I really want to get human alliance Jazz, but I don't know if he's worth it. any thoughts? I really want him, alot. plus, he comes with my favorite movie human and his crescant cannon that turns into a motorcycle, wich, to me, is cool. I just don't know if he's worth the Aftermarket cost...

It's phenomenal, does the character proud. Wouldn't pay what it's going for now, so I'd be patient and hold off for now.

He's definitely the best HA figure so far and an excellent figure of the character. Can't recommend him enough. If you're having trouble finding him, check Ross, Marshall's, or TJ Maxx. I've seen several HA Jazz's in there recently. They also usually have HA Barricade as well (which is probably the second best HA figure...right behind Jazz). If you see either one, get it. I've seen Barricade go for 60-80 bucks on Ebay.

In terms of articulation, proportion, relative lack of kibble, and even screen accuracy, IMHO he''s beyond the limit of "the best" Human Alliance figure to date.

He has no foot articulation or thigh swivel. Bumblebee's articulation is far superior.
Having said that, he's still a good toy but I wouldn't recommend paying more than retail.

How much is he going for these days?

Just, just, just go get him. He is that great. But Mykltron is right, while he could be still available around, don't hunt him crazy with your hard earn money.

Good points said, but dude he is totally worth it! Shop around TJ Maxx, I spotted him there when I first got him recently during the big wave of TFs being spotted at discount stores. I picked him up for just $11.99 and so worth the retail price but hey c'mon what a deal! I do plan to get DOTM HA Bee with the paint apps being great. But so far (I never considered HA ever) my favs are RB,Jazz, and maybe BB but you will not be disappointed by getting Jazz...'nuff said :VEHI:

i hated the movie line and the whole aesthetic, but all of that changed when i picked up Jazz. he seriously is one of the best transformer toys i have, bar none. after i got him i was inspired to get the leading cast of movie robots in HA and Leader class. now we wait for ratchet...

Personally, Iv'e seen him vary from $30-$80. Not including S&H
That's why It's so hard for me to get. Pricey. Not only that, but I just spent every last cent on a RID RailRacer! W00T! Sorry, I just couldn't be happier... If only he'd get here.... Saturday, so far away....
