Hi all,
Newbie to the forum, I must say I love it so far. Great info.
I live in Hawaii so my buying options are limited. Walking thru the TF aisle at the local walmarts and TRU is like walking through a deserted town after a tornado. I swear on my life the ONLY things available are those Prime voice changer masks. I haven't seen a deluxe figure (ANY deluxe figure) in 3 weeks, period!
Anyway, does anyone know where I can preorder the 08 concept bumblebee online right now??? bbts.com is sold out on the preorders and I think I looked at all the other suggested online stores (digital toys, actionHQ, agesthreeandup) with no luck. EntertainmentEarth.com has cases available with the 08 concept, but the 08 concept is the only one I need.
Any help would be great. My only request is a reasonable price, no the $60+ price like on amazon.com. A bonus would be somewhere like bbts.com where for a few bucks more you can get a C9 grade. THANKS!
Darren

i dont know if you guys got a kohls all the way over there, but if you guys do, check it out. you'll have better chance finding him there rather than the usual targets, trus, and wal mart, but the figs are 12.99. good luck on your hunts.

Yeah I was able to pick up figures there, not my bumblebees, a friend picked both CCBB's up for me.

Expensive or not, somebody bought EACH Concept BB and Arcee at the local Kohls. I guess they read my sightings post a week ago

The best thing you can do is ask the stocking clerks in your local store what days they get their Hasbro shipments and just keep trying retail, Suprisingly KB toys seems to be getting them the most.
I keep missing them myself, but a member here was good enough to send me one.
Thanks Again, Tommy T!
Still I need one to open now. The shipments show up on Wensday in my area, so thats when I'll begin my hunt.

I have one MISB C9 and am selling.
But you have no idea what I went through to get him. I did pay retail price for this guy, however, not before paying $30.00 for this guy online first for the one I currently have on display. I just happened to walk into a walmart on my way back from my girlfriends place here in San Diego and they were stocking the shelves.
only one 08 bumblebee comes with each shipment box from Hasbro and I think that's complete BULL!!!!
This box was still sealed and I just opened it myself while he went to get other boxes and plucked out a 08 bumblebee and final battle Jazz.
Bottom line, I'm trying to make my money back for what I paid other scalpers for the HTF items in my collection.
The only way to beat scalpers is to become one apparently.
This is ridiculous though seriously.
I am open to making trades, however most of the things I'm looking for are of higher value than this guy. Though I have other MISB transformers I can sell or trade if anyone's interested.
