Now we know

The reason behind the dearth of Titanium vehicles in the recent Celebration IV has been answered. SSG hit the gold mine by getting an exclusive interview on the exhibition floor. Here's some of their notable conversation with Hasbro's people. SirStevesGuide.com: At your panel yesterday, there was nothing on Titanium Series 3-inch die cast vehicles, what happened here? Is there some sort of trouble with the line? Derryl DePriest: I honestly just ran out of time to prepare. If you notice, we don't even have the tent cards (the cardboard brand cards at the tops of each display case). But the 3-inch vehicles are going strong and will continue well into... forever, hopefully. We have lots of new models coming out. I just recently got Titanium under my group, previously it was done by a different group. But the line will be continuing on with 3-inch vehicles, with a mix of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica, and we're looking to get more Battlestar out there. To the fans at home: definitely, the line will keep going. We're even doing a survey about it here at our booth. SSG: Back to Titaniums, any thoughts about doing Titanium Series vehicle multipacks with diorama playset backgrounds a la Galactic Heroes battle packs? DD: The Titanium multipacks we had out before didn't seem to do well, I don't know if it was because they weren't all unique, only some unique, and we put patina ones in there - patina ones were not popular, they want the real thing. Maybe we'll relook at the concept, we'll think about that, the Galactic Heroes packs are pretty popular.
