...then why are there skystrikers on the display box for the Target X-30 Conquest (underneath the Conquest is the top view of the aircraft carrier with a skystriker on the landing section of the carrier) for the Rattler, there is a rear shot of the skystriker and possibly others-I only had one view of the box. So the question is, will Hasbro put out the classic skystriker, cuz it sure looks like they still KNOW its part of the JOE-VERSE. I have a theory, I think they are bringing it back and I wouldnt doubt it if they are bringing back the FLAGG as well if sales keep as they are.

I think its probably a stock picture. Look at all the cool stuff they put on the 25th box sets that we havent seen, and probably never will.

How can it be a stock picture? Its all new artwork for an clear display, it's totally new. Ive never seen a top view like this in any of thier toys or artwork. It was created as a target exclusive with the transparent side to see the toy. No, my friend, this is new. They could have easily left it off or used a conquest in its place on the landing strip. Why also have it on the Rattler, that doesnt make sense unless its something they are hoping to put out as well. I can see them not putting out the FLAGG, its pricey and they, Hasbro, are going to eat the BMF and ATTE costs, but a classic skystriker makes alot of sense to amp up the Joe collectors and the kids. You dont put art on it like that unless you want folks to question and inquire and tease.
That's cold Polyphenus, probably true, but cold......jk:-) Im sure the Skystriker would cost more, but only by about 10$ or so. Why? Because if they keep it with all swing wing lever with the pop out wheels-it will cost more due to parts and putting it together. I wouldnt mind a simpler version with manual sync swing wing and flip down wheels would make so much more sense and save them in production costs. Anyways, you dont put stuff like that out there unless you are gauging interests and thinking about putting something out there later on. |

there is no way it will be a 100, most of the prices now are a 120-130% of what they were in the and 90s so at most it would be around 40 no way they charge a 100. i mean we are gettin a battle set from target for 50 and we get the mobat and bunch of other things

no, there could be numerous reasons, as I explained above, why they are doing it, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with marketing reasons, just as if the Skystriker does eventually get released it may not have any correlation to the fact that they put it on the box art. if you are determined to do so, you can connect random, unconnected dots to make any picture you want, that doesn't mean the dots are arranged purposefully to make that picture. |

I also saw a picture of the Cobra Moray in the water below the Rattler. Hasbro just put that out a couple of years ago with Beachhead and Flint at Toys R Us... Could we perhaps get that vehicle in its original crimson color...?
