Geez what a rip. Just buy the original. It's cheaper and it's "real."

I have been looking at the original for the past year. I haven't seen it go any cheaper then 125.00.

Wow. That's ridiculous. I remember seeing them come with a box for that much. You were probably looking at C7.5, but hey - it was boxed and complete for $125.
I assume you are referring to boxed. I hope they don't go for $125 loose. That's ridiculous.
Actually...it makes me want to sell my collection and buy a house.

A loose original Sky Lynx goes for $125+?! I'm usually up on Transformers prices, but this one's news to me! Guess the high price is due to the fact that the legs on the lower half are usually broken. I think one of the legs on our own loose Sky Lynx is broken too, but we have a sealed in box one as well, so we're not sweating it too much.
At any rate, I think we're skipping the re-issue unless E-hobby comes out with a cool recolor. I always thought Sky Lynx was a pretty boring toy. Hard to believe they decided to re-issue him over Omega Supreme, since both are molds by ToyBox.

Let me clarify. What I would consider a good Sky Lynx for my collection sells for 125.00 unboxed. Even ones that are broke, missing stickers, or scratched up can fetch 80+. Since I am after the character and not the vintage aspect of the toy a reissue does not bother me much. Besides, now I can have an opponent for my reissue Predaking.
