While all eyes may be on Avengers: Infinity War right now, don't forget that not only is Solo: A Star Wars Story set to be released next month but May 4th is also fast approaching, a day commonly known to fans like us as Star Wars Day! There will no doubt be lots of celebrations that day but one of the coolest has to be the arrival of the new LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Y-Wing Starfighter.
The latest addition to the Ultimate Collector Series, it's going to be available exclusively from LEGO Stores and shop.LEGO.com. Consisting of 1,967 pieces and measuring over 7cm high, 61cm long and 11cm wide, it's a gorgeous looking piece and essential for any collector or Star Wars fan. As you can see below, it even comes with tilting display stand allows the model to be showcased in all its glory and it will retail in the UK for the actually very reasonable sum of £169.99. Here's the official description:
The UCS Y-Wing Starfighter™ provides an intricate build experience and is packed full of amazing, highly authentic details, including wheel-activated rotating cannons to give you full control of the battlefield, and a cockpit featuring a Gold Leader and R2-BHD droid minifigures.
Pretty awesome, right? This bad boy is a must-have and while the Y-Wing may not be as well-known to non-fans as the Millennium Falcon or X-Wing, we all know how iconic this is and it's good to see it finally receive the spotlight from LEGO. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts with us below.
