I'm not 100% sure, since now it gives people the option to pick one line over the other, it's almost like Star Wars gave Mattel permission to make Hot Wheels for them including the ships and then Hasbro was like "hey wait we can still make the ships too." It's like there's some strange in-fighting at the Star Wars marketing team.

I feel like Hot Wheels won this one, I was in store and grabbed the Millenium Falcon, TIE fighter, and Slave-1 from both lines to compare and the Hot Wheels were both bigger and had slightly more sculpted detail (probably because they're bigger). Both lines have fairly equal levels of good paint apps but when they cost the same and one is larger then I lean to the line with larger ships. The one thing I noticed (and I don't even know that they all have this) is that the Titanium Slave-1 has a clear plastic cockpit window whereas the Hot Wheels is just painted black since it's all one body piece. The only other factor is the packaging, while I do like the simple appeal of the black and red Titanium packaging I did note that some of the vehicles are partially hidden by its design whereas the Hot Wheels are sitting in a clear blister card bubble so you can see it all. Each line has its good and its not as good qualities but for a few small reasons I'm gonna say that I prefer the Hot Wheels ships.
