Just saw the figure at retail and cant decide if I want to pick it up or not. To anyone who owns it, is it worth the price (15.99 at Walmart ouch)?

I dig the figure, hes short but i like him. he's also 10.99 i believe at bigbadtoystore.com along with focJazz at the same price

i like him. but 16 bucks for him is a bit much. i got the first wave off of bbts so get him from there if he is cheaper. i think he is kinda worth it.

I'm sure you've read all of the prior complaints about the figure. The plastic does feel lighter/thinner than other deluxes. However, he feels sturdy enough to me, but it is somewhat lighter. My only real complaint is the size.

However, I really do like the figure and would recommend him. His design is exactly like the game and that's a big plus for me. The paint apps are very nice and his alt mode looks great too. Overall, I am very pleased that I got him. It would definitely be worth it if you took Zodd's advice and picked him up for a little cheaper online.

Bottom line: In my opinion, if you're a fan of the games/going to play the game, then I think he's worth it.

P.S. I have WFC OP too. Although that version is better, I really like having both incarnations of the video game representations of OP.

$10.99 is a good price but unless you already have a POL brewing, the shipping is going to bring you back into the $15 range. That is if you buy both Jazz and Op. If you buy Op alone, you would be better off buying retail.

It's OK. I don't regret buying it. In robot mode he is simple yet still poseable. For some reason I'm weirdly fond of the truck mode. It's like a cube on wheels, but it looks cool to me. Get it if you have the spare cash and like OPs, but it's not a must have. I hope eventually there will be a Megatron to go with him...

Out of the three in general retail right now, Optimums is mt favorite in just about every way. I recommend him.

Awesome figure, dont give in to the hate. Solidly constructed and has nice articulation and fun yet simple transformation. I personally like the chunky aesthetic

If you already have WFC OP, skip it and wait for the Ultra Magnus repaint. If you DON'T already have WFC OP, wait until you can get it on sale for $10 or less. Don't bother with BBTS; with shipping, you'll pay just as much as if you bought it at Walmart or TRU.

I picked up the Jazz already(easy pick up IMHO plus wife loves the character ^^). He is good but far from great. Guess Ill just wait for a repaint/price drop or till I feel I really want a new figure. Thanks for the input.
