Well,,,, I wouldn't be spending my money on it.....it's got alot of wrong details and distorted detail as well.
I think I'll just stick to making my own.
(Shameless plug here..... www.starshipmodeler.com click on the Online Build section and read the Viper Build-up.)

December, though! I hate shopping in December! (I'm usually down to last minute online and catalog orders by then.
Happy to see them doing it, but 1 of 14 in a case, man will I have to be stalking the toy aisle at my SuperTarget. I hope Hasbro finds out they need more than that out.

kewl.
I do hope the Raider follows....followed by the Galactica and Basestar.
Although I do have to say, I still rather like my Konami BSG, Pegasus, and Basestar miniatures.
It will be interesting to see just how much design Hasbro would put on the capital ships. They did a decent job with the Star Wars capital ships.
BTW, I am hoping that Titanium series will release the Tantive IV (Princess Leia's ship from Ep IV).

Just saw a report over at Rebelscum.com about the new Star Wars Titaniums. I believe the rebel blockade runner is in the next wave...

I dunno... it really doesn't look very good. The Konami plastic versions kick this thing's butt for detail. Heck, the Konami versions kick the Joyride versions' butt for detail. Especially in the paint department. And it's smaller!
Hmmm... I wonder if I can modify my Mattel Viper Launch Station to really FLING this sucker and become a nasty metal projectile instead of the soft foam version? Looks about the same...

It'd probably do more damage.

I hope this version of the Colonial Viper is just the prototype. I have to check it out in-person to see if it looks any better.

It's probably easier to be more accurate with plastic than with die-cast metal.
Still...I'll probably pick one up too.
Now, bring on the Pegasus!

My Titanium wishlist is slowly getting made...I hope the line continues long enough to get them all.
From the New series I know they have the "Scar" Raider coming in a future wave so I am only really left hoping for the Pegasus, Blackbird and Cylon Basestar. Of course any other ships they make from the fleet or the Cylons is welcome! (Oh just thought of how cool a resurrection ship would be too).
From the Original series I am hopeful to see the Galactica, of course, as well as Raiders, Basestars, Pegasus and Landram.
My current collection consists of the Galactica Ultra, Colonial One, 3 Cylon Raiders, 4 Raptors, 4 MkVII Vipers and 4 MkII Vipers.
I know...I have a problem...

Heck I'll buy a tone of 'em in hopes that someone gets the message and starts making more TOS merch!

Yup the Galactica Ultra is the larger sized one. It is gorgeous but don't feel too jealous...I had to pay ebay prices ($40-$45 I think) to even get one. I have no patience for things I want and can't find. I have never seen one in any of my local stores so I ended up hitting ebay.
I actually wish it was even BIGGER...heh
