I found one today along with the TF: movie robot heroes.
I was torn between the 2.

Pretty hard, since there's no such thing.
Now, the CONCEPT or 09 Bumblebee has been hard to find, but getting easier.

I haven't seen him even once. I've been to three different Walmarts, KB Toys, TRU, Target, and Kohl's. Never.

There were too many to count today. A fresh shipment must've come in where I live. I still haven't got one, but I did pick up Bonecrusher, Arcee, and Swindle... finally. I'm holding out for a certain 2 pack(Voyager Prime & Bumblebee) which Argos have had in their catalogue for more than a month at this point, but have yet to stock.
I don't think there'll be any shortage of Concept Bumblebee because they probably had more than the other figures combined, and there were quite a few of the other figures. I'm just sorry I passed on '74 Bumblebee, because there's been no sign of him since the ones with the supposedly broken automorphs.
I'll have to go back for Dreadwing, but no concept Bumblebee for me. I'm too strong. I can hold out. That thing's so hyped up, I'm probably not even interested anymore.

dude, I know it has a bad rep. ... but I still want it. More than concept Bumblebee, strange as that may seem to some.

classic camaro BB is out-of-scale compared to the other Autobot deluxes, the concept camaro BB is where it's at. I've got both tho.

Definitely worth getting. Like I said, he was my first Transformer, and despite a gripe or two, I love him. He's easy to Transform (unlike his counterpart...grrr) and he's a decent robot mode. But I'm a little biased.

Is Arcee hard to find because I saw it at Kohls. I picked it up, through up a little in my mouth then put it back.

they not hard you just have to no how to locate them. i wont even say how many i have purchased in the last 2 months, cause i dont want to hear the bitching. find a kohls in a non rural area, kohls does not put all there stuff out. they are sitting in the back.
i have only found 2 outside of kohls. one at a TRU with dropkick, payload, long arm, dreadwing. i assuming they got one case in.
and i saw a damaged box at a walmart which i didnt purchase.

I'm surprised that 74 BB doesn't get more love. I know, painted windows, big feet, but he's still a really cool toy. His automorphing legs work brilliantly, he's very posable, the doors and front wheels look awesome in bot mode, he's a great looking classic Camaro.
Just a cool toy. But I don't seem to have the broken automorph chest problems that alot of people have. I fold the chest up last when TF'ing him into car mode, kinda squeeze the whole car so the joints are all tight, and he stays locked up w/ no problems.
still have yet to see the concept BB in stores, I do really want him though, definetely looks very cool.

08 BB was a hard find. I saw the fresh cases a couple of weeks ago when I was at a Wallymart and thought I could wait the couple of hours till midnight...when they said they could sell them...
anyways, I actually bopped over to the next WM, in hopes theirs would be ready-but they had no idea new TFs were around...at my 3rd WM store I found the 08 BB. They only had one case and there wasn't an Arcee-two final battle Jazzes I think...
08 BB-still HTF...but could be getting better...

he's so hard to find that people are shelling out 30$ for him on ebay. terrible decision if you ask me.

Not getting any easier for me. I have yet able to see one in person. Its almost as if this whole 08 Concept Bumblebee toy thing is just an internet spoof, an urdan legend or something. LOL

Me too, only mine's on a shelf headed to the AFA, eventually, anyhow. I bought two 08 BB', so I'm good.
