I was torn between the 2.

Pretty hard, since there's no such thing. :P

Now, the CONCEPT or 09 Bumblebee has been hard to find, but getting easier.

I haven't seen him even once. I've been to three different Walmarts, KB Toys, TRU, Target, and Kohl's. Never.

There were too many to count today. A fresh shipment must've come in where I live. I still haven't got one, but I did pick up Bonecrusher, Arcee, and Swindle... finally. I'm holding out for a certain 2 pack(Voyager Prime & Bumblebee) which Argos have had in their catalogue for more than a month at this point, but have yet to stock.

I don't think there'll be any shortage of Concept Bumblebee because they probably had more than the other figures combined, and there were quite a few of the other figures. I'm just sorry I passed on '74 Bumblebee, because there's been no sign of him since the ones with the supposedly broken automorphs. :sad:

I'll have to go back for Dreadwing, but no concept Bumblebee for me. I'm too strong. I can hold out. That thing's so hyped up, I'm probably not even interested anymore.

classic camaro BB is out-of-scale compared to the other Autobot deluxes, the concept camaro BB is where it's at. I've got both tho. :D

Definitely worth getting. Like I said, he was my first Transformer, and despite a gripe or two, I love him. He's easy to Transform (unlike his counterpart...grrr) and he's a decent robot mode. But I'm a little biased.

they not hard you just have to no how to locate them. i wont even say how many i have purchased in the last 2 months, cause i dont want to hear the bitching. find a kohls in a non rural area, kohls does not put all there stuff out. they are sitting in the back.


i have only found 2 outside of kohls. one at a TRU with dropkick, payload, long arm, dreadwing. i assuming they got one case in.

and i saw a damaged box at a walmart which i didnt purchase.

I'm surprised that 74 BB doesn't get more love. I know, painted windows, big feet, but he's still a really cool toy. His automorphing legs work brilliantly, he's very posable, the doors and front wheels look awesome in bot mode, he's a great looking classic Camaro.

Just a cool toy. But I don't seem to have the broken automorph chest problems that alot of people have. I fold the chest up last when TF'ing him into car mode, kinda squeeze the whole car so the joints are all tight, and he stays locked up w/ no problems.

still have yet to see the concept BB in stores, I do really want him though, definetely looks very cool.

08 BB was a hard find. I saw the fresh cases a couple of weeks ago when I was at a Wallymart and thought I could wait the couple of hours till midnight...when they said they could sell them...

anyways, I actually bopped over to the next WM, in hopes theirs would be ready-but they had no idea new TFs were around...at my 3rd WM store I found the 08 BB. They only had one case and there wasn't an Arcee-two final battle Jazzes I think...

08 BB-still HTF...but could be getting better...
