Who's your suki retailer zemper?

Greattoys.com or Wasabitoys.com - both have some very good stocks of TFs - but don't tell anyone now ok?

I'm partial to wasabitoys as I have already ordered from them. You planning to getting encores?

collection jazz has issues like the poorly sculpted mouth and it used gen 2 feet, the car didnt hold to well on the top. the latter issue corrected for the toys r us commemorative issue. when stepper/ricochet was released the head scult was back to normal, id be very suprised if we dont get the improved head in the encore version. i also hope we get the gen 1 feet back and a better fitting car mode and tight arm joints. its a shame that the reissues of jazz have been so weak as all the other takara stuff has been excellent, the hasbro versions have been a bit weaker in some respects.

Interesting...I never knew that. I have an original G1 Jazz in my collection. I do not I have any of the later reissues.

Hopefully there will be some "improvements" to Jazz with the Encore release.

I was not impressed with release as TFC 1, the smirk to the feet. Jazz seems to like "leaning" back! I agree with the comments by microclone.

I keep in in alt mode 90% of the time.

I'm holding off on the Encore re-issue unless something good comes out of it.

yeah, if i have the extra cash. plus WasabiToys.com has more decently priced items, but GreattoysOnline.com has a much, much wider selection of toys to choose from.

hahah, yes, i'll be waiting for the first online review to show the toy before i buy!! yes, overall the collection version just felt insubstantial.

oh man, i didn't realize the TFC Jazz had some issues! and to think they cost more that Encores LOL.

i hope that this Jazz will have corrected the issues on the previous Jazz releases, i'm really gunning for this as this is going to be my first Encore Figure (yeah, i missed out on the OP/Megs/SS/Soundwave thing).
