My new Titanium Series Die-Cast Raider toy - couldn't resist! :P

There seems to be two releases of this toy:
ITEM #: 34859
and
ITEM #: 35211
(The one I have is #35211. Hasbro's site has images of both and they are identical. However the packaging in their image is different than my #35211. There must be a package change for the newer 35211 release for some strange reason - and so, a new part number?)

Box info:

CLASSIC CYLON RAIDER
Function: Heavy Fighter
Affiliation: Cylon Imperium
Weapons: Laser Torpedoes, Missiles
Operational: Space and Atmospheric Environments
Length: 45 Feet
Crew: 3 Cylon Centurions

Raiders are the primary assault vehicles of the Cylon Imperium. Deployed from immense Cylon Basestars, each raider is technically more than a match for the Colonial Viper, making up what it lacks in speed with superior armament and maneuverability. Making matters even worse for the human pilots of the Battlestar Galactica is the universal Cylon tactic of three-unit raider wings, making almost any engagement a three on one battle. The only advantage an outnumbered, outgunned human pilot has over the formidable raider is his innate talent for improvisation and abstract thinking.

The size is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches across. Extreme detail for such a small item. The advanced tools the model makers have these days gives detail in minor size that a model of say studio scale wasn't around 10 years ago is out standing.
