Discussion
Has there been a Star Wars license before? I can't think of any that I've seen (but I might not be old enough to remember back far enough). Hot Wheels has jumped on every other license - like Marvel - so I'm surprised it took this long to get something Star Wars related.
Sounds like we'll be seeing a lot more Star Wars cars this summer...
Mattel Vice President Jean Gomes says that in addition to a variety of Star Wars Hot Wheels, the lineup will include character-inspired originals like the Vader car (the Boba Fett car will be mine ... there has to be one), traditional cars wearing Star Wars decos, as well as a line of die-cast versions of the actual vehicles from the Star Wars universe. The full range will be shown at the Comic-Con Hot Wheels display.
How long before we see a Millennium Falcon Falcon XB? Ha!
Not that I won't buy them but the character cars look kind of goofy to me...at least in this bad, blurry photo. Curse my love of Star Wars, otherwise I'd probably skip them!

While not Hot Wheels, I do see that the USPS put out some hot rod stamps...look pretty sharp.

I especially love the lightsaber case, pretty sharp.
Bad Convention pics...but there are more Star Wars cars!

I hope they release it as a production car series at the same time!
