There isnt even a price break for getting all 3!?! That's crap. Im preordering just avoid hunting hassles but i am a little disappointed in BBTS.

[worldsgreatest]

Dont get too discouraged. With that case breakdown it looks like finding him at retail should be easy.

The only one I want is Arachnid. But if it comes down to payin $60 just to get her I will have to pass. Don't love the other 2 figs enough to justify it. Sucks that BBTS is working this way. Unless another store has my back I doubt my area will ever see these (we haven't even seen wave 2 yet..)

Have you never shopped there before? Aside from clearance sales, everything at BBTS is priced higher than retail. You're paying for the convenience of preordering.

If they didn't sell them in sets they'd sell out of Shockwaves be stuck with an excess of Primes and Jazzes. I can understand it.

I'm going to try and wait for these at retail. If they're the first wave of the series they shouldn't be that hard to get. I might skip on Prime too because he looks nowhere near as cool as the WFC version, which I already have.

still amazed that that Prime is so terrible. It's like they took the great design from the first game, made an 8-bit version of it, and then got a kid to draw it in crayon, then photographed the drawing from space, and used that as the blueprint for this character model.

They probably just made him easier to transform than the WFC version. That thing was a pain in the @ss!

The only one I am interested in is Shockwave. I need him for the Classics shelf.

Is it possible that the FoC line might not have a Bumblebee figure at all?!

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).

As far as these three go, I may get a version of Shockwave as he'd fit well in a classics line-up, but no way I'm spending money on Optimus or Jazz.

[gavinfuzzy]

if I can sell off my DOTM Shockwave I will be getting this version! I can't stand duplicates in my collection.

Are you saying you only have one version of each character in your collection? Like, you only have one Shockwave, one Bumblebee, one Optimus, etc.?

That is a stupid rule, i learnt the hard way after missing TFA Bumblebee, Starscream, and Classics prowl, Megatron, Starscream... It took a great deal of effort to hunt back classics prime and bee, and animated jazz...

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

Aww, but I wanted a battle damaged nearly-dead Bumblebee like in the trailer *sad face*
