Gotta love em.....the Star Wars Titanium mini ships.

These have been out since 2004 and started off as Walmart exclusives but are now to be found pretty much anywhere. For those of you familiar with these, they need no description but for those of you only starting to collect them, This guide may help.

 As far as I can tell, these are a rerelease from Galoob Micro Machines of the Star Wars Die Cast ships available a few years ago and relabeled Titanium and manufactured under licence from Hasbro.

 There are currently approx 50 different ships available and Hasbro are releasing more every month. It's fair to point out that the later ships are at least 50% repaints from ealier releases. For example there is a White TIE Fighter, A Grey TIE Fighter and the new Battle Damaged Dirty TIE Fighter and they are all from the same mould jut repainted. For completists, this can be a massive investment as some are even packaged slightly different. For example I have 2 Anakin Jedi Starfighters...one pointing up and one pointing down. I am a completist ..lol.

UPDATE 12/16/2006

NEW SHIPS ANNOUNCED FOR 2007 AS FOLLOWS:

Wave 1 2007 General Grievous Invisible Hand Cruiser
Wave 1 2007 At-Te
Wave 1 2007 Dewback With Stormtrooper
Wave 1 2007 Dagobah Swamp X-Wing With Swamp Goo Detail
Wave 1 2007 Royal Guard Red TIE Interceptor

This list is subject to change and there may be a few repackaged variants I may have missed. I currently own 53 of these and am still going.

 They usually retail for approx $5 so be weary of how much you pay for them on Ebay. The hardest one to find to date is the Convention Exclusive Vader's X1 Starfighter in Gold as it was at the Hasbro booth at the San Diago Comic Convention ONLY. Expect to pay around $20 for this one.

 And for those shipping con artists out there......this should cost NO MORE than $5 to ship anywhere in the states as they fit nicely in a flat rate box without being crushed.
