I can dig that, but I've never been into sub-groups and I just don't like toys all over the goddamned place (or anything else, for that matter). I can't see having two Skystrikers on a shelf...I'm weird that way. Besides, if I start justifying owning multiples, it just opens the door to a slippery slope where I'll eventually end up in a heap at the bottom surrounded by too many toys. Plus, I have no desire for an orange HISS, which means it would either spend its life in the back of a closet or I'd have to paint it. I do like how that blackish/dark grey Skystriker looks though. Pretty cool after all these years of white/light grey.

It has that weird swirl effect like the Crimson Sabotage Hiss from a few yesrs back, and in fact a lot of the stuff in that era has ( POC Snowcat also has it). Both the hiss and the jet have it. It really works on the jet it looks like condensation ( if you ever fuck with real aircraft) that forms on matte/ CARC type military coatings when they heat up or cool down quick after changing altitudes or climates. Its trickier on the HISS as it has a pearl effect along with it that just sort of neat to look at.
I see what you mean about opening a door to a slippery slope of being piled under toys, I am real close to picking a stopping point due to that very issue and army building

I bet in a month or few that there will be a lot of relatively cheap BIN or make an offer auctions on ebay for just the jet. This set works pretty good for buying and parting out to cover whichever oen part of you somebody wants, with 4 figures that can get pawned off for a ten and shipping to an impulse buyer, then a vehicle some one could part oen out and cover the 49.99 cost and keep whatever oen piece of it they want... so in a short time I bet this sale results in a glut of piece parts of this set on ebay.

I hang my aircraft from the ceiling.. so I have a lot of Skystikers. 2 30th, 1 SDCC Starscream, 1 50th, 1 Crimson Scythe.. need to get a Night Boomer and Jetfire to round out the collection.
I love the colors of the 50th. Swapped the canopy from the Crimson Scythe so that is has a complete stealth look and the red canopy just looked better on the Scythe. Lol
