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 gepletists, 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 gepletist ..lol.
The current list of available Titanium ships available and upgeing is as follows:
Darth Vader x1 Starfighter GOLDMillennium Falcon (Clean)X-WingTie Fighter (Grey)Slave I (ESB)Droid Tri Fighter (Clean)A-Wing (Red)Y-Wing (Yellow)SnowspeederAt-RtStar DestroyerJedi Starfighter (Yellow)Republic GunshipNaboo Fighter (Yellow)ARC-170Tie BomberSwamp SpeederLandspeederRepublic Attack CruiserSlave I (Jango's)Death StarVulture DroidWhite Tie Fighter (Limited edition)Clone Turbo TankSpeeder Bike (W/ Biker Scout)Republic Gunship (Animated)Vader's Tie X1 FighterAt-At WalkerImperial Shuttle (2 packaged variants..one facing forward, one facing left)Anakin's Jedi Fighter (Green, pointing down in pack)Anakin Jedi Fighter (Green Pack Variant pointing up)Sith InfiltratorObi Wan's Jedi FighterBattle Ravaged Millennium Falcon (Repaint)Trade Federation AATWookie FlyerNaboo Royal StarshipSilver Slave I (Ultimate Galactic Hunt..a bit of a misnomer as it has nothing to do with this offer but is stickered anyway)Speeder Bike (W/ Luke Sywalker on Endor)Republic CruiserEP III Milennium Falcon (Repainted)A-Wing (Blue)SandcrawlerExecutorB-WingJedi Starfighter (Mace Windu) PurpleSpeeder Bike (W/ Leia Organa on Endor)TIE Interceptor (I own a package mistake of this one also where the body was assembled backwards)DIRTY TIE Fighter (Battle Damaged Repaint)DIRTY Swamp Speeder (W/ New Drivers)DIRTY Droid TRI Fighter (Battle damaged repaint)(Red) Y-WingNaboo Fighter (Blue) (Nov 06 Estimated Release)DIRTY TIE Bomber (Repaint) (Nov 06 Estimated Release)Republic Gunship Clone Wars (gemand Repaint) (Nov 06 Estimated Release)Snowspeeder Vintage Redeco (Nov 06 Estimated Release)Wedge's X-Wing (Nov 06 Estimated Release)Jango Fetts Slave I Battle Damaged (Dec 06 Estimated Release)Star Destroyer Redeco (Dec 06 Estimated Release)ARC 170 Clone Wars (Repaint) (Dec 06 Estimated Release)Clone Wars Anakin's Modified Starfighter (Dec 06 Estimated Release)General Grievous Starfighter (Dec 06 Estimated Release)AT-AT Endor Deco (Dec 06 Estimated Release)Speeder Bike (W/ Ewok) (Dec 06 Estimated Release)Senator Amidala's Skiff (Dec 06 Estimated Release)AT-ST (Endor?)

UPDATE 12/16/2006
NEW SHIPS ANNOUNCED FOR 2007 AS FOLLOWS:
Wave 1 2007 General Grievous Invisible Hand CruiserWave 1 2007 At-TeWave 1 2007 Dewback With StormtrooperWave 1 2007 Dagobah Swamp X-Wing With Swamp Goo DetailWave 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 okay. 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 geic 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.
Please click YES if this guide helped you at all. Best wishes.
