My apologies, no offense was intended. Statement should have been "I
didn't like it".

Seriously, I think part of the problem was that the model lacked the appeal
of the newer model (is that better? ;-), after hearing so much about the
"New Metal" Titan, people around here were very disappointed in the new
product. It simply didn't look "Imperial" enough, especially compared to
the new Imperator. It didn't match people's expectations.

Added in to the fact that you could (I did) buy the old plastic sprues from
England for a whopping 5 pounds per sprew (10 pounds per titan & 1 weapon
sprew). Even at GW's prices, shipping and handling overseas, exchange on
the pound, etc... I believe I picked up 2.5 Titans (plastic) for the same
cost of (newer metal) one "official". Also, they still had to produce the
plastics to put into "Space Marine" (it was a key component to making the
sale for some people).

Anyone else notice there are no more titans (or gargants) in the new
system's box?
