Price:: $4
Retailer:: Dollarama

Dollarama is carrying a new batch of Star Wars ships. I saw these months ago but I could find a very limited number. Now they have a different batch in, selection is YMMV.
Unlike the Star Wars cars that Dollarama also sells, these are mini ships with a small clear plastic display stand (Flight Navigator) to place them on. The detail is OK, and I've seen these for $10 at Toys R Us. $4 is an OK price to me, just good luck finding the cool ones like the Millenium Falcon. The one in front of Vaughan Mills had one left.

I've seen the Millenium Falcon, Y-Wing, First Order Star Destroyer, two kinds of First Order Tie Fighters, Rey's ship, Poe Daemeron's X-Wing, Clone Trooper ship, and a bunch more

Here's an example of the Hot Wheels site:

c'mon get happy!

it's designed to put your finger through the "loop" of the stand...for whatever reason they thought that would be fun for kids

I checked out my dollarama, they have some star wars hot wheels for $4 but they're actually car looking toys with r2d2 and chopper heads sticking out of them

C'mon, where's your imagination?

It's so you can pretend you're flying an X wing.

The swoosh factor would've been good enough even without those awkward looking weird finger holders.

I found the two versions of Daniel and Kobra Kai kid, but no Miyagi yet...
I also found a McFarlane Assassin's Creed figure and Dr. McCoy figure from Star Trek. Oh and a lot more ships since last time, they refilled their shelves it seems.

c'mon get happy!

These were actually $3 and they just raised the price in the last couple of weeks. I remember getting a bunch since they were less than 50% what others were charging.
Now with other stores clearing them out, the $4 price doesn't seem as hot. The detail is actually pretty good, but keep in mind it's only about 1/2 die cast and the rest plastic.

If you look at the sticker you can see the old price underneath.

I don't downvote. Why? Karma.

Noticed a bunch of these at the store on Wellington Rd South in London today. Did not see a millennium falcon but I did see y wing, Poe's x wing, first order destroyer, first order tie fighter, plus a couple others. I believe they were $4.
