They never produced a Skyfire toy, so they took a Macross toy, renamed him Jetfire, and called it a day.

I knew it was something like that. I think I had a Robotech toy that didn't transform, but looked like it was supposed to. I was also trying to turn that bitch into a jet.

From toygrader regarding the predaking...
I am not quite sure from the photos whether or not this piece is still factory sealed. When the piece was graded and cased by AFA, the box was sealed and the flaps were tightly closed. It appears that the piece may have sustained damage from rough transit.

We would be happy to recase the piece for you, but if the factory seal has been broken on either side, we would not be able to leave the grade of AFA 85 on the piece-the piece would now be ungradeable.
:angry: :slap:

Rough transit?! If it were a shipping mistake, the 1st thing to break would be the plastic case.

There's no way AFA would even grade a toy that came in on that condition. There's no way any normal person would send that in for grading.

I'd say the seller swapped the toy and resealed it, but you'd have to shatter the plastic case to do so.



Just eBay it and try to recover your costs.

That sucks. Looks like you paid extra money for a nice plastic case that doesn't make up for the fact that the condition is crap.

Burn the seller. I'll bring you some matches.

I am. Everyone on this board stay away from it. I'm listing it as seen in picture, as-is.

Farking-a...mo-fo...

For all the headaches this is causing me, I'm seriously tempted to crack the thing open and have at it as if it were 1985 all over again.
