I opened my ghost hawk and sting raider and noticed that they were larger than the origional vehicles. In fact the Ghost Hawk has a thruster, removiable side pannel, and pegs for rockets to go on the tail fin. This got me thinking that Hasbro could re-due the Skystriker and flagg if they wanted to. Think about it they claim the molds were damaged or lost for those two vehicles. They spent the time and effort on two smaller not as important vehicles in all of gijoe toys. Hasbro why are you keeping us from having two of your most iconic vehicles? I would be satisified if they were just smaller in scale. Does anyone feel the same?

The cost of making molds for these two new vehicles cannot even APPROACH the cost of making the molds for a Flagg. Jeez.

um, you do understand the difference between remaking something with a $15 MSRP and things that would be $40-50 and $300, right?

Flagg = No
Terror Drome = No Defiant = No Skystriker = Yes Night Raven = Yes Tomahawk = Yes Dragonfly = Yes Mamba = Yes Other retooled medium-sized Joe vehicles = Yes Hasbro just needs to believe there will be enough demand to recoup their costs... and be able to convince retailers they'll sell. There's where the movie/Resolute come in... |

They could if they wanted too. Instead of a 7 ft flagg how about a 5 ft flagg? It dosen't have to be remade to the same scale look close at the Ghost Hawk. I won't stop collecting Joe's but I really would like it if they would put out some vehicles vehicles that we all enjoyed back in the 80's

Not trying to be a nay sayer, but if they did a Flagg even on a smaller scale it would probably cost a pretty penny. And if they remake a Flagg and its less than seven feet long, I bet alot of people would eat their words and not be willing to spend say $250 on a five foot long Flagg. Everyone would want that iconic 7 1/2 foot long playset, not a smaller stand in. Not trying to be a jerk, just throwin my 2 cents out there.
