I had originally seen this as a Star Wars press release from Hasbro (the company which makes all the Star Wars toys), but apparently, they are going to be making small 3 inch Battlestar ships as well!
If you check in the Wal-Mart or other toy retailer, there is a line of diecast ships called Titanium series. They sell for about $5 at Wal-Mart.
As part of their Star Wars press release, they said they will also be making the Cylon Raider and Colonial Viper and also a 3 3/4" diecast Cylon figure as well.
So, be on the lookout for these at your favorite store! And let us know if you find any. Buy some for me too!!

I just heard this:
"I got an e-mail back from Hasbro this morning. The BSG Titanium ships will be released in stores in June 2006. "
So, we'll have to wait a few more months before we might see these diecast ships...

Hate to be a downer,but,chances are it's going to be the new series merchandise. If it specifically says "Classic" BSG it'll be the new one because it's "hot" right now. I just checked the Hasbro website and there's nothing listed for BSG.

Nope, the original press release said Original 1978 Series Cylon Raider and Colonial Viper. They are also making the new series ships as well, but the original series is definitely in there too!

Good news! Just saw info about the Titanium ships release of the Classic series Viper!!! Only shipping at one to a case (which means they will be hard to find. If you see it, buy it fast!). Expect them in December at stores near you!!!!

Woo hoo!!! Just found two Classic series Titanium mini-ship Vipers at a Target!!!!!
I was worried that I would not be able to find these but I lucked out. They are cool little ships, but the wings are angled too far downward. The landing gear would have to be so tall it would really look funny!!!
But these little ships don't have landing gear so it's not a problem...keep your eyes open if you want one of these!

Thanks for the update! I was at Target night before last and didn't see them when I made a quick pass through the toy section, but I'll definitely be looking harder for them this weekend.

Got one! I stopped at Target this evening and found one Classic Colonial Viper and one Scar from the new series. The Scar is still on the rack, of course.
For $4.99, it's a pretty good representation of the original series Viper. Like Charybdis said, the wings are a bit steep, and the paint appears to be a little dark. Unfortunately, mine had a little grease or something similar on the tail. When I wiped it off, it took off a couple little spots of paint, so I'm crediting those to "battle damage." Since they are in such limited supply, I checked eBay and found quite a few, but they're generally going for around $10 plus shipping, so if you really want one and can't find it or don't want to bother looking, that may be an option.
Now, if they'll bring out the classic Raider....
