Transforming him back to car mode was a bitch as with all TF hasbro instruction sheets they are very lame and hard to follow. If you do get him make sure to not force the hood, make sure you flip down the panel behind his head before you start the shoulder chest area.

Strange about the colour, it's just that mine seems a bit darker than the 74 version!

So is mine, but it isnt a problem to me. It looks better with the darker yellow.

Yeah it does look good, just wondered if it's a darker colour than the single pack BB 08??

Yeah they are constantly out of stock at all the stores in my vicinity. But maybe I should check in store instead. The site's been wonky before now.

Wait are Tesco's suposed to be selling Transformers cause I'm from Hucknall and the Hucknall Tesco has no Transformers at all, come to think of it they don't have any Marvel Legends or Spider-man classics either. And the only DC superheroes the've got are one superman from wave one and one Bane from wave two.

Just checked in 2 Argos in Clydebank today and none of them had it. I'm really at a loss none of my local stores Woolies , Argos and Asda have any Deluxes or Voyagers.

WHY must I suffer !!

SO sorry, give it a few weeks!

Ok, the webby says that none of the worthing stores have it in stock. If anyone pops in there for anything, could they be a dear and check the availability for the two-pack?

I just so happen to have £25 worth of Argos vouchers burning a hole in my pocket, and this is one of two toys from the movie line that I'm actually inclined to buy.

Otherwise, I'll get Blackout (hopefully in their Voyager assortment) from Argos, and OP from Play.com.

Shameless bump.

I had to sneak out of work and take an *extended* lunch break to hunt this down yesterday...

I had checked Argos' in Central London, the 6 sort-of-near my home ones and one in Cornwall! So I checked every shop on the website till I found one within a reasonable distance. (Victoria in case anyone was going to go there. I apologise now if you were. Sorry.)

I really don't like Argos, I've even told them that in an email after they messed me around loads over some other TF stuff.

It is a great set though, all of the hype around '08 Bee was beginning to put me off him, but he is a very good figure.

I feel your pain. The amount of times i went to argos to buy a classics figure that was advertised in their old catalogues only for them to come down with nothing but CYBERTRON lines. And then i go to buy a movie bumblebee (76 version) only for them to come down with freaking protoforms, and its the same bullshit every time "oh these are the only ones we have" ffreaking useless morons. Thats why i thought hell must have freezed over when i saw that they had the two pack in a store kinda near me which i promptly reserved and picked up later that day.

The ONLY thing i have ever got out of there apart from the two-pack which was what i was thought i was ordering was an alternators wheeljack.
