BATLESTAR GALACTICA TITANIUM TOYS - FANS REVIEW

First I think it is important for fans to know where they can find these great pieces. Strangely enough, Hasbro has not advertised in any way that I have been able to find about the Battlestar Titanium line. These can be found scattered here and there mixed in with the Star Wars line Titanium series. I have had my best luck at Wal-Mart and K-Mart. But even though, they are virtually impossible to find, so fans may want to check Ebay, there are a few on there, but expect to pay double the retail price. Retail is about $4.95 plus taxe. The Galactica is breath taking, even at its very small size . And as there seems to be no plans of anyone making a large scale one, such as they did with the original series, this is a must have for the true collector. And if you decide to open it, it is made out of die-cast, so it is very durable. I would have to say my favorite is the Mark VII. The Galactica is cool, but come on, this is the Mark VII for crying out loud. This has more detail as it is a larger scale, and who is to stop us from putting together a whole squadron of them to play with when are wives are not looking. The Cylon Raider is very finely detailed as well, however I'm not sure where they got the idea to make it purple. Unless I got an interesting variant, the 4 I found were all that color. Along with that, there is no red eye sensor painted in, so I guess this may be a "not in flight" model. But still, it looks great, and no Mark VII is complete without it. Hopefully we can get some word on whether there wil be more down the line. If not, we can always buy extras and make a custom Pegasus out of the Galactica, and I am still fighting the urge from opening one of my Raiders and taking a dremil tool to it and some paint. I gotta have my Scar Raider. Come on Hasbro, we're waiting.

Happy hunting fellow Battlestar fans, "So say we all". Jorge Guzman, Dickinson, ND
