The people need your thoughts! :-?

My thoughts are happy. While I've always like MP-11, it's never really felt like an MP.

Meteor does. Amazingly so. It's got a few flaws here and there, but over all its amazing.

Also, 'Cram continues to single handedly populate my growing Bumblebee shelf.

Got this bocpx from him on Friday.

Hooray!! I feel like I'm stuck with my MP3 based Starscream. I like him for what he is. I think the only thing I'd want is the new seeker head on him, but then I'd lose that great smirk he has. I just need that face with the new helmet design. :lol:

I'm glad your Bumblebee shelf is getting populated!

Meteor fitting in well

A small bee hive

Getting crowded, I'm gonna have to make some displaying changes.

I believe the Prime shelves are at max capacity.

The Starscream shelf doesn't have room for Studio Screamer. I'm thinking I may display the Studio figures on their own. Just gotta find a spot, and/or make room. :-?

AWESOME DISPLAY UPDATES!! I really need to get more shelving, at least another bookcase for the bots!!

I'm liking the swarm. What would be your favorite?

Meteor totes fits with that setup. Awesome awesome stuff sir!!

Some recent hauls I dont think I shared.

Holy **** that Jetfire box is big.

Cram, my favorite 'bee is the MP one. G1 of course.

They packaged Jetfire in alt mode?! That's crazy!! Nice pick ups, I'm glad Meteor lives up to the hype!!

I'm considering cutting down to just a few Bumblebees, and getting one or two more. My few OGs (Throttlebot Goldbug, Pretender Bumblebee, Action Master Bumblebee, G2 chrome Bumblebee) won't be going anywhere, and I love my MPG1, so I'm looking in to the MPM3 (by way of Legendary Toys Wasp) and maybe TLK wave 3 Bumblebee.

If you want a TLK Bee, I'd recommend going the Takara movie the best route. Prices aren't that different, the QC on Takara is much better, and you get a hammer!

That's what I was thinking too. I saw he's still at BBTS for $35, Amazon has the standard US deluxe for $32? Yeah, hammer all the way. :lol:

I literally just bought the Takara hammer bee from HLJ. Shipped, the total was less than that Amazon price.

Oh dang, that's a good price! They also have the official MPM3 in stock for not that much of a markup..hmmmmmm...

I wrote that wrong. I meant the BBTS price.

What made you spring for BM Jetfire? I'd never handled the mold before I got mine, whatya think?

I meant to say this when I got my LG Bee, but isn't his artwork freakin adorable?

Love the displays. MPtastic! 8-)

Hammer Bee... not to rain on anyone's parade, but the QC on mine doesn't feel great. He was kind of a let down for me

Get them both!

and I cannot wait for my Hammer Bee. I'm still hoping he makes it before the 77 Camaro retool ends up in my possession, which with Greatshot and his waiting period may actually happen

I haven't had a chance to take it out of box yet, but my reasoning is the same. When it originally came out with the second movie, I was not buying many figures. Back then we were saving money to start having kids.

I hope to play with it this weekend.

Damn, just realized that aside from studio series, there are only two officially made transformers left for me to buy this year. Kinda a bump year for mainline releases.
