Y-Wing # 7658 (BNIB) $150


Lego Star Wars 7658 Y-Wing Fighter was a mainstay starfighter in the Rebel Alliances' navy. It saw combat as a fighter-bomber, as it could fight its way through enemy territory to its target, deliver its proton bomb payload, and fight its way back out. Standard Y-wing fighters were armed with two laser cannons, two ion cannons, and two proton torpedo launchers. Its armor was made of titanium-reinforced Alusteel alloy, coupled with Chempat shields. This made the craft very resilient and well shielded. However, it was slow compared to the other fighters in the Rebel Alliance. Yet, the potential damage it could deliver compensated for its slowness.
