I don't hate it.  I always liked the Y wing, a very cool concept that I never thought got enough play.

I found these images of the new Clone Wars y-wing on Scum, yesterday.
  I notice that diorama reference on the box art, again.

Look what Hasbro just sent us folks; (High Rez. images)

Armed with cannons, long-range missiles, torpedoes and bombs, the Y-wing bomber is one of the Republic’s primary combat vessels.

A gunner sitting in the bubble-domed turret can blast attacking ships approaching from behind, while the pilot can fire forward-mounted cannons and torpedoes at enemy vessels up ahead. Y-wing bombers see action from the first days of the Clone Wars and help destroy the deadly new Separatist vessel  Malevolence.

Blast into hyperdrive with this Republic combat vehicle replica! Take on enemy forces armed with firing proton torpedo launcher, hidden long-range missile launcher and droppable proton bomb accessories. Figures (sold separately) fit inside the opening canopy and turret.
