Thanks Matt, appreciate it :)

Huh, now that is something I was unaware of. I thought they only released a red one and a battle-damaged variant. You mean the little Galoob Micro Machines, right Buzz, or are you talking about another line?

Those A-wings are from the newer Titanium series - I haven't gotten around to rechecking my older MicroMachines ones yet. The names are what is printed on the packagaing, but the colours I added for my own reference.

I think it's just this line of Micro Machines that is the topic at hand (with the original red-deco and battle-damaged versions) - http://www.m2museum.com/StarWars/StarWarsOriginal.htm

Ah, yes. Apologies for not making that clearer in my first post.

Ahh, cool. I should have realised. Thanks for clarifying, Buzz. :) Yes, those Titanium A-Wings were beautiful, and it was so cool to see them do a blue McQuarrie-colour scheme version. I very nearly got suckered into trying to collect all of that line when someone very kindly gave me some of the first wave. As I beheld their beauty in my clammy mitts the alarm bells were ringing in my head - new collection alert, new collection alert!!!!!!

I tend to see them as the same product line, sort-of like a "Series 1" and "Series 2". They are basically the same in terms of design, size, style, and even the same packagaing, just a different name by the new distributor. :)

Yeah, I chose (partly as a self defense mechanism ;)) to treat them as completely distinct. While I was all in on the MMs, I didn't collect Titaniums because they were so much bigger, metal instead of plastic and more expensive. I do regret passing on them now as there were a handful that I would have really liked, but they're none too cheap now.

Just noticed this thread and it reminded me of three unopened 'books' I have had on the shelf for quite a while. Glad I never opened them.

Just grabbed a couple of shots with the cellphone, so please excuse the poor photos, but I thought you may be interested.

Awesome Blaxmyth. I always loved those sets. Unfortunately I didn't have the hindsight to retain the packaging. They'd make beautiful display pieces now!
