Bmaximum Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Your a tranny fan right? Actually I started out a fan of transformables. For the most part it really didn't matter the toy line. When I was young my family really didn't have the money to get me army dudes and vehicles to put them in, I opted for toys that could be both. As it turned out some were cool (transformers) and some not so much (convertors, go-bots etc...), it really didn't stop me from liking the ones that weren't so cool tho. I actually owned the Ovelon Gazette variant in the convertors line and got mad praise for it, only to have it stolen about a week after buyin it, I wasn't the only fan...Gi Joe was out of the question because even though the action figures themselves were somewhat inexpensive they almost certainly required accessories and vehicles which costed alot more and broke far more easily. From a parental perspective I can see why I did't get any Joes. In the end I am a fan of both Macross and the transformers (80's) toyline. Hope that answers your question!

I have already seen evidence to state that the sticker sheets were different even among the Mat jetfires much less between the Mats and the later releases...you have an original Mat JF and all it had was the trusty gun clip? Thanks for answering before and thanks for any answer in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmpulse Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 But was it one of the first releases? it's impossible for me to be 100% sure. however, i received it for christmas the first year it was released in the states. i will say this. even as a small child i was fanatical about keeping up with accessories and keeping my toys in the best condition possible. so if the version i received came with missiles i would have remembered and would still have them. if you know of any markings i should look for to determine the version i have tell me and i'll check it out and hit ya back. maybe that will give you more of the info you seek. i wish i knew more/could offer more assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for answering before and thanks for any answer in advance. The Jetfires never came with missles. Even the gun didn't have the spring in it to fire the missles. I have three jetfires, one with macross kite as a sticker, one with macross kite painted on, and one with no kite. I don't remember if the jetfire with the sticker on the wing came with a macross kite sticker on the sticker sheet. I heard somewhere before that there was such a version, but I never saw pictures so I don't know if that exists or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobizon Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yeah, I was the one who wrote that analysis of Jetfire variations. Notice that it's attributed to Ginrai. Now, if you want to get extremely detailed, you need to list the transitional units, where parts-changes started drifting between units(running production changes). This means that, technically, (if you were Ginrai) you would need to own seven jetfires to cover all the bases :-) Nice work Ginrai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquilon Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Here's the 1/48 "Masterpiece" Jetfire I made for a buddy of mine. Stickers from Reprolabels. I had one of those - still had all parts + stickers + box. Wound up eBaying it off in 1999 (?) or so - sold it for something like $350 which was and still is some serious coin.....

pondo Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Anyone know where I can find myself a jetfire? Did anyone ever re-release it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh, you're *that* Ginrai? (it's a decently common name among the whole robot-TF-mecha community) (that, or you post at a LOT of places) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET7 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Anyone know where I can find myself a jetfire? Did anyone ever re-release it? if jetfire G1 (by hasbro/takara).. you might find a couple or so in ebay.. if jetfire TF (Micheal Bay version of jetfire looking like a pussy cat SR-71 Blackbird).. there are lots of it in malls/stores/online sites sooo many. if jetfire TF (Takara/Tomy Henkei) - malls/stores/online sites still plenty around. if jetfire TF (Classics/Universe) - malls/stores/online sites soo many. i was hoping MP (masterpiece tf line) would re-lease a G1 Accurate Jetfire mold..

Lott Sheen Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) One more Jetfire owner who saw Robotech before I bought the toy. I was an 80s kid but never a transformers fan, (the fights were so lame and the story was so boring with the exception of the animated movie), Jetfire was the only transformer I ever had or wanted because like many other fans here deep down inside I knew what it really was, even when I was 8 years old and didnt even know that Macross was Japanese or that consumer product companies bought and sold each others products before they were branded.

Ginrai Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, I'm the Ginrai who ran the website Masterforce.org and I was using the name in the '90s so it wasn't that common when I started using it. But yeah, I'm the same Ginrai who posts crap on CollectionDX pretty regularly these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good toy collecting read, IMHO since day one. Also do you have an archive of your masterforce website goods, I thinhk that will really help out BMAX. And it won't hurt to check it out for nastalgia reasons too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can all see by the collection I posted earlier in this thread I am a fan mainly of the transformable genre stemming mostly towards Macross and Transformers. ANY new input is always appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
