^^^^Very true. I own 7, and counting, for that same reason. If they do different sets for the Eaglehawk, I'll be buying more as well.

We've actually been talking about some custom sets for the Eagle Hawk. Possibly one or 2 different sets. I'm hoping to have one in hand by this weekend. Target has those choppers on the shelves right?

A night force set of stickers would be nice.

So are the seeker sets still available at the site? Rumor has it the sticker quality is not so good on the aluminum sets. I saw where one guy did a custom and the decals started peeling from it.

This is the first time I've heard someone mentioned that the metallic stickers don't stick well. I wonder if the paint he or she used might be the problem? I've applied and peeled off every single Skystriker set we've offered since the 30 th Skystriker came out, they all felt like they could hold as long as you want, even took off some paint from the landing gear doors removing stickers.

I think it's was around some missiles they applied the extra stickers on and they just kinda peeled. Kinda like the hasbro 25th rattler decals on those missiles kinda deal.

Even then the tension from the media that the sticker is printed on will resist the curve and try to lift off over time. It is possible to use a hairdryer on low heat to help the sticker conform but it must be done very carefully in a sweeping motion. You're not trying to melt the sticker, just trying to heat it a bit to retain the curved shape. This doesn't work with the aluminum stickers because they are printed on a fiber based media. The thinner the printed media the more easily it will take a compound curved shape. Our sticker media needs to be a little thicker to resist distortion during the ink baking process. Early on we experimented with a few different types of media and some were just too thick. The stuff we use now is a lot better. I've had good luck with the missiles on my Rattlers but I am able to control the process of putting them on. Sometimes people get excited and don't always clean the vehicles properly before putting the stickers on. It's similar to cleaning carbs. Treat it like an operating room the first time and you won't be doing it over and over.
