I loved this plane. Unfortunately, it came out just after Joe had jumped the shark and I was turning my attention to trivial things like girls and gainful employment. But I liked it so much I had to get a hold of one about the time my nostalgia came back to life with the 25th Anny Joes. Still, it's the best Joe plane ever. I just wish Ghostrider would have had a cooler get up.
I want to see that on the deck of a USS Flagg. Another fantastic piece of Joe history. It's vehicles like these that make me say "that's awesome! I wish Hasbro would re-release it". I think I'd prefer to put Vintage style figs in the cockpit though. Ah the 80's back when a huge as fighter plane like this could be sold at retail for an easy $20 dollars, how said it is for us, the people of the future to suffer oil at $100 a barrel and rising inflation. I bet if Hasbro tried to sell this today it'd have to be $40-$50.
I have this still at my mothers house.
I'd have to dig for all the parts, but I know they're there.

supposedly the CIA raided hasbro once the commercials for the x-19 hit tv and they found out about it. They talked to the design team to find out who should them design pics of "something" but the team just made a ficticious design too close to "something"
don't quote me on that though
When I get mine all fixed up, I'm gonna paint it and get rid of the dayglo green. And the stupid mini wing guns that pop out.
Nice review!
I wish I still had mine - I got it loose and complete for a couple of dollars, back in 1990.
Sold it for much more than that, a few years later.

your wish is my command bro:
well at least for my armies
I also hope for a reissue, and some retooling since the landing gear clips can break away from the hull. That snap-on parts feature cant endure the test of time
DAMN!!! THAT IS THE WHITEST FLAGG DECKHOUSE I'VE SEEN! I have 5 of them, one of which is extremely white(as white as I've seen). Yous is just amazing looking!
I've wanted this bird since I saw AVAC's in person. This came out after I stopped buying Joes, so I didn't even know it existed.
errr...to be honest, i painted it white coz it yellowed so much when i got it.
Im interested looking at your 5 though!
Thats quite a fleet!

sigh...thank god
I was shocked when I saw that. My heart is back to a normal rate. As for mine, I'll get pics up, but they aren't set up yet. I will probably only have 2 up, but I may get lucky and have 3 set up. The fleet is too big, need international waters
