I was going to put a laughing smiley and say you're being ridiculous, but now you mention it, it does speak volumes that he's not in the first or second waves (as far as we know).

There's really no need for a Bumblebee. As far as I can tell, the same character model from WFC is being used in FOC. They could repack him for FOC, but if they're smart, they won't. lol

You're right that there's no need for a FoC Bumblebee. But then again, was there any need for this?

And that's a tame example.

Of course there was! Something needed to keep the shelves warm and comfy. They get lonely too!



In all seriousness, I agree with Autobot032 with " " No more Bumblebots! >.<

Don't misunderstand me, I have no desire to see another Bumblebee on the pegs either. But it'd really surprise me if the money spinners at Hasbro don't push to turn our toy aisles yellow.

WOW! these new pictures make me want them even more especially Prime!

Thinking about pre-ordering the case of 3 set, can anybody tell me if its worth it to upgrade to collectors grade for 6.00 dollars more? or is standard grade just as fine... 47.99 vs 53.99

No, no we did not. I realize he sells, but if other toys were pushed, they might sell too. Variety is the spice of life and all!

Haha. No, no, don't worry. I think its a given most people would be happy to see Bee vanish (or at least have the number of representations significantly cut), but, as you said, Hasbro is milking him for all he's worth.

We'll jsut have to wait and see what they do with the little bugger.

In my experience with BBTS the "collectors" thing is kind of a touch and go joke. The upgrade just means they make sure you get near-mint box, but usually you get one anyway. They pack really well too (dunno if you've ordered from them before). Only once did they send me a figure (FE Cliffjumper no less) with enough packing tape wrapped around his box (yes, the box itself) to keep the Titanic afloat. FE Bulkhead, who was in the same shipment was pristine however, so go figure. That's the only time they sent me something that was just dumb. Otherwise everything has arrived in good shape.

I wouldn't object to him being there, just don't overpack him....

It's actually a positive thing that he's not in the first wave!

I agree, everyone would be complaining if it was a duplicate from WFC. In car mode he kinda looks like War Within Prime. I would know cause I have that version of Prime plus 63 other versions of Prime.
