True enough. I know that there are differences, both subtle and major between the various Macross Valkyries. I wasn't looking for a perfect match. Just a Robotech transforming jet that would look enough like Jetfire to pass. But you're right...

(SIGH!) True, and at the price they're asking, that would be WAY out of my price range. Guess I'll just have to make due with Storm Jet when he comes out.

Okay, got it. Not a problem.

I guess that's why you originally posted it twice. ;-)

Seriously though, perfectly understandable.
