Mattel’s collaboration with Lucasfilm to create diecast vehicles with roots in a galaxy far, far away dates back to 2014, and without a doubt the major success has been the line of Hot Wheels STAR WARS Character Cars (view the checklist here). Now comes the next chapter, with the summer 2016 SDCC debut of Hot Wheels STAR WARS Carships! Launched with the release of an exclusive set for SDCC, more Carships have been racing into retailers and flying off the pegs. For the spring of 2017, new packaging featuring the STAR WARS 40th Anniversary branding began hitting stores.

Inspired by one of the most iconic scenes from the Star Wars universe, the set features the Death Star at the center of a web of intertwining track that allows Carships to simulate flight! Kids can launch Carships one at a time into the set using a joystick launcher that thrusts the vehicles into a circular flight pattern around the Death Star with dizzying speed and occasional collisions. Time it right and the Death Star will explode. This motorized, boosted set includes 2x Carships, the X-wing Carship and TIE Fighter Carship. Requires 4x “D” batteries (not included).
