Transformers Generations 30th Anniversary Leader Class Jetfire Pre-Order up at Amazon

Im still going to wait until these hit the stores, not buying til i see it in person cause im still not sold on it. $35 id say screw it & take a chance but at $45 no way.

Deals like this were far sweeter back when Amazon did not charge sales tax.

The free shipping does make it sting less though.

So what's all the fuss over $2 difference? I am all for saving money, but $2 isnt worth the hassle of canceling then reordering... i got free shipping on TRU (Ordered my son a Planes backpack w/FREE lunch box )

Dont get me wrong, LOVE Amazon, but I will start dancing when someone has him for $35

just the price of the item.
no shipping.
no tax.

best deal

Yes, i preordered mine as soon as it popped up in my wish list.
Hell of a deal with Prime and no tax; used a few reward dollars to bring it down farther.

I totally understand getting the backpack for your kiddo and sticking with TRU, but for how much this figure is I want mine to arrive undamaged. Amazon has a much much better track record in the undamaged department for Transformers than TRU. I, knock on wood, have always received superior packing and shipping through Amazon.

Just picked up mine from a specialty shop. Nope, the local TRU isn't carrying him unlike Roadbuster.

Yup, the chrome chipping has started even before my opening him (the clear plastic rubber bands that kept his BFG in place was wrapped way too tight)namely on the BFG........a pest but minute issue.

Overall? What the other online reviewers are all spot on! You have got to see him to appreciate the mold/design. If the original henkei (great but limited by the stupid choice of scale and over sized helmet)gave us the 1st taste of a modern JF, this one leaves it biting the dust!

It is not perfect but MAN!!!!!!!! You must own one!

Btw, he ain't made in China anymore but in Vietnam like the recent Japanese Go! exclusives.

Another thing, his character bio seems to reflect his ROTF persona........so wrong!

Jetfire ancient? Since G1, if you follow the the story, he existed at the same time as Starscream.

Hide? Well he got stuck in the Arctic circle in the show and DW. In IDW he was already functional during the Thunderwing saga so I wonder where he hid?

Really? Who does those bios today? Is there no one like a Bob Budiansky to do it right?

All that chrome.
It truly does NOT work at all.

I wonder if I could repaint them without having the whole paint chipping away in the future?

Is that a thing? Officially announced and everything? Because having to pay 60$ + taxes in store, might as well throw in another 20 to have a better looking version.
