The Y-Wing Starfighter has always been one of my favorite "Star Wars" spaceships, so when I saw this set dramatically marked down, I had to pounce for additional quasi-quarantine entertainment.
This 578-piece set has some unique aspects. This version of the Y-Wing (referred to as a "wishbone" in the description, but I've never heard it called that) has a new color scheme based on its "Rise of the Resistance" appearance.
The spring-loaded shooters are great and the folding landing gear and clever cockpit area are cool, but the big bonus (at least in my household) are the trio of bombs you can drop via a nifty gear-wheel mechanism. The build also comes with a nice haul of five minifigures: Poe Dameron, Zorii Bliss, and a First Order Snowtrooper, plus two droids -- D-O and a vividly colored green astromech.
We've already been combining this set with the previously discussed AT-ST Raider, creating battle scenes using Play-Doh, rocks, and a cooking tin (don't ask).
Suffice to say that the Y-Wing Starfighter has been a welcome addition to a household universe that no longer features rules in the traditional sense.
