Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, some survivors in a war between two factions set out across the stars to find the speaker of a message they saw crawl across space. It was this message which started the entire conflict between these two sides, in the first place: "It is a period of civil war." After crossing vast reaches of space, on a voyage lasting thousands of years, the survivors reached our planet. However, due to a terrible miscalculation in scale, they all fit in the palms of our hands. We quickly took them apart, copied them, and now offer 'em to you as Star Wars Metal Earth Model Kits.

Each of the Star Wars Metal Earth Model Kits comes with two sheets of laser cut parts. Carefully pop them out and follow the instructions on your journey of inserting tabs into slots and the like. Eventually, you will have a metal marvel straight from Star Wars. These are some of the best gifts any fans of Star Wars can get, and that's why you owe it to yourself to make sure a full set of Star Wars Metal Earth Model Kits is assembled and sitting on your desk. They are elegant models for a more civilized fan!

Be ready to have a-lot of patience in building these ; nott to mention metal paper cuts...They are very detailed and bend quite easily...Very fragile after assembly...Butt yeah they are awesome...

I like the Metal Earth Star War X Wing most

I have a half- completed destroyer droid laying on my desk. Was given it as a x-mas present, and had to move while part-way through constructing it. In the three yeas since the move, I still haven't found the rest of the pieces to complete the model.

They are pretty cool, though. I keep wanting to pick up more, then I realize I could spend that money on playable mini's and do that, instead.

Thinking these could be modded to replace cardboard debris obstacles
