    Absolutely amazing.
    I'm also enjoying that the wrists actually lock tight. Skyfire's never really did.

    The only real issue I have is that the hip joints are a bit looser than what I'd like.

    On ours, one of our screws were very loose and was better after tightening. Of course, if not loose, then tightening won't help.

    Good call, man! Each screw was about a turn too loose, and the figure is now solid.

    Wow. Jetfire is out for delivery today and SG Starscream just shipped.

    So now that's Ramger/Puffer followed immediately by Jackpot, who was followed up by Jetfire, who was followed up by Starscream.

    I'm starting to actually think Terrorsaur or Blackzarak will ship the day Starscream arrives. Like, holy crap.

    My SG Jetfire is sitting 8 miles north at a UPS customer center so it will likely be delivered tomorrow. :(

    hopefully I can track one of these down without having to bend over to a scalper.

    Looks great!

    I'm in the same boat... hemmed and hawed about it. Had it in my cart multiple times. Finally decided to go for it and it was sold out.

    keep checking Hasbro pulse online daily. If you don’t see it there, you might want to pay the late fee on eBay sooner than later if you really want SG Jetfire. Currently sold/completed sales for SG Jetfire on eBay is averaging $150 and the price will just go up over time with SG wave 2 coming out this year.

    Pulse restocked the other SG figs a bit after they released, anyone still wanting Jetfire will likely get another chance very soon

    To be fair, the preorder verbage on their site absolves them of the need to inform customers when preorder dates change

    "Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without notice"

    Also, they DO usually inform us on delays.

    Yup.
    And up until recently, they would inform us if something was coming early.

    Great figure. I didn't have much time to mess around with SGJ before traveling, but what I did have time for I like.

    I was reading through here just to see if I got "lucky" with mine...

    Smudges on the chest, looks like someone grabbed it after eating chicken wings, won't come off.

    Scuffs on the backpack.

    Large chest panel won't secure to the chest.

    Upper thighs joints are really loose, outward ratchets feel and sound broken.

    The 2 chest pieces (which have the smudge look) line up very off-looking in alt mode.

    Lots of paint flaws in general, aside from minor overspray. One forearm gun has black covering a bunch of the grey, face mask has a blotch in it, I forget what else. I got too annoyed looking him over and just put him away. I want to contact Pulse, but I know I'll just end up more pissed off if they say I have to pay return ship and restock fee.

    Liking how SG Magnus is basically the diaclone version. They can get 2 birds with 1 toy that way
