They got me..

Postby fanboy999 » Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:42 am

from the moment I heard they were doing an ultimate Bumblebee, I'd say Hasbro pretty much had me. Yeah, I dropped $79 on the dude (hard to call him little though given his massive size). I got him home, took him out of his box (no reselling for this fanboy) and have had a blast utilizing his many features. Is it pricey? heck yeah. But for a diehard Transformers fan, it's mighty hard to resist. I said for months I wasn't going to get him, but in the end I succumbed to my primal urges.

Glad I got the first wave figure. I love the box he came in, and he can be easily put back in and displayed MIB.

:shock:
Are you 9 feet tall Elita? :P

My gf lugged him around for a bit after I bought him, and he came up past her knees!

Did some thinking about the packaging, and I really don't like it. Storing the Robovision Prime Octagon was a pain in the butt. The normal Ultimate Bumblebee Box when folded down does not fit in a 52 litre tub, so imagine how much room this would occupy.


Agreed on awkward boxes, thats why I like the origional Ult BB package.

Bubbles domes, and things of that sort realy fo suck to store. I wish they'd just stick with squares and rectangles!

As for Ult BB coming up to your girls knees :???:

I know your from the "Land Down Under" so I just gotta ask, is gravity stronger down there or something!?!

This thing is knee high to my 7 year old niece, just bearly, and she's tiny!

In the box it came up to her knees, out of box he is just below.

My gf's only about 5'3" (160cm)(did I get that right? We do metric over here), I haven't measured Bumblebee yet (nor thought of till now) but he would have to be around the 35-40 cm mark.

May not be the battery, the chest piece for Bumblebee has to be in a certain spot for it to hit a certain button to make the sounds.

I first thought that the batteries were dead on the Ultimate Bumblebee figures, but after I bought one I found out about the button/chest alignment issues. About half the Bumblebee's I have seen since have had the problem, some shifting of the chest piece is usually enough to get the figures to work in the stores.

I was in the same boat. Tonight I finally take the plunge and spend an hour checking two stores to find the Bumblebee with the best paint job. I take it home, giddily open up the box ... and have the disappointment of a bad knee joint. It won't lock, so he always slouches to one side. @$&#%! :-x
