I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

I always loved my Jetfire. I almost got the one they just released but I haven't been collecting that line and I'm honestly not a fan of the more damaged, worn look it has. Personal preference I guess.


What would your thoughts be on a MP Jetfire? Sure he'd be amazing, but could anyone actually afford to BUY HIM? lol

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

I bought ft jetfire and couldn’t b happier. I think for the price he should have his own flight stand. Not having to depend on the one from ft Galvatron .

Interesting idea with a MP Jetfire, Darkmatter :)

I think youre correct about him being expensive, if Hasbro were to produce one. ... Given the prices of MP BW Dinobot & BW Megatron, it would be safe to assume it would be either on par, or quite possibly exceed those.

I havent paid much attention to the Third Party scene, but what little Ive heard those that have gone the 3P Jetfire route seem to be quite pleased. ... So that could be an indicator of what some are willing to pay for a collector type of bot.

Surprisingly the Siege version has a lot less “battle/weathering” paint app compared to the other bots in the line. ... However, as you said, it’s not for everyone. :o

FYI there are ways to remove the battle/weathering look from the figures so they look clean and pristine. :)

I have the Fanstoys Phoenix too and I'm quite happy with him.

Fantoys Phoenix, hmm I'll check him out.



You guys think they'll ever do a Galvatron? I mean, they sort of have to if they want all the leaders done, but who knows when. Just out of curiosity, is there a good 3rd party "MP-like" Gavatrons?


Thanks!

FT Sovereign is the best 3P Galvatron around

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

Agreed ^^
Had to sell mine regretably but he is top notch quality

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

Yep FT Galvatron is sick, as for an official, it’d b too costly for us.

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

I'm curious how the new MP Prime is going to do with its monstrous price tag.

The only thing that will see a reversal in MPs increasing (and absurd) cost is the market saying nah.

And when you have 3P offerings that are as good or better, for LESS...

I hate 3p but I'd rather go that direction if I was to go MP collecting. The QC issues on Dinobot and BW Megatron alone show the extra dollars aren't quite going where they should...

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

FT Phoenix is worth getting as a MP class figure even if you have the Siege version. If you can’t swing for the X version just get the regular one.

MP-44 will do well enough. TakaraTomy just follows Bandai, Sentinel, Flame Toys - sell less at premium pricing and maintain the margin for their MPs and new Diaclones. The days of MP on clearances are long gone. Even the top tier third party prices are creeping up anyway. I have my concerns with MP Beast Wars Megatron and MPM Megatron but they seems to be fine.

Thanks but MP-44 ate me. I haven't even had time to take a really good look at him or transform him yet. Like others, I'm not happy with the red windshield wipers, but I don't have an MP-1 or 10, so what can you do?

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

They made and sold, all the other leaders, so I can't see them not doing him at some point.


Sadly it seems I missed the boat on FT-16M. Other than the big markups on ebay the only other place taking pre-orders still wants $245 CND. :/

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

$245 ain't a bad price because the limited paint version of Quietus was much more than the original release (some places wanted $300+). I'd buy it at $245, it looks f'ing sweet (and it will be worth a lot more in the long run).

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

Any chance some of the less expensive places will have extra stock once it ships, or will this thing be pre-ordered and gone?


Thanks!

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

This is the only place in Canada that I know that still has it in stock for preorder. You are most likely not going to find extra stock for this figure looking at how fast the preorders sold out everywhere.

Yea that's the place I meant. Thanks for the advice. *sigh* It is done. Someone friggin shoot me.... lol

Re: I always loved Jetfire, but would there be any point to a MP of him? He'd be $$$!
 

I see that FT-16M doesn't come with his arm cannon blast effect. Wish these companies would stop skimping on accessories that are with other versions of the same figure. :(
