Lego Star Wars Review Set 8037 Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter
The Star Wars Lego Set 8039, Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter is a model of the vehicle featured in the Clone Wars television series, episode Shadow of Malevolence where Anakin leads the Y Wings in a daring raid on General Greivous' ship Malevolence. The Y-Wings were also featured in the original trilogy movies, acting as bombing ships in the Battle Of Endor.
The Lego set is representative of the Clone wars period as it comes with minifigures of Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano and astromech droid R2-D2. The set comes with 570 pieces and the vehicle measures 17 inches (43.2cm) long by 7 inches (17.8cm) wide, making it quite a large vehicle. All the minifigures can be placed inside the vehicle, Anakin in the cockpit, Ahsoka in a central gunning turret and R2-D2 in the back. It is heavier and larger than would first appear in the pictures and is sturdy enough for fast paced play.
There are a number of playable features on the ship. The turret guns move up and down but do not rotate, the cockpit opens as does a storage area in the back and by pressing a button in R2-D2's alcove missiles fire out from the front of the ship (there are no flick fire missiles on this model). There are only two stickers in the set which is a boon for Lego fans and the price per piece count is quite reasonable compared to other sets released in this wave.
It is surprisingly large and sturdier than the previous Y-Wing releases (7150 and 7658) due to the fact that it has solid, filled-in engine boosters rather than the hollow design featured in earlier models. It is a highly recommended set for ardent fans and younger builders will enjoy its high swooshability factor.
