Did Jetfire ever come with long rockets that you could put into the end of the gun?
Mine didn't come with them but I don't think I was the first person to open up the Jetfire I bought either.

No he didn't. You can see a full list of what he came with in the shop here. I also have his instruction book and it ios not stated there either.

Oh! Well at least I know that they weren't not included in the box.

The Macross Valkyries have missiles you can load on the gun; Jetfire is an adapted version of the VF-1S version of those with a rounded nosecone. Maybe you are asking because in Jetfire's box, the picture shows it with a missile. However, that's a preproduction, and the missiles and canopy shield (which is also shown on that picture) were not continued to the Transformers version of the Valkyrie.

Actually, there WAS a repro parts guy that made both the rifle-missiles and the missle clusters that clip under the wings. Unfortunately, he has disappeared off the face of the earth, and likely taken all his priceless molds with him.
www.transrepro.com was the site. I could make about an $80 order from there, between custom/upgrade parts i wanted, and repair kits. etc.

Oh, that site is AWESOME! I was just telling Abominus it would be cool if someone made repros of parts, and there it its! Too bad there's no Omega Supreme clips.

No. And if they do, the service sucks, as I mailed them more than six months ago and no reply.

It is a cool looking site! Maybe someone shut him down because of copyright or registered trademark issues?

No, the guy had medical issues. SUPPOSEDLY, some buddies were helping him get the site back up and running, but apparently never did. If nothing else, i wish he'd pass his molds to someone else to keep producing that stuff.

Yeah, when has Hasbro ever been able to hold on to either trademarks or copyrights?
