thats is a sad mess ya got there. the only good things to come out of that hive are the FEs of cliff and screamer.

The good news is you have about 3 times as much space devoted to Transformers as any of my local stores. The bad news is....well, I think the bad part speaks for itself. If that doesn't show that the bee is not as popular as hasbro/retailers think he is, then nothing can.

You don't treat your friends very well.

ha, man i feel sorry for that poor guy

Hey now, I grabbed it because he requested it, fully knowing exactly how bad Airachnid is. xD That one's on him. Turns out Airachnid can balance just enough to do the my-hands-are-behind-my-back-and-I'm-obviously-scheming pose at least (it hides the hands and forearms). I still won't touch the mold with a ten-foot pole though, yikes.

I'm getting her just for completing the cast, I'm not expecting to like it.

Target, all of those DotM figures were Nitro Bumblebee.

By the way I live in Concord NC, which is near Charlotte.

Only 13 Bees, with an around half & half ratio between DotM and RiD.

Pfft! You are small time.

EVERYTHING AT THE REGULAR CAN17$+15%taxes.

Quoting myself just to point out a little something.

For what I can count based on the photo and the info:

27 Prime RiD Bees
+
46 mother **** FE Bees
+
13 DotM Bees.

TOTAL: 86 Bees. A real swarm.

VS

3 Prime Rid Cliffy
+
3 FE Cliffy
+
3 FE Screamers
+
24 various DotM deluxes.

TOTAL: 30 Non Bee deluxe transformers, ALL of them (maybe minus the 3 RiD Cliffy) Are old stuff.

RATIO: Almost 3 Bees for one other TF.

oh Kanrabat, I wasn't aware there was a prize for most Bees. And actually, if all 14 of those deluxes in Evil's pic are Bee, he wins on the ratio anyway.

Which is why I actually opened this thread today - to make a suggestion:

Every one of you that has gone to the effort of taking a photo and posting it here: what have you achieved? You've shared your frustration and nothing else. Please make a little more effort and send your photos to Hasbro customer care department stating where you took the picture and exactly what the problem is (just to drive home the point). If everyone does this it will at least make them think. Yes, I know, petitions don't work but this is different - this is not a petition to make a new figure but to cut down on distribution of an existing one.

Make it so.

It's going to happen. Seibertron posted that he is going to take all the photos and send them to hasbro at one time.

This is awesome. I'm so glad to be part of the anti-Bumblefungus revolution. I wonder how long it will take Hasbro to react to being flooded with images of shelves of NOTHING but Bumblebee. Xp

I'm almost scared to venture to Target after the pics I took at my local Toys R' Us...
