List of Star Wars Action Fleet Vehicles: The Ultimate Guide

Galoob launched the Star Wars Action Fleet product line in 1995 following the success and acclaim of the Star Wars Micro Machines product line. The teeny tiny scale Star Wars Micro Machines playsets, which were first released in 1994, blossomed into one of the top-selling Star Wars toy lines of its time.

Endeavoring to capitalize on its own success and momentum, Galoob scaled up the sizing of Micro Machines a bit in order to create Action Fleet, a series of larger, detailed vehicles and creatures with tiny semi-posable figures. Though larger than the tiny scale Micro Machines line, the Action Fleet line remains smaller than 3.75 inch action figure scale. Action Fleet vehicles may also feature movable sections like an opening cockpit and folding wings. Their manageable size makes the vehicles fun to zoom overland or through the air!

When were Star Wars Action Fleet vehicles released?

Original Trilogy and Expanded Universe Line (1995 to 1998)

Galoob launched the original Action Fleet product line from 1995 to 1998. Although the majority of the vehicles take inspiration from the Star Wars Original Trilogy, the line includes a couple Expanded Universe vehicles as well. The E-Wing originates from Star Wars: Dark Empire and Virago is ship of Prince Xizor in Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire.

Episode I Line (1998 to 2000)

From 1998 to 2000, Galoob shifted attention to making ships and other vehicles from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Notably, toy giant Hasbro purchased Galoob in 1998 for $220 million dollars.

Hasbro Saga Line (2002 to 2003)

Hasbro re-released some of the original Action Fleet vehicles. The company also developed a few new vehicles from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones including the fan-favorite Republic Gunship. Unlike previous vehicles, none of the single pack vehicles feature movable figures. The themed multipack playsets, however, feature one or two posable figures.

Hasbro cancelled the Action Fleet line in 2003.

What’s the difference between Star Wars Micro Machines and Action Fleet?

Both product lines are very small scale versions of characters, vehicles, creatures, and more from Star Wars. Micro Machines sets use much smaller figure and vehicles than Action Fleet sets. Confusingly, Galoob first marketed the Action Fleet line as “Micro Machines Action Fleet”. The toy company likely wanted to cash in on the existing popularity of the Star Wars Micro Machines line. Later, the Action Fleet line dropped “Micro Machines” from its name, though.

Where to buy Star Wars Action Fleet sets

As of 2003, all Action Fleet sets are discontinued so you much rely on the secondhand market to find them. Although certain specific sets are hard to find, many sets from the product line are widely available. Online marketplace eBay offers a wide variety of secondhand Action Fleet products. Since the products are now retired and considered “vintage”, you can find some Action Fleet products on Etsy, too. (Yeah, that “vintage” bit makes me feel old, too!)

If you’re a Facebook user, you could check out Facebook Marketplace or various buy and sell Facebook Groups themed around Star Wars Collectibles or Star Wars Toys.

Finally, keep a sharp eye at your local garage sales and thrift stores. You could potentially snag a sweet deal on these discontinued products in person, although finding such deals are very hit or miss.

Future Star Wars Action Fleet Vehicles and Sets

Hasbro released the final Action Fleet vehicles in 2003. The bad news is Action Fleet appears to be gone for good. The good news is Jazwares makes the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron. Dubbed by fans as “Action Fleet 2.0”, Micro Galaxy Squadron boasts an assortment of similarly-scaled vehicles and small posable figures. Jazwares launched Micro Galaxy Squadron in 2022 and continues to release new waves of the vehicles into 2023 and beyond.
