Aug 11 2009Spoiled: Dad Makes Son Y-Wing Bunk Bed

Obviously vying for a coveted 'Father of the Year' award, some guy went and made his son a Y-Wing bunk bed and hangar themed bedroom. Impressive, guy, but what you don't know is that your son didn't want to sleep in a Y-Wing -- he wanted to sleep in a tauntaun! He was just too embarrassed to say so because he knew how much it meant for you to be able to drink beer in the garage and play with power tools. Son of the year? No, but I wouldn't put him up for adoption either. He's a keeper.
Hit the jump for several more shots of the ridiculousness.




This Kid Actually Sleeps in a Y-Wing [gizmodo]
Thanks to Cojo, who built his son a spaceship bunkbed that actually flies. PSSSHOOOOOW!

This ain't right. Up until right now I thought I had a pretty decent childhood. Parents never got divorced, I got to have whatever cereal I wanted for breakfast and nobody ever forgot my birthay. So yeah, I thought I had a decent childhood.
Now? Now I need therapy.
Thanks Geekologie writer - sending them to shrink since 1982.

This won't be so cool in 30 some odd years when your 40 some year old child is still sleeping in it.

18. Krys - August 11, 2009 9:18 PM
Hey, I'd totally bang a dude with a Y-Wing themed room or the man who made the bitchin room. HAWT!

A cross between a fighter and a bomber, the Y-wing formed the backbone of the Rebel Alliance starfighter fleet prior to the introduction of the X-wing. The workhorse Y-wing is larger, slower, and less maneuverable than the X-wing, and has difficulty against the more agile Imperial craft. However, it is extremely durable, and heavily armed with blasters, an ion cannon, and bombs, making it ideal for bombing and strafing runs against surface targets.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back DOwn where Max parked his ship inside a cave in an asteroid while he fixed it, and called a robot "professor".
21. ciao - August 11, 2009 10:26 PM
yeah, that looks very safe
22. freeyourmind00 - August 11, 2009 11:16 PM
too bad he doesn't have a nice TV to go underneath it... Then we would know he was REALLY spoiled.. what? he does? Ah sh!t.
23. freeyourmind00 - August 11, 2009 11:18 PM
At least he doesn't have a laptop too...

@ 5 did it have a gorilla in it !?
hmmm...did it ????????

huh? did you !????????
26. Lizzie - August 12, 2009 12:08 AM
why does everyone assume that stuff like this turns girls off?
I'm a 21 year old girl, and if a guy I'd dated had an awesome bed like this, it would get him a fast-track ticket to bone-land
27. Piddler - August 12, 2009 12:44 AM
Wait, isn't that a door that opens 'into' the room? How does it open with that Ywing in the way? I suspect magic... or even worse, robots.
28. Turtle - August 12, 2009 2:19 AM
Nice, however it looks like he could have put a bit more effort in to the deflector shields on this one. I give it a b minus.

42. Milkman - August 12, 2009 2:34 PM
Holy crap I guess my dad just didn't love me enough. That is so awesome. I could totally do the same at my place, but then I'd never get laid again.

46. ywingdad/builder - August 15, 2009 3:36 PM
As the builder of the Y wing room, I would like to squash the rumor that it's a fake... I assure you it is very real!! Our family has been amazed by the attention the room is getting and have laughed long and hard at some of the comments! Thanks for the kind words and the laughs! So here's some info: We have been in this house for 4 years but we waited for its completion for 2 1/2 years before that. IT IS MY SONS ROOM who is now 14 but we, (yes, he and I BOTH) have been planning it for almost 7 years!!! A Star Wars room was his idea (but the loft/ship bed was mine) and after considering the size and layout of the room we decided on a Y-wing. It took about a year to fully complete, (since my wife and I are both RN's it was weekend warrior building only). It was designed to allow for our sons friends to come over and have plenty of room to hang out/play video games. The room is 11x13 with 9 foot ceilings. The underbelly is 6 feet off the floor leaving about 2 1/2 feet above the bed. It was a lot of fun to do with the whole family including my wife assisting with the design. (Yes...I'm married!) To answer the question of why we are selling the house... we, like so many others have been affected by the economy and feel the need to downsize. Besides, we have lived the American dream and now would like to put our our time and energy into helping those who have lost everything in the economic crash! Our area of California has been especially hard hit and we know that there is so much more we could do to help others!!! So...thanks for the interest, you have made this Dad feel special and a teen boy feel like a star!!! God Bless!
47. Alex - August 17, 2009 7:23 AM
Hey, I don't mean to be a buzz kill... I love the room but shouldn't fire alarms have like at least a 1ft clearance in order to work properly???
48. omega57 - August 19, 2009 10:48 AM
That is kind of sad that you are selling the house with the rooms with it.
f@!@ing economy!
