The wife, and I just got our money back at TRU for the new Skystriker we had recently purchased. We took it back because we simply could not believe how bad the quality was...The front landing gear sagged when all 3 were retracted. Plastic was of terrible quality too...we were really surprised, and disappointed. Anyone else feel disappointed by Hasbro's effort on this Classic Reissue? I would have expected better for the 30th anniversary. :(

I have no issue other then the missiles falling off, but that's an easy fix.

Mine is about as close to perfect as any toy could be! Try another one, you must have gotten a bad one.

I have one out of box , and one I just turned into a custom thundercracker... Though the landing door in the front is a little looser on one, both have no problems outside of the missle pilons. Get another one, secondary try, if you still feel it's crap.. then simply return it. Overall.. I'm happy with mine. Will gladdly pick up a third one in the near future!(total purchased SKystrikers stands at 2 cases )

spot on perfect... sounds like you got a bad one.
the missiles do not stay on, but that's common.

Besides the missiles not staying on tight and the back (black) wings not staying on well, mine is as sturdy as I could ask it to be.

Well Guys, thanks for all the responses... the wife, and I really appreciate it. We are just really surprised...I guess I won the turd lotto because even the damn wings fell off when we swept them back. We also could not get the black rudders, or any missiles to stay on...only the big one in the center stayed. We also had problems with the canopy glass.
Unreal, we are in our late thirties, and have been collecting Joes for many, many years now and we have not seen anything like this before. We are not picky, and we have 3 vintage Skystrikers, and we just felt like the reissue was total garbage because of our experience. It was so bad, we did not even remove the pilot from the blister :(
