Even worse, when he stumbled upon the 08 BB, it was already hidden between some Prime masks. So while he may be happy his little hiding plan succeeded. someone elses was twarthed. Funny how these things go...

I am also a big Camaro fan (F bodys to be exact) I have an 02 trans Am now but when I first joind this site I had a camaro. Hense my name Kup98ss. I want that figure for the car. I've had a hard on for that thing since I heard about it. Now all I need is an alternators camaro or Trans Am, then I can die a happy man.

That is a better story! Though it is still terrible.

Those are the best kinds of finds. I found a swindle that way, before they started shoving them on the shelves, and a a starscream too now that I think about. Love that feeling of finding the last one or the odd ball

Same here, got a 2002 Formula NHRA edition. Love FBodies. (also hence my name Pontiac + a transformerish sounding Max, lol) And I got the Ertle Concept Camaro model (1/25th scale I believe) and painted it to match the original silver concept car perfectly, including the interior. Much love to the new Camaro, and a transforming Concept Camaro will look so damn awesome next to my model. :grin:

Ooooo, maybe get another Ertle model and paint it to match Bumblebee!

Sup ya'll--sorry for the mean ranting/various crap last night... Anyway, the figure is very impressive in the way it's assembled/etc, but the paint is the ONLY thing that bugs me. His whole outer skin is a translucent plastic that has been painted over. Not sure why--every Transformer I've ever owned has been a solid/opaque plastic with the only CLEAR plastic on the figures eyes, weapons, whatever. As a current Camaro driver and, barring any credit issues, a future 09 Camaro owner, I hope my actual CAR looks better than this--I know it will, but that's the only thing about this figure that irritates me. On a final note--he's the ONLY movie figure I've purchased that is "user friendly," in that he pretty much transforms himself. Anyway, there you have it guys.
P.S.--Rushie dude?? Two things... Rush is my favorite band, though I am not Canadian, which leads me to my second thing.... Don't hump your toys..... Thank you very much.

Prior experience in hand I fully expected to see a peg wall FULL of Wreckages and Swindles, which I did.....but....there was ONE Arcee up there!! I was amazed. It was like seeing a diamond in the rough--she looked AWESOME!!! ..in alt mode, anyway...but she wasn't what I was looking for at first. I looked around and found a couple of Bonecrushers--already have him--and started to walk away..until I noticed something buried between a couple of OP voice changers... AN 08 BUMBLEBEE!! No s#&t... Seriously couldn't believe it. All the initial complaints about his paint are correct, though--looked like total ASS with the creases/overspray and whatever.. Didn't care b/c I'm a y2K Camaro driver and totally plan on purchasing an 09, which is the actual release year of that model according to GM, as soon as it's available, quality issues aside.. Went to check out--debit card expired as of 7/08. F&#K!! Told him nevermind...went back and hid the figure behind a pillow in the home section, which was STILL THERE TODAY!! Have the figure, totally awesome, nuff said. Sorry for the long-ass story, but it's all true!!! More later!! Once again--not made up.

...you seem unusually concerned about whether or not everyone believes you. Not saying that i dont. After all, i saw five of these on the shelf of my local target monday.

*crawls back into his hole*

First, my username doesn't have anything to do with a Canadian band I never heard of

and second, I did not pelvic thrust my 08 BB (don't have one), it was the poster above me who said that.
