Its no secret that this Christmas, Star Wars will be all the rage. With the new movie set to debut on December 18th, and several toy manufacturers already in high gear getting ready for the event, more and more product are starting to become available to the retail trade.

In the case of DeAgostini, they’ve steadily made a diverse range of starships and vehicles for several years running. We’ve quietly watched the range grow, which now encompasses several dozen releases, spanning the first six feature-film releases. Happily, we’ve now learned that one of our distributors will be carrying the range, and they expect to take delivery of the bulk of the line in late March/ early April. Priced at only $23.98, each item is attractively packaged and highly detailed, and already commanding higher-than-release prices in the after market. We hope to have the entire series listed on our site by tomorrow, the 11th, and will keep our eyes open this weekend at Toy Fair to see if the manufacturer has more on display.
