May have to drop that cash to get this bad boy.

Also, could someone please translate Skylynx's story? I wanna read it, but it's not in English.

Sky Lynx will be a buy for me.
And stockade looks much better than the usa version.

Wholeheartedly agreed. I've got to pick up that SkyLynx.

Does SkyPuma sound better to you? besides, they're both cats, so don't be like Magnus and deal with it.

I'm buying one
I just can't get excited for that Skylynx toy, I hated him as a kid and I still think that he sucks.

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, SKYLYNX TOY THINK YOU SUCK!
All joking aside, Sky Lynx is actually cool, but he's definitely not worth the price they're commanding right now.
There are many other G1 figures that deserve a reissue (and we're getting one of those, Omega Supreme) and it's a shame.

L33t for Link? As in "linking Earth to Cybertron via shuttle".

He looks like he fits the Lynx more than the Puma. But that's just me....

I'd buy the Encore for $40/$50 maybe if I had the spare dough but not at the current $80+ price tag.

From the way it looked (and sounded) one brain, two modules. Once combined, twice the strength, twice the power, etc.

A little love for Yakov. Thank you so much Autobot032.

I've actually never even SEEN a Sky-Lynx in person, but always drooled over it in the catalogues...
...same thing for the upcoming Omega Supreme. What a great way to spend money until Animated and Classicsverse 2.0!

I agree. Hasbro can learn from Takara on making a TF site. Too bad I can't read Japanese.

Indeed. Who knows what "hidden" gems we might be missing?
