    I think it could be done and kept somewhat comparable with Unicron and the Barge. It's more plastic but much simpler structurally/engineering-wise for those reasons. If they could squeeze it in at like $750, I think it would make it as long as the minimum isn't too crazy.

    If a PIT is on the way and able to interact with the Skystriker, now would be a fitting time to show it.

    They just threw Ace out of a 4 story window to test out the parachute:

    Glad that the Skystriker is going to make it, glad to see us 3 3/4 guys are still out there. Granted, I think it is a little over price, shame we probably won’t hit any tiers.

    Is there a Youtube mirror? What's the skinny, for those of us without Instagram?

    I have an IG account and I can’t find it anywhere on their page. Don’t see it on YouTube either.

    Just some talking. They did show the back engines come out and have detail. They also fit on the ammo cart. They threw Ace with his parachute out of a 4 story window and look like he landed ok.

    The pause is a little weird. It's been inching up steadily every refresh since I woke up. I feel like it's just going to jump over the hump all at once in a little while.

    Thanks Shin, I tried to do that during that time and it did nothing. Oh well, maybe they will repost on YouTube. Thanks.
