    Damnit. I already have two. Do I need another? Anyone want to buy my extra of the regular version so I can get this instead? Lol

    If you put one up for auction on ebay I'm pretty sure it'll sell for a lot. People really want one and there's none left on the market and I think not a lot of people know about the repaint yet. Here's one that got sold last week.

    100% in on this! Kind of hoping Megatron will get the same treatment. Maybe with some mold improvements too for better tolerances.

    Sold, I need a FoC Prime in my collection, and he'll probably look great next to Vulcan.

    Although I have a few complaints about the design, his feet are soo small and isn't he missing a silver stripe along his chest?

    I actually liked the design from Second Chances a lot more but I heard that figure is very cheaply made.

    it's amazing that after all these years Planet X is still staying hell away from Jazz.

    While I don't have a mint factory left shoulder pad, I do have one that I "fixed" when my copy had the same break. It plugs in and should be removed during transformation but you can't tell anything out of the ordinary in either mode. Would send it to you if you pay shipping.

    My only problem fig was Triton, it came with one of Caelus' transparent blades broken. Planet X did eventually replace it, but it took a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time for them to do it.

    The metallic version is too blingy for my taste.

    That's the same shoulder pad break I had on my Apollo version. Still haven't gotten around to fixing it since it's a rivet, not a screw. Anyone who had this mold and experienced a similar break at that shoulder pad connector have a good technique to fix it? Normally I would just pull the screw or pin and redrill it with a larger screw, but I'm not having much luck on mine. With Apollo, too, that affects how the armor works.
