I missed out on it the first time (although I did get CJ), so this is a must-buy for me!

Missed Classics BB and CJ, so this might be a grab for me. Wonder how many other classics I missed might also resurface under Reveal the Shield? I know it won't happen, but a full set of seekers from one series is all I need. :roll:

I had 3 of the old one. One Bumblebee, one Cliffjumper and one other Bee painted up and head resculpted as Goldbug. I don't even like G1 Bee at all (though I loved him as Goldbug in the comics oddly both US and UK). I sold them all on though when I lost interest in Classics and used my money on movie figures instead. Don't be thinking that by painting classics Bee in movie deco is gonna tap into my love for Movie Bee and make me buy this toy again cos it won't work. Probably...

This is great news! One less toy for me to buy, but only if I don't feel comfortable spending the money.

Not particularly a fan of the stripes, but the availability is a plus. I guess I'll wait until United Bumblebee is released, who doesn't have the stripes, and decide from there.

Rodimus has seen 5 uses(the same number as the Voyager Prime mold by my count): Classics, Henkei, Shattered Glass, Wild Rider, and Challenge at Cybertron/Battle in Space.

Grimlock as also been used 5 times: Classics, Henkei, Shattered Glass, Botcon '07 Customization class Timelines Overkill, and '08 Universe Overkill.

ooh full throttle energy drink up one's nose is a bad thing.

lol that was hilarious.

I think if I see him on the peg or have to preorder him with something else then fine. my 3 pack bee is still in great shape so... yeah.

generation 2 (or Lazer) optimus prime.

remember RID scourge? it's a remake of that figure

Wow, they are really trying hard to make him look like Movie Bumblebee. Still, looks great, especially for someone who's continually missed out on this mold.
I remember going to Walmart a couple years ago, seeing the Legacy of Bumblebee 3-pack, and thinking "OMG Classics Bumblebee with a whole new color scheme... right between two of the exact same figures I already own. :BANG_HEAD:

Why the Hell doesn't Hasbro do this. Slap some gold paint and a new Goldbug head on that mold and we will happily line up to buy it. Instead we get yet another BB.

I'll be picking this up. I missed classics bumblebee. I will, however, be putting the wave runner somewhere else.

Trash can maybe? :lol:

Is it just me or does the design somewhat resemble the rebuilt leader Bumblebee from the on going?

Box of random bits. Everyone needs one, for all those pesky things that don't stow anywhere. And lame-o accessories best left undisplayed. Like the wave runner!

I figured that's what they were alluding to. It makes the figure a little more relevant I guess.

not yet, need the Goldbug repaint, a cliffjumper reissue, a green animated waspinator nod and throw in a Henkei Special Black version for good measure. Then we can talk about retirement

This looks awesome! I missed it the first time around, so I better get this one. They should do a Wasp in this mold witha new head.

A small fishing tackle box works great for these types of pieces, and parts that you don't keep attached for display but don't want to loose, like cyber keys and the like.
