    Looks great but i will wait until the (probably) premium version is released later in the year. Great review and pictures!

    Man... Americans are getting this for half the price we're paying here and they're complaining!

    No were not. Jetwing is exclusive to Japan and Austrailia. We're getting ultimate Optimus which looks horrible. So us Americans have to pay more to import jetwing.

    Terrble, terrible toy imo. Calling it trash would be insulting trash.

    The review feels very rushed, like the guy wanted to be the first in the world. No commenting on design, articulation, molding and whatnot. But I don't think much of that is there. Definitely would not buy it. It'll likely shelfwarm at the price like a lot of the ROTF Devastators. If that's the case, I might be persuaded by a price tag of $50 - $70 but even then that's a maybe

    I take it you mean the first one? All gray without guns? I don't own one of those anymore (I replaced it with Premiums) but I suspect that they yes it would given Buster's primary modifications related to the guns that formed the smokestacks and not the clipping part.

    So if it works on Premium Buster Prime, it should work on the original.
