I want the original...did they ever release a re-issue?

i'm getting this on monday for about $42, not a bad price considering TF prices here in our country are overinflated.

i doubt it since the original toy was not by Takara and it was part of another toyline (Macross).

Hands down the best of the line. DONE!

Arggg! The Wal-Marts in my area only have Movie toys! (though found 20th anniversary Prime and Cybertron Primus). I hope I can still find Classics in TRU or at the outlet mall. If not, I'll have to spend twice as much online!

Amazing figure there is not enuff words in the english langnue to descride how amazing this figure is. I will say this run don't walk to were spoted him and get him.

does he has some sort of storage if the helmet is detached?

Nope. The helmet is put aside if not worn. It is stored in veichle mode though.

All the classics are superior to their originals. Its the advantage of time and technology.

Two words Get him!

If you refer to poseability, then I'd agree. But I was speaking more in terms of overall resemblance to the original show - I should have pointed that out.

For the record though, I think Classics Grimlock is inferior to the original. His legs are hideous.

But we're getting off topic...

i should be getting him this week but if hes not in store ill have to buy online


thanks everyone you have convinced me to get him he sounds like a great transformer and i hope he is

Your gonna love him! He is my favorite transformer from the classics line. Although, he falls a lot with his pack on

Nope, no reissues, but I just got mine on eBay for $120 CDN:





That's after I cleaned it and applied the Reprolabels set.

But if you think the Classics version is better, you've either never owned the G1 or just plain crazy! The G1 toy is sweet... but so is the Classics one. So to answer the original question, yes, buy it! And then save more money for the G1 version.

As an owner of both the G1 and Classics versions, I whole-heartedly agree with this statement.

he is awesome still comes down to preference.

if your gonna "collect" and not specify then he is a must.

if your selective then no.

is he good? YES! Dare I say this, but if there was no such thing as the TF story line, he may very well ended up being the main character.

A little off topic but, does anyone else think G1 Jetfire's gun looks like a fish?

I'm glad you agree. And yes, his gun does look a little bit like a fish, come to think of it.

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Classics Jetfire is definitely worth the purchase, especially if you can get him at retail price. Hell, I even was seeing him on clearance around here, but he was quickly snapped up at $15.

You get quite a bit of versatility with Jetfire: he can be regular jet, super jet, regular robot, and super robot and he carries an arsenal that would single-handedly make a gelatinous goo out of the Decepticon Classics.

Negatives: He is not all that poseable and this is further exacerbated by his inability to stand outside of a few poses; i.e., legs close together or legs wide apart. His feet just don't make for easy standing.

Apart from that, though, he is definitely a Top 3 when it comes to the Classics line.
