    Im actually glad my Jetfire isn't shipping yet! I had a bunch of other preorders gang up on me so a little delay of my flight works for me!
    I'll just hang out at the airport bar for awhile..:cool: ;)

    I gotta wait until at least next week before I have enough money to order Jetfire. Spent this week's money on Greenlight when she suddenly went on sale. Hopefully the dogsitting I'll be doing over the weekend will make up for things.
    Also, got Smashdown and Caliburst in today. Can anything be done with the stick up Smashdown's ass? Can't seem to find any use for it in robot mode. I can get him to hold it as a club, but it's an unnervingly tight fit.

    Toys R Us. As long as you don’t live in the U.S or any other locations that closed Toys R Us.

    Me too! So at least if it is an exclusive (To Redcard holders - not to Target), they're honoring those orders that got in before they did. I seem to remember them doing something like that for a Power Ranger Legacy item years ago - was it the Power Sword? It mistakenly got listed for like $25 and they honored the orders.

    Same here for me too... I get nervous when it only ships the day before. Smashdown and Caliburst shipped today for me for delivery tomorrow, so I guess Jet/Skyfire should be doable in a day? Waiting impatiently...

    Thanks Barry. That's what I did too, cancelled her from my Kapow preorder and went to Amazon. I sure hope Ironhide appreciates the extra expense!

    I hope the flame effect piece gets used on a stand-alone Battlemaster figure, I'm slightly tempted to buy Greenlight just for the effect piece but it's really not worth it.

    It is strange. Perhaps there's a remold coming that has a different piece? Can't really see it, what with the PotP fembot combiner limb still doing the rounds.

    I prefer Ironhide myself: best version of the character for years. Haven't really much attachment to Six Gun, but he's versatile for arming up other bots, so that's a plus in his favour.

    There is a question/picture all of us are dying for: how does Siege Commander Jetfire look next to a standard combiner? Are they the same height or is one taller than the other?

    From other pictures, Jetfire looks about double the height of Siege Voyager Optimus, putting him on par with the height of a combiner

    My Jetfire just arrived the box pretty dinged up. But the toy itself is good.

    They are the same height. I saw a photo a few days ago that confirmed that.

    I've been looking for a photo--- hadn't seen one yet. I'm sure there will be an influx of pictures shortly as everybody begins to receive their Siege Jetfires. Mine doesn't arrive until July 8th.

    Same height without combiner feet upgrades? Hopefully he's shorter than when combiner feet upgrades are in.

    Got my second Siege figure recently, and I have to say that Optimus is amazing.
