Kenner Die-Cast

Received a lot of small items in the mail this week including a die-cast Y-Wing that Kenner released soon after the first Star Wars movie. I was lucky to have gotten it in such good condition and including the oft-lost red bomb.

The Y-Wing joins my Star Destroyer, Cloud Car, and Millenium Falcon, as well as a Landspeeder, not pictured.

That makes about half of the vehicles released in this early line. Die-cast ships would return in the mid-90s in what would become Hasbro's Titanium line and Rawcliffe pewter pieces. Overseas, in the mid-00s, DeAgostini also released a series of 80 very detailed die-cast vehicles.
