I concur. I could see 2 of each to keep one in package and one to play with, but why announce it after you wiped them out?

You know I totally have to agree with you on that one. I'm relatively new to all this and have been searching for certain deluxe toys for awhile....I guess I just got carried away. Has anyone else out there done what I've done, gotten all starry eyed and gone overboard? I have been reading other posts on scalpers and others buying in mass quantity I feel really bad. I sorta want to return them but it's a 30-40 mile drive north.

Lesson learned on my part...Sorry

You could offer extras to other members around your area and sell them at your cost, you will earn both honor and friends, enthusiasts like you. Cheers!

The Bumblebees, Barricades, and old figures are why I don't go to Kohl's. I went there one time, and they had a lot of rare Energon figures (Deluxe) that I was looking for at the time, but the prices were so high, I truly couldn't afford them. ($15.00!!)

Then I saw how badly they are when it comes to restocking, so I figured it would be worthless.

Good idea. My plan however is to give an unopened 74 bumblebee to an 8 year old kid who lives down below us. They are getting evicted for financial reasons and I'm sure he would love it. Maybe I'll give him the choice between BB and Barricade? Which one do you think he'll take? I actually walked downstairs with BB a few minutes ago but no lights were on.

I say he'll pick BB, reasons:
1) He's throughtout the whole movie, a faithful companion of Sam.
2) His name is Bumblebee, all kids know and can pronounce it.
3) His color is yellow just like McDonald's big yellow "M", oh kids can spot these from miles away.

Good going Sky. Happy hunting today.

Ahhh, thank you for the heads up, I went over to my local Kohls in Chicago, and picked up a '74 Bumblebee! They had about four, and some Barricades, Scorponoks, and Brawls.

I'll be back tomorrow for a Barricade, thanks again!

Nice call on Kohls, forgot that they have TFs there. Managed to grab Barricde at my local store (Lansdale, PA), had a few of him, along with Jazz, Brawl, Bonecrusher, Scoponok and Swindle. Think they had more deluxes than all the Walmarts, Targets and TRUs I've been to in the past 2 weeks combined.

Man!

Checked my local Kohls here in Orlando, and found nothing! Just alot of Wreckages, Scorponoks, A Jazz, alot of Brawls, and like 3 bonecrushers.

If you want those, they have them in the Orlando/Kissimmee The Loop Kohls
