Had gotten the first reissue of Jetfire since I missed out on his original release, glad people getting a third chance to get this guy

[@arcticdragon5823]

I remember getting mine on sale off Amazon during the first release. He was the first Transformer I had bought in years and he single handedly brought me back into collecting.

[@Duraq]

Yup, exactly what pulled me back in as well!

[@freshphilip410]

now i want a skylynx rerelease. i missed that guy and i’m really frustrated about that. he’s easily one of my favorite autobots

[@crossover1015]

And Omega Supreme too

[@windowbewbs9064]

Sky Lynx will be getting a rerelease too, its been confirmed.

[@crossover1015]

@@windowbewbs9064 good to know. I’ve been working on completing the Earthrise galaxy map. I was lucky when Scorponok was back in stock in November and I’m on a roll

I hope they reissue Siege Omega Supreme since A; I missed out on him and B; they both share equal spotlight in each of their packages.

[@Ansem458]

Seriously I need omega supreme

[@jupiter5673]

Sure he's gonna cost 200 bucks if he gets a reissue, but still having Omega Supreme return would be amazing

[@Maxshade7]

@@jupiter5673 better than the $300 he’s going for now..

[@jupiter5673]

@@Maxshade7 very true

[@neometallX]

Looks like we're getting Legacy repackage of Jetfire (without thr Battle damage paint). So..... Is everyone waiting for the Armada Jetfire to combine with Armada Optimus?

[@jacobrydstrom6565]

i never saw this figure at retail, but i did see skylinx, M-P-M Revenge of the Fallen Starscream, and M-P-M Ratchet at Target a couple years ago

[@VexNToys]

Awesome! Preordered Jetfire the other day. Missed out last time.

[@rokkieteller5421]

I still got my second release one and thankfully I don’t see any yellowing on mine and I’m happy that it hasn’t and I’m glad that jetfire is going to get another release

[@rayvenkman2087]

Let it not have the yellowing problem.

[@Archive_7802]

__ HELL YEAH!!!

[@superomegaprimemk2]

I already have him, I also have a copy of his Shattered Glass verison! I really hope Hasbro reissues Siege Skywarp, for now, Hot Link is his stand in on the pre-earth look, but it would be nice to actually have a Skywarp that pre-earth, in the form they used, but I doult it, I mean, he just suddenly showed up without any one saying he was coming out and the price was just crazy, even now, last I checked the price was silly for a voyager class

[@meowskull]

I'll take a skylinx reissue, not because I missed it the first time, but I want to use the lynx as a rocket base

[@SpeckyNation]

Skylinx was just reissued 2 weeks ago. I didn't manage to see him on a shelf, but most of the scalpers still have him only marked $10-20 above shelf price, which isn't too bad compared to how much they usually mark them up after they start to dry up... (I really don't like the idea of supporting scalpers, but these days, it's sometimes unavoidable.)

[@alphach1mp]

They need to re-release Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, and voyager coneheads but add or fix some of their articulations like ankle, wrist, and waste joints.

[@LK-oi8qi]

I love my jet fire it's one of my favorite toys but when I got mine it was a reissue from Big Bad Toy Store so I don't know if that was a issue with their stock but you know what you're talking about keep up the good work 💯

[@DJLuckeyLu]

I paid 110 for this guy second hand while Kingdom was on shelves. I'm glad people are getting the chance to get him for cheaper than I did! Wish I had waited lol

[@nathanmartin9165]

That’s great. If their was one figure I like a reissue of, it would be Astrotrain, I only saw him once in stores and we have a mega toy store in smyhts UK. And he is a crazy price now.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

With that Galaxy Shuttle on its way, I wouldn't bet on a return of Siege Astrotrain in the near future. But he's sure to get a new and smoother mold in the Studio Series in the next couple of years.

[@A-Microwave]

here's hoping gamestop canada gets the restock as well, they've been getting tons of pulse exclusives here, got my hero is born 2 pack from them

[@SpeckyNation]

Just got my Jetfire yesterday. I never for a second thought I would display him with his armor since it makes him not look like he looks in the show, and it looks bad in the promo photos, but in person, it actually looks really cool on him, so now I'm conflicted, lol!

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

Dang it, I just got this guy not that long ago for a bit above retail, how was I supposed to know Hasbro would pull a consumer friendly move.

[@ezragrun]

Preordered mine on BBTS today since I passed him up during Siege. At that time, I had no idea how quickly things would change with collecting and prices. I just thought the good times would continue to roll. I like Legacy, but it’s nothing like the early days of the WFC trilogy. 5:50 Protoman is right on the money here. A figure with this much heft won’t exist again at this price.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

Yeah. I remember when Kingdom debuted, Walmart had a huge action alley display with dozens of figures. But with Legacy, they're only ever putting out one case at a time. Which means that even general release figures can be hard to get at retail ( like Studio Series Perceptor)

[@ezragrun]

@@daviddalrymple2284 I feel like it’s only going to get harder to find mainline Legacy and Studio Series figures at retail because of store exclusives. Even with the weird trends in distribution recently, I’ve been able to spot new waves at Walmart or Target; however, my Walmart is currently packed with Velocitron deluxes (not Cosmos or Clampdown), and my Target is full of Buzzworthy figures. I’ve yet to see anything from mainline Legacy wave 2 or the more recent SS figures.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

@@ezragrun Yeah. It's like Hasbro is competing with itself for shelf space.

[@ultamitgamermike]

Next they should reissue targetmasters once sureshot comes out

[@jlashombjr]

I missed out on Grimlock because of lockdown, but am loving the other two dinobots. I'm really hoping for a rerelease, a premium finish, or new version so I can complete my set. It really seems they could do a King Grimlock version with slightly different coloring with a sword and crown instead of Wheelie.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

That would be a no-brainer.

[@SteveOh_]

Oh my god, thank you John! I was thinking the exact same thing, but I wasn't sure if anyone else dealt with the same problem

[@LeeONardo]

Honestly to get more use out of the molds I think they'll do G2 colour versions, including the missing two figs that never got the G2 treatment. I would buy Swoop on his own purely for that lol.

[@RED97ghost]

I'm so glad they did a new run of this guy. I just got my pre-order in yesterday, and I can't wait for him to come in!

[@Loremastrful]

Didn't Hasbro recently release a Shattered Glass version of Jetfire? My guess is Hasbro saw the positive response of the SG version, saw the scalpers delight in over charging for it and figured there was still some money on the table. Since the mold is already in use, it probably didn't cost much to switch from SG to original recipe. I got lucky and got one the first time around. I hope it is successful enough Hasbro/Takara might try it with more of the figures that got caught up in the supply chains/pandemic noise.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

Jetfire is the one Shattered Glass figure that sold out really quickly, which shows that people really like the mold.

[@LeeONardo]

@@daviddalrymple2284 pulse UK had him in stock for quite a while, but when Black Friday offers came by he was gone lol.

[@vxrdrummer]

I paid 50 pounds and Iwould have been happy to have paid 90 pounds as he is absolutely wonderful. I paid 90 pounds for the SG version and he is also worth every penny. I'm so glad that people who missed this guy can get him at a sensible price again.

[@Gabtool]

Hoping this comes to the UK as well, I need a Jetfire. Can we get an Siege Omega Supreme re-release as well Mr John Hasbro

[@vanhopecomedy]

That’s awesome he’s being reissued, but the MP is only months away and I’m holding out for that.

[@williammckinley1035]

If Hasbro wants to sell more of this mold, then they should re-release the Shattered Glass version too. Is this worth $90, that's for you to decide. I was lucky to get this during the Amazon Black Friday sale. I am all for Hasbro reissuing some of these blink and you missed them toys....sure we'll pay a little bit more for them, but better than paying those scalper prices.

[@LeeONardo]

They really need to reissue the Prime and Ratchet set, I was lucky to buy it when the rumor of the SG line hit so I was ready for it, but people are already sad they got these nice SG figs and no Prime for them now unless you pay upwards of £200 or more!

[@wilfordwyatt1228]

they need to reissue earthrise soundwave as well, he was a target exclusive during lockdown now costs 150 dollars

[@wilfordwyatt1228]

he's also the only soundwave that turns into a cassette player, the rest are all wierd hovercrafts

[@Yoshiedude]

Thanks proto. You helped my argument the zap megazord price isn't overpriced argument

[@ozaki99]

I still remember I pre order it from my seller and the price on that time to me consider expensive especially you are from Malaysia. I have to save money just to buy this figure. Was it worth it? Yes it is, trust me on that.

[@CDoinWork]

I have 3 of him and 2 of his SG, he’s so badass 🥳🥳🥳🔥🔥🔥

[@awesomeguy9513]

I mean siege Jetfire is a good mp stand in if you wanna save 200$. I have the SG version and it’s amazing so idk if I’ll get the reissue but if your looking for one this is the Jetfire to get

[@johngolles342]

They had better do this for his shattered glass figure too, I want that fig and comic and I’m getting close to paying a scalper 250$ for those

[@ghidotheone]

This is actually the second time they have reissued him. The first was in late 2020, after the Netflix show premiered. That's how I got mine.

[@Brainstorm_2002]

Got my pre order in from BBTS

[@katiepersons6575]

A T30 Metroplex or Selects Grand Maximus reissue would be nice. I don't even think the US got a crack at the latter. My Black Zarack is so lonely...

[@xhairstargetmaster6338]

I got another one as mine is yellowing but this one is staying in the box! But glad I got a 2nd one

[@darrenheideman2546]

Now I'm upset about how much I ended up paying for mine.

[@BoyTrain872]

Yeah the only transformers I like to see in legacy evolution is the Headmasters and Targetmasters both Autobots and Decepticons Chromedome, Sixshot, Weirdwolf, Hardhead, Twincast, Sureshot, Highbrow, Mindwipe, Brainstorm, Crosshairs, Trainbots, Apeface, Skullcruncher, Slugslinger, Triggerhappy, Doublecross, Grotusque, Repugnus, Pointblank, Peacemaker, Pinpointer, Spoilsport, Rollbar, Chase, Freeway, Searchlight, Wideload, Snapdragon, Caliburst, Misfire, Aimless, Blowpipe and Soundblaster.

[@crossover1015]

I’m hoping for more reissues like this in the future. I want Siege Skywarp, Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme, COSMOS! I mean seriously, Cosmos is sold out and he is not available in every WalMart I’ve been too and scalpers are everywhere. Cosmos needs reissued on Pulse. And there’s a lot of Studio Series figures I want reissued too, Bonecrusher in his regular colors would be nice, BB Cliffjumper, Topspin Leadfoot and Roadbuster need to be in a 3-pack, and maybe 46 Dropkick by himself would be nice.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

They're definitely going to try to find a way to bring back Cosmos. They'll probably do a minor repaint (adding in the yellow border on his chest, for example) and release him as a Generations Select figure.

[@Maxshade7]

All for it!

[@Itsbbchris]

Have him and his shattered glass twin but he’s soo good I’m tempted to buy another lol

[@sidearmsalpha]

This, Omega Supreme, and Sky Lynx are definitely worth the price. I hope they reissue Omega and Sky Lynx.

[@ScottJay01]

I got 2 of these when it first released as I wanted both skyfire and jetfire to display, I love this figure so much, touch wood neither of mine have yellowed. The customizablitly with the weapon ports and sixgun, if I had this guy has a kid man I would have played with him to death. Great bot if you missed out the first time get him!

[@mochalavender9398]

YES! YES! YES!

[@alvarocazon203]

I want a Grimlock Ss86 re release :'(...

[@rmgonzalez23]

It could be wrong but I believe the yellowing on skyfire here or jet fire is on purpose. It seems to be painted on

[@Kooster69]

For me, the reissue of WFC Siege Jetfire is great! A much cheaper alternative to Masterpiece MP-57 Skyfire.

[@ToaKoran]

When is this guy scheduled for release? Because I was really wanting to snag this guy but just couldn't financially fit him in at the time, and lost my chance to do so when I could obscenely-quickly. I don't want to lose that chance this time, especially when he's only five bucks more expensive when he originally released, which is still a deal compared to scalper prices.

Wil the yellowing happen on the new release? Mine is shipping now

[@fortressmattimus3984]

Is this release to sell off excess stock that they've had, or are they reproducing a new run of it? I wonder if it'll have the same yellowing issue as before. Either way, a cool looking figure that I won't pass up
