The new Y-Wing sucks.

I'm pretty sure that's the fault of the Clone Wars graphic designers, not LEGO. But you're right, it does suck.

Technically, the Y-wings seen in the clone wars are the Y-wings seen in the OT. The difference in looks is that the panels had basically all been torn of by the alliance because they had to make so many repairs on the ships so often that it was better off just open.

So if you stripped this thing down, you'd have a Y-wing.

I have no idea what this means. Care to elaborate?
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

My exclusive coverage continues. Since most everything else has already been plopped somewhere on the page, here's specifically Space Police stuff.

NOTE: The return of Octan uniforms and several other classic lines as cameos. What's even more incredible about this, is all the sides representing "good guys" and "bad guys" are basically exactly along how my armies are structured. Meaning, I could just flat out add pre-made sets to my armies and they'd fit 100%.

Okay, totally cool for gladiator battles. Look at the helmets of the bad guys for 5972 Container Heist, 5974 Galactic Enforcer, and 5973 Hyperspeed Pursuit.

Gonna be honest, I'm probably gonna spend like a hundred bucks on Hoth sets just so I can have a squad of Snowtroopers and Tauntaun calvalry. And then another hundred on that new castle village. And also for the new pirate ship, since I was deprived as a child and never got one of the originals.

And THEN the space police sets come out. I better get my tax return quick...

Why are all of these awesome sets coming out this year? I'm not complaining, but all the sets I have seen so far that are going to be released this summer are not disappointing.

I need a job so I can afford all this amazing plastic.

EDIT: Honestly, Space Police couldn't get any better.

EDIT 2: Proof.

I built one and it's awesome.

You're that bad in spelling IRL?

At home, if you download Mozilla, it has a built-in spellchecker (I'm using IE right now, though).

He says all y-wings out at the moment suck (considering their prices); and that he was reminded that he has one.
