hmmmm 1984, I was starting Primary school and that Christmas I got Skids and ThunderCracker, though I can't remember which one I unwrapped first.

I remember the cartoon being on but the movie never came to my home town, I do remember seeing it on Tv years later and thinking it was incredible.

I also remember paying $10 for a really cheap crappy VHS bootleg of the movie when I was at uni because I could never see it being released on DVD. how wrong I was!!
