Toys'R'Us has this set on sale this week so I picked one up. I have been excited about this set from the first pictures that were released.
To start with, here is a comparison of this one versus the one released in 2007. There are several things I like about this one better. To start with, the front of the engines don't have those golf ball looking caps. The blasters have more detail rather than just being rods. I also think the shape of the head is more traditional Y-wing than the previous model.
I think this one is an improvement in just about every way.
