This is so great - very nostalgic, actually. I had a look around Mega's website, and discovered they also have a Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain sets! These guys are preying on our longing to be 10 years old again! :)
I bought a few of the FOREVER CLEVER GI Joe brick sets from Ollie’s and they were utter trash. MEGA is quality stuff, and this set is significantly cheaper than buying a complete vintage RAH Skystriker. However, the RAH HISS Tank was reissued a few years ago and is cheap to get MIB. So the draw for most here is the Skystriker & the figs. Personally, for this price point, I would’ve liked to have seen options for keeping the toy aesthetic and swapping out parts for a more cartoon accurate jet. If it ever clearances for 1/2 price I would pick it up as a novelty since I’m a huge Joe fan. But at $80, Mattel can keep this.
I want this set, but worried about shipping to Sweden. Anyways, Hasbro are very into licensing IP’s to other companies so they don’t need to take the economic risks, is what I’ve heard.
Good effort, but dissapointingly the aft underside of the skystriker looks so terrible and the hiss tank is a bit too small. They made better stuff in the past, see the harrier jet or the apache helicopter for example. They couldn't decide who this was for. It's too simple for a collector item and too expensive for a toy.

Yo Joe! Commented on the original video but just want to help the algorithm.
