Silverstreak is a redeco of MP-18 Streak so the transformation is the same. He feels a bit looser tho.

MP-18S Silverstreak is a lighter shade of silver compared to that of MP-18 Streak, and contains mica specs which give it a brighter appearance.

Looks real good in that lighter silver. Refuse to pay more than $60 for this though as the Datsun molds are wearing thin.

Those toy accurate colours look beautiful! :cool: I'd totally consider getting this if I didn't already have the original version and I could find it at below RRP. :o I voted "Only If," as in only if I happened to find this toy at a really cheap price ... or free. Which I admit is highly unlikely. :p

^I feel the same about all the MP cars. While most of them are very nice toy, I cannot justify paying above $60 for any of them personally. :o

I will say is nice but not worth if you already have Streak for this instance. Whether you prefer this to the original release is up to each person's taste.

For me Only if as well.
