Good choice, Unleashed Bumblebee is a very good figure in my opinion. Robot Replica's was what you were looking at, for their price and size and detail, their not worth it, at least to me. Basically they are averagely detailed but are highly pose able.

They are action figures, not Transformers, and they look far better in person than they do in the pics, but that still does not make them worth the extremely high price for what they are.

Yeah, RR Bumblebee is a pretty good figure in my opinion, but it's only worth the full price if you're insane (like me). If you see one on sale, though, consider buying it.

Replica Bumblebee looks quite good on the card. But the actual toy/figure is a bit disappointing. Lacking in quality control. The paints are applied hurriedly. Color not bright enough. Looks old and baked.
Overall still a good figure. If you can look pass the coloring.

Wow, the figure from your link looks good! Very nice coloring.
Not like the ones available in our department stores. Maybe a different batch. Or the lesser paint qualities exported to my country.

Actually, the RRs are pretty good. Jazz and Prime are near perfect to the movie models, but both are a little skinny. Barricade IS Perfect, and Frenzy is as good as you're going to get.
However, Megatron looks like he's made out of foam, and Bumblebee has the horrid grey mechanics(they should be very dark silver or black). They make the figure look terrible and washed out - don't buy unless you're willing to repaint. The 08 Deluxe is pretty close anyway, just wait for that to become more common.
Personally, I'd love a Ratchet, after seeing him in the game. I hope they don't do an Ironhide - his design's a mess.
The RRs are decent for what they are - I just wish they'd have made them a little bigger and more detailed, at least for Prime maybe. They're a bit too Titaniumish, a bit too rounded off, squished together, though some pics reveal them to be more "angular" that they seen, so I'm guessing they're better in person.
