    Makes me wonder if Takara will reissue them. Time will tell. But he’ll be in bot mode. Fans Toys Phoenix will be in Jet mode. Skyfire will be the centerpiece display (I won’t have room for Phoenix. Maybe I’ll sell him. Time will tell

    Over there if they get enough response, but there will be a lot of Hasbro Asia copies floating around, so like the jets if you didn't get them from TTMall, you'd pay a little bit more to get them from outside Japan.

    I am still amazed this figure isn’t at least $350!

    Thank the dollar, if was announced last year it would have been closer to that than 270

    Even with the exchange rate bump, I still thought it would be more expensive. He’s fucking enormous! He’ll even tower over Raiden. I realize he’s not a combiner, but he could end up being the tallest MP we ever get.

    I am accepting this because it’s jetfire, but the blocky simple toon design has reached the limit for me.
    I hope Takara can find a good middle ground on slightly detailed toon robot and alt modes.

    To be fair the alt mode does look pants. That's because skyfire is a rubbish plane. Just a big white brick with wings and a nose cone. Will probably look better in hand when the sheer bigness and whiteness of it will be impressive.

    Can people please stop saying it's cheap. As someone who doesn't collect anything else other than mp I find these toys eyewateringly expensive. It's the equivalent of 2700 fredos. Two thirds of a playstation 5. It just sits there on a shelf. They are probably the worst value of any things that I buy and I continue to be astounded at how much of an idiot I am for buying these things. I mean what if someone from takara or Hasbro is reading these forums. They might think we want to pay more and whack the prices up even further. Next car bot £200.

    You realise 95% of this forum have zero clue what a Freddo is? It's a bit niche for us UKers

    What’s with all the April release dates? Are some places just always way slow getting TT Mall exclusives? I guess I have it coming in April.

    I assume with the price this guy won’t be mostly painted? Hoping for that paint though!

    For real? Maybe TCP just has a later date to ship them out... Okay, thanks.

    Yep. It's a January release and they always do last Saturday of the month.
