    The offficial Star Wars site just confirmed the release date for the UCS Y-Wing. We will see this set hit shelves and online on May 4th (Star Wars day!!). Can’t wait to finally get my hands on this and see this iconic ship in large scale Lego compared to the other Y-Wing lego models. This set measures in at over 2 inches tall without the stand, 24 inches long and 11 inches wide. When mounted on the official UCS set stand it is about 9 inches tall. This set has a hefty price tag of $199 but as time goes on you will probably be able to get this half price in sales. I am currently unaware of the piece count on this set if you know please leave a reply below. The box also looks very smart with the black background. The blue print on the top also looks like a mature addition on the top. As you can see from the box this set is aimed at a builders 14+ but I’m sure anyone can if they understand the instructions well enough. I’m unsure about the playability features at the moment but the view screen hatch opens up and down. It doesn’t necessarily need any as it is for display purposes.

    Here are some pictures I have found from the forum article on StarWars.com

    This gold leader (Jon Vander) figure looks great too. Amazing detail and colours.

    Man, I'm a B-Wing boy, but Y-Wings have really won me over lately.

    That's a fantastic build set!

    Yeah it looks quality like all of Lego’s Products. I’m more a Y-wing boy tbh but B-wings are second best.
