After reading all the good things about him, I think I'm going to cave in and order UN Jazz and Tracks, the RtS ones are becoming impossible to find. It seems most stores around here only received 1 of each and they are all gone already.
And I figured the price difference between ordering RtS or United, online is pretty minimal.

Yep, United Jazz is the real deal. I've had it for 3 weeks and I'm still jazzed. He makes older classics like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker look pretty dated. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the pin head.

I find both RTS and UTD Jazz were hard to find online -- I just settled with whichever version I found first, which happened to be RTS.Originally Posted by Fonecrusher

Yeah United Jazz seems to be sold out EVERYWHERE, it's ridiculous. Still I've found a few places selling him for about US$25 and I'v bookmarked them hoping for a restock.
But I'm still kicking myself since I had both RtS Jazz and Tracks in my hands, but didn't have the money for either and then couple days later they were gone.

Probably get the RTS because it's cheaper. But if you do want United Jazz (any united for that matter)- I suggest you grab it IMMEDIATELY because all United has been sold out/hard to find now/ reaching insane prices- read HD's blog to see how crazy it is in Hong Kong-

Wisest words of the week, gdmetro. I literally bought the last UN-Jazz & UN-Scourge from RK before they sold out! It seems that if you so much as blink, you'll either miss out or be paying much more later down the line. If you're hesitating, you're probably better off buying it then selling it again later if you change your mind...Not like they're going to depreciate, well...Ever!
I just feel sorry for those who've decided to collect the Classics only recently. That's one helluva expensive back catalogue, and they're only a few years old!

I'm not gonna pay $57 for a Deluxe, that's just silly. And especially now that I have RtS Jazz. I'm going overseas soon, so if I happen to find a United Jazz at RRP, and there's nothing else I wanna buy, then I might get it. But otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with RtS Jazz... while I can see UTD is better, I don't think RtS is horrific.
Does UTD Jazz still have the issue of the chest not locking in robot mode?

I agree its silly Gok- and thus my advice to go for the RTS one now. United has been in so much demand in HK (from HD's observation). Even popular Generations waves which are normally cheaper in HK than Aussie retail have reached prices that equal or EXCEED aussie retail.
But if one desperately wants United Jazz and won't compromise- based on current trend, I think it's best to pick one up (even at inflated cost) instead of waiting- because it doesn't look like the price will go down anytime soon.
The truth is those who wanted united, most likely already got them from the onset at the online RRP- but those who sat on the fence are pretty much going to have to pay these secondary market prices or go for the RTS version.
One may possibly be lucky and find some at big retailers in Asia somewhere for RRP before any scalpers get to it. That would be one way- could be others that I can't think of.
As for the Jazz's chest- there is no actual locking mechanism- I don't have the RTS version, but I'm assuming they are the same mould. Personally its not a problem since I merely display- but I can see the annoyance if one is playing with the figure.
