Issue 95 of the LEGO Star Wars magazine is starting to turn up on shelves in Europe, revealing the free gift that will follow May's Obi-Wan Kenobi minifigure.
The official LEGO Star Wars magazine has been coming through with some really top-tier characters lately, giving us rare and desirable minifigures of the Mandalorian Loyalist, Bo-Katan Kryze and a 212th Clone Trooper, to name just a few. Anticipation for each issue’s freebie has subsequently gone stratospheric, just in case the LEGO Group throws another must-have Star Wars bone our way.
There’s something of the sort in Issue 95, which gives us the same Obi-Wan Kenobi minifigure originally included in
Instagram user papas_legostarwars has published images of Issue 95 in hand, confirming that Issue 96 will include a free miniature Y-wing model. Built from 61 elements, the rebel starfighter has had plenty of representation in LEGO bricks to date – from regular playsets and Microfighters to existing mini models and even two separate Ultimate Collector Series sets.
This particular Y-wing could be well-timed, though, as a slight nod to a rumoured LEGO Star Wars summer 2023 set. 75365 Yavin IV Rebel Base is said to include a Microfighter-sized Y-wing in the box, which would be a bit bigger than this freebie – Microfighters typically have space for a minifigure – but if you want another model to bulk out the base, Issue 96 could be worth grabbing.
That’s if 75365 Yavin IV Rebel Base ever becomes a reality, of course. For the moment, it’s just a rumour – but Issue 96 of the LEGO Star Wars magazine will definitely include a Y-wing. The current issue of the LEGO Star Wars magazine in the UK comes with a tiny X-wing Starfighter, along with a bonus freebie (your mileage may vary on that one).
