Worth £20? Is it a good toy as i have just bought one on a spur of the moment kinda thing but i havnt removed it from its box yet so i can still get a refund if i want. I like the look of him though but i was wondering if he's worth keeping or not as there are other tf's i wanna get for the same price but none of them are available right now.

So should i keep him or not?

Thanks for any info.

I really like him. He's got weapons coming out of his butt and he has 4 modes if you include super modes.

4 modes out of the box or do you need to buy extra parts?

Out of the box. I want him, you lucky bugger. :lol:

He's sadly sold out in my area... Yeah, definitely a keeper.

Both robot and vehicle mode, and then the variaties with the armor and guns attached: 2 x 2 makes 4. There's a fifth Gerwalk mode, which is the jet mode with the arms and legs folded out.

My local TRU has loads of him, which is funny because he wasnt what i was looking for. I was actually after a movie bumblebee, but they dont have any yet everyone on here talks about how their local TRU stores have all the movie toys but everywhere i go they never do. Funny for once i found something that someone else cant for a change, your pain makes me feel better.

I think i will keep him then.

Where abouts do you live, if you want i could pick one up for you and ship it out to ya. Obviously youd have to pay for the toy and shipping of course.

Wow he sounds like very good value for money then. I think i'll be keeping him in that case, since knowing my luck if i take him back and want him again in the future i wont be able to find him.

Trust me, he's the best Classic toy there is. Hasbro did an excellent job on combining the original Macross/Robotech toy with the cartoon Skyfire. He's a must-have.

Yes, he is an outstanding figure. Lost of weapons lost of poseability. The onyl thing i find against it is its lack of a thigh rotating joint . Otherwise its outstanding.

The detacheable Battle armor, gives it so much more value, than if he were just a standard Jet.

Do keep it.

i think jetfire's one of the bset of the classics line. all the guns and gimmicks, just not sure which head i like on him better. one's too small and the other's too big. but they kinda went for a magnus feel with that too.
i dig him, i'd pick him up if i were you. second best thing to a g1 jetfire

haha, I'm glad my misfortune makes you feel better. :lol:

Thank you for the offer, however I must decline as I live in Canada and overseas shipping is usually too much for me. He's still readily available for a fairly decent price on eBay, and I've yet to check every single store around here (I've only checked the readily accessible ones), so I've still got a few options. Thanks though!

Glad you decided to keep him, I'm sure he'll be an awesome addition to your collection.

by **Sonray** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 7:24 pm

OMG guys im so glad you convinced me to keep this toy! It has to be one of the best toys i have in my collection, coming third next to MP Prime and BT Jazz/Miester!

Wow! This thing is da shizneet!

I paid shipping from the states to get one of these(uber rare in NZ shops), he is one of the best TFs I've ever seen - certainly in my all time top 10.

He would be better if he had hip rotators though...

by **Sportimus Prime** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 1:24 am

I like him.

I have the G1 version, and he's nice too. But this one is soooooooooo much cooler.
