HK-TF member kenji has posted a gallery showcasing the Costco exclusive Limited Edition Battle Ops Bumblebee. The packaging of the Limited Edition Bumblebee is similar to Transformers Universe, and the toy is coated with metallic paint work. Moreover, Legend Class Premium Bumblebee & Mudflap are included.

oh mama
that looks beast!!
i want it so bad!

[Veritas Prime]

OK, I'll admit it. This actually looks really good. I might have to get this one...

[Dead Metal]

That's the China exclusive version.

[Rated X]

Not available in USA ??? Would buy on the spot but not worth a mail order...

[Axlmus Prime]

Just my luck. Man it looks GREAT and its a stinking Chinese exclusive.

[Pretender Skywarp]

I take it metallic paint is this years black?

[Solrac333]

Hasbro, Do THIS!

[Badassimus Prime]

This looks nice. And it's a rare thing I say for Movie Bumblebee toys. Although, this is one of those rare cases where metallic paint isn't necessary being that Bee's paint in the movies is more of a glossy yellow. I still support the use of metallic paint on toys that make sense of the use.

Buy a large Bumblebee and get a Smaller one as well. Kinda stupid if you ask me

[Seibertron]

I updated this news story accordingly to reflect that this is a Costco exclusive.

[ConBotFormer]

WOW!! I was not at all going to buy this Bumblebee. I only have two BB figures, old Camaro BB and ROTF BB...and soon TF3 BB.

But now with this paint, oh, he looks good! And since he'll be at Costco, he'll be TONS cheaper then one from Wal-Mart or Target.

Last year when Costco had TransFormers for sale. They were very very cheap. They sold the two pack of Ratchet and Grindor together for $10, the BB helmet for like $10 or $5. Can't wait to see how much this guy will cost.

So yeah, looks like I'm getting another Bumblebee.

Perfect example of unnecessary metallic paint.

Actually, Grindor and Ratchet were around $24 which was basically buy one get one free. They were definitely not $10, unless you saw them on clearance. Does Costco even do clearance on stock?

They were $10 at my Costco, but most likely they were on clearance. Their Devastator on clearance was, I think around $25 maybe $35...but still. I think Costco does do clearance, I would think they must on toys since they don't sell toys all year round.

[Regimus Prime]

Hey look, it's Gold Bug.

[Kibble]

I might actually be interested in this if it's a bit cheaper than the regular one...and if someone with a Costco membership can hook me up.

[Covenant]

The metallic paint really brings out the ugly in his face.

Never been bothered importing a TF item, this one's an easy pass though. Seriously, it feels like somehow this brand of Bumblebee has managed to catch up in number of figures to the other usual suspects in the brand name of Transformers.

[Blurrz]

And the Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee pre-orders grind to a halt. Since Costco's cheap and awesome, I won't mind giving this set a try.

[REGIFISHY]

You gotta love those Costco Exclusives, they never cease to be awesome.
