So you'd pay 100+ dollars on an exclusive (assuming you pick it up at SDCC personally or luck out and get one online during F5-gate) just to take it apart and use it for a custom?
Have you ever thought about painting a grey one white? Might be a lot easier on your wallet... |

That is so funny, but only because it's true and HTS NEVER LEARNS!

I had a 30th Anniv. Skystriker I only took out of the box (no more than twice) to look at, and after being asked for 2 years by my Joe-loving friend when I was going to fix it up (and in which style), I looked at my Jetfire Skystriker, and came up with an idea: buy a second Jetfire Skystriker loose, and use the 30A decals, and any necessary parts to make it resemble the 1983 one. (I just wish I'd bought the Jetfire (and some Macross) sheets from Cobrastickers make my Jetfire look more unique.) So far, the work in progress has the black nosecone and tinted cockpit from the gray one, as well as the cockpit interior (because the gray joysticks looked better than the white ones). I've run into a couple of problems (one major); the decal sheet replaces some detailing (like the side-of-intake decals) with more up-to-date ones. I plan to buy a set from Cobrastickers to make up for the missing decals, but the "Star w/ 14" decals will be a lost cause: they were made in white or silver to go on black tailfins, but I now have white tailfins to use, and no black "Star w/ 14"s to go on the inside of them. As for the gray one, that's where things will get expensive. Until concessions I'm already executing go through, this bird has a white nosecone, no targeting screen (apparently Jetfire didn't come with one) and the yellow loopy things don't have lines on them, like the ones inside the 30A and Starscream Skystrikers have. My final plan? I'm going to give this Skystriker a mix of the PoC colors and those from Cobrastickers' "Jolly Rogers" set. (This is where all the real $$$ is bleeding to.) I like the yellow and black diagonal stripes for the nose. I just wish the white elements in the middle were 5-pointed stars (or "crowns", like Jerry "The King" Lawler has on his tights). Wish me luck, y'all (or at least more income!) -- Cybertronian. |
