The Star Wars Battling Fighters Set is a slot car set that re-creates the Death Star “Trench Run” from the final moments of Star Wars: Episode IV. Oh yes. This is awesome.
One driver pilots Luke Skywalker’s “Red Five” X-Wing and another is chasing in Darth Vader’s TIE fighter. The ships are slightly wider than the track, so it will take real skill to maneuver. LEDs in the ships light up when racing and the 12-foot figure-eight track features glow-in the-dark striping for nighttime runs.
This is the slot car set that re-creates the thrilling Death Star “Trench Run” from the final moments of Star Wars: Episode IV. With one driver piloting Luke Skywalker’s “Red Five” X-Wing and another giving chase in Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced fighter, this set challenges combatants with ships that are slightly wider than the track. If Vader catches up to Luke, the Rebels’ new hope will be nudged off the track – unless the young Jedi can send the Sith Lord spinning into space first. Integral LEDs in the ships light up when racing, and the 12-foot figure-eight track bears glow-in the-dark striping for nighttime runs.
A must have for Star Wars fans. It is only $69.95 (regularly $99.95) from Hammacher Schlemmer.
