LEGO Star Wars 8037 ANAKIN'S Y-WING STARFIGHTER Review! (2009) 

Just gotta keep hoping every year for a Rex’s Y-Wing. It’ll happen eventually, right?

My uncle, who's since passed away, gave this set to me in 2009 under the condition that I could build it in under two hours (I was a young kid at the time). I completed the challenge, and called him to let him know - and he was surprised I was able to do it, but said I would've been able to keep it regardless 😂 RIP Uncle Dave, you were a real one. Thanks for the blast of nostalgia Ryan

The best play scale Y-Wing to date. It's ridiculous that this set hasn't been re-made yet.

R2D2 when he sees this method of being attached to the ship 😳

The bomb dropping play feature is very cool and I’m totally up to seeing this be remade again - this is definitely a set ahead of its time

Man this set is so nostalgic, I really hope we get a captain Rex y-wing in the coming years. I love the y-wing with panelling

It would SO cool to see a Captain Rex Y-Wing be made in 2024!

Such a nostalgic set and still one of my all-time favorites. Really hoping we’ll get some new Clone Wars Y-wings in the near future :)

I remember getting this set for my birthday when it came out and man I love it and I found it a couple years ago at a garage sale. You won’t believe me but for $1!!!! 100% complete, all figures & accessories. Even the OG box and manual even the extra pieces. Still have it it this day

7:11 when the clone wars y-wing has more cake than the buildable Chewbacca 😂

This was the very first Lego set that me, my brothers and my dad got to build together and it was fantastic. Even as 3 young kids who didn’t take good care of things the build lasted almost a decade! It was always extremely fun to play with.

I love this set!! I just took mine apart , washed all the pieces and rebuilt it. Such nostalgia rebuilding it. One of my favorite sets that I always keep around to display now and then.

This was my big Lego Star Wars set I had growing up. This set brought so many awesome memories and I’m so glad I have it in my collection

You have gotten really great at editing and overall video structure! You mentioned this in a recent video and I went back in time and the difference is very impressive!

The R2-D2 actually is exclusive- it's the only set to have him in the Clone Wars art style.

This was my first LEGO set! It is so amazing and one of my favorite sets of all time. So much nostalgia!

It’s nice that you’re praising this set for what it is and it really does cement its place as one the best sets LEGO Star Wars has ever released with probably the best variant of this iconic bomber. This was one of my personal favourite sets when I got it 2009 because the design was simple with so much nostalgia with a unique version of this iconic ship from its Original Trilogy version. Plus this set is pretty solid…and I will stand by that statement. Also the technic missile launcher is still beautiful. This is definitely one of those hidden gem sets that LEGO Star Wars has released and it’s awesome that you acknowledge how it’s stood the test of time. I would also love see LEGO release an updated/remade version/modern day remake of this set since it would be awesome… I.e. Captain Rex’s Y-Wing.

Just got the Set for my birthday what a beautiful build! Aged like fine wine, could be put out today and still be wonderful, maybe a few piece changes on the side to make it straighter but thats really complaining on a very high level.

I display mine with a clone pilot, clone gunner and the astromech from the 2014 V-wing. R4-P17 if i remember correctly, looks really good with them

Hoping someday we get Rex’s Y wing, but great review Ryan! And it was a pretty good set I liked the design of this Y wing. Didn’t get it cause I wasn’t alive lol 😂

I had this set when I was ten and loved it. I rebuilt it as Rex’s Y wing over a decade later after the Clone Wars season 7 finale. Still one of my favorite builds!

This is a cool Y-wing ship which will become the Rebellion Y-wing. They should make a Clone Wars Y-wing that’ll give you the ability to take off the paneling and modify it into the Rebellion Y-wing since they’re all the same ship model.

The thing I love about sets from the era is when your done building you can see all the other sets that you will never afford

I remember opening this set for Christmas when I was 8 and being soooo excited

1:01 dude I remember seeing that in the instructions and being pissed off. That brings back memories. Wow just when you think you've completely forgotten about something.

The 2009’s box corner design is absolutely badass ! It’s like the Clones are chilling there, looking upon the kids in the toy shop while saying: « Yeah, ain’t it cool ? »

Man… I used to have this set when I was 6 years old. One of my favourite lego set I ever owned.

I got this set on fb marketplace. Such a good, classic clone wars set. This was definitely one of my best buys

TCW style Y-wing is my favorite style Y-wing with the pristine look and the set looks like it holds up even to this day. Here hoping for a 501st Y-wing and hopefully LEGO doesn’t correlate the backlash of the coruscant guard gunship with the Y-wing and not make the variant.

I'd love for Lego to release either a basic yellow Clone Wars Y-wing or one of the red Clone Wars Y-wings, because while this Clone Wars Y-wing is really good it's very specifically Anakin's Y-wing from the episode "Shadow of Malevolence." You can tell that it's Anakin's Y-wing because it's mostly yellow with white markings, whereas the basic Clone Wars Y-wing is mostly white with yellow markings (basically an inverted version of this set).

About the yellow part being different colors I actually notice the same thing on recent sets. My Mario 64 cube also has several yellows. 2-3 different tone mostly on the flat square pieces that make the upper face and the border of the others. Edit : also have that on the Y-Wing I got this year. I assumed it was because it second hand but since white parts are not yellowed at all might be also an original difference in tones like yours

My favorite set, still reminder looking at it in Barns & Noble.

You’re totally right. I liked this set at the time. But 14 years later this set still holds up great and I would buy today. Really wanting Rex’s y-wing now. And as I’ve said, I’m really more of an OT Star Wars fan. So all the more impressive. Great vid.

1:09 He's coming back to check your progress.

This type of set reviews brings memories after last night episode

I use the upside down hands cuz they hold the sabers closer while still being nice and vertical. The upside down hilts is unforgivable though

Nice review, great set

I have this set built and I love it I wish I had a couple more to make a squadron

still torn up that i got rid of mine when i was younger. such a good set

Amazed how this set really went up in price!

I can imagine this being a really good starters set for kids who just started to watch clone wars and wants to buy a Lego set. Like imagine, you get a hero’s vehicle, and you get three iconic main character mini figures despite them being not exclusive. As a kid I would’ve loved this

5:39 What a catch!

the Y-Wing is by far my favorite ship, and i've been on a mision to collect every one relesed. I have the rogue one, and rise if skywalker ones, but really want the UCS one,and I've been trying to ge this one for quite a while now.

You are not alone in your appreciation of Clone Wars style minifigures, I think that they are very artistic and stand out from the otherwise bland faces of minifigures.

Really great time to release this video after the latest episode of Ahsoka.

I’ve had sets with yellow pieces from similar years that also have slight color variations, I think it has to do with the amount of dye they put into the mold being inconsistent

this is my favorite 2023 set

Picked this up sealed for 180 a week or two ago. Really fun build.

I still have this set and it's such a good one and really detailed. And to answer your question, no the shade of yellow was all the same back then because I got it just as it came out and all the yellow was the same shade.

Wow so cool keep up the awesome Lego content.

Love you man dr productions

a captain rex y wing set with a captain rex figure as a cheaper way to get a version of him with the venator coming out would be so perfect, the hopium is through the roof

One thing im suprised that you didnt mention is the sag with both engines. I bought this set used complete with box for 30$cad and I noticed the end of the engines sag compared to the front, its not a big deal but definitely a bit more fragile then you'd expect.

Hahah I have this set, present from back when it came out. Nostalgia is real for this set haha

that was an amazing catch of the bullet

It probably took Ryan like 20 times to catch the mega technique misal launcher 😂

Nice catch!

I would like to know were you got the display cabinet from its really nice

Got this set used (complete) for 20$ on ebay. Came with the instructions, but without the box and figures. Easy deal.

Earth Vader is there to keep you awake while you’re building.

Ask MandR what dusting kit do you use for dusting your Lego. Also just finished watching clone wars it’s such a good show.

This was an awesome set

I love this set I hope to own it one day

I've never been a fan of the "full" Y-wing but that's just because I grew up with the "stripped" one. Still a cool set though.

I got this set while with instructions and the bounty Hunter ship with all the figs for 70$ on a porch pick-up one night three years ago and man I have a lot of sets but this is the one next to the courasant police ship that I have to say is great to see everyday it’s so clone wars that you have to have it I wish they would make a Rex version someday they need to

Wow I just pulled this one out of storage to see this video, what are the odds.

Love this set, I have 4 of them

I had the same issues with the coloring differences on mine too, amazing set though

Such a nice model. I'd buy a fleet if it was cheaper. Hoping for a remake !

Love the set😊

That was really the best day you could have released that video. If you know, you know.

Another solid clone wars set!

My favorite Y-Wing design. I payed about $150 for this sealed (about 4 years ago)

Brings back good memories! I remember bringing the Y-Wing for show and Tell. Accidentally shot someone in the eye with missile. Good Times.

I used to have this one classic

The only thing I didn't like about this set is that its Anakin and Ahsoka's, the regular clone Y-Wings had inversed colors (yellow where white, and white where yellow.) Always wanted to make a custom one w that color scheme

This was one of my only sets from clone wars back then since I was a kid :,(

I LOVE THIS SHIP .

The yellows not matching is still a problem, I recently got the Dreamzzz Nightmare Shark Ship, and that still has that exact discrepancy.

If it’s yellow it could be just cause there’s a darker color underneath the fiat suffers from it a lot in some spots

I just wish for a new clone wars one. One that isn't Captain Rex's y-wing with two reg pilots. But I wouldn't complain if we got a newer clone wars y-wing since this is the only one

I am in total agreement that Lego should create a Rex Y-wing. The blue and white with gray would look fantastic! It would also sell well if you give fans another Rex mini fig.

This set has my favorite version of R2-D2

A lot of people don’t realize that, that is an exclusive R2-D2. It’s a clone wars version that only came in this set.

I actually managed to part out this set

When are we getting a new episode 3 Anikan, it’s been 3 years!!! We need an updated version ASAP!

My first big set😁

dam dude you made me excited for a second thinking this is a new one lol

This R2 is exclusive no? I think they accidentally used the head in the Ewok village but the body is exclusive iirc

This set has held up very well, I must say.

This is the best play scale Y-wing LEGO has ever done.

You should review the Rouge one y wing

Also M and R, when will your next clone army video be, we havent had one since 2021

We need a remake

So we’re just gonna let him get away with the Sphinx animal crossing joke 👀😂.

I didn't know putting the minifigure's hands upside down to hold the lightsabers was a lego sin. I actually do it all the time so lightsaber do not go too further out

Something seems different from your review you made of this set in 2010, I can’t figure it out though

How many attempts did the missel catch take?

I had one of these when I was a kid and unfortunately my brother destroyed it and lost a bunch of the pieces, I was so upset and even more so now lol.

Because of sets like this at the time as a kid I got confused for a bit how exactly the lightsaber was supposed to be held and put together 😂 Maybe they’ll finally make a Rex Y-wing what with them Finally making a new minifigure
