    With points and the winter sale discount I can get the F version for $46. Should I pull the trigger?

    I canceled my original H45 pre-order once I saw the EX version go up. But I'm sure getting desperate waiting for that one to come out! I'm thinking about ordering H45 from Terry in the meantime.

    But look, EX is coming real soon now. In package pics means maybe a couple of weeks or even sooner.

    Hopefully it’s able to be shipped out from retailers before the CNY cutoff

    SMDH, I was fine with just the toon version, but ordered a copy because I can't resist that packaging.

    That price is insane, but I do want the EX version.

    Took a break from legend’s because of its pricing. Skipped out on Jetfire original release but now that I am in a better spot financially, I decided to get the F version.

    He isn’t the person who took those photos. He’s just showing comparisons from another site.

    I just saw the pictures H45F ver on MST weibo and post it here. If you ask me which is the better version in between MST and NA Skyfire .. it's a dead race :D  I decided for MS Skyfire, cuz he has more toon accurate proportions and clean look as a bot. NA ver has a better alt mod, and maybe I'll decide to take the F ver but I'm certainly not in a hurry yet.

    I think MS and NA both did a good job but I like MS aesthetics overall. If you asked which is more G1 toon accurate I would go with NA but the toon proportions are not flattering in bot mode and the jet always seemed like an odd design to me, even as a kid, but is definitely unique. I'd be curious to know what a person who does not know the character would prefer looking at it as a transforming robot, but realistically, as fans of Transformers, we naturally all have a bias.

    Both MS and Newage are really good. I prefer the MS robot mode’s proportions, and Newage’s alt mode… Newage’s quality plastic is always a plus. But where Newage takes the cake for me is on the transformation : the way the back pack expands and hides the arms, the way the body compresses, the way the engines expand… It’s really ingenious and feels great.

    Those new pics of the F version aren't looking too flattering, especially the last 3 or 4. Lighting maybe?
