It's not a massive flaw, but it's still an annoying one.

It seems we're merging United in here as well. I opened my United Jazz last night, and the thing is a work of art! Beautiful paint apps. Elegant transformation. Stompy said it all better than I, and while I've only transformed him 2-3 times, my chest is pretty tight and does not flop around. Properly positioning the car's roof as high as possible behind it seems to only further enforce its stillness.
Definitely worth a buy for everyone at any price, but United is pure love.

I have to echo this.
United jazz is a thing of beauty. The only fig that could possibly and realistically top it is Generations/United Wheeljack. I don't understand all the fuss about the chest not locking- because it does not really flop much on mine (as Jay said).
If you can find the united version for a decent price- I say its still worth it to grab over the RTS version (the lack of paint and dirty white just does not do it for me)- although with the high demand and dwindled supply, united jazz is pretty expensive now.

And thirded, IMO Untied Jazz is the best classic style mould since Hound, possibly even better. I'm a big fan of the Prowl mould to but this is better. The crisp white plastic is great, he's even whiter and less plasticy looking than Henkei Prowl and Ratchet.
The lack of chest lock, is his only flaw and only because it seems like a small obvious improvement. mine sits pretty secure he can do a sommersault without much movement.
While I'm tempted by Generations Wheeljack, I'm going to have to get the United one after seeing Jazz's pure white finish.
I just need the other Jazz and Gappel I ordered now, eveyone should have a United Jazz.

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.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.

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!
