Lanard is not a collector company. They are probably among the last "true" toy companies active in the action figure aisle. This is stuff aimed to kids, and is meant to be quick and cheap to produce, sell a bunch while a movie is out, and then get cleared out.
You guys need to set your expectations accordingly. Also both jets are past Corps vehicles. The right jet with the light grey has seen many recolours

But is a Skystriker available? Is it something his mother would go out and buy on the second hand market for him? Or would they be more apt to buy a 2 pack of jets for less than half (or more) the potential price of a Skystriker?

As a guy that has no dog in this race i offer this anecdote.
I'm a life long GI Joe fan. I purchase the ARAH comics. I buy the older non modern style Joe figures. I posts on Joe forums. I follow Joe news. 2 of my nephews received the Corps! Air Command version of this jet (pictured a few posts above) last Christmas (?) and loved the opening wings and lights/ sound feature more than anything i've ever let them interact with that was Joe related. They received BOAT LOAD of other toys that day as well but the jets were most loved. Lights. Sounds. Cool look. Opening wings. Pilot figure. Cheap price. It won the (Christmas) day. |

Well, I can say that lanard keeps the product affordable and in stock, so many threads on here I've read people who were diehard joe fans saying "I'll wait for clearance, or for this or that to show up at tjmaxx"....at least with Lanard products they are priced affordable and can be obtained, and The Corps! Will be returning to Walmart after the license products and star troopers, and All will be priced affordable, fun for kids and collectors alike. The brand is 34 years strong!

Walter, I agree with what you’re saying and I respect Lanard for keeping a retail presence, but just so you know the “clearance and TJ Maxx” thing has only been used as a joke the past few years. People in the past have however said that unironically, but it’s much more commonly a joke.

I'm more interested in their Star Troopers than whatever Top Gun thing they have.
