The last 3 weeks at Wal-Mart I've seen these Bumblebee packs for sale and I haven't seen them exactly flying off the shelvs so I thought they'd be there for a while.

Boy was I mistaken, this week they were gone now I'm kinda wishing I grabed one when I first seen them there.

You probly weren't aware of this as I haven't mentioned it too offten but when I was a kid first starting on Transformers Bumblebee was my favorite character on the show. I had his original toy and lost it in a move.

Even though non of the Bumblebees in that pack were really the original I'd still like to have them. I haven't owned a Bumblebee sence the original.

There were so many of these at $30 i don't believe they were flying off the shelf. If I had to guess, the Walmarts probably just moved them to the warehouse in the back so there's a 50/50 chance that you'll see them again. Maybe even on clearance.

Just do site to store pickup so you don't have to pay shipping.

Yea, something similar happened to me too. One day there's a big display dealy stacked with these three packs, then they vanished. Later I found them in a completely different section of the toys, kinda tucked away from the rest of the figures. Guess I'd suggest taking a thorough stroll through the toy section. If you can't find it then, order it on the walmart site.

i just paid $20 for animated starscream, and i should have spent the few extra bucks to get that 3-pack instead. huge mistake. don't know what i was thinking.

If I do see them again in a different place or on clearance I'm going to buy one, maybe 2 if I can afford it. (I'd like to have one MIB the other I'll actully open.) If I don't see them returning I'll order off the web site.

I'll allso ask people I know who work there if they can score me an employee discount.

Given that Classics/Henkei Bumblebee is between $23-$30 to buy online, thanks to artificial fandom markups, the set is a good deal.

They are warming the shelf here. I want the classics repaint but not the other two. So i'm torn about buying it.

I would have bought it but I couldn't find one where the paint on ALL THREE FIGURES didn't look like total crap. It looks like they gave the figs to a 2 year old to paint.

that and the packages have been beaten up pretty bad around here.

Paint looks fine to me.

I personally love this legacy of bumblebee 3 pack. I bought two of them one to open, and one to keep sealed. As mentioned before getting the classics bumblebee alone is worth the price of this package imo. I even did a quick video on this 3 pack if anyone is intrested.

Take Care!

WM's around here still have a bunch on these, it surprised they haven't been marked down already. My local WM had about six Ultimate BB's from that same promotion. I was waiting hoping these would end up on clearance, but overnight their on shelf stock went to one. I'm 99% positive they didn't sell these, I live in a small town. I can't imagine that overnight that many people decided to shell out $85.00 for these. I'm hoping they just got put in the back because they take up so much shelf space and they may still end up on clearacne sicne I never bought one of these the first time around.

The Walmart by me had a bunch of these 3 packs for about 25 bucks just last friday.

If you want I can pick one up for you.

Dude I'm sorry...I hit "shift" by mistake.

Its 25 bucks not 5 bucks.

Ether way I'm guessing shipping to must of the U.S. will be around 6 or 7 bucks.

It's kinda weird. When Classics Bumblebee first came out I didn't really want him because I was kinda put off by the weird boat he was toeing that transforms into a jet pack. Never really noticed the robot mode looks more show accurate to G1 than his original toy till now. The boat jet pack thing still kinda turns me off a little which is why I struggled so long with actully buying it.

Movie Bumblebee, well I hate most of the actual movie designs but the toys don't look to bad except for the heads. Without his face mask I think Bumblebee looks like G1 Prime when BW Megatron blasted his face off. There was a "Stealth Bumblebee" where the head mold had him with the face mask on but that one I thought was porly painted. The one in the 3 pack I belive is a repaint of that Bumblebee and I like this paint job better than his original.

Animated Bumblebee, well even though I like the cartoon I still don't like the designs. Still he seems to have a more show accurate paint job than the single version. His stingers and thrusters aren't painted in clear blue plastic. This one's just kind of a bonus.

The other thing I noticed is that all 3 seem to have been given matching yellew and black paint schemes which I allso like.

So basically they took 3 figures that originally I had no interest in, repainted them, packaged them togeather, and made me want them. As I just exsplained I don't like any of their original paint jobs.

I don't really like the designs of 2 of them but Movie's is made up in the fact that I like the toy versions better than the screen versions and he looks good in the mask. Animated is made up in that even though I hate the design I still like the character.

The pack has it's up and down points but it's really renewed my intrest in Bumblebee. As I said in my original post I haven't owned a Bumblebee figure sence I lost my original G1 Bumblebee in 1990.

Hopefully my Wal-Mart will do what so many others here did and put them on clearance at a later date. I'll be checking again this weekend and if I can find someone I know that works there and they're still in back somewhere I'll try and talk them into grabing one for me.

Well I just got back from Wal-Mart. Didn't see them there and actully asked someone in Toys about them and suposidly there's non left.

I kinda doubt that considering they'd been sitting there for 3 weeks before they dissapeared. It didn't look like any of them were ever bought and considering how Wal-Mart at least in my area normally fails to keep shelfs stalked I doubt they kept reloading the shelfs for 3 weeks. It's more like them to keep the shelfs empty for 3 weeks.

Anyway, I'll probly order online. Maybe try e-bay. I think I'll wait a little while longer for either prices to drop or Wal-Mart to get a new suply. Mostly I'm waiting till pay day.

No kidding, when I bought mine a months ago, I literally had to check each one on the display to see which one had the least amount of paint errors. I did find one that was almost perfect and buy it.

This is the second time I've heard paint complaints... I wasn't trying to ryme... Post pictures if you can, I wanna see what you're talking about.

The one's I seen are much better painted than their original "sold seperatly" counterparts as far as I could tell.

This 3-pack has been warming the shelves since they first got it in at my local Walmart. Nobody seems to want this set. If they just dropped it to $24.99, I think it would sell quickly.

That's what I paid for my set, but that only seems to be at 1 of the 3 walmarts between home & work.

Go figure.

I also had go through like 5 or so to find a decent set of paint. Way to overspray!

all of them in rochester, mn look like garbage. the movie bumblebee in particular. really bad paint apps on that guy. i would almost buy it just for the classic, but i can't justify the purchase since i already have the regular movie bumblebee and the cliffjumper repaint. i'm not buying a third of that mold. also, i just hate the animated bumblebee. if he didn't have those stingers, he'd be a lot less ridiculous. one thing though; the classics bumblebee in every package i have seen has been really good. hasbro is taunting me.
