The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Code 3 Collectibles (makers of the Skywalker Ranch fire truck replica) will launch their first series of high-end die-cast models inspired by the spaceships and vehicles of Star Wars.

Details on the new series will be announced mid-year, along with the launch of a special section of Code 3 Collectibles' web site showcasing the line at www.code3.net.

"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Lucasfilm on such an ambitious project," said Arnie Rubin, President of Code 3 Collectibles. "Our designers are in the process of crafting a series of models with a degree of intricate detail and authenticity that will make them truly worthy of the Star Wars name."

"Code 3 Collectibles is in a class of their own," said Howard Roffman, President of Lucas Licensing. "We're confident that their new Star Wars series will wow our collectors with the superior quality and authentic detail on which they've established their reputation."
