    I just got my Jetfire and iMO he's not worth the $50+. some of the chrome was flaking before I even took him out of the package. he's hardly got any paint. his articulation is pretty pathetic for a modern Transformer. the worst part is how cheap he feels. since he's mostly hollow, there's no heft at all to the figure.

    AND

    the damned thing is missing a piece! it is missing the small black piece under the nosecone so he cant hold his main gun in jet mode.

    Unfortunately these scalpers never learn. Whoever did that is probably splitting up these sets and selling the figures individually.

    Me and a buddy got the two Leader Jetfires from Sanford TRU. Altamonte TRU had a shelf tag up for him but none on the shelf. Both also had the Evo Prime set.

    Well, no before pics...but we know what that looks like: Awful red chrome. It's really even worse in person, looks cheap, feels cheap, flakes right out of the box.

    Underneath is a bright, solid red plastic. Also, advice to anyone attempting this: follow the tutorial, and soak the parts in alcohol first (basic 91% rubbing alcohol works fine), and then strip the chrome. It'll speed up the process dramatically with much better results.

    Saw you also sliced off the winglet tips. Does look much better after those changes. I'll also follow your advice as soon as I get one.
