Anyway, bee looks nice, makes me want a Premium Finish Camaro Bee now.

That, I'm well aware. After seeing Emgo's video review, the only unpleasant part is to deal with the top shell of the car. Appart that, it doesn't seem too bad.

That's such a strange thing to do. Nobody is going to care if he looks dead and there is that other dark yellow Seeker in the show that looks a little like this. You'd think they'd realize that pic would just cause confusion.
Anyway, decided to go with BBTS, the price is only slightly higher than AmiAmi and for some reason Amazon Japan isn't reducing prices like they usually do.

The reduced Amazon japan prices sometimes only kick in a week later

The decos... I can't decide if I think they're boring... Or just lame.
It's going to be very interesting to see how long this line lasts.

Maybe for Optimus. But if you genuinely say that Bee's paint is "lazy" and "boring", you're not paying attention at all.

Great comparison. Would DC ever stop pushing Batman on us? Don't think so.
But I don't see what the issue is. It means that even though we are comparing 35 year old characters to 80 year old ones, in the eyes of today's kids, both are as popular. That is an amazing achievement for the Transformers brand we love so much.

The issue is that Transformers is about 2 massive armies. Not just 1 character. Same with GI Joe. GI Joe is about 2 armies, not just 1 character Snake Eyes. If DC wants to push Batman that's fine, Batman is just 1 character. But even if Snake Eyes, Wolverine & Bumblebee are popular, that doesn't mean they have to take over the entire franchise. They all became popular as members of a team & they should stay that way. We don't need this artificial PUSHING that Hasbro keeps doing. Bumblebee, Wolverine & Snake Eyes shouldn't have their own movies. My favorite Autobot is Wheeljack, when am I going to get a Wheeljack movie? Why doesn't Hasbro push Wheeljack? He's popular too.
Hasbro has been releasing 50 million toys of Bumblebee every year since 2007. But they refuse make 1 Ransack, Venom, Barrage, Squeezeplay, Fangry, Horri-bull, Joyride, Pointblank or Slapdash. Or any of the Pretenders. And what about 3rd party? They won't make those characters either.
The direction Hasbro took the franchise is just plain stupid! Now everything revolves around Bumblebee. He has his own movie, he has his own toy line, Bumblebee Adventures, now he has another toy line, Buzzworthy Bumblebee. When is this insanity going to end??? There will come a time when everybody finally gets sick & tired of Bumblebee. And I can't wait!

Exactly. I'm so sick an tired of hearing people complaining about Bumblebee that I'm actually at the Hospital on my deathbed.
Bumblebee is the "gateway drug" for Transformers. Get the kid interested in the franchise first. Then the kid will notice the rest of that universe and get interested in other characters. Same thing for the Bay movies.
It's thanks to Bumblebee and the Bay movies that we are now in the BEST Transformers times since ever with all these "mini Masterpieces" in both the Generations and Studio Series lines. That includes Movie toys as well. Plus most exclusive repaints are now easy to access and there's more than ever thanks to the Select line.
Jesus. It's like complaining that "dad is never home and always at work" when he's the only one working and supporting the ungrateful family by giving them their super comfortable lifestyle.

No interests because you already own the molds, or the molds are not interesting enough to pay extra?
On my end, I skipped on SS18 because it looked too bland but this version here is just what I needed.
