Yes I am happy that it succeeded. And I happily backed it. But isn't it some BS that we are getting a single cobra flight crew figure, when we all know we really wanted those two generic joe flight crewmen? I mean, it is the same body just a different head... and while the cobra tack on was a nice gesture, its a punch in the face if you wanted the joe flight crew. I don't know about you, but when I think of the Sky Striker, I do not think of CC, an inept cobra trooper pilot, and a nameless, faceless flight crewman better suited waving Rattlers around an air strip.
It really sticks in my craw... This is for Bob and Steve, so many of us wanted your silent red and yellow majesty on the flight deck of our Flagg... you will be missed. |

Don't give up. We'll get them eventually. They might surprise us by throwing them in.

Nope. Cobra inclusion > Pit Crew inclusion.

Not pissed at all. We'll get a shot at Joe Pit Crew figures. Probably more than two colors as well.
It's a long time between now and Spring 2023. Lots of time to release a lot of product. Expected figures alone based on what we've seen, plus whatever else is in the development oven.

Honestly I wouldn't have backed if it came with the deck crew instead of th3 cobras
I thought it was overpriced. Selling the 3xtra 5 figured the and my 2011 make it an easy buy. I collect ME. No its not designed for them. I figure it will be what? maybe 3 days after people have it in hand that compatible seats are on thingverse? |

Why would we be pissed? The flight crew was a stretch goal. It wasn't met.
The Cobra crew was bait to reel in new backers. It worked. As for "overpriced" - Completely retooled vehicle, bunch of extra accessories and before stretch goals, came with 5 figures. Those figures knock $100 off of the Skystriker's price tag, bringing it to $130. If anyone can find a complete Skytriker for $130, please let me know. |

I'm disappointed, but not really pissed about it. I'm optimistic we'll get the Joe crew in some form down the road. I totally agree that I won't be using any of the Cobra figures on my Skystriker. I admit the Cobra Hack was a fun thing to do and needed to boost excitement for the project. It was a genius move really. I will happily take the Cobra figures and use them with my Rattler. When you think about it, we'll probably never get a chance to get a Cobra ground crew figure any other way. Had they never done the Cobra Hack it probably wouldn't have crossed anyone's mind to want one. Now that we've seen the Joe ground crew I think Hasbro has generated enough interest and demand that they will figure out a way to give us those figures. They'd be leaving money on the table if they didn't.

Hi and welcome! Maybe pump the breaks with the "punch in the face" stuff, eh? As others have suggested, the thing just ended days ago and was a smashing success (compared to what it looked like this time last week). We unlocked 2 of 3 stretch goals! Freaking radical!!
Let's give them some time and see what they decide to do between now and when Skystrikers start showing up on doorsteps. What do you say?

Seriously, I'm still basking in the joy that the project is even getting made at all. I haven't really had a chance to be upset about anything regarding the Skystriker.

Anyone else pissed about Hasbro throwing in extra figures that weren't part of the original announcement? Man, I just hate it when I get more stuff than I expected! What a punch in the face!
Learn a lesson from this, Hasbro. Next time, if you want more sales, you better take figures away! That'll really get people on board. |
