I liked the Conquest as a kid.
I didn't care for the Drangonfly.

Ya I always liked the Conquest as a kid. And as far as the yellow.....I liked it. It added distinction.
I will admit that the Skystriker IS the #1 iconic Joe jet.......just wondered what the love was for the Conquest is all. NSP |

I'm particular to the Skystriker (F-14 Tomcat) but the Conquest is nothing to sneeze at either.
I've always considered the Conquest a short-range/close-support fighter/attack jet. While the Skystriker was designed as a long-range intercepter-fighter. I just got my 1st Skystriker last year & plan on customizing it... Eventually...

i guess the Conquest isnt as cool cause the wings dont move, like the rattlers, skystrikers, hurricanes, and firebats.....

Skystriker never had the pleasure of owning one, but as for Conquest I skipped on this as a kid and as well the 25th and just restored a TRU Camo colored one the 1998 Camo dark green and light grey and the weapons and jets black and grey no YELLOW at all even better looking than that ugly camo blotched 2002 one.

Skystriker overall but I like the X-30. I had an X-30 growing up which has made me not want to buy one of the 25th ones (that and I'm still looking for an old box at my parents house that the vintage one might be in, argghhhhh!).
However, if they made a 25th Skystriker I would definitely pick one up because I never had that. My friend down the street did and he also had the Rattler which is why I bought one of those. That's been part of the fun with collecting the new line for me. Buying all the stuff you wanted but didn't have as a kid. All that said, what I really don't like is Hasbro's lame remarks about why they haven't or aren't making a Skystriker in the new line. Something to do with the old mold being destroyed or broken. Hmm, I thought it was 2009 and this was a plastic toy we were talking about. I didn't realize it was impossible to create a new mold that would have been an exact or close to duplicate. I guess we just don't have the technology to create such an intricate piece of machinery. |

The B.A.T. in your sig has yellow?
Maybe it's the yellow ordinance you don't like?
