I will paint one of the Skystrikers to look like the Skull Squardron of Robotech!

That would be sweet!
Maybe Cobra stickers can make a sticker sheet to replicate that.

I'm hoping the packaging will be something like this:

Well when I saw this I was initially blown away, but once the initial "wow factor" went away, a couple of things really were a downer for me.
First up, Starscream being a modified F-14 really does miss the mark. However it could have been saved with custom armaments, which leads me to the second thing. Why is it that they can make a custom Megatron for this set, but at the same time, not manage a pair of null-rays for an armament? Considering the sculpting and molding on it, even if they made it non firing, would have been less involved than Megatron, it really does seem like a case of them dropping the ball here. Sorry but I really do have to call "lazy exclusive" here and it completely shows.... Last edited by bowspearer; 02-19-2011 at 04:19 PM.. Reason: fixing punctuation |

Yeah, I'm with you. I was stoked (though I'd never get it because of the cost) but it really doesnt look anything like Starscream except the stripes/coloring. I could buy a retail one and paint it and that's about the same thing.

The funny thing is I have absolutely no room for two Skystrikers, and I'm not passing up the retail one, so a part of me does hope I can't get my hands on this.

To get a Skystriker with the stickers for the Super Dimension Fortress Macross (Robotech) VF-1S Skull Squardron is a dream come true for me! The 1:18 Robotech Veritech Fighter was so out of proportion! As much as I love Starscream, he is a F15 so I'll pass on the exclusive. I know Starscream is incredibly popular, and I'm sure that's why he was chosen but Jetfire is an F14. 1:18 Scale Robotech/Macross Veritech Fighter released by Playmates in 1994. (There are also 2 other versions made of this mold by Matchbox in 1985 and Harmony Gold in 1992). 1:55 Scale Transformers G1 Jetfire, Hasbro repaint from Bandai's Super Dimension Fortress Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie Last edited by synthalus; 03-08-2011 at 03:49 PM.. |

That would be such an awesome design. I hope someone makes it soon.
