LEGO Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter 75249 Building Kit

Piloted by Zorii Bliss during the Battle of Exegol as part of the citizen's fleet. This set is a great build with great minifigures. The design of the ship is excellent and I enjoy the bomb dropping function. It includes three minifigures, Zorii Bliss, Poe Dameron and a First Order Snow trooper, as well as D-O and an astromech droid. The Y-Wing was first seen used in the Battle of Yavin, it is a classic starship that has been used in the very first battle seen in the Skywalker saga to the last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7- (almost 8) year-old son, loves Legos, is great at assembling them, and has sets all over the house. When I told him that I got him the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter set (recommended for kiddos and others 8+), he was so excited. The set is somewhat challenging. But, in typical Lego fashion, the full-color guide and clearly-labeled bags make the experience 'a snap,' (yes, I hear the groans now... pun intended). I let him run with the project, watching as he went and helping him learn from his mistakes. He faltered a few times, but we course corrected together and had a blast assembling the set. Three characters with weapons, two droids, spring-loaded firing missiles, three bombs that fall from a manually-rotated cylinder in the rear middle of the fighter, brightly-colored stickers, and just a really cool all-round build make this 578-piece fighter a fun set to assemble... and of course play with. My son spent hours playing with this set after building it and refused to let us disassemble it and put it away for a week (despite Christmas being two weeks away and knowing he'd have more Lego sets to build. So, is the set worth buying? Definitely. I recommend the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter as a co-build project for you and your young builder and is definitely a solid set for older builders (and Star Wars fans, of course).. Happy building, all. :)

One of the best looking Y-Wings you can build. Figures are ok and the build experience is fairly good too

its lego. a bit overpriced. but its lego. autistic 17yo stepson who takes legos very seriously absolutely loves it. legos calm him down. great for his concentration

Brings back childhood memories of playing x-wing vs. tie fighter. fun build.

My 9 year old really enjoyed this Lego. He found lots of alternate builds for it too and liked the mini figures it came with.

My son loves legos and Star Wars. this was a perfect gift to celebrate a huge health milestone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love LEGO and so does my kids. We also love everything Star Wars. I was so excited when LEGO came out with so many Star Wars sets. I knew I had to get a few to build with my kids. The first one we chose was the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter. We were able to complete it in a couple hours. We all took turns working on it. My wife even helped a little! The quality is great, just like every LEGO product. The mini-figures are a great addition. It also has an opening cockpit, spring loaded shooters, and a bomb-drop function. I am now looking forward to when my kids stop playing with it, so I can put in on my shelf with my other Star Wars collectibles.

Built this a few days ago shortly after building the Y-Wing from Rogue One (75172) so I could account for the differences. They are meant to be different variants or models of the actual Y-Wings depicted in the movies, and I think Lego did a good job with ensuring that these two models were in fact different. The Resistance Y-Wing is viewed as a sleeker more symmetrical variant, whereas the original was not. This one is definitely much more sleek, and I feel that Lego did the best they could without having to create new elements to make it more movie accurate. From a build standpoint; the bomb bay is slightly different, the nacelles are different, and the cockpit/nose shows the greatest difference with elements used. The model is longer and taller than the Rogue One Y-Wing. It is a very sturdy model that can be played with and I feel it is different enough in terms of how it is built from the Rogue One Y-Wing that it is a good one to have for any fan. Please note that the picture shows the models without their stickers. I like to keep my options open ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old son and I enjoyed building the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter. It's a pretty easy build other than getting the two rocket engines with their bars/poles put together in the final state, but nothing I couldn't help with. We played Empire vs Resistance using his other Lego sets and he had a great time. Cool mini figures included as well. All in all a fun build and good looking set of Lego's. We would recommend.
