Another new Skybuster is called "Classic Attack." I saw a whole mess of them a few weeks ago in a grocery store that is selling them for $5.00 apiece! This plane is not listed in the Skybusters checklist at Matchbox Forum. It is an S.E.5A, with small fin (too small, I think). Dark blue metal fuselage, tan wings with skull tampo, probably made of plastic. Preliminary research indicates its official designation is SB 138. It did not look to be as accurate as even the Cragstan Wild Wings toy or those little ones (Benkson, Tak-A-Toy etc) from the 1990s! Still, it's a biplane and recognizable as an S.E.5A unlike those fantastic Skybusters we have been seeing for years, one of which looks like the twin-shrouded-rotor helicopter from the Avatar movie.
