So will we be getting a different sticker sheet? I certainly hope not. I was probably going to buy these from the States (and be horribly gouged) anyway but would obviously prefer to buy locally - again, not that I've had much luck finding Joe stuff locally. I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't want the sides of my SkyStriker adorned with stickers that make it seem like it's some cheap bootleg.

How would the stickers make it look like a cheap bootleg unless the US stickers make it look like a cheap bootleg? Do our '80s vehicles' Canadian flags make them look like bootlegs?  Not trying to be confrontational, mind you.

I have to agree with Snakes. As a kid I wasn't aware that my ARAH vehicles were different from US versions because it still said gi joe on them, and that's the only thing that mattered to me anyway. I think whether this is called a Skystriker, Skydiver, SkyFighter, whatever, will be of little consequence because the SkyFighter will commemorate the original Skystriker on its overall aesthetic level rather than on the name of the plane itself. Look at the simple solution: you can always buy sticker sheets from Cobra stickers.com and problem solved Gerjurdking  :wink:

I haven't seen the sticker sheet.  Do the stickers even say "Skystriker" on them?

here is the sticker sheet

Anyone pick one of these up yet? Are the Canadian stickers/filecard(s) different?

[Uninvited Ghost]

So still no sightings? Is there a sightings part of the forum, couldn't find one...

[bandonov]

Still Nothing....

Got my Sky Strikers from HJL collectibles today. It says on the box "Sky Striker", not Sky Fighter. And the box is english only. Am I to assume that I got the american versions of them? Or did Hasbro manage to secure the rights to "Sky Striker" in the end?

Interesting to take note that the pilot is not "Slipstream" as advertised in some sites. He's really called "Capt. Ace".

I didn't open one of them yet but the pics on the back of the package show a "Sky Striker" sticker on the underside of both engines.

Has anyone found these at retail so far?

[latinjoe22]

Does anyone know what is the suggested retail price of the Skystriker that will be released in Canada?

I paid $55 total for mine but that was at a comic shop.
