Here’s that other bit of release news I mentioned – Amazon’s second Transformers exclusive of the Fall season, Jetwings Optimus Prime, has also been released. This is the first time that the Supreme class Jetwings version of Optimus Prime as been available outside of Japanese import releases, and it sports a unique deco to boot.
It is also currently in stock at Amazon if you missed out on preordering and have since decided your Dark of the Moon collection needs Optimus Prime with his flight gear – click here to view the page on Amazon. Thanks for bringing this one to our attention goes to 2005 Boards member PlutoniumX.

I called Amazon and they told me that they could not honor the 52; however, they could give me a $30 certificate. I was not 100% content (yet really grateful), so when the call was almost over, I asked if I can return it. The lady said yes and processed my refund–they left me the $30 certificate. So with the certificate, I reordered it for $31 shipped.
DISCLAIMER: I had to pay back the shipping which as $12 so in all reality I paid $43 for my Jetwing. Hope this helps!

Seriously, every time I see this thread, I think, did it get even cheaper?!

As soon as it hits 29.99, count me in. I really don't want another DOTm figure, but this looks too cool to pass

I completely agree, and its great knowing your not gonna get stung by the greedy customs folk.
Its a case of not counting on a refund but if it comes happy days.

It does sound crazy, Well will be interesting if it happens, but I'm happy with the price with the tax anyway.

As crazy as it sounds I have myself actually heard of people getting refunds from Amazon for custom fees, when you place the order it says 'custom fees deposit' rather than fee so if the package slips through you can in fact get that deposit returned to you by Amazon.
It could a considerable amount of time before you would receive anything if at all, but it if you do get anything back its a pleasant little bonus.

Err what are you talking about? You don't GET your tax back, you pay tax on anything coming into the EU, but now at least it's taken out at amazon's end rather than having to pay it when it comes into the country and pay an extortionate fee.

I mentioned this in a thread in the toysection, I preordered this when it was first announced and after shipping I paid $139 for it. I chatted with amazon today and the service rep was unable to help me, I called in and spoke with a lady named Tangi and she was able to credit me back $83.71 because of the huge difference in price that I paid. Don't bother chatting and actually pick up the phone!

Lovely if you are an experienced collector – bit of a pain if you are a confused 6 year old though trying to get that thing back into truck mode.
Did any UKsters who ordered one get their tax back ?

$52? they should have just sell that in retail from the start at that price. lucky for you guys especially who still dont have this mold because this is the best toy ever release by hasbro.

Same here, I ordered it for $61
Knew I should of waited, but was afraid it might go back up in price or out of stock. Chatted with CSR, but they won't match the new price.
Good luck with your request.

I wasn't going to get one. At that price I may just go for it.

I ordered mine a week ago when it was at $61
Just emailed them to see if they'd be nice enough to give me the new sale price. I could use an extra $9 in savings, every penny counts this time of year ^^"
And if they go down to $40-$45, I'll buy a second one.

I'm seriously considering ordering another for spare parts or if nothing else, then as a gift for someone someday.

It's currently my favorite Optimus Prime toy. It's Hasbro at their best.
