    HLJ has them. "Tamashii Stage Act 4 Humanoid Support"
    Here's the clear one, comes in a set of 3 and it's restocking next month.
    Other Tamashii Stage stands.

    Don't know what the big stand is though. :/

    Thanks TJ!

    For the big stand that comes from a Macross set (VF-25F Super). So not easy to get as the VF-25F armour packs are quite pricey. Even the basic stands can be pricey too but here's another which would probably work though does not look as nice.

    Would really recommend the Tamashii stands for Deluxes and Voyagers though, anything larger you need one of those big stands. Even on some voyagers the Tamashii stand will give. The stands after all are designed more for lighter figures and kits than TFs, really so only get it for those size classes.

    Did watching the movei change anyone's mind on this? For me, it definitely did.

    I need that jetpack for the definitive Prime.

    It did make me think about it - though I'm still undecided atm.

    For those who haven't seen DOTM yet...
    SPOILER
    Prime's trailer doesn't transform into his jetwing. It's more like his G1 trailer in that it's portable storage and it can open up to form a combat deck! (which I thought was HELL cool!)

    ...but yeah, that's given me some food for thought. The price tag of Jetwing Prime is still prohibitive to me... and also I wouldn't want to keep my ROTF Leader Prime if I got Jetwing Prime -- I wonder how much a loose ROTF Leader Prime would fetch me? Not much I imagine... (-_-)

    I'm the same. I'm still undecided. But I think I'm leaning more towards....yes.

    So if it works on Premium Buster Prime, it should work on the original.
    YOu phrased that kinda wierd. So do you HAVE to take off the tanks that form the gun to combine the jetpack?

    Sorry that's a very fair point. The jetpack WILL NOT fit on the first leader. The reason is b/c the tanks that form the gun do not detach in the first version of the leader.
