I'm perplexed...why TWO lines of die-cast metal ships at retail?

Because two different companies are putting them out.

Mattel under the Hot Wheels brand had the rights to do branded Hot Wheel cars and did the "finger flyer" series of ships.

Hasbro, having the master license for Star Wars, brought back their Titanium and Micro Machine lines.

Hey, it's nice to have some choices. Plus you can even mix the three to get some semblance of scale; the Hot Wheel Ghost, the Titanium Falcon*, and the Micro Machine Outrider are all pretty close to being in proper scale with each other.

*Let's face it, the Falcon has more scale issues then Transformers in the fiction and always has. While the Titanium is too large for the official dimensions against the other two, it actually doesn't look out of place and the cockpits are all of similar size, which they should be.
