Greetings Seibertronians!

Thanks to fellow user aronjlove, we have the first pictures of Shattered Glass Jetfire! Normally the Shattered Glass line is supposed to be an Hasbro Pulse exclusive, but the pictures come from the Australian online store Zing Pop Culture. The preorders are already up! Does that mean that SG Jetfire will not be so exclusive and be available to other online stores as well? Will this transcribe to the other toys from the SG line?

Shattered Glass Jetfire is a straight repaint of the previous commander class Siege Jetfire. This time, the deco is black, purple, and bright green. No remolding is apparent. Those colors really pop though and it turns Jetfire from a noble warrior to an evil agent of darkness!

Feast your eyes on the pictures below!

What do you think of this version of Jetfire?
Do you have hope to see more SG toys in other stores than Hasbro Pulse?
Let us know!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I mean.....I suppose this was inevitable, given that there are very few bots at his size they could remold him into. Though, given that this is the final figure in the Hasbro SG line, it makes me wonder if the rest are worth collecting now.

We got that SG Primé and Ratchet 2-pack, we're getting Goldbug, Blurr, and Jetfire all on the Autobot side, and only SG Megatron, and Starscream for the SG Decepticons. You could even throw in Rodimus Unicronus from POTP for another Autobot.

I get that any Transformers toyline will always be in favor of the Autobots, because they're the good guys (though not in this love, obvs.), but this is a little too much of the Autobots to be interesting to me anymore. >:oP

This is the LAST one? Well, I suppose that they couldn't remake everyone in SG colors. But at least they could have added Soundwave (with Ravage and Lazerbeak) and Shockwave at the very least to even things out.

It's the last that we know of. They might make some more down the line as Selects releases, but this is the last confirmed release

At least in this line, I think. On Pulse, it says the SG collection will be five figures. I suppose they could do more, and might, if it sells well enough, but I don't think any of them have presold-out, the way figures like Wreck-Gar, Slag, Kingdom, etc have.

Maybe, just maybe, they could sell more if the SG line wasn't a DAMN PULSE EXCLUSIVE and instead the things were available worldwide even if only at online stores?

I dunno, just a hunch. :BANG_HEAD:

They probably don't wanna jump the gun on such a gamble. Selling five figures on Hasbro Pulse is most likely testing the waters to see if they might be able to expand the line with more figures sold at more venues later. After all, this is a line that goes against the very heart of the Transformers series, consisting entirely of Evil Autobots and Heroic Decepticons. That's a risky move from a marketing perspective.

Maybe. But Canadians must pay 30$US of shipping for a single figure (plus taxes) and the rest of the world can't buy anything. That's a test with only the Americans in mind. That's way too small for a sample.

I don't call the line to be available at Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us. worldwide Independent online stores that specialise in nerdy collectors would be more than enough.

Given that this is available online at this Australian retailer, it might be available other places online in the future if it sells well enough.

Maybe the previous figures will also be released to the other stores too? As if it was only a "timed exclusive" and/or Hasbro finally notice that they will sit on unsold stuff for way too long if they don't yeet them to other online stores?
:-?

Jetfire is the one I want the most. They saved the best for last. I can't wait to get him. I have no problem paying commander prices for this one. Sky Lynx & Rodimus are a rip-off. I got $20 off Sky Lynx with Target's sale. That was the only reason I bought him. I'm waiting to see if something similar happens with Rodimus.

He’s nice, but a lot of the black paint looks matte so it gives him a cheap car paint look. I like the use of the blue blast effects too. The painted eyes stand out way better than his normal ones. Not sure if he’s worth the extra SG markup though.

Well darn it. Now I really need this. And because I need this, I’m gonna need ALL the SG figures. Because that’s gonna be a dang cool looking shelf of figures to display, even if half of them are characters I don’t even care for. I really do love this jetfire in those colors. Absolutely stunning.

Looks really nice but not enough to make me want it or need it over other stuff especially at the price tag.

I think I might get it? On the one hand, it’s yuuuge, and in my mind Shattered Glass Jetfire is like the Astrotrain of the Autobots (in that he’s huge and looks like a total grumpster). But on the other hand, the basis of the fictional Shattered Glass Jetfire, the one Takara dark exclusive, looks nicer to me and I’m missing having a version of Classics Jetfire. I guess this’ll be a soft want like the new Fangry but not a need like the rest of this line.

Looks great, but should I get this, as I've got the TT "dark Jetfire" version of the previous mold (which looks similar to this version)?

Right, the "Shattered Glass" collection is five figures, but they released seven including the Amazon two pack. I don't think there is any reason to conclude they won't make more, but this is the end of the line. I do assume they'll be less common.

These were never going to be big sellers, they're just ways to make use of existing molds. To a later point, they would have sold more if they weren't exclusives, but more significantly, there would be more unsold merchandise. That's the bigger issue.

That Jetfire look pretty nice in these colors. I don't care at all that he's "Shattered Glass". For me, he's only NEMESIS JETFIRE and he can stand on his own. :michaelbay:
