I actually have a MISP Bumblebee in the trunk of my car that I completely forgot I had.

the bumble bee shortage is not going away , only one 08 BB comes in a case of deluxes now. so for evey 12 figures in a case, only 1 will be a 08 bumble bee.
at they are still selling with ease at 25 dolars a figure on ebay.

movie classic bumblebee

Either I have extremely bad luck or something's really wrong.
Cheers!

But they ARE getting a lot! By the way, I only bought 2 of the 20+ I've seen in the wild.

Me and a couple of my friends have run into his crew on the occasional Saturday morning at Wal-Mart or Target with two buggies overflowing with every hot toy that's currently out. Then we'd go to his store on Monday and see all the new stuff at a 110% mark-up.
One day we followed one of his guys to 6 different stores in two towns and watched him strip the pegs and pay for it all with a VISA card.
But in L.A., where you probably have 10 or more guys that do that, not only on weekends, but probably every day of the week, I can see where you're just **** out of luck, unless you want to live at all the stores at the same time and beat the vultures to the new stock at 3 AM!
