My (...) son absolutely loves this jet. With all of the sounds and features described in the previous reviews, the jet keeps him entertained and keeps his imagination flowing. The only feature I don't like is that so many parts, i.e. wing tips, pilot cockpit cover, and missile cover break off so easily. But they do reattach easily, and do seem to be quite durable. This jet has been dropped and stepped on quite a few times as well, and without anything breaking, so it is built well for a toy. I bought it for $5 less at Target, and overall it has been a great purchase.

I have a 7 year old and he wanted this so bad. The pull down handle is hard to get down and then to fire it you have to turn these two dials that you can actually look through like binoculars. Those dials are so hard to set where they need to be set to fire. Then the firing mechanism gets stuck repeatedly.
Now for the winds. WHY OH WHY can they not make them attached. They keep falling off and was really frustrating my son. I finally superglued them on.
The cock pit cover never stays secure and after repeatedly putting it back on it broke.
Was it worth it NO. They guy that found it for $10 got a better deal than any.
Would I buy it again..NO.
It is too heavy for a child to play with and "fly" around.
It looks nice- but that is where it stops for us.

I first saw this jet on here and wanted it so bad, but for $35 i was skeptical so i went to my local Toys R Us and saw how big it was and kinda got even more reluctant. You will love this jet as its a real detailed jet and the likes havn't been seen since the 80's and in all this is one of the best flyer i've seen in a while (i'm talking realistic planes here). I did manage to get one of these when i went to walmarts where i found it clearance for $10 so i had to get it then. Only thing it was lacking was the 2 figures (had them anyways) and the cover for the missle launchers in top which i easily made one for it. This jet has so much firepower its incredible and would provide lots of enjoyment and if your into a morerealistic feeling, the Thunderwing is for you. Honestly if I had more space, i'd buy another one even for $35, just hard when you have so little room and you have big vehicals (not that would be a problem for some people). so go and buy this at your local toys r us or from here before they are all gone!
