About 2-3 years ago, Hasbro said they were absolutely, 100%, not going to make a AT-TE because it was too big, heavy, expensive, no one would pay that kind of money, etc, and now they have one. I wouldn't be surprised, if like the rest of this line, they were feeling things out with the Target Jets, and if they sell well, as the rest of the line has, they just may make a new one. Also, with the way Hasbro loves to throw repaint after repaint at us, if they were to make a Sky Striker, I'm sure they'd milk it for at least a Night Boomer, and possibly more repaints, until the cost of the new mold was paid for. Either way, I'd do things that were illegal in 48 states to get a new Sky Striker.

well i am pretty sure they had to remake the mold for the skyhawk and moccasin so i dont see why they wouldnt do it for the skystriker which is a all time favorite. i can see hasbro playing dumb like no where not making it just so we think its never going to get made and then BAM!!! just like that, we will be hearing about it on the tank, hasbro has new pictures of the upcoming skystriker!
this jet would not only be awsome for us joe collectors but if a kid seen a skystriker sitting in the store, they would be all over it. i think thats what drew in alot of us as kids was all the sweet vehicles gijoe offered. so i would think that we will see one down the road.

I really hope they do make it. I never had one as a kid. When I was younger, my Joe air force was the Dragonfly & 2 Skyhawks.

There's too much demand for there not to be.
I'd expect something next year for the movie launch. |

I would not be surprised if the Skystriker ended up being sold in the movie line, even if it does not show up in the movie. Maybe it can fit in the same size box as the Movie Night Raven.

the vehicle and figure sets have come with numerous images of vehicles and characters, that doesn't mean Hasbro intends on making them. the Awe Striker comes with a rocky terrain backdrop with explosions, that doesn't mean we are getting a playset of it. the CG sets come with them invading a base, that doesn't mean they are making the headquarters. |
