Oh yes, there are about 10+ screws that hold the Skystriker together. Wait a minute!! If they are chargin us 30.00 at retail then there is the catch right there!! You have to put it together.
WHICH MAKES NO G*D DAMN SENSE AT ALL!! Unless they shortened up the Striker a bit.. the bottom and top halves are still gonna be long pieces and the wings are always tucked in so I am really confused now about this small box discussion. That's what I was saying too. That's how the current POC vehicles have been produced and it does tend to save them costs buy having it unassembelled. |

Here's what I figured. It's just a guess but if you look at the skystriker box and the jet itself, there is no way it could fit in the box without being disassembeled somehow. Maybe when they ordered the new mold, they planned in advance a way to make it modular. I wasn't at the show so I don't know if it comes apart or not.

I would be willing to be 10.00 right now that the box you see on the floor is a mockup display box! If that was the real and true box, there is no way in hell this plane fits in the box. Plus the colors are not all there and there is no pics on the side of the box and we don't know about the backside. They just wanted to display some box art but that can't be the real box. No way in this lifetime.

Maybe that Hawk is part of the Super Solider program? |

IMO the box definitely looks shorter than the jet and not just from the angle. The lines on the slat walls really help give you a sense of how far down it is from the jet. The only thing is that the overall body doesn't seem to have a seam anywhere that could suggest a separate front and back piece.

Shogi says the box is a mockup. No at on the sides or back; just on the front. So the size may also not be final.

Ok I think I figured it out. Below picture you can see a seam behind the cockpit canopy. Maybe the nose cone detaches from the body, in which case if the wings and tailfins also detach then it could fit in the box.
