BrickWars Sets Description

Lego Star Wars 6208 B-Wing Fighter from “Return of the Jedi” was one of the largest and heaviest armed assault starfighters-bombers in the Rebel Alliance fleet. The name B-Wing derived by the ship’s resemblance of the lowercase letter “b”, as well as the moniker “blade-wing” when the B-Wing is engaged in attack mode resembled the shape of a sword. The B-Wing known as “crosses” was a difficult ship to fly due to its top-heavy unique shape. The B-Wing had two engine systems; Kyromaster engine with four thrusters, or JZ-5 fusial thrust engines. It has a highly adaptable design with modular hard points and other components. The weapon system is reconfigured more easily than other Alliance fighters and it carried an unusual payload for its size. Three ion cannons, two proton torpedo launchers, one laser cannon and two auto blasters. The rotating cockpit is independently stabilized to allow the pilot to coordinate in flight and attack maneuvers. The B-Wing equipped with remarkable firepower and sturdy deflector shields made it survivable during engagement, but it required an escort into battle. Designed to eventually replace the aging Y-Wing in the assault role, the B-Wing had several shortcomings. Most notably it was difficult to fly, lacked speed and agility, making it a susceptible target, therefore, never superseding the Y-Wing.

The Lego 6208 B-Wing Fighter contains 435 pieces and includes 2 minifigures.
