WANT!

But I'll wait till he hits retail.

[Akroyer]

I won't take my chances at retail. Not in this neck of the woods anyway.

Isn't retail pricing closer to $60 usually for a leader class figure? It's only $47 USD here online? Are prices on leader figures coming down?

ME GUSTA...

My namesake is a thing of beauty.

Is this not a classics mold reissue?

Doubt it, they're probably trying to encorage some summer sales.

Nope, it's a completely new leader class size mold .

No it's an all new mold. It's claiming Leader class but it's pretty just a blown up Deluxe figure with cheap, hollow parts and simple (dumb down) transformation. Also the attached image is not the final product.

The final production figure is a lot plainer thanks to Hasbro endless pursuit of cost cutting.

"Stock" photo on left. The real thing on right.



I'd wait and see for Takara's offering.

whoa...
i think the classics iteration looks much, much better.

It's weird that in one thread we have three totally different figures pictured but they are all the same figure...???

I think it is the lighting that makes it looks horrible in the photo on the right side. One thing is true though, it has more paint on the Jetfire to the left side. I wouldn't rush getting it because I am sure he will be everywhere and goes on sale.
