man that looks so good the classics jetfire was one of my favorite designs, wish I could get this one but its a bit too pricey for me...but still looks great in those colors.

Totally wish this one was coming to the States. Love the mold, even liked the Blue Angels deco despite the brown.

[MikePrime]

I'd like to buy one. It's a good color scheme and a good toy.

If it was solf in regular retail I'd get it. Not normaly a repaint fan, but it would make a nice Dread/Darkwing. Either one really.

 

The importing is a turn off though, even though $41 isn't a bad price. Till Febuary, money's tight. And even still, that's all going to a new car fund.

I dont have my Classics Jetfire in front of me, but this one looks to have a faceplate remold/tool? What do you guys think? Maybe its the silver but it seems to have more cuts then the original. hmmm :schin

 

Maybe its just been awhile since ive seen my toys i guess.

 

About my likes and dislikes, he is a GREAT deco, totally pulls it off. Dislikes, just the same as the original, no knee lower OR upper swivel. Hinders the toys poses in a BIG way. Looks good on shelf in certain positions only imo. Maybe takara will fix this easy problem. We'll see.

 

*Also if we see it in JPN, chances are we will see it in the USA/Ca. markets too. (going by repaints lately)

I believe its the same mold as the original its the paint apps that give it more detail. I just saw it advertised at big bad toy store and its actually going for $94.99 which is absolutely ridiculous...so I'm not sure if this $40.00 price is correct...gotta see it on other sites to be sure but BBTS is a good site and is usually priced well so I'm leaning toward their price as being correct.

Well, BBTS is actually THEE highest costing site to order from. BUT they are reliable and ive never heard of any problems ordering from them. But rest assured, unless they are getting certain items through the wholesale co.'s themselves, which often not, they usually have minions order tons of these then jack up the prices, then they have HIGH prices most time. ;)

 

Order somewhere else if you can, it will be less. :D

[NeloDiavolo]

I just preordered from BBTS. Expensive, but I really like this color.

Wonder how much RK or even SPAM will list it for? I'm betting it'll still be close to $40. It for some reason just seems cheap.
