This is, by far, the best Deluxe toy in the movie line. It's even better than most of the Voyager Class toys.

I have to agree, it' an amazing figure, and the automorph really adds to it.

This thread actually helped me notice something - a flaw - about the '08 Deluxe Bumblebee...

Why does the Camaro mode have thick blue lines on the cracks used to transform? Because in a real car, those lines aren't supposed to be there. Does anyone else think this is distracting? Observe:

Simple, because the main body of the car is made of translucent blue plastic (the kind for the Windows), covered in yellow paint. but I guess its hard to paint over the cracks.

I still like it though.

I already knew that the 2008 Bumblebee is great. I've known it since I bought it almost a month ago.

That looks fantastic, although the battle visor would've really done it for me. I wish the other figures had this kind of detail.

to all the collecter vets, when the new 2008 bumblebee hits the shelve, how long do you think it will stay their (in hours, or days)??

depends

Tt depends on the store. If the store has high traffic than maybe a few hours. If not maybe a few days. Either way i wouldn't risk it if u see it buy it!

I was wondering, how does his gun stay in his hands? Is it a double peg or does it fit into a hole I haven't seen yet?

The gun simply clips on the hand. No pegs, no holes; Bumblebee has open hands that hold the gun very firmly.

How well does it stay stay pointed in one direction? I've always hated it when the guns tend to slip around in the figures hand.

Lol, you said Frick, the old version bumblebee is really hard to find. I got one though. I like the 2008 one more though.

The grip on the gun is very solid. When I took the two shots of Bumblebee holding the gun, it stayed upwards.

Does his gun fit inside him in alt mode?

I think his gun is stored somewhere in the rear of the car in alt mode. Not like the '74 one, though.
