Titanium Series - 3" DieCast Vehicle Line!

[thelaw]

Hey guys.  I'm new to the forums (collecting SW again since Micro Machines), but I just wanted to let you know I went to C-IV and spoke to the Hasbro reps (Darryl Depriest) about Titanium. They were light on specifics, but here it is...

3-inch line: 30 new sculpts between Fall '07 and '08.  No mention of Stargate, but BSG is included.  The desperation was because they have heard the fans.  They were caught completely off-guard by the runaway success of the line, which is why we've seen so many repaints (they wanted more product out fast).  No further details on what we will see or how the division between SW and BSG, but we'll possibly see images of the first of these new sculpts at SDCC.

6-inch line: Standard answer: Not quite dead.  Hasbro is still looking at ways to continue this and/or the Action Fleet line.  They know there is an audience.

Titanium figures: EE is trying to buy enough of the Cylon Centurion wave to pick it up as an exclusive.  Looks like EE is really trying to bring us these last few.

Sure to be more revealed at SDCC

I saw a Tatooine X-Wing Fighter the other day and it looked horrible.  The green plant was just painted on the ship.  I was hoping it would have been like the full size ship with the plastic green wrapped on the X-Wing, not paint!

I asked the Hasbro reps at C4 for some news on upcoming BSG titanium's beyond the viper repaints. They were tight lipped.

Originally reported at comic-con.org, it looks like HasbroToyShop will have a 3 pack BSG exclusive at 2007 Comic Con.

How unexciting...thanks for the heads up King!

So are all of those (i.e. the three pack for SDCC) just straight re-issues?  Sorry for asking, but all my stuff is boxed up.  If so, I don't collect packaging so I won't be needing that.

[Darth Slothus]

Oh well. I guess I'll be saving some money and will only have to try and obtain one of the BSG set.

I picked up an Obi-Wan JSF battle damaged repaint titanium this afternoon as WM.  It has a lot more silver spots on the front of the ship than what I've seen on pics of the wave.  This is the first titanium I've picked up from the new set that includes V-Wing. The only other one I've seen is the ghostly white clone turbo tank which was once and I didn't pick it up because the carded wasn't that great.  Where are these guys?  I also got an opener Pegasus via a trade.

Classic Cylone Raider is available at hasbrotoyshop.com 

Amazingly enough, they actually put a limit of 2 per order.  I expect you can go back and order multiple times if you want but at least they are there for the moment.

As they were packed one to a case, I can understand this.
