Transformers War for Cybertron Fan Vote 3 Pack Video Review with Impactor, Holo Mirage, and Aragon

So, I got my Jetfire last night. I guess you can not love the cartoon take on the character, but hell if this isn't a great toy. Period. I love everything about it, down to how they worked the double-barrel mode of his gun into the design.

Roughly the same size as MP-22 Ultra Magnus, he absolutely towers over the other Siege figures, but doesn't look out of place.

I'm glad I spent the money (minus ten bucks from Amazon) on this great piece!

When you get the cash, hit up Amazon.com. If you have Prime, it's free shipping.

I really need to hunt down a Ratchet.

Whats the return window for Walmart?

3 months or 90 days, depending on who's manning Customer Service and how he interprets the date.

Good, then anyone just has to buy Jetfire next week and then 3 months later its black friday. They can buy a cheaper one anywhere then and use their original receipt to return it to walmart. And everyone wins since by that time, it will be the holiday season and I am sure people wont mind seeing a Jetfire on the shelves at Walmart.

Ultimately, I think this is the concern I have that will keep me from getting Siege Jetfire. I realize that the scale is cartoon-accurate and likely justifies the cost, but I don’t think I want Shaquille O’Neal on the battlefield with Oompa-Loopas unless it’s Omega Supreme.

You dont. But at least you are hedging your bets that you own him and have 90 days to wait on a sale. The original user was talking about waiting to buy him on Back Friday, and I was just responding that buying him now wouldnt make a difference due to the the 90 day return window.

That's what I did for my Jetfire. But I went for TrU and their Club R warrantee instead.

Honestly, even if they are no sale by the 3 following months, I don't regret paying (almost) full price for it. (I'm a Club R member for the SECOND time and I used my "first timer" 10% off coupon for Jetfire.)

So far, no regrets at all. Siege Jetfire is GLORIOUS and he's the perfect centerpiece for my Classic Jetfire collection.

Grabbed my Off Road Patrol at Amazon. I remember someone in the forum mentioning them being on Amazon, but I couldn't find the post later and couldn't find them searching Amazon so I'm glad these turned up in the news. I also picked up Soundwave, I've only seen him in stores twice when he first came out and haven't seen him since in stores. Prices online (when you can find one) haven't been good so it was nice to see Amazon finally selling them for MSRP.

I do wonder what's going on with Amazon's prices. Not the Amazon sellers, but actual Amazon. They're usually really good about keeping prices at MSRP, but they've been selling Soundwave at $32.99 for the longest time and they've never had Sideswipe for less than $24.53 for no real reason.

And I really have to wonder what Hasbro is thinking only putting Soundwave in one wave even though there are more tapes coming. So far Soundwave and Apeface (for obvious reasons) are the only ones in only one wave so maybe they'll get a revision wave after wave 4?

Wave 1: Optimus Prime and Megatron
Wave 2: Soundwave and Starscream
Wave 3: Thundercreacker and Springer
Wave 3 Revision 1: Starscream and Springer (only seen this one myself)
Wave 3 Revision 2: Thundercracker and Megatron
Wave 4: Optimus Prime and Apeface
Hopefully Wave 4 Revision 1: Apeface and Soundwave

I believe Springer/Thundercracker case was cancelled no?

They’re all like that but fortunately all the ones I have are straight they did a pretty good job with them I think. Best QC in ages.

Thanks! Tried it now, it worked immediately. Held it in a glass of hot water pushed to the side for a few seconds and voilà!

Did you mean to post this in the MP-44 thread?

No, this in reference to one of Skyfire's jet effects.

Oh. My bad. Somebody was talking about crooked antennas over there...

To that end, though, my blast effects weren't crooked. My BOX was a bit mashed, but the blast effects were fine.
