I live in Florida--the Bay Area specifically--and the 2008 Bumbles are NOWHERE to be found! Have they not yet gotten a wide release stateside or Florida in general? Is he the rarest of the movie toys, so far? Is there a good place to pick one up online?

If someone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Help please!
He looks awesome.

As an addendum to my post--bigbadtoystore.com does have them for pre-order--coming out in July. I guess I should just be patient. :oops:

Yeah hang in there, they should be out shortly. Today I spotted some S7s, a new batch of Leader Megatrons and Primes, and Dreadwings.

I picked up the Target exclusive Arcee today as well...she is an awesome figure IMO.

Oh and the hardest figure to find thus far is generally cosidered Voyager Megatron. The icy bastard isn't anywhere in any real quantities.

Whoever here said that TF's would be scarce(r) after the movie released was right. The pegs were scant today at TRU and all that was left were Brawls and Scorponocks.

You aint lying! since the movie I havent seen any Starscreams, 78 Bumblebees Ironhides or Blackouts.

And Voyager Prime and Meg have been MIA for weeks.

I'd hang in there on Megs too, there is a completely new Voyager assortment on the way that includes Prime, Megs, White Ratchet, and Thundercracker. I'm sure they will start showing up once the new Deluxes are in wide distribution.

I said they would be scarce after the movie came out. And, oh my goodness, nothing but empty pegs and shelves except for Protoforms and Scorpunoks.

Two Wal-Mart's are pretty slim pickings right now, and one of them even had a display shipper; there's not a Blackout or an Ironhide to be found at either store. Leader Optimus is hard to find, and the Robot Heroes are getting picked through a lot. The one I got my 5-pack from no longer has any in stock, and I can't even find the Optimus/Ravage 2-pack anymore. Sadly, no one is really touching the Real Gears...with the exception of Laserbeak/Booster.

End of the month most probably or early August.
