truly Amazing (in a good way) how popular this Jetfire is; this is at least the 3rd reissue of it. Walmart really screwed themselves putting it on clearance after they committed to it back in 2019.

That Jetfire is so good, I feel no needs for the MP version.

I've been sitting on a MIB Spinister and have been debating between opening him up or eBaying him. Key thing is I'm concerned about the clear plastic parts as I do play transformers with my kindergarteners. The rest of my siege figures seem to hold up well to their abuse. Thoughts? Thanks!

Unless you don't care about the character or the toy, just open and enjoy. The clear is not structural and is not known to break. So, just play!

Don't care about the character, but I've heard great things about the toy. Are they true?

Personally, I didn't really like it so I sold it. But every one who kept it loved it. So just unpack it and wooooosh around!

I also have a MISB Spinister, I'm debating selling or keeping. I was bent on putting the Mayhem Attack Squad together, and now with Windsweeper coming, we just need Ruckus and Thunderwing. Ruckus might be a given redeco of Beachcomber, but I don't see Thunderwing coming any time soon. Though we did get Straxus, so who knows.

I still can't believe we never got Thunderwing from Titans Return Sky Shadow, seemed like the most obvious thing in the world to do.

That would have been an obvious repaint/retool to do, but Thunderwing deserves better. At least a new leader or even a commander mold.

True, I was also expecting a Thunderwing retool from Jhiaxus, and we got Vector Prime instead.

T-Wing deserves better than a voyager, even if the Jhiaxus mold would be great tu use for T-Wing.

I wonder if being a Pretender is what's keeping Hasbro from producing him. In the comics he was never out of his shell or combined in jet mode, so I never even thought of him as a combiner and I never had the toy. For me a voyager or leader version of the Generations figure would work fine.

The front landing gear on my siege Jetfire tends to be challenging to unfold. Is there any fix anyone would recommend? Thanks in advance!

The Reissue of Siege Jetfire is out and about! My copy arrived the other day. He's bloody huge! Robot mode is very nice, though the legs feel a little loose, like the ratchets are no quite as tight as you'd like. He still stands perfectly well though! The upgraded combat mode is very slick, though I do wish there were antennas. Strangely, I do prefer the Skyfire look more, which confuses me slightly.

The jet mode is not great, being pretty gappy and the head is clearly visible, though the execution of hiding it is pretty cool.

All in all, he's a solid and imposing figure. I really dig him.

Siege Jetfire may not be perfect, but he's awesome enough so that the 400$-ish MP is not needed.

Sold my original Jetfire, been thinking about getting a new one since Skybound has done some cool stuff with him
