Posted by Hotrod Thu Aug 02, 2007 5:11 pm

We have news about a new sighting in the United States. We have received several reports that Transformers Movie Ultimate Bumblebee is out. So far all the sighting have been at Target stores where the figure is set to be an end cap item. Please remember to report all your Transformers sightings in the Seibertron.com Sightings Section.

An end cap is the shelves on the end of an aisle.

When you go down the main store aisle, heading towards the toy department, you'll see all the aisles with the toys and as you turn to head down those aisles, you'll see a small display at the end of each shelving unit.

That's what's called an end cap. The items resting on it (usually for promotions, new items, etc.) are known as end cap items.

I thought these would hit the ground just before Christmas...guess I heard wrong.

It does not matter...it is not like I am going to pay $90 for this thing, anyway. The price is a bit steep for the lack of detail, IMHO.

For those of you whole love Bumblebee, rejoice (if you have the spare cash)!!!

Here's a review...

Why can't people ever get the damn chest right? Seriously. It's not that hard to figure out "Oh wow, it matches the movie model. Damn."

Idiots. >_<

Not long before it is in CANADA then! Only prob is that we will pay $109.99 + 16% tax for it. Almost worth a trip to the US to get it cheaper. Common post on many threads here with TF toy pricing. Really pisses me off though. At least we are not alone. Euro fans are just as unlucky!

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Here's proof he's out and about.

Got him at a Walmart in Arlington, Tx about 12:15am. If I waited till the next day I'm sure he'd be gone because they come in 2 per box and they only had one box of him.

$127.59 (USD) to be exact. Ouch. 16% tax. O_o

With the price in my state here being $84.67 after 6% tax.

That's a difference of $42.92 (USD) (or $45.36 CAD)...

It's not fair, and you guys and gals shouldn't have to suffer with such terrible prices. I know that the cost of living (and everything involved) has gone up...but come on. This is crazy.

here, from the local eBay sellers, it costs about 6,500 pesos to start a bid for this toy. that's about $ 143.00. that ISN'T fair.

it's stupid that he should cost roughly about the same as a MP-01. heck, the DVD prime's way cheaper than this and much better. better articulation and playability.

he's not even that good. i mean, his windows aren't even made of transparent plastic. no die-cast parts. he's got some electronic moving parts that are liable to break down in the future. and of course...look at the CHEST...urgh. :-x

deluxe 08 BB's much better.
all the comments above are the HUMBLE OPINIONS of the said user only. 'nuff sed.

All I've seen lately is BeatMix, and they can keep it.

I'm not excited about this figure, the features are terrific, but for the price, it just doesn't look right to me.

Also are there any plans to release some bots with their BattleMode faces?
