I'm also hoping that this means that somewhere along the line (not toooooo far) we'll get a deluxe Skids. I mean, I'll buy the Thrilling 30 one if I have to, but I'd rather not.

I take a little objection to the comment that he didn’t get enough appearances in the comic - he was the main Autobot character for several months and one of the extremely few to get a solo story in the Marvel US comic. Of his fellow 1985 Cars, Inferno barely appeared at the end (when his Classics and Action Master toys appeared), Red Alert effectively did not appear, and Smokscreen maybe said four lines, and Tracks, Hoist and Grapple did not much better - good thing all of those guys got their spotlight cartoon eps. Poor Skids missing out on TV stardom.
Yeah, never understood those who claimed he was obscure. And anyway, he isn't obscure any more, not after his run in the MTME/LL comics.
