Not as large (expensive) as a skystriker, and it doesn't need any retooling.

Honestly the Skystriker isn't that much bigger. The Skystriker and PTE/Elite Operations F/A-18 at TRU is around the same size as the Skystriker, a bit longer, and $20. All the retooling for the Skystriker would consist of making the vertical stabilizers of harder plastic, or even retooling the connection points, and a smaller backpack peg on the seats.

Oh That Is Sweet I Hope We Do Get The Firebat And Hope To See A Rattler Too .

Last week we saw a listing for a Firebat along with the SHARC, now that we have seen the SHARC, I think the listing for the Firebat is legit! Also, all the Rattler needs is retooling in the front and back cockpits, I think.
Also, its to our benefit that the Conquest is in grey, it might look nice in white, but it might also be prone to yellowing, which would SUCK!
Also, some tidbits for you guys. Ace actually
did have his own conquest in 99, the TRU reissue in green camo. I wanted a Conquest in 88(saw it in the Philippines, mom wouldn't buy it for me!), and didn't get one till 99, or late 98(it was Xmas break and it was out around that time), and it was the Ace version. I will GLADLY buy the new one, I love the original colors! It is a very durable toy, and one of the most original G.I. Joe planes ever conceived(influenced by the design of the Grumman X-29, rather than being built around an existing plane, like the Night Raven, Skystriker, Thunderwing, and Ghoststriker).
