    It was up for sale from a comic shop owner for $250 he had more than 1, I had the opportunity to buy it but I'd rather wait than spend that much on 1 figure where I could get the whole wave.

    Looks great to me....but perhaps if they do a proper G1 styled movie gray might be better.

    I think the sculpt is great, but yeah, G1 movie grey would've brought out the details better. Sometimes silver makes a face look a tad poorly defined.

    I don't give a quarter of a turd whether a figure is official or not because what matters most to me is having great representations of my favorite characters in the 2 lines I collect (generations and MP) preferably without murdering my wallet anymore than I have to because I do have a family with 3 kids to feed too. I wanted to get FT Phoenix but due to other priorities I missed it, then missed a recent re-release for $210 that sold out in just hours the other day. After watching a review and seeing new pics of this sucker, I really think I might just say screw Phoenix and get this.

    Siege Jetfire is a little too short to perfectly fit in as an MP version, but after watching clips of him in the cartoon the way he scaled with other characters was kind of all over the place, more than once real close to how this scales with Prime too.

    I actually think this is good enough to be my MP Skyfire, and $140 less than I'd pay (at best) for Phoenix makes him sound even more like a good pick for my MP Skyfire. I already love the most recent Generations Jetfire I got for my CHUG collection but I do want to own this kick ass figure with all the fun accessories and neat 5mm peg hole hands gimmick. Anyone else looking at this figure as their MP Jetfire/Skyfire?

    Also, out of Chosenprime, BBTS, and TFSource, any idea which one usually gets Hasbro main line figures like this first? Good info to have before I preorder this and Siege Omega Supreme.

    Most likely not BBTS. Love them, but from my recent experiences, they get then a bit later.

    I'd love to see that Jetfire next to the Fanstoys version. It's so nice you could just about use it as a stand in for an official MP. Not sure of the scale but it looks ballpark?

    Different market. I actually prefer the look of both Siege Jefire and Omega, but that's because I'm a big fan of Hasui and Hasui inspired designs. They're meant to be messed around with whereas FT figures are pretty much purely for display.

    And he’s pre ordered. Hopefully the amazon ETA delivery date of July 3rd is somewhat accurate. Liking how this guy turned out!

    Why would they be? This is not a masterpiece figure by any stretch of imagination.

    Me too! I’m fine with this scale for MP given its reasonable price.
