Titanium Die-Casts

Does anyone collect these or own any? If you don’t know what they are they are titanium die-casts by hasbro of certain material including Star Wars and BSG.

I own a Slave 1. Will try to get a picture eventually up on the web (I lost the cable to hook my digital camera to my computer.)

You talking about the Micro Machines size ones? If so, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I wasn’t sure if they were Ti, though.

They were limited edition releases done in relatively small quantities (around 5000 or so I think). If I remember correctly, the order forms to mail-order them came inside the boxes of larger products. I have one of the Diecast Millennium Falcons. It’s buried out in the garage somewhere, I think.

I’ve got the Super Star Destroyer, Scar, a BSG78 Cylon Raider, two BSG78 Vipers, a Mk VII Viper, and Pegasus.

Show off! :smiley:

Seriously … well eventually i am going to get one of the larger die-casts of Galactica … its going to be sweet.

If you stake out the collectible section at Target a few times a month you’re probably going to be able to snag yourself a few of the BSG titaniums. There aren’t a lot in each store, but they are there. I’ve got the big Galactica (which was mis-priced at $8.00 !!), three Scar raiders, a regular Raider, the two Viper models, the Raptor, and Colonial One. They look very nice in the display cabinet next to my wife’s lighthouse collection. I stuck an old Princess Lea 3" figure in there too, she is standing behind one of the lighthouses and looks like the attack of the 50 foot woman !! I am still looking for the Peggy though.

I believe the Peggy was just put out not to long ago … like around comic-con in SD this year. I might be wrong but I do know that at that comic-con they did show off new die-casts of black BSG models

I have the Large BSG, Reg BSG, Black MKII, Reg MKII, 78 MKII, Reg MKVII, Grey MKVII, Pegasus, Scar, Reg Raider, 78 Raider, colonial 1 and Raptor. Here is a link to my Docking Bay 94 to see my collection. My collection is mainly Star Wars will a shelf of BSG.

I only have Colonial One. :frowning:

If you have a Wal-Mart, ShopKo, Target, or TRU near by I still see them every ones and a while.

The only one I think I may never see in person is the Cylon Centrion. I want one so bad.:frowning: I just can pony up the money to my it off ebay or EE.

Good Hunting

I’ve been haunting the Target stores around me hoping to run across these, but I have yet to find 'em. Have any of you had better luck recently?

Some areas have people that show up when the store opens, make a straight line for the toys, then buy up the “rare” stuff to put straight on e-bay. There’s been some problems with them at the local TRU.

(Of course, I’ve been at the a Meijer’s at 1 am during the restock looking for a batgirl…)

If some or all of your Target pegs are out of Titanium star wars toys take a toy or the label to the price checker. If it says there are more in stock in the back ask an employee (nicely) if they could get more out of the back. Some employees are cool 80% of the time, others act like if they got more out of the back alarms would sound.:frowning:

I haven’t looked for new ones because I have one of each. Next time I’m on a toy run I’ll let you know if I find any.

Classic Galactica sweet!

These are sick hard to find. I have the Big Galactica, a regular Galactica, Pegasus, Cylon Raider, Scar, Stealth Viper, and Viper Mark II. I’m still hoping and searching for a Mark VII and a classic raider, but so far, it’s not been easy.

Fry’s carries them as well. They are usually in the area where you stand to check out mixed in with the impulse buy stuff, you know, by the chocolate, Twizzlers and Flowbees.

Its hard to pass up the opportunity to pick up a flowbee… I’ve got 20 of them now. including last year’s special red, white and blue fourth of July edition…

I’ve never even SEEN the big Galactica!!! I’m so jealous! The only Titanium die-cast vehicle I have is the new Galactica, though that’s more to do with tightening my budget than not liking these things, which are very cool. I kept waiting to get a hold of the big Galactica (along with the Millennium Falcon that came in that wave) but they never made it to stores around me (or, more likely, they got snapped up immediately, perhaps even before leaving the stock room).

Check your local Ross, TJ Maxx, or Tuesday Morning. I have heard of the Big Galactica coming to them.
