I picked up a few Star Wars Hot Wheels at Target today. I got the Millennium Falcon, Snowspeeder, Y-wing and Slave I. They are about the same size as the Titanium/Die Cast series, and are also made of metal but just a bit lighter.
A few gripes I have:
- No real detail or weathering. The ships are a basic color, then maybe two or three colors painted on.
- Lack of moveable features. The only moveable feature on the four I bought is the sensor dish on the Falcon. The Snowspeeder is also missing the harpoon gun.
- The stands are kind of goofy. They're designed to put your finger in. I would have preferred a stand similar to the Titanium/Die Cast vehicles.
- So far.. where's the X-wing, or even a TIE Fighter for that matter? Weird.
I don't mind them really - for now, although that could change. I'm a bit on the fence with them. I wish they had an X-wing though, that's a bit odd.
