The Blockade Runner is one I just got at WM and I must say it's spiffy.  I think it's one of the first toys that actually captured the mid-section that is usually not on diagrams, or models of the ship because of production photo angles (even the CGI E3 ship is missing it).

Freaky little thing they caught and it improves the ship a lot.

Hasbrotoyshop has a bunch of the newer titanium ships available for the $4.99 pricepoint as of today. 

Checked today and the BSG ships are available to be ordered.  Bit of a pisser since they can't combine my orders so I'm getting dinged an additional $5 to ship three more ships (2 Vipers) but at least I have them and don't have to worry about them now.

Found the Royal Guard TIE Interceptor, Dewback, Dagobah X-Wing, AT-TE and Invisible Hand at a TRU this morning.  Paint jobs are absolute **** on the Interceptor and Dewback, of the several that I saw.  Real sloppy.  It's bad enough to have to stomach all the repaints, but when they don't even repaint the repaints well...  :-\

I guess that'll make it easier for me to pass on those - I don't think I want any of them anyway.  :-\

'Just got back from Lancaster TRU. They had 1 Dagobah X-wing, 2 Dewbacks, 2 AT-TEs and 3 Invisble hands, so I picked up one of each. They're still $4.99 there.

A buddy just e-mailed saying that he went there earlier and picked me up a red INT. Whew!

Are there any in this newer wave that are "chase" status?  I hope not, after passing on all the extras (sorry Jon, I tried calling you).

There should not be any "chase" ships in 2007 Wave 1:

The current Wave 1 case (according to EE and other on-line sources) is packed like this:

3x Invisible Hand Cruiser
3x Dewback with Stormtroooper
2x AT-TE
2x Dagobah X-Wing Fighter
2x Royal Guard TIE Interceptor

Our first superwalmart just opened, an hour west of the city and they had new titaniums out.  Naturally they were the ones that I'd just ordered from SWS.com ::)  minus the BSG stuff of course.  Still, I was happy to see I passed on the Sith Speeder - none of those speeder bikes have been down very well (paint apps).

Found this case today at TRU in Kansas City. Only snagged the AT-TE.

Hokay, next dumb question:  Is that a fourth Viper paint job/sculpt in that wave?  I know the Cylon ship is brand new, but it sure seems like we're looking at yet another Viper.  Also does that Galactica differ from any previous releases?  Is it the classic version?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to duplicate my HTS.com luck with the new titaniums, but again I may be requesting help with the Viper/Raider ships from BSG from you kind folks.  I did get shipping confirmation on all the titaniums I ordered last week, so very good news there in being able to pick up the Viper and Scar.  Whoo-hoo!

I can't tell if the Viper is a repaint or not as I seem to be colorblind at the present moment, though it does seem to have a bit more distress.  The Galactica is all new to the 3" Titanium line, but was released as an Ultra.

I am 98% sure that the Viper in the 2007 Wave 2 case is the same as the Classic Viper from 2006 Wave 15.

Also, the Battlestar there is Pegasus, not Galactica.  It is a new ship as far as I know.

I dunno Jeff, that Viper looks a lot whiter than the original release.  The style is similar to the first release but the coloration is the same as the second.  I'm calling it Viper #4 for the time being.

As for Pegasus (thank you) I think you're right because we already have Galactica (rear portion of the ship is different).  Or at least one of the Battlestars and it's clearly different from that one.

I think the Sail Barge is the only other thing I want from that pic.
