Per the Shop at Home catalog, and the official reference at
http://www.starwars.com/vehicles/y-wing/

I've changed "Y-Wing" to "Y-wing"

"TIE Fighter" / "TIE fighter" is tougher to gauge, as both
www.starwars.com and the S@H catalog seem to have inconsistencies here.
It almost seems that for singular, the proper usage is "TIE Fighter",
and plural is "TIE fighters".

However, even www.starwars.com uses "TIE Fighter" as the title, then
"TIE fighter" in text.  I let S@H be the final word on that one.

(...) Ahh, good work! (...) Hmm, probably because when it's singular it's most apt to appear in a title, as in "TIE Fighter" being the name, whereas when it's plural it's most apt to appear as an adjective-noun pair? (...) Okie dokie. Good work! (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) What about X-wing? I don't have a relevant S@H catalog to check, but (URL) is pretty clear. Steve (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
