    Well, to each their own.

    But I like the way it looks, even if it is on the newer mold. ;)

    Pretty much this. (and this is coming from one of the biggest TC fans on the board)

    I'd be willing to remove most of the markings, but the tailfin ones will be impossible without ruining the black paint underneath. (plus, many of the others are printed over grooves etc, which are very hard to get every last bit out of)

    (and even after all that, it's still not G1 toy blue and the accent color is graphite/charcoal, not black)

    It's a single-seat canopy though, with single-seat decking---and an arrestor hook fairing (all of which are non-E details) The only thing that's really "F-15E" on it is the JFS exhaust.

    They're nice but they look out of place. They should have been used on something else. Not a MP figure. A deluxe maybe.

    i dont see what the big deal over the decals is all about, They are simple to remove and if the tail fins are molded in black those will be simple to remove as well . And if the tail fins are painted black and cant use the normal process to remove them then hit up any craft store or hoddby shop and buy a piece of black sticker vinyl and cut two piece to fit over the area.. It's that simple and probably take you all of about 10 min to do..
    I know i plan on removing all mine..

    Guys lets all be honest with ourselfs. Your going to buy thundercracker, look him over one maybe two days then stick him on a shelf and never even notice the stickers, so comon guys, is it really that big of a deal?

    The ones on the tailfin are way too big to "not notice". (and annoyingly, are the hardest to remove---and putting a sticker on top is NOT removing them---no more than putting a bumper sticker on a car is removing a dent or scratch from it)

    I'm just happy that they kept "Dragon Sass" on the side.

    It's the main reason I'm even considering ditching lightning for this.

    I don't even understand why that's there. What's it mean? Dragon's ass? what the hell is the point of that?
