Has there been a post about Ultimate Bumblebee at Hasbrotoyshop.com yet? If not, I'm posting a link to the page here. The page lists availability as on or about 09/21.

Because Ultimate BB and 08 BB are not the same thing...

Yeah, I think there was something about this a couiple of days ago. I pre-ordered mine on the 15th using the 10% off coupon code. So saved a couple of bux.

So what's the deal with Ultimate BB?

Is he on par with the Masterpiece series?

Does he contain die cast metal?

I know nothing about this toy and don't really want it, my Takara made deluxe 08 BB should do... once he arrives :grin:

Etoys and WalMart have the lowest prices right now. Amazon decided to raise prices- I would order Ultimate BB ASAP.

Just a quick note: wal-mart will never price adjust current orders- Im not sure about etoys. I wish all large retailers would have a price guarantee.

Not sure if it counts as Masterpiece, but I'd say it's a comparable scale.

Dunno if this one has has die cast or not.

Like Bonger already said, the Ultimate and second Deluxe Bumblebees aren't the same thing. Ultimate, as I've said before, is a comparable size size to Masterpiece, and Deluxe is the same size as other deluxe figures.

Besides, I think deluxe is already confirmed as being out elsewhere. Haven't seen it with my own eyes yet, just remember seeing confirmation front paged recently is all. This listing I'm talking about is for ultimate.
