    Hmm, I'm sure when I take a good look over everything in person I'll be able to make up my mind for certain.

    Taking everything I've been told into consideration, and I appreciate the help.

    Skids tf is more complex...and very cool looking/greatest pose-ability...

    SS is cool cause he's a Viper....

    And what, no Rico on the list?.....

    Jetfire is o.k......but I'm an Alt guy, so I'm biased....

    300....watch the documentary on cable/directv....much better...and realistic to history.

    My vote: get all the Alts you can.....the line is finished...once these disappear...thats it...Classics are returning...so yeah, get the Alts! :thumb

    it depends on availability, i think skids is much more abundant in supply, so i'd go for sunstreaker and jetfire.

    Agreed. Hands down Skids has the better transformation. I have to say that Jetfire is one of my favorite figures of all time! I'm extremely impressed with the fun factor of this toy!

    Enjoy whatever you decide to purchase! ;)

    Thanks.

    I hate being indecisive, never been good at making decisions when it comes to spending money.

    All the figures look great so I'm sure I won't be disappointed in whatever I do get.

    Jetfire: only the best transformer in the classics line.
    Sunstreaker: it's a Viper Competition Coupe = teh secks

    300: cool movie.. not going to disappear from the shelves
    Skids: it's a freakin Scion :yuck  with flames :lol 

    the first transformer i bought that got me back into collecting (since g1) was sideswipe just because the Viper is one of my dream cars. i've only been collecting the alternators of the cars i like. most of my time my alts are in alt mode anyways.

    Skids and Sunstreaker. Thought the Viper mold is a bit weak, Sunny cuts an impressive figure what with the stand-out colours and 'go-faster' stripes.

    Skids is not a sports car so that alone is a reasonable selling point but oddly, not one of my favourites. He's not bad, just I dunno, he doesn't stand out to me. I recall having G1 skids when I was a kid and feeling the same way about that version.

    Still, Alts = teh win, as the kids say.

    Well, I was able to get a ride from a friend....stopped by Gamestop cause I had some trade ins to make. Got $14 in credit towards the PC version of Bioshock (need to go back today to finish the preorder and such). Went to Walmart to find....absolutely NOTHING. Err, well..take that back. They had the same usual crap (TECH, Voice Changer, that stuff), as well as some Real Gear two-packs (including some I hadn't seen, ones that had Booster and I think Speed Dial and I can't quite remember the other).

    So I'm just gonna use the remaining cash I have to get Bioshock..I've bought a lot of transformers this summer..and I haven't bought a game since April (err, well I did get the transformers game last month, but that doesn't count >_>).

    I was set on probably skids and jetfire but..I can do without for now. I go to conventions often enough I'm sure I can find a decent deal there, I know some nice people that have booths.

    Bit of an..anticlimactic ending, sorry. I do appreciate all the advice and suggestions though.

    Me too, but just par for the course I suppose.

    Probably for the best in the end though, been spending too much money on TFs lately..probably do me some good to buy something different for a change.
