Every now and then I get blown away by a toy that I thought would be a pile of crap. This is my latest purchase, the Ghoststriker F-16 with Ace. I love it! Great figure, great play value with a really well designed electronics package. OK it has pink missiles but that's about the only downside.

Nice little jet, I have been after that Ace version for a while but I seem to miss out when the biddings end :)

The Ghoststriker is one I look for every now and then. Looks like a great toy.

Rene' I actually have a spare Ace v4! I'm just waiting for the guy I bought it from to get back to me though as he also has the Ghoststriker in his attic, I was going to sell it on as a complete toy. If he doesn't make contact soon I'l let you know.

I'm really impressed by the whole Jet, very underrated!

So, Here's an update. My lovely new Viper Glider With Pilot. Took me a while to save up but here it is, no Cobra Logo stickers but it's in great condition. I've ordered a set of cobrastickers repro's but I'll keep them more for completness rather than to put on the piece. One thing that does baffle me is the colouring? It seems to be a darker blue than in pictures but on the underside, there are both the long stickers that would have come pre-stuck to it.

Cheers, I never thought I'd actually get to own one because of the price and the fact that you hardly ever see them for sale! Chances are the Falcon Glider will be the last thing I need!
