I dont think i would back a Haslab Skystriker. Its not a vehicle i was ever keen on. So i want Ace in a single pack.

I voted for the smaller jet option as my preference, but I don’t see any reasonable way it happens. I think the Sky Striker is simply too big to be practical at the 6 in scale. However, if they do a Rattler (which is itself a question), a Conquest X-30 is possible with Slipstream as the primary pilot and Ace as an unlock. Unfortunately, I don’t think the Conquest is iconic enough to succeed as a Haslab.

Just doing some simple math after measuring my original Skystriker, the jet would come out to 40" long and roughly 36" wide full wing span. While the Dragonfly is really pushing the limits on space. My goodness that's huge! The packaging alone is absurd and I really want a Nightraven, but I'd rather hold off on Ace until the line is fully fleshed out before committing to Ace alone. I've ordered food in the past with an empty stomach before I realized how big my eyes told the real size.

I would like the option of an Ace without having to buy a whole Skystriker because I think he's a well-defined character on his own and I'm not sure I want to make room for a Classified-scale vehicle that large. I feel the same way about most of the named pilots and drivers. I was happy with the Copperhead we got, more of that is welcome.
They probably have to save him if they're planning on releasing a Classified Skystriker eventually, but I hope they find some way to make him anyway if that doesn't happen. |

Lenny from the Hasbro team has come out and said he scaled a Classified Skystriker and it would be about 5 feet long and currently that is too big to make. Hope we still eventually get Ace

I'm 100% open to him coming single boxed but I voted with Skyhawk because I want one.

Something like what we got with Hall of Fame ACE with the appropriate and relevant patches. Save that spacesuit shit for the Retro line. I don't, (and never have,) liked ACE's spacesuit. That shit is weird as fuck and it's hella goofy. Even if we were to get a Skystriker HasLab I would want ACE in a green Air Force flight suit. This one for Ace.

I voted for the 4th item - "w a smaller vehicle"... but here is my idea:
Ace with Flight Training Simulator. Ace would come with a Skystriker Cockpit and Nose - think about the size of Baroness's Cycle. It could have a ladder - two seats - full setup looking just like the Skystriker - but it would not include the rest of the plane. Have it come with a stand that makes it look like it's on hydraulics. It could be a 'playset' type thing - or a 'flight simulator' in the Classified story. It would look cool on display - even without the wings. |
