That's just the tip of the iceberg. If I didn't have pictures of my wife and kids, their art, my Transformers and my lockable office door and window then I'd have resorted to drinking at work or suicide by now ...

Cute. Your kids' artwork must be one of the best perks of being a dad.

(Nice TF setup too )

How could jetfire be worth that much? He wasn't rare at the time or anything so why the huge secondary prices now? generally i would expect movie figures to drop in prices but this is really odd.

Anyone have any ideas?

People on the internet are crazy?

That's a station fit for a boss. My station is a little bland, I don't have kids and I don't like leaving my toys here as it's an open office. Lol.

If I had toys here they'd get stolen or thrown away. Not to mention getting them in would be a pain due to security. One of the many reasons I wish I worked in a real office.

But yeah, at that price for what is essentially bits of Jetfire I might as well get the actual figure.

...and that's my personal dilemma. The add-on kit looks much better, but it costs just as much as the full Hasbro Jetfire. But then again, since I got the Takara Buster Prime with the nice paint job, if I'm going to go with a full Jetfire, I'd rather get the Takara Jetfire which has better colours. But then the combined mode doesn't look as good as the add-on does. Maybe they'll make a decent KO add-on kit...lol.

Who would've thought such decisions about ROTF Jetfire would be so difficult?

[Darth Cylon]

For almost $300 you might as well get the Takara Buster Prime + Jetfire 2 pack. Does A3U still have that?
