Straight and to the point...

Those of you that have your hands on this already....

Is it worth it?? Really??? HONESTLY??? :-?

Please keep in mind a few electronics gadgets isnt a big deal to me. I prefer quality and coolness to gimicks.

Looks like the going price will be between $70-90. For that or a little more I can have either a Masterpiece of somesort off Ebay OR just wait till Old-School Masterpiece Starscream hits Walmart.

What say you?? :???:

Thanks!!!

if you like the char he is worth 80. ebayers (scalpers) are asking 119.00. he is a great fig. and cool gimmicks. plus i knew i'd never find a deluxe BB and why pay 40 for that when i could just spend double for something the same size or larger than energon omega supreme? and plus he has heft.

Thanks for the input...So you have one I take it??

Looking around here and elsewhere, I guess I didnt realize I was in such a minority by owning the Deluxe '08 Camaro Bumblebee. Guess I was in the right place at the right time.

I guess until I am staring one in the face I wont know if I'll get it. Pics from Botcon looked kinda cheesy, so I am hesitant to plop down the cash.

Thanks again for the feedback..

Not worth it in my opinion... wait for price to be about $50-$60. The electronics in it are really good though... but since you said quality and if that includes being accurate and detailed then no... Ultimate Bumblebee isn't really an accurate and highly detailed figure.

Then I guess I'm not the only one out there not wowed by Ultimate Bumblebee. Honestly, the guy doesn't look any better than the fast action battlers I've seen pictures of. Sure he stands 18 inches tall but at the asking price, I'd expect some level of Masterpiece detailing and transformation difficulty.

Granted, he's crammed full of electronics, but gimmicky lights and sounds have never sold me on a purchase.

Yer, I guess you would purchase if your fond or electronical stuff. Not that he is bad figure. He is excellent in fact, just not my type of toy.
