Congrats man, I hope he is as great as you were hoping!

Oh my gosh he really is! This is my first toy of the mold and he is amazing. I cannot be happier with this decision

Which bee did you get?

TAV 29 Bumblebee Supreme.
Question: My Bee has a problem with his left door staying closed. anyone else have similar problems?

Yeah, can't be fixed, you should probably just rip the door off and throw it out your window

Yes, that was reported for the TAV mold from the getgo by Shajaki. I guess the problem lingers for this remold.

Dammit. Oh well, I have finingled him into holding that door in place somewhat, so it works.

I really do love this guy. Really Really excited! and the backs of his legs actually extend down far enough here to actually serve as heal spurs! He can stand very well now!

My TAV VS01 Bumblebee doesn't have any noticeable difficulty with its doors. :???:

My TAV Drift and Jazz are under the "paid" status at BBTS. Hope to see them in hand by next week.

Ya know about the whole sound chip thing, I really hate to say this but after two or three they all start to sound the same; maybe there is 200.

Drift/Jazz and Supreme Prime are in my POL at BBTS, just waiting for the payment to clear to ship my stuff!

It's odd that the Genuine Bumblebee has people complaining about him tipping over backwards as my KO one stands perfectly fine and never over balances - it makes me wonder why.

What problems exactly are people having with the Bumblebee mold? My TAV VS01 Bumblebee hasn't given me any problems.

My US RID Warrior Bee stands like a boss (if that is the mold in question here). The panels make nice little heels. Mistransformation maybe?

Mine stands amazingly too, I never heard anything otherwise from anyone.

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 11:48 am

I did wonder if people are not clicking the grey leg panels down all the way - even if the yellow roof parts don't actually touch the ground they should be closer to the ground and closer the centre of gravity too.

I just don't see the issues most see with OP and his legs. Yeah the hollowness is what it is but I'm all over it. The issues most should have is with this crappy line! :-P

Anyway with a little luck a 3rd Party will make a decent OP weapon for this and maybe some filler for the hollowness. I can't wait to give this OP a good home. :VEHI:

I had seen reviewers complain because the roof parts were not down far enough on Bee to make heal spurs, but mine has no such case. The only problem with mine is that the left door does not close in robot mode

The door will not slot into place. The arm will not actually slot into the roof section and the door almost seems too short lengthwise to actually tab in

And this happens for your figure in robot mode, not vehicle mode? Cuz the wings are supposed to just hang off his back spread outward in robot mode a la G1 Prowl.

No, robot mode is fine. It is the vehicle mode that is suffering. his drivers side door is just lagging and almost dragging on the ground since it wont peg in

That explains the confusion in the original post.

The arms on the Bumblebee mold should slide into the sides of the torso, with the shoulders coming along the sides of the hood. Normally I do the doors last, after the roof is pegged into the arms. Normally they tab into the front of the car but you might have to give the toy a gentle squeeze to get everything to come together.

I've tried that. His arm and the tab from the roof will not slot into place and will not hold. The arm just doesnt seem to come up enough, and that coupled with the door almost being a bit too short makes his right side impossible to tab together

I got TAV-33 Supreme Mode Prime in yesterday. He is pretty amazing. Thought I'd post some in hands, as I don't think we've seen any shots of him b'dazzled with minicons yet.

Nice, I need to pick this guy up once I have enough Amazon points to get him for a lot cheaper.

Big warning guys, the hand on my Supreme Bumblebee just broke, it was all clear plastic. What I think happened is the blaster from TAV-21 put a crack in it, that I couldn't see due to the paint, and putting the other weapons in the hand weakened it further. I can probably fix it but I don't have any proper glue in the house and even then, it'll never be usable again.
