Ok, first off...the durability of this toy shouldn't be a part of anyone's expectations and of course there is no real educational value to this toy.
I am rather pleased with my purchase (bought locally). I also had the G1 Jetfire, so this was a must have for me! I'm not fond of the this version's character, but I like Jetfire nonetheless. I think the Blackbird is a fitting form for Jetfire.
Anyway, this toy is a difficult piece to transform in terms of keeping the breakaway pieces from breaking away! No big deal though, it pops back on just as easily as it came off...you'll see what I (and others have noted) what pieces will come off often. Aside from the pieces on JetFire's head area, the rest are fairly easy to manipulate and don't pop off. For a leader class, JetFire is easy to transform compared to Optimus Prime (I don't have Megatron), who btw is a frustrating piece (but he's a must have too!)! I love the fact that JeftFire and Optimus Prime converge! It's a bit tricky to get the two together and you'll have to tweak the legs a little once you do get them together, but their new form is fantastic! Not an articulate pairing, but I didn't expect it to be and you shouldn't either.
Prime stands roughly 1 - 1.25 inches taller. The arms can be posed, but the legs are pretty much static when converged. I would have added my own pics, but the pics provided above sum mine up pretty well (good job btw!).
Optimus Prime has really good articulation, but not so much in terms of JetFire. Well, he can, but he's top heavy and he'll just topple over anyhow. That's ok though as he is an old transformer afterall! lol In jet form, he is 17.75 inches from the tips of the nose and tail along with a wing span of 9.75 inches! So, have a spot ready to take up the space if you set him down in jet form. I'm almost tempted to keep Prime and JetFire connected to save space...nah. lol.
I recommend JetFire and while you're at it get Optimus Prime too! Both are must haves!

As you all may know, Jetfire is the most sought-after figure in the ROTF toy line, and his features absolutely justify it. Pretty much everyone else covered the main points, so I'll just list the pros and cons.
Pros:
- Transforms into an SR-71 Blackbird. (One of the sickest aircraft designs in history.)
- Robot mode is very accurate to the film version, such as the hunched-over posture, head, and cane.
- Alt mode is huge. The Blackbird is at least 18 inches long and looks amazing on your shelf, details and all.
Cons:
- The toy has an odd blue body, while in the movie it was solid black.
- Transformation is fairly difficult. Seriously. I spent over 20 minutes looking at the instructions before I finally pulled it off.
- There is quite a bit of kibble underneath, which kinda sucks. However, the alt mode is so massive that in the end it's really not that bad.
Simply put, grab this figure as soon as you see him (or you'll be waiting for weeks until he restocks, and even then you'll have to be lucky). Hopefully they make a premium/voyager version that justifies the cons, but overall the pros outweigh everything else. You won't be disappointed.

I don't think I would have gotten this figure if I hadn't seen Optimus combining with Jetfire in the movie. Now that I have him in my hands, as ugly as he is (he's an old man-ish transformer), he's starting to grow on me.
One of the things that I have to say is that these Transformers today are a lot more complicated and delicate as compared to the Transformers back in the 80's. Jetfire is no exception.
These toys are meant for collectors and adults, and kids with gentle hands. Don't give these to excited kids - they'll snap off the arms by accident and be done with it.
Anyway, the first time I transformed him, it took me over an hour. The trickiest part for me was being able to combine the arms together to form the cockpit of the plane. But once I got that down, it was pretty easy. I can now transform the thing in less than 3 minutes. You just need to be aware of the nuances of the hinges and little twisty joints for the arms and legs.
The one thing I notice is that the plane curves a bit. Not sure why this is, but it doesn't go completely straight like how a real plane would. This happens to be the way it is manufactured though - I mean look at the stock photo on this page! Can you see the slight curving of the plane?
YAY or NAY? YAY - it's pretty solidly built, a little tricky to transform in the beginning, and provided you're careful enough, won't break. The plane mode is pretty awesome too, even though it curves a bit.

Wow, what an awesome product. What detail there is to it. It also very easy to pose once you tinker with it and figure out. It also extremely easy to Transform, especially when you put in comparison to Optimus Prime and Mix Master. Some of the pices snap of really easily while transforming the figure, however that is to prevent any pieces breaking, you can easily snap them back on. I just can't believe what a great job Hasbro did with this product. In Vehicle Mode his parts aren't very well concealed however, and when in Vehicle mode he is very long.
Now I already had Optimus Prime, so what a great surprise to learn that you can put both of them together just like in the movie. It is very easy to prep both fugure to combine, however it was pretty difficult for me to actually put them together. This is because it is an extremely tight fit. Once I put them together it looked great. Do not expect to pose the figure once you put them together, the legs are locked in place.
Overall a great figure to purchase. I would recommend this for anyone who loves Transformers, you won't be dissappointed.
