Description
The Incom T-65 X-wing Fighter was the primary all-purpose starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and its successor governments. Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance, it was a favorite with Rebel and New Republic pilots. Possessing deflector shields, a hyperdrive, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and a complement of proton torpedoes, the X-wing allowed the Rebellion to launch raids in Imperial space with improved odds of a successful mission.
For the launch of Star Wars Carships, Hot Wheels decided to built a 1:1 scale X-wing Fighter carship. This car was for display at the San Diego Comic-Con and Hot Wheels even allowed a select few to sit inside.
Accompanying the launch of the Carships was a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive 4-Pack. This SDCC set was a Hot Wheels style diorama that recreated the famous "Trench Run" scene from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). This 4-car set featured the X-wing Fighter outrunning three TIE Fighters with the one in the middle being a special Darth Vader TIE Fighter casting. This set is full of lights and sounds. It retailed for US$50 at the show, with a select few being sold on HotWheelsCollectors.com after the show for the same price.
