Gearslide wrote:Problem with modern Bee is that while kids do like him, they don't care what version they have. To him, Bumblebee is Bumblebee, Optimus is Optimus, and Megatron is Megatron. It doesn't matter from WHAT source they come from. To kids, it's the same guy, and for most kids, they can't even tell the difference between different continuities.

Well to be fair, Prime Bumblebee and Movie Bumblebee ARE the same character.

I joined the Tf collecting soon after RotF ended. Honestly, there wasn't much RotF and HftD Bumblebees on the pegs. However, Mudflap was everywhere.
No, it's starting with DotM that The Hive was clogging the pegs. I'm in Canada and I think my local TrU may skip a few RiD Prime waves because of all of the goddamn FE and PRime Bumblebees.
So ridiculous...

You know, it's mystifying when you consider that you got the FEs, while we in the US were denied them (excepting of course the limited amount of BB, Arcee, and SS TRU got), and there they sit rotting on the Canadian pegs. Bulkheads, Primes, CJ, etc. Part of that monstrous burden you have could have been sold here and thus somewhat alleviated the surplus by dividing it between our two markets. But NOOOOOO. We lose FE and instead get RID cases stuffed with BB shelfwarmers.
I cannot figure out Hasbro's business plan. It almost smacks of deliberate sabotage such is the stupudity of it. Firings need to occur stat.

Oh yes!!!!
Please please please do this, that would be so epic !
Let us show Hasbro the many tumors of this rapidly spreading and potentially malignant (if it kills sales for the TF lines) yellow cancer!
