I think the Skystriker definitely has a place in the 25th line, and filling that place with Conquests and Tiger Rats just doesn't do the trick. Tooling for a $25-$30 vehicle that we know will sell is likely more profitable than new tooling for a PIT that's quite expensive, especially knowing how the SW large vehicles (AT-TE, BMF) have gone on clearance. In the long run, it's much more profitable.
Except a newly tooled Skystriker wouldn't be $25-$30 dollars. That's the problem. It'd be $39.95 at a bare minimum, and based on the prices of the "larger vehicle" assortment that's coming in the Star Wars line, I'm betting closer to a $49.95 pricepoint. The Skystriker is bigger than the Rattler or Conquest by a fair margin, and you can bet that Hasbro would cram it with features to try to interest the kids, because otherwise the Joe team's corporate overlords aren't going to release the funds to make it.
