I remember being so happy I got this from my parents for Christmas. I loved running around making sounds shooting my friend in his X-Wing then landing on the USS Flag. Kids these days are missing out on Good Cartoons, Good Toys, and tambark in the playground. This is the reason kids today are pansies!
i agree,im 11 and i like g.i.joe toys and the cartoons tom and jerry is one of my favorites especally mickey mouse.i hate disney channel for not showing classic cartoons thats way more better than wizerds of waverly place

I was only 5 in '83 If i'd have my pick, this is the best toy of the 80's that I'd like to have now I had serpentor and the two twins Too bad back then I was into Masters of The Universe.
I have 2 of these, 1980s, in good condition...are they worth anything? I see a 90s versino for 13 bucks......may just let the kids use em (ie rip em appart).
My favorite toy as a kid.. Though the Skystriker advertised was different than the one you get. No black tails, and thinner nose cone. I think the stickers were different too. Still rocks.
Never understood why the wings were open when the landing gear was down and swept back when pulling the wheels up. Seems like it should be the other way.
It was supposed to be like an F-14 but, the scale was way off. Of course, with the more powerful engines of today, it might be cool to build a life size working one!
I still have Ace but I sold the plane when i as 15 and too cool for toys. I had a helluva good time playing with them tho. I had em all my favorite was Storm Shadow and i love the battery powered tank. Knowing's half the battle...
One of the best toys ever built. Authentic detailing, amazing features (swept wings, array of missiles, parts that were easy to remove without breaking, the parachute that always was the first thing to go, etc.), and just plain fun. Ripcord was normally Ace's copilot when we played, though dropping a HALO jumper from a fighter plane seems problematic now that I think about it. lol
They were cool toys back then

Shit I had this toy, when I was 7. That was a X-Mas gift :) I had many GI JOE figures.
It was soo big (because I was soo little).
Thank You Nords for the upload. It brings back memories :)

I have a Skystriker and I figured away to separate the mechanism and the wings still turn simultaneously.

@racketeer789 F14's had the wings forward at take off and landing, plus at low speed to provide more lift.
