JP Jetwing Optimus toy now out in AUS

[janda the red]

shelf warmer?? I think not... the whole pile about 12 of them in BigW.... all gone

when i got mine tuesday, the lady at my local Big W was taking all the stock and putting it out the back.
while i was choosing which one i wanted, i asked why she was putting them away? she just said that the manager had asked her to do it.
there was about a dozen of them too.

I think the Ultimate Optimus is gonna shelfwarm now, at least in this country. It not only has lost the peak movie buying period, but kids and parents (and many collectors) have bought the Jetwing Optimus... and won't see the need for another big expensive figure for the line, that represents the Autobot Leader in the movie.

Very true. There should be some good bargains for both versions as the months go by. I cannot bring myself to buy Jetwing Prime, when I look at it I think about the black, angular look of the ROTF Prime jetpack (like on the unreleased voyager) and I wish for that.

I personally won't be buying Dragonfly Prime. I only barely bought Jetwing myself. I couldn't stand the overall cheap unfinished look of him but then remembered I have "a thing" for "Powerup Primes". If he was painted up like Buster then I'd have grabbed him in a heartbeat, since I missed out (at the time saving for European holiday) on the Buster/ Jetfire 2 Pack.

I still have a ROTF Prime MISB I hadn't gotten around to opening him due to a lack of display space so Jetwing was a great comprimise. I'm glad I got him, he displays well and looks totally f'ing badass

I decided to put one on Christmas layby at Target today (so my bank account didn't suffer too much) and there was still a massive pile of them.



The little kid nagging his mum for one looked quite jealous when I picked up one and wandered off with it. Oh yeah

Haha - the little kid would have trouble transforming it and give up. Then the mum would be frustrated and give up too!!!!Modern TFs are much more difficult than G1s

For me I like it but the price is pretty high even on sale. I got the normal rotf leader prime and it isn't different enough to buy again. Granted it is a huge jet pack but still hard to justify at the price.


Maybe at 120ish but not anymore, I'm glad we are getting stuff like that here.

No kidding! I can't even get my voyager Ironhide all the way into vehicle mode, I get 90% done and then it all goes pearshaped and I give up.
