1980 Kenner Star Wars Die-Cast Y-Wing Fighter CAS 70

A rugged relic from the Rebel fleet! 🚀 The 1980 Kenner Star Wars Die-Cast Y-Wing Fighter, cataloged under y72.2 and graded CAS 70, is part of Kenner’s short-lived but highly collectible die-cast vehicle line.

Here’s what makes this piece stand out:

• 🛠️ Construction: Made of die-cast metal and high-impact plastic, with a removable red bomb and rotating cannon. The cockpit canopy is often prone to yellowing, so a clear one is a bonus.

• 📦 Packaging: Originally sold boxed, not carded—making it rarer than blister-pack ships. Box art featured stylized illustrations rather than film stills.

• Grading Breakdown:

  • CAS 70 overall: Indicates moderate shelf wear or paint loss.

  • Bubble 70 / Window 85 / Figure 80: Suggests the plastic canopy is in excellent shape, the figure (likely a molded pilot) is near mint, and the box may show edge wear or fading.
