Go to ebay and type in '08 Bumblebee'.
Astounding. That number will increase as many assholes snatch them all up from various locations and stick 'em up there. :-x

I hope the prices won't just shoot back up to rediculous again. "So rare".... "impossible to find"....cheah but if theres so many up on ebay for sale, that doesn't make them so hard to find, does it? Plenty available should translate to lower sale prices. Hopefully.

Yup, I went to Toysrus yesterday and they put out 6 cases of deluxes and sure enough, every Bumblebee was gone.

There are 2 Bumblebees in each case too...right?

I wouldn't know. I've never seen BB in any store ever.

So far there is only one Bumblebee per case

It was an impulse buy, but I picked up the only '08 Bumblebee I've ever seen just last week at KMart. Not a bad figure, but I'm kinda disappointed by it's overall quality.

Post Christmas those things will be worth no more than shelf price at best.

08 Bumblebee is going to be in about half a million different sets of figures, so you'll be able to nab him, and other movie figures.

I actually think he is a very cool figure

He may have his faults, but he certainly owns the majority of his movie line brethren.

Although I must say that he has been far too over-hyped and the scalping/stock shortage of him has not helped.

Ya know I really don't think they will be everywhere....well they will be but anything with BB in it, in a 2-pack or whatever will get snatched up like the current deluxe BB08. The toy is so into the phycie of so many people, collectors, kids, movie goers it will always be hard to find....just my two cents.

I don't think the problem is that there's one or two BBs in each case; I think the problem is that there's like 2 or 3 Final Battle Jazzes in each case.

What genius decided the newest assortment would contain mostly FB Jazzes and then one of each new wave toy?

all I know is I'm sick to death of going to 4-5 stores a week and seeing nothing but CyberSlammers, Helmets, and RealGears, week after week after week.

by **upther** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 12:22 pm

I'm pretty sure I don't want anymore of the movie toys. I've been so disappointed in the ones that I do have and have been getting much more enjoyment going back and getting some Alts and Classics that I don't need the movie crap.

the TRU here in NY got all the new DX but all 08 BB are gone.

by **Rijie** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 2:59 pm

I wish that our TRUs looked like that.

We can understand your frustration, but this topic has been around the world and back again.

I personally am just tired of these big, empty TF sections for the past two months. I'd be happy to see anything consistently, much less newer stuff. TFs are just so hot right now, but the stores around here are stocking maybe one each Deluxe/Voyager case every other week? Bad, bad business. (Also a dead horse.)

Besides, as others have implied...in a few months, these guys that are sitting on 30 BBs won't be able to give them away. This is several years of hunting and dealing experience talking. They'll be around in force come the Holiday Season.
