I will say, I currently have the newest version of TVC Slave One, and all 3 of the recent TVC X-wings that Hasbro has made. All 4 are badass, especially the Slave One. If those 4 are any indication of the potential of this Skystriker, I think most folks that backed it are going to be thrilled, and most folks on the sidelines will be kicking themselves.
To those still thinking, I already have 5-10 of these, I'll pass. The question you have to ask yourself is : Will I be content/satisfied knowing that, despite having a fleet of Skystrikers, I do not own THE best Skystriker made? Because, in all likelihood, that's what you'll have. You'll have a fleet of inferior Skystrikers. Haha, that I am. I'm just trying to help the campaign along while simultaneously helping people avoid the regret. I don't currently have a skystriker, so it's a no-brainer for me. But if this was something I DID already have a bunch of (like say an APC or Warthog), I would sell one off and use the funds to offset the cost of this. I still regret sitting out the Sail Barge.

Despite the knee issue Sentinel is goddamn amazing and so is the sail barge. The fact that the Haslab Skystrikers has separate linkage for landing gear and wing sweep is already a huge win. Your vintage Skystrikers aren't doing that for sure. |

Is the chemical (it's a chemical compound yeah?) needed for the skin-color change feature something that's prohibited by law now (and wouldn't be allowed)? Forgive the vague "I think I read that somewhere," but yeah, I think I recall reading that. Zartan Classified changing to freezer color change may be a further indicator of that.
I'm guessing "lost tech" for color changing might be lost secret recipe for the plastic. One post quoting yojoe.com said Zandar's torso had to be molded as one piece. If so, how'd they connect the o-ring to the T-bar? |

Honestly the two biggest reasons I won?t be backing are this. One I already have a vintage Skystriker and no matter how much more detailed or better they make it, it?s just not what I had as a kid. Two vehicles just take up so much dang space. I always seem to regret those purchases no matter how cool.
In the end, I think I?m reaching the point in my life and age that downsizing to what I can appreciate and admire in small scale is the best for me. Some people have space and means to do get displays in their collection rooms and man caves. Just not me anymore. Starting to think less is more for me. I do hope the new Skystriker with stand allows you with the space and desire to display it like it should be displayed. |

This thing appears to have lost all steam. There's only been around 100 new backers in a week or so.
Unless a ton of people are on the fence and will go for it right before the deadline, It's not happening. The Ghostbusters Proton Pack is doing great and will probably unlock the stand. I may get one just for the collector value. Probably won't wear it. You can get an $80 one that looks very similar with lights for cosplay. |
