3 to 4 times more affordable. Missing display stands but the figures are not lacking in weight and having slightly dull colors. Not forgetting missing instructions are not a concern, as Go-Lion can be transformed and combined easily.
The first plastic model that I needed to keep track of the numbers of runners on a note book.
I would not recommend this build for folks that are busy, the smallest part in the model is smaller than 5mm by 5mm. Do not get kids involved in this build. The instructions are not as intuitive as mainstream Bandai Spirits branded plastic models.
With that said, the model build instructions are thick, 81 pages thick.
Completed all white plastic model does not do justice to the details of the plastic models.

One of the main reason getting both Leader Class Optimus Prime and Leader Class JetFire is both Leader class toy can combine to form Powered-Up Prime. Contrary to the combinati0n, in the Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) movie Powered-Up Prime is form after JetFire sacrifice himself to allow its body to beef up Optimus Prime weaponary and giving flight capability to Optimus Prime in the ROTF movie climax.

One compound word to describe JetFire in the Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen movie, Old Geezer. In the movie JetFire was a former Decepticon and grew tired of war.
