I don't think i'll ever find '08 Bumblebee in stores, and there's no way i'm buying it on Ebay for it's inflated price. Who actually bought it at the Regular Deluxe Price? And Because of it's rarity did you buy many of them?

I bought mine at Wal Mart.

I asked nicely, the guy working went in the back and found them. He asked me how many I wanted.

I said "One, thank you."


and that's how the Pros do it.

If by actual price you mean retail and not Ebay/Amazon, then Yes, but at Kohl's they cost a little more. So yeah actual price, sort of.

$9.96 before tax for mine off the pegs of Walmart. Admittedly it was back in early July and there weren't many.

I refuse to buy one off eBay when I know they'll be all over the shelves before Christmas. Patience grasshopper.

I found mine at my local walmart a month ago when wave 2 first came out, I also bought one the other day at Toys R US. So yeah I paid retail price. Even both together is cheaper than one that goes on Ebay. Just be paicient, im sure youll be able to find it at your local Walmart for 9.49.

I'm still waiting here, although most of the stores here have not finished their resets yet so I am hopeful of seeing it before the end of the month.

I paid retail at Wal-mart, but only bought one because I didn't realize it was rare; I bought it, Ironhide, and Leader Prime after seeing the movie apparently also right after Wal-Mart restocked, but before joining Seibertron (so I had no idea it was new and desired)

I'm very picky when it comes to price. I always want to pay the right price. I got my '08 BB at the Walmart near my work at lunchtime a few weeks ago. I found both him and Arcee for $9.99 each. I was very lucky, because I haven't seen either one since.

got mine in the voyager prime 2 pack so i guess that means i got it for less than retail (or got prime for less than retail looking at it the other way)

Prime should be £20 bumbles should be £10 and the two pack containing them both is £25

Same here. $12.99 at Kohl's. However, I saw one at Wal-Mart when I found up Arcee and Dreadwing, but I had a brain malfunction and didn't pick him up! :sad:

I have one now though, so I can quit kicking myself. :)

I bought mine on sale.
I actually bought both of mine on sale...
AU$20 a piece, sure beats the AU$28 for deluxes the stores normally charge!
