hey, this is ROTFarcee, im wondering, how awesome is the dotm leader bumblebee? im planning to buy the deluxe mold, but is the leader worth picking up as well? i would have to sacrifice and not get sentinal or ironhide (or maybe have to wait until christmas) so considering, should i get it? or should i just stick w/ the deluxe class b.b?
-thanks.

Leader Bumblebee is not worth sacrificing Sentinel Prime or Ironhide. They are both superior figures to Bumblebee.

I would get the deluxe BB and leader sentinel.
But if your a huge (!) BB fan I would recommend to switching to leader BB and voy. ironhide (also a pretty nice mold)

Ironhide and Sentinel are currently beating Bumblebee with Hard Iron.

I'd just get the deluxe. The leader is good, but it doesn't do anything a smaller figure couldn't.

Smaller figures of Bee have better proportions. Let's be honest: leader Bee is a hunchback.

Get one of the other leaders.

If you really need a big Bumblebee, check the clearance aisles of Walmart for Battle Ops Bumblebee, which is roughly the same size but is a thousand times better. Cheaper to boot, "clearance" you know?

I've got both DOTM deluxe and leader BB; had to: he's the 2nd most populace variant in my TF collection (OP = #1)

I'd say either run w/ this idea or wait a bit. The leader will go on clearance later and you can get him cheaper.

ok. im definately going to get leader sentinal. i'll wait and see for the leader b.b, i will definately pick up deluxe bee (along w/ 5-6 other deluxes) and i still need to pick up a rotf mold leader optimus. hmmmm. which one to buy first...

I have the leader class and trust me, it is terrible. Pick any of the deluxe class. If you really want a bigger size, certainly go with Battle Operations. If you want the medium size, go with HA version.

Sorry to be so blunt, but leader bee is a hunk-o-shyte!
Unless you've got MAD Custom Ideas for him, not worth a penny towards his purchase. Human alliance on the other hand, now THATS a bumblebee.
