People,I have a urgent question! I am planning on a haul, and want to get a alternators bumblebee. Are there any problems I need to know about him before I get him?

Right? LOL it's the most ridiculous thing ever. Sure you can have a Siege Nemesis Prime for $115, but oh $34 shipping plus you won't get him until September. And look a US seller for a Phantomstrike Squadron for the mere price of $175 plus $30 shipping. LOL!
On a good note though, there are some good finds to be had. I've got Dreadwind and Blackwing for under $16 each, brand new and free shipping. And 4 deluxes from TR line all brand new, free shipping and all under $30, which for eBay is pretty darn good. If they don't offer free shipping, I always pass. My lone exception was for Sky Shadow because I wanted him bad and I jumped on the fact that he was a halfway decent price compared to what I had seen.

Alternator Bumblebee doesn't exist.
Alternity Bumblebee do. Just look up any video reviews and you're all set.

Takara's fault really.

Also, that listing's a complete no-go. I refuse to pay $46 for a new Apeface just to replace the shield.

I once owned it and it's only real problem is that there's a transformation step where you must pull hard on the body. Anyway Alternity Bee is not good anyway.

Have you tried looking up video reviews at the very least?

by **Drifty** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 5:10 am

I did, they just never mentioned problems though =/

by **Drifty** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 6:26 am

I did watch the videos as you requested. I have a budget of 81$(I made that in allowance) and I have decided that it's the best I can afford.I still wanna buy him, even if he isn't the best. Its more for a film project im making, and I decided"Hey, it's pretty well received in the reviews, so I wanna get him"

Alternity Bee is one of the figures I have got recently, to stay on the toy haul thread track, and he's not too bad. I think he might be my favorite Alternity figure (I own all 4 molds including 2 Megatrons). Bit scary to transform the first time, but from what I've heard the more you do it the better it functions.

You can get him cheaper than $81 too, he's on BBTS for $59.99, and with tax and shipping he'd come out to less than $70 I'd guess: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ils/110895

In toy haul thread terms, I have several new Cyberverse figures on the way, nearing completion of my desired cast. And a new Beast Machines toy too!

by **Drifty** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 10:40 am

hey, so I got 50$ stored in my allowance aswell.I would like everyone who helped decide on a figure(walmart.com) to pick one out to remember you by =) As for me though, i'll be the guy with a alternity BB XD

by **Drifty** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 11:01 am

I do have a alternative choice than alternity though. Many say that classics BB is a really good figure, and I like the RTS bumblebee's color scheme. S, please help me come to a final decision

This guy showed up early from Amazon, of course while the battlefield has been commandeered for painting trim. Motivation to finish, received.

After all these months of waiting. My GS Lobclaw and Kraken that got delayed back in March have FINALLY arrived. Not bothering with pics, since everyone else has theirs already.

This thread has a very specific title for a very specific reason. If you want help with your collection I encourage you to start a thread under the appropriate section.

If you read my past posts and others,they were helping me decide if I should get alternity,I just had the sudden thought.

If you read MY post you would see I'm directing you to start a new thread instead of derailing this one.

New haul today! I got 3 transformers authentics figures. I got the over-sized Prime,Grimlock,and Soundwave. Over all, I am really happy with them. Also, if you want a bumblebee to get with the other authentics, I recommend titans return Bumblebee, he scales well. Pictures will come later.

by **Drifty** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 8:52 pm

Also, another haul is being planned out, but this time at Wal-Mart, not Dollar General.Hopefully Some good stuff will come out of it. For my 14th b-day, my parents are getting me the KBB Mcs-02, Which is great! Anyone recommend some figures for my next haul? My limit is 40$
