75172

LEGO Star Wars set 75172, “Y-Wing Starfighter”, represents the Y-wing starfighter from the Star Wars universe. Released in 2017, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 691 pieces, with a mix of Rebel, Imperial and alien characters.

Set 75172 depicts the Y-Wing Starfighter, a distinctive combat spacecraft within the Star Wars licence. In the LEGO Star Wars range, it belongs with the theme’s buildable starfighters and spacecraft, using a long profile, a forward cockpit area and a rear structure with a deliberately mechanical appearance.

The set contains 691 pieces and 5 minifigures. The named figures are Stormtrooper, Dark Blue Helmet Vents, Rebel Pilot U-wing / Y-wing, Dark Blue Flight Suit, Black and White Checks on Helmet, Astromech Droid, R3-S1, Admiral Raddus and Moroff. The build focuses on the ship’s recognisable outline, side assemblies and the integration of an astromech droid, while the character selection gives context beyond the vehicle itself.

This set suits LEGO Star Wars collectors as well as builders who want a model for play or display. Among other Star Wars spacecraft sets, it is best understood as a vehicle based set supported by a notably varied figure line-up, linking the pilot and droid with additional characters from the wider conflict.
