People seem to be going nuts for these on eBay, and I haven't seen any in the stores in my last few hunting expeditions, but is it too early to pay $20 or more for one? How would we know, say, if another run of these will appear in stores?

My Walmart just got some of the Concept Bumblebees in. I bought one and there was at least one last I looked. There's still a chance to find one in the stores.

Believe it! There is nothing quite like going to a store, expecting the same old empty space, and see it full of those red coloured deluxes :grin:

Frankly I think one reason I got so much into collecting these MISB is I like the look of the boxes and the colour scheme

Hold out, hold out!

I don't need 08BB at all.

by **shmax** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 1:45 am

Do any of you happen to know the UPC for him? I'd like to add him to my database...

Should be a good supply at some point in time, however it may be after christmas sometime. I am pretty sure the next couple waves have 2 per case, and one of those is the Cliffjumper allspark case which (I beleive) doesnt come out till early next year. So those cases have 2 Cliffjumpers and 2 BBs in each. Hope it will make it easier.

IMHO He is a must buy. He is hands down the best deluxe that Hasbro has come out with since G1. I have only found 1, but still looking for 1 more to keep MISB.

Bumblebee is so much sought-after. It's a sure shot there will be another run.

What? Hasbro don't want the extra money?

How badly do you need CC BB? Answer: Very.

It is, bar none, the greatest deluxe in the entire movie line up (okay, that doesn't take much, granted...and before I get flammed, I love the movie toys) and is, as many have said before, almost a mini-Alt/BT. It has amazing poseability and a great transformation. Just watch for the lousy paint apps on so many of them.

Now, that's a cut above the rest.

I second that. He's the best movie deluxe out there IMO & he's a must have. Now go get yourself one and worship it on a pedestal.

Cheers!

So you like movie Bumblebee, eh? Bee advised that Hasbro intends for you to go broke trying to collect him alone:

Ow, my wallet!

Just saw a full stock at My local Wal Mart last Saturday night. They had at least 7 Concept Bumblebees but they were all gone by Sunday night.
Just keep looking and don't shell out the extra dough unless you don't mind doing so.

by **videriant** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 4:01 pm

Most of the Targets also have the 2-packs in if you don't mind the battle damage. They might be sitting on them for the sale next week though.

he's a must have! I looked for a while and no luck but a friend on the bourds found me one. I think he was the hardest tf I've ever had to look for. Alt Mirage and Wheeljack where hard but ccbb puts it at a whole notha level! :-x
