Aces High!!

Post by scoobydie »

Officially some of the worst pieces to attatch to a vehicle, the Skystriker fins !!
Ace and his buddies are having a briefing while the Aircraft are being fuelled and re-armed

2 of the Squadron are in the workshop at the moment waiting for new parts

I think someone was a bit over zealous with the sticker sheet here!

I really want the Flagg ,though the cost could be an issue.
Gonna keep an eye on this one out of interest...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :middle:us

You would need a whole room to display this, one big momma!!!

Love seeing the toys en masse like that, thank you.

Did you see your seller also has this little beauty available?

Been on the lookout for a Boomer for a while now!
Then again , a simple repaint could solve the problem though.

Andy's cracking collection of skystrikers have got me thinking about the gi joe FLAG super-toy-thing!

I'm not a GI Joe fan, being British and brought up collecting Action Force [Ironblood-era] but I'm still curious to this amazing toy, so a few questions. I'm sure this has been discussed on here before my time, so appologies if their obvious.

1 - Does anyone here own one?

2 - If so, is it on display? I'm assuming that you need a fair sized room for it [6 ft by 3ft?]

3 - When did it come out and how much was it? Surely it must have cost a fortune, I can't see many 'normal' families buying their kids it as it was so expensive? So, then, why did the US makers release it if had such limited retail appeal. I remember thinking the z force command centre was a MASSIVE toy when I was a kid and thought not many kids would get one for christmas as it was so pricey [for the times] - although my parrents did get me one for Christmas, bless 'em...

4 - Are there any pics of it all set up with lots of Skystrikers on it - I'm thinking of some US GI JOE-superfan who probably has a wing of their mansion dedicated to the little plastic people...

Anyway, just curious...

There are a few in the galleries on Yo Joe.
I was talking to the toy dealer near me, and he can remember it being sold in John Menzies.
He wants one for a display in his shop, said his mate had one but would never sell it!!

My brother and I had the FLAGG when we were kids, then sold it, but then got it back from them (our neighbors) a couple of years ago. Now my brother has it displayed in his hobby room at his house.
