Not only that, but they all fit inside. You can even cram a figure up inside the front wheel well. Not that there's a need to do so, but it's good to know.

The sticker quality does suck. Half of mine want to peel up already and they certainly don't look that awesome on the Rattler. I spread my out a little instead of being dedicated to the sticker sheet and it doesn't look that bad for placement. The AWE is still the worst for numbering of stickers to add.
The landing gear on the Rattler is complete crap. They keep trying to cave in instead of sticking firm and the flimsy cheap plastic used already seems to be warping a little in different areas like the landing gear & wings. I actually have the Rattler sitting on two foam blocks since its fallen over twice. |

I agree the stickers are not the best. How ever back in 1986 the stickers were not that good either so it is only fitting that Hasbro would try to make it as close as possible as the original with crappy stickers lol. I don't plan to open mine but if I do, I'll be buying another set of Conquest stickers from Ruben. Then again I did order four sets of Conquest stickers from Ruben already, I might spend the extra money and give Cobra Stickers a try to see how the measure up to Ruben's.

Hey, I appreciate everyone's viewpoints. It'll really make me think if these are worth my money when I find them. It's too bad that these seem so cheap, for the price bein' paid.

I love the Rattler - just wish the color would have been closer to the original - and the decals could have been better. I think at this point the Rattler is my favorite vehicle.

They're "paper" instead of the heavier plastic stickers of the last vehicles. I think my only complaint is that excess material tends to stand out on the dark blue[purple] of the Rattler. This is a problem given the number of stickers, look at the Cobra Insignia on the wing... The Conquest looks fine decked out.
The plastic does seems a little oily... but I can live with it. For what they are I like them. but no one would say why lol The paper stickers, werent the old joe toys paper stickers too? I remember my jets being paper stickers. |

I'm just thankful Hasbro made these. Think about it, next year we are getting movie crap like the H3 hummer all decked out, and probably some kind of crappy jeep too.
The fact is, we asked for more vehicles, they gave us more vehicles. One which is a fan favorite. PLUS trying to get a vintage Rattler int he condition these are in for the price is impossible. If people keep complaining about the little needless things, Hasbro will just say screw it and not make anything else for the line. |

Or they could take this as feedback and improve on the models when they do a mass release of the vehicles. I'd re-purchase the planes again easily if they'd change the cheap plastic used for the Rattler back to something closer to the original's harder/stronger material and glossy finish.
