    I kinda agree with you too. Back to my doubt earlier, Transformers Custom Jet Optimus Prime | eBay , do you mind giving me a professional advice whether this custom worth the stated price? I'm still struggling. Many thanks

    Is there any place besides BBTS that actually has this on pre-order? I'd like to get this and the UFO trailer, and it'd be nice to get both from the same place at the same time, but I hate BBTS's shipping costs.

    Just received my FWI-3m which I purchased on ebay.
    Boxed up very well and only took 8 days to arrive from a seller in China so very pleased so far.
    At work so can't attach to my Optimus Prime yet but the actual kit looks really nice.
    Don't have experience of the original FWI-3 but the colour on the FWI-3m looks graphite in comparison to Leader Jetfire.
    It's similar to Masterpiece Soundwave in that you can see sparkles in the plastic.
    Plastics feel good quality but thin so I'll be handling gently.
    The cannon is huge (would make a decent life size pistol if it had a handle) so can wait to get home and give my Optimus some serious firepower.
    One criticism would be that FWI could have given the red paint a second coat to make it brighter.

    Is there a comparison somewhere between the original and metalic?

    You won't be upset with the trailer. It is hands down my favourite third party accessory.

    For anyone still interested in this kit, I managed to find the metallic version in-stock at Robo Toy Base:

    Fans Want It FWI-3M Jet Power Kit Metallic Ver (Rerun Ver)

    Overall a pretty good (if quite fiddly to apply) kit. My only misgiving is that whilst attaching it for the first time, a screw on the underside of one of the cockpit halves scraped a whole bunch of marks into one of the chrome sun visors of my Buster. Not happy considering how much the figure means to me and that I've kept it in pristine condition for about 8 years.

    So I got this kit (FWI-3M) for my MB-11 Optimus a few years ago. It needs to be disassembled now but I just can't remove the weapon from his hand. I tried pulling it apart, but it just won't budge. I'm afraid I'll break something if I pull any harder. Did anyone have the same problem?
