Don't know how long this will last. I couldn't resist. I finally had to pull the trigger. He's been dropping all week, from $110 to $99 to $65 and now to $52. My luck he'll be $40 tomorrow, but I can live with this price. He's worth at least that to me. Can't wait to have this bad boy on my shelf facing down Sentinel!

WOW!! Thanks!! Ordered!! I thought about this at $100 so glad I waited.

If it goes down to $40 I'll just buy another one :grin:

Nice Intel! Friggin Ordered!

BAM!! Freakin' ORDERED! Spousal consequences be damned, I'd be a fool to pass this up. Super-props to Dean ML for the tip. :BOWDOWN:

Unless my wife gets upset, then: damn you Dean ML!

I'll prob have to wait until my Feb wedding anniversary to open him, though.

Does anyone on here have the Amazon Jetwing Prime?
I was watching a review, and it looks like Hasbro added a new piece
To the Takara back pack. There appears to be to molded boxes to the back that's
Either for holding something, or locking down the pack
In truck mode..

Can anyone confirm?

Why are you
Speaking like Captain

Sorry, couldn't resist :grin:

The way it read for me reminded me of those terrible Kirk impersonators.

If I wasn't already blowing $350 on Fort Max, I'd get this. If it's still there in 2 weeks, I will.

Thanks for the post man!! I might pick him up I might not, If he is around after Christmas for this price he might be all mine. hahaha

$52.05 + $7.09 shipping = $59.14, then throw in my Amazon Visa Reward Points of $20.14 = $39 Jet Wing Prime. AWESOME!

I have one. I pulled the trigger on him last Friday at 62 bucks shipped. I spoke to Amazon last night and they credited back 9 dollars to me since he had just been delivered and the price had already dropped.

As far as I know, there are no changes except the paint from Takara's Jetwing Prime.

The base figure has buster style tanks to form the weapon and be removable. He has the new abs and arm pieces. Also those little feet clips to help him support the added weight. They store on the jetpack in truck mode, as did the Takara. Oh, and now Hasbro is too cheap to include batteries for the electronics. He comes with an instruction card for installing the batteries (sold separately).

The jetpack is exactly the same. The gas tanks store inside of it. The wings fold on ratchet joints. The guns detached via rubber connectors. Only difference seems to be the wings are painted differently and the guns have a hippie style smattering of paint.

I have pics if you need something specific.

Oops! Ordered two in a sec due to these type of deals vanishing in seconds sometimes and then realized it was the movie deco... Still thanks for the info, I'll gift one to someone and they surely would be happy.

Or maybe, just maybe reprolables would come to the rescue and I custom one.
