He looks HORRIBLY cheap. Also saw him this weekend and gladly passed.
He was one of few figures available.
Anybody else finding essentially NO stock on deluxe figures? I hit Walmart, Target, and TRU this weekend and only one store even had deluxe figs. Quite picked over I might add, as in a few recon barricades and a coupe of no name/non movie figs.
Either way, congrats on the BB.

He has the same style "silver" plastic as Jazz.
Not impressed. Yet another repaint that is inferior to the original.
Thankyou for the images though.

I'd buy it because I like the mold, otherwise, not very wonderful.

I actually didn't mind it until I saw it was the same silver as Jazz, where I can see swirls in the paint on mine.

I don't really like the colors on this one... I also don't like the robot mode, but I have to give hasbro credit for trying to repaint one awesome ass car mode and kickass coloring. I guess it was too hard to repaint it since the original had soo much nice coloring.

I think the blue is to bright...

I bought this strictly for completists sake.
I normally don't mind repaints, but this one, meh. Looks like he should belong in the old Universe line.

I can not read his bio.
Can anyone post it?
I rather like him. I REALLY want to buy one of him since I have plans to make him look really cool. Going to Wal Mart Friday at the soonest. I hope some will still be there by then. I don't expect to find 08 BB, but I hope to at least find him. Please, or pretty please, Transformers gods...

It mentions the allspark being found and Megatron activated.
Barricade apparently disguised himself as a security car and plans on blasting a dam flooding the city?

Car mode looks poor compared to the original, but the robot is possibly a bit more interesting thanks to having a bit more colour.

I'll have to pass on this figure, and i don't pass on a transformer all to often!! The original barricade far surpasses this repaint!!

the original paint of barricade can kick this repaint!

I didn't buy any of the toys mostly because I didn't think these figures were done very well and I have a feeling more accurate figures will come out in time. I'm a sucker for Masterpiece type figures.
I am kind of bummed that I didn't pick up Barricade. Of all the figures he looks pretty sweet. This repaint though is horrendous. If Ultimate Barricade comes out, I'm all over it!

I saw it at a walmart last night. Passed on it for Leader Brawl, Payload, Longarm, and that deluxe that has a big d-con logo on his truck mode hood.
