    D Banks, you are a true gentleman. You went the extra mile and filmed a whole new video clip (which I know from personal experience is time consuming, and far more difficult than people think.)

    Thank you, from all of us fans.

    Now, that said...I will admit the x-wing configuration does look nicer on the combined mode, but it's still not enough to sell me completely.

    I'll buy it for everything else, but the x-wing mode just isn't enough to sway me. Still, not a total wash.

    Hasbro, you pulled off a miracle. But you still haven't convinced me to buy Oil Slick. Hah.

    Let me be clear...i wasn't insulting banks for his review. It was well done..i just do not like the figure...it has nothing to do with him. My personal opinion is it's a waste of money..even at retail. Him spending money is his choice...i just do not like the figures..that's it

    My comment wasn't aimed at you. Actually, it was a comment in general. I've just seen a lot of people complain about these video reviews, and mock the person(s) doing them.

    And your opinion on the figures, understood and respected.

    We can't win 'em all.

    oh i wasn't referring to you either...i was just making it clear. And as a person who does video reviews, i'm aware of peoples attitudes toward us. As far as bank, i've expressed my concerns in the past and they aren't getting fixed, so i no longer bother. But thank you for respecting my opinion. While i might not like the figures and think they're "ugly" i might get them for the purpose of reviewing them...

    No, i gave my opinion and you said i was denying someone else's opinion while i did no such thing. Everyone has the right to their opinion, and if you somehow feel i denied someone there opinion, you don't go denying mine in return, you just send a pm trying to settle things peacefully. You also seem completely unaware that there's such a thing as discussion, where people discuss their opinions together. If anyone has an attitude problem, it would be you for immediately going into offense as soon as you see two people who do not immediately share an opinion.
    So again, if i somehow offended you, it was not my intention,sorry.
    But please try to keep in mind that they're discussions, not an attack or a repression.

    The combined jet mode reminds me more of a V-wing than it does a X-wing.

    very nice d-banks that makes the combined jet mode look much better. also optibotimus i wasnt really signaling you out in that comment its just that as you know we get those comments from people who are far less kind type of attitude and ive seen other deal with it really with alot less tact. was just glad to see d-banks handle it in a mature manner.

    Banks, is it possible to bend the legs of either jet in combined mode? I ask this because that might lead to different possibilities for wing configuration in combined mode. For example, Jetstorm can have his legs pointed inwards in a "v" formation from above, while Jetfire can have his legs either straight, or angled outwards in a "a" formation. Then swivel each leg outwards to do the "x" formation from the front. This way, you can see the wings in an "x" formation from the front, and above! Least I think so.....

    Thanks for the review and pics man! I'm buying this set.

    he said he'd upload them tomorrow, a page or two back.


    my opinion on these figs, are total buy :] crappy to some, but a win for me. i cant wait to complete my animated collection.

    and this reminds me of the armada series, how hasbro tried new things with the transformers. but hopefully, they come out with an even better combinder. maybe the 2 constructicons find a hidden ability to combine? and they come out with another two pack like this? who knows...

    oh, and excellent reviews banks ;)
