The Energon Pub

After going to the nearby Wal-Mart every day before and after work, where I would find nothing but empty pegs, I finally showed up shortly after they restocked and snagged myself the one figure I have been missing: concept Camaro Bumblebee.

I love it!

I put off getting the old Camaro version since I thought it looked cheap (painted windshield / gangly arms and legs / no physical definition) and I had heard there were some quality problems with tabs breaking. It has been driving me nuts to have all the movie Autobots but no Bumblee. I'm glad I waited though. Concept Bumblebee has to be one of the best figures of the whole movie line thus far.

Is he so rare because he is shortpacked? I'm pretty sure I got to the Wal-Mart just after they restocked since the pegs were overflowing with Transformers. Yet, amidst the Arcee, Payload, and Final Battle Jazz figures, there were only two Bumblebee figures. What is up with that?

congrats, 09 BB is awesome, don't sell yourself short though on the 77 BB, he's pretty awesome too.

You have a point there. When I was at target they had the new wave of deluxes execpt for new BB.

It's the case assortment, in the older cases he is 1 per case while some of the others are 2+.

The new case assortment that will be coming out with the Allspark Power line will have 2 or 3 (I can't remember which number now, pretty sure it's 3) Concept Camaro Bumblebee's per case.

In a few months, he won't be rare at all.

I think the UK got all the 09 Bumblebees. They are everywhere!

I'm actually seeing more of him now. They're definitely the first to go though.

You didn't HAVE to buy him at the inflated eBay price you could have waited for the October deluxe restock and start to see him on the shelf.

Glad I waited I picked up mine and one for my son.

Arcee and Longarm were hard to find around here as well.
