12-Pack: Hot Wheels Star Wars Die Cast Ships
Our Take
- They’re little replicas of Star Wars ships, unless “replicas” isn’t the right word for something that never actually existed- Includes fan favorites like the Millennium Falcon and Slave 1, three X-Wings, and fan indifferents like the Mandalorian- We make fun of it, but the Mandalorian is selling individually for the most of any of them on Amazon- Theyre small; the Millennium Falcon is the largest and measures 2" x 4" x 5" - Model: None (You don’t need to see its identification number. These are the ship replicas you’re looking for.)
They Die (Cast)
On May The Fourth of this year, when we last offered these Star Wars ships, we sold roughly a gajillion of them. Will they sell nearly as well today? Or was that demand driven by the marketing hype surrounding May The Fourth?Im not affected by advertising and marketing, you may say, I dont know why companies waste billions of dollars on it.But thats what everybody says, and if it didnt work companies (generally) wouldnt do it. So chances are todays sale wont perform as last time, when we were drafting off that most commercial of holidays.That is Unless you arent one of those sheep who follows every commercial command and are willing to show your dedication to the Star Wars franchise and its spacecraft even when its hype is on the ebb.But maybe you are in the thrall of marketing. Maybe you buy Dove chocolates on Valentines Day, Coronas on Cinco de Mayo, and Cubs merchandise only after they win. Maybe youre a fair-weather Star Wars fan. We donno.Theres only one way to prove us wrong. Yes, it just so happens to fill our coffers, but buying these collectible Star Wars figurines is the only way to demonstrate that you see through the illusion of capitalism and into the gross skull heads of its overlords …https://media4.giphy.com/media/kt9mZm3tqB4CA/giphy.gifOr you can just buy these ships cuz theyre neat.
