Hasbro Transformers Masterpiece Bumblebee Released in Canada for $120

Posted by william-james88 Jun 15, 2016 at 2:04pm CDT 22,676 views
Yours truly, fellow Seibertron staffer William-James88, went to Toysrus today to confirm a rumour involving Hasbro's release of Masterpiece Bumblebee. Sure enough, I was shown the locations where this toy is now available in Canada, along with the SKU# and price.

As of today, Hasbro's Masterpiece Bumblebee is in the stockrooms of Canadian Toysrus stores in:

British Columbia
Saskatchewan
Alberta
Manitoba

The SKU# is 819867 and it is priced at $119.99 CAD. Just to give a perspective, Masterpiece Bluestreak sold for $89.99 CAD last year and Takara's MP Bumblebee was sold for a range of ¥4,500 - ¥6,000 from Japanese retailers when it was first issued.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

We already knew it would be 64.99$ in the US. That was revealed in January:

We didnt know how much it would sell in Canadian. But this price, 120, is 92$ USD, which is nonsensical.

Yep. Still glad I got Takara's Bumblebee last year. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if TRU jacked up the price in the US as well.

Yep, 120 $ for this figure is expensive. I bought the Takara import from a local store when it came out and I paid around 105$ with taxes.

Y'know, I defend these MP/Platinum prices quite a bit. But 120 CAD for Bee, is goddam highway robbery :michaelbay:

You know, I wonder if that mistransformation is on purpose. It does show off the Volkswagen symbol when that part of the hood isn't properly tucked away, and Volkswagen isn't called out anywhere else on the front of the box. Might this be part of the licensing deal between Hasbro and VW?

Oh boy! Another chapter of who the hell is actually in the exosuit! :lol:
Though, actually now we've had the exosuit officially released as both Spike and Daniel now.

Wow, that's quite the jacked up price. People could have imported him for around US$45 shipped when he first came out in Japan.

Huh? I thought the exosuit that came with Bumblebee was Spike since they were together in the movie, and Daniel was with Arcee. What's the other release of the exosuit coming from? Which masterpiece was that?

THe one that came with the Takara Bumblebee was Daniel. This Hasbro Bumblebee has him labeled as Spike instead.

I remember a pages long debate over who was in the exo-suit of Takara's MP Bee. This one is named right on the box, in English.

Regardless, they're both indistinguishable pieces of melted butter, so who cares >:oP
