The smile on your face at the end of the restoration made my day, boss. So glad she's in your collection.
Watching your restoration, I was reminded just how persnickety those landing gear were, when I restored mine. It took 3 tries for me but, once it's properly keyed, it works perfectly.
Loved the editing and camera angle changes you did on this one, too.
To anyone considering this ship, you really should get yourselves a Y-Wing. It's the logical choice.🖖
Michael that was a great gift you’re the man
@@georgeaitken2719 You set a very high standard, sir. Thank you.
My original ‘82 Y-wing is still is great condition despite tons of play, but I never had a droid for it. Always (for some reason) always wished an R5-D4 but when allowance is all you have as a kid, you have to be picky. The droid never made the cut. I never knew til I was an adult that the astrometric figures fit but were super loose.
So, now begins the journey of finding aftermarket, fan-made stuff for that purpose and I’m so glad you covered this aspect in the vid! 🙂
Good video. My Y-Wing is one of the prides of my collection. Took forever to source original parts. I recently ran across another one that is missing all sorts of pieces. Like you I will be using reproduction parts for that one.
Love that MEGO Spock. Always wanted a Kenner Y-Wing. Spock would’ve been flying mine when I was a kid.
The Y-Wing seems to be the more sought after ship in the Star Wars universe. I would put it right up there with the Millennium Falcon. Your restoration was incredible to watch. There is just something about that laser cannon sound that puts a smile on your face when you hear it. You have a true piece of art now👍
I love it! Y-wings are supposed to be rugged, love the look the new parts give the fighter. Fantastic and realistic video on this: it took me about 5 tries to get those gear teeth to line up AND remember to get the other parts installed when putting the cover on. I kept a Y wing shell I found at a flea market for more than 25 years and did not restore it until I found this amazing community. Seeing you restore this makes me very happy!
I love it!!! I had one when I was a kid but it was bare bones and the front landing gear also was broken. My mom bought it at a garage sale back then, probably 1988 or 89. It was in the same state as the one in this video so it was really cool to see this restoration. Its almost like watching my childhood toy be fixed the way it should have been. Thank you for this!
I always felt the Y-Wing was the bastard child of the rebel airforce, and as I never owned one I am impressed by the size and its features. For me, it is better than the X-Wing and your restoration has provided the confidence to tackle one in the future! Thanks Analog Toys!
What a great job! Really love how you rejuvenated an old toy. I have no problem with repro parts!
Nothing wrong with reproduction replacement parts. The people that get worked up about it are idiots, ruining toy collecting and fandom in general. Anyway, it's a lovely restoration. Looks great. If Stan Solo comes out with a proper Y-Wing pilot figure (the Y-Wing's got their own, distinct pilot uniforms in RotJ), that would be a great way to display the toy. Great job, Tony.
I'd buy that figure 😎👍
Yeah i dont get it. what are people who restore things supposed to do; just 'hope there's a still genuine part out there?
I see both points. No different than buying a restored car. As long as you're happy or as long as you're transparent if you sell it that it has repro. I prefer all original but you pay for that. I detest repro guns or accessories on figs - thats shady. Don't mind as much for the parts on ships but I've never had a problem finding original parts.
She's a beauty! I always liked the Y-Wing. She reminds me of the F-111 Aarvark, the first aircraft I was trained on as a specialist. A heavy but fast two seater that packs a very heavy punch.
Great use of the camera angles. Excellent video mate. This is one Star Wars vehicle I will try to add to the collection some day. Great gift Michael Shaffer. 🖖
Hi, I bought a basic Y-Wing shell off FB a few months ago and followed your instructions. Got the whole thing restored with a sticker sheet and 3-D printed parts from ebay. Looks great now. Thanks for your help.
Congratulations!
In this excellent Analog Toys video, Tony shows exactly how patience and determination are the best tools for any restoration project.
Well, maybe patience, determination and a bottle of beer! :)
Great video! As a Joe collector, and a responsible family man, I was stuck trying to justify spending big bucks on a complete Mauler. I went the 3D print route too. It allowed me to assemble a really nice example I can enjoy now, instead of spending years finding original parts priced in my budget range. I'll slowly replace the 3D parts, but for right now, I couldn't be happier with what I've got.
just seeing it all come together is what it's all about, what a joy. Will be doing the same with mine for sure
Another great video! It's amazing how much 3-D printing has brought to the hobby, both in terms of replacement parts, as in this video, but also in terms of new characters and accessories.
Hello Tony, I’m over myself. Great job restoring this iconic ship…
My best pal Dom, his older brothers loved Star Wars & they'd passed them on to him. One of the ships they had was the B-Wing which I remember buying later on in the MicroMachine Action Fleet form. Very distinctive looking Rebel Fighter Ship.
Thanks Tony, the 3D parts look great. Inspired me to start restoring my bare shell y-wing.
You really seem like the nicest guy. I love the action force add where you put your old gear on.
Really enjoyed this! Love seeing repo parts save a old toy and how good it looks after! Nice job!!!
My favorite of the ships when I was collecting as a kid. Going to get another soon.
That toy is in better condition than mine was after a year of play back in '84!
The red droid is a good match for Mr. Spock, Vulcan ships are usually reddish in color; I guess Vulcans like the color red.
Congrats on having completed your grail toy Star Wars ship!
Nice job tony. Looks great.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing! I felt like a child again!🤸
Cheers Tony! Great step by step restoration video, congrats on finally getting a Y-Wing! I wish ild gi joe vehicles were assembled with screws!
Great video Tony, the smile on your face at the end is great.
I have renewed hope to get a Y-Wing into my own collection.
You and @Retroblasting are my favs, great channels, this is older content, but I'm slowly going through your back catalog and just thumbs upping everything as I watch them. Great work!
Brilliant, love this. Die cast stickers are great for Action Man vehicle's too.
Great restoration! Love that Spock is the pilot!
I guess he couldn't get a figure of Gold Leader Jon "Dutch" Vander!
Me: No way he can restore this
Analog Toys: Hold my y-wing
I mean 3d printed parts are good to restore something 38+years old i don't have a problem with it but for me I try and get all orignal parts if I can still no matter how old you are restoring or replacing a full working ship puts a smile on anyone's face great job
Great video Tony, took me 3 attempts to get the landing gear to work correctly.
That’s great Tony. Thanks for sharing, I believe 3D printing is the future of completing these old holy grail toys that would otherwise be incomplete. I had the feeling if getting a holy grail piece myself at the first toy show I’ve been at for a while. I know the feeling you must have had doing this video. Cheers!
Love the Y wing and A Wing
Nice one Tony, thanks for bringing another toy back from the brink. Also kudos for leaving in your frustrations during assembly, these really help to see what 'can' go wrong. Bought a bashed up 'Saga' edition Y-Wing and the front leg does not come down with the rear, so you've enticed me to open her up and check the linkage. 3d parts here we come! 🖖
Good luck
@@AnalogToys just an update Tony...the Saga 1999 edition is internally different to the Vintage collection - no connection to front landing gear and the battery compartment is sealed shut - so no play value there, just static with a better paint job! Plus the separation between the top and bottom hulls requires removal of two plastic screw covers which don't come off easy. Thought I'd add this in case anyone thinks they are the same.
I would like to see more of this type of video, much in the same way you do history.
I appreciate that but you must also understand that these videos do not perform very well in views. I will make more videos like this when I have the right project to film but I won't be turning into Toy Polloi any time soon.
The anti-repro flakes can go jump off a cliff. Awesome restore. I wouldn’t be surprised if my older brother’s Y-wing fuselage is still in my parents attic
Love the two camera set up and seeing you work out all the little issues along the way. Very enjoyable video thanks to Mr. Shaffer.
Another excellent video Tony. Great restoration on a really cool toy. Loved the camera work too. Outstanding mukka.
I got stickers for the Y-Wing from Zac Paris from Australia. Best stickers for Star Wars out there. The original bomb cost me $50 on eBay. Crazy.
Awesome restoration.
Superb video Tony, many thanks
Nice vid, Tony. I used Toy Polloi's fix using K'nex rods for the engines. People may get mad because it isn't all original, but it made it displayable. Just couldn't justify paying $30 Canadian for each rod.
Excellent restoration video these are the hardest to film👍
I am writing the comment prior to seeing the video. I am anxious to see what you do and I must say I have been enamored by the Y-Wing since I first saw it in May 1977. I have many versions, several Lego ones, the Galoob Action Fleet, the MPC model and a few more. Never had this as I was "a little too old" but a Y-Wing is a Y-Wing.....
Tony, that was awesome. You brought her back to life! I would proudly display her front shelf. And the Red R5 is awesome! Pretty sure it's R5-D8. And Spock, that's logical!
Awesome restoration!
Apart from being engrossing I think this video will inspire others to try their hands at restoration especially since identical decals and printed parts are easily available. Great video Tony
Just getting into a Y-wing resto now. Bugger-all parts in Australia. I'm looking at 3D printed repro parts to get it done. I'm doing a red and a yellow Y-wing using shells from ebay.
Looking at your Stan Solo droid crew, you may need a few more Y-Wings. Great repair video!
Great tutorial Tony
Great video! I’ve gotten many replacement stickers from zacparis for my MASK vehicles. Top shelf! Greetings from 🇨🇦!
Mr Spock in a Y-Wing!? Highly Illogical!!! Lol! It looks the business Tony. The Y-Wing has always been my favourite Star Wars fighter and its certainly a lot less common than the X-Wings & TIEs. Very enjoyable restoration!
I miss my childhood xwing toy .
Great video Tony!! Zachparis has fantastic decals!
I bought those, thinking I was going to repair it myself, so they shipped from Australia to the United States and back to Tony in Australia.
I got and still have The Kenner Y-Wing Fighter and I have the Mego Mr. Spock mini figure from the 1980s and for the life of me I never think of having Spock flying the Y-Wing! Brilliant!
It is a underrated toy overshadowed by the x wing it’s a shame the y wing didn’t come out till the tale end of the palitoy run I would have loved to have one
The sculpt on it is far superior to the X-Wing, yet that gets all the press. The Play features included in this one far exceed most other Rebel ships, as well. The fact that it has a two-piece bomb, a cockpit, a Swivel Action Gun with accompanying sound, and a slot for a Droid just puts it on the Mt. Rushmore of Kenner SW ships for me.
I think maybe the mechanism would work a lot easier with a bit of lithium grease on the cogs, as you said at the beginning the mechanism look a lot like that you would find in record and tape decks and they were full of grease. Great content thanks for sharing. I thought this was gonna be one of Dave's uploads until I noticed the analogue toys logo.
A beautiful job sir.
Great job Michael... you made Tony toy polloi!
Great work.
I really enjoyed this restoration job on the Y-Wing, Tony. I also appreciate all of the great knowledge and tips you supply with your uploads. Thanks.
nice y wing restoration tony. id be worried myself taking it apart and fixing it great job. love the y wing.
Just got a ywing shell today and will be doing the same thing as you Tony
Love it 👍 saw a shell at a toyfair last weekend, know I should of picked it up.
The Y-Wing might be my favorite Star Wars ship. Great video Tony! And I love those Stan Solo astromechs.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing it. Cheers, from Argentina.
Great restoration! Congratulations, the Y-Wing looks fantastic!
I simply love that gun action
Nice video ! Thanks
Y-Wing is My 2nd Fav SW Star Fighter... right after the Og Tie Fighter! Now Jealous of not having one!
Awesome job Tony. Love seeing the Stan Solo droids in it 👍
Let's take a step back on this feature. The master vehicle patterns would have possibly been at least 4:1 with a tooled 1:1 material thickness of 1.5 mm. Now imagine working out the locations of all the parts, their functions, the mechanical design (and the durability of those features), material specs, toy safety and so many other factors and you realise just how amazing these toys are and worth renovation- all done under intense deadline pressures, and you will realise what an accolade this homage to the toy industry is. These designers were real heroes-- and all without computer aided technology. Great feature again. You purists really lose out here, you probably wouldn't have the patience to attempt this type of thing anyway!!
Hahaha thank you Greg!
If only I had known Tony. I have two Y-wings to cannibalize
great video, please more!!!
Yeah, I have the same stickers from the guy in Australia. I got them on ebay US as well.
It’s finally great to hear that a holy grail Star Wars collectible is something we can all aspire to it was certainly mine too! Thanks mate really great video keep them coming!
The beer cameo elevates this already-great restoration. Just saying.
Since the Millennium Falcon is part of Trek canon due to some fun with the effects guys in the Borg Battle of the film First Contact it's ok to have Mr Spock at the helm. After all he was an Ambassador of goodwill and peace and would have surely looked forward to meeting people from a galaxy far far away.
It's funny that you'll be spending about the same amount if you buy a new one, and if you buy the original parts. It's similar to spending the same amount in buying a new appliance, and buying new parts to have it repaired.
Mr. Spock looks on favorably.
I love my Y wing and ewok village
I remember having a none eletric y wing toy with a built in droid head that couldnt be removed but still had a bomb latch and slider that controled the landing gear just no motor at all
Looked into it the one i had was the 2007 30 aniversery y wing which was none eletric
You mentioned’Stan Solo Creations’. Anyone else might make perfect fit astromechs for the original Y-Wing?
Is your wedding ring made of titanium if so we may have the same wedding rings lol or atleast they look alot alike
The engines resemble Warp Nacelles , So it is Logical that Mr. Spock pilot the Y- Wing. Live Long and may the Force be with you Analog Toys.
I like your reasoning, mister 🖖.
Spock is from star trek you idiot, y wing is star wars, trek and wars ARE NOTHING like eachother omfg...
@@mathabroad8908 Who are you to call ANYONE an idiot. I know the difference. They are fictional characters from fictional stories. People can mix and match any toys they choose. You are not mature enough to use the internet. You shouldn't comment if you can be respectful of others.
i registet at the Desert Sand Skiff as the Slave one that Kenner done build some very fragil mecanical constrution on to Toys , only at some off them , was not typycal in that time ,and hasbro dint done later or i dint registet they had done alike .Just i buy a Y wing body for 19.50€ on ebay and will restore it also with 3d printparts .
When I was a kid, I'd try and draw/imagine the other "Letters of the alphabet" fighters, always thought it was odd the B Wing [Toy] didn't look much like a B, when the A, X and Y wings kinda did, I don't suppose they could call the B wing a T wing or the Empire might sue
great restoration. How did you find the different R2 droids ?
I think there are so many shells available because people strip them and sell the parts for more money. There are literally hundreds of millennium Falcon shells on eBay totally devoid of any parts at all.
I've regretted giving my 83 Y Wing away when I was 15...
Good afternoon greetings
I just found your video, I am writing from Mexico, for the following reason, I like Star Wars and I have a Vintage Y-Wing Fighter, from the Mexican Company Lili Ledy, the toy was mine from when I was a child; I gave it to a brother and the years passed and my brother returned it to me, it turns out that I gave it to him completely; but I return it without turbines, without the cannon on the top of the cabin, I also lack the front cannons, I only have the pump.
Luckily I have the R2-D2 that fits in the socket; an R2-D2 from that time; but without the decal.
One question knows where I can get my missing Y-Wing Fighter parts and R2-D2's body decal.
Thank you very much for the video I loved it and I send you greetings from Mexico.
Sincerely, Mario Alberto Casillas Ochoa.
There are people who sell reproductions of the stickers, www.ebay.com/str/zacparistoyaccessories is one that a lot pf people use for replacement stickers. For Y-Wing parts, decide if you're strictly looking for originals or if you would be satisfied with reproductions. Check on eBay and etsy.com for either.
@@AnalogToys Thank you very much for answering my question so quickly. I really thank you, I have been looking for the parts of the Y-Wing Fighter for years, the truth is that it is very difficult to find the original parts and if one finds them they must be expensive, but in the case of the Y-Wing as it is from the Lili Ledy factory, who had the Star Wars license, I don't think I could find them years ago they sold me an OTC Y-Wing, but I didn't have the heart to take the parts and leave the OTC Y-Wing without those parts. Since I really love the Y-Wing. Thank you very much, I hope they send the reproductions to Mexico. God bless you and thank you again for the quick response to my question. Greetings from Mexico.
Like to see u restore a metal chain Mr T figure
“Hot soapy water?” Careful Tony, you might have to start paying Toy Polloi royalties if you keep that up.
I looked at the price of parts and chose to buy my own printer, I've now purchased models would otherwise not be interested in and printed the parts, in some places I have even design my own parts and shared. Now have a large collection but no space.
I have a 1978 Millennium Falcon thats missing some parts
"Live long, and bomber."
I mean, you’re no Toy Polloi, but not too bad I guess 😂
(kidding)
Nice work.
Got a link to the sticker seller?
www.ebay.com.au/str/zacparistoyaccessories?_trksid=p2047675.l2563%29
I just picked one up for $AUD 250 missing front guns and bomb.
