A Bumblebee Question

Postby Bumbled » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:11 pm

Hey guys, I need you help me in a decision.

I want to collect all of the toys in the movie which I have accomplished except for little things like key chains and big leader classes (which I will get once I finish the main collection).

But because I like Bumblebee the best, I wanted to collect all the cool things of him.

I have so far of him :

Unleashed Bumblebee 2008 and 1974 Deluxe Bumblebee.

I hear that the 2008 version of the Deluxe one is coming out soon in AUS. But the Fast Action Battlers have a Bumblebee which is 08 too.

So I am deciding now... which one is better???

Should I wait for the 2008 Deluxe Bumblebee or should I just get Fast Action Battlers 2008 Bumblebee now???

If you cannot get both, I would say wait for the 2008 Deluxe. He may sell quickly though, as he is one of the stars of the film.

There is nothing wrong with the FAB's, some of them are on par, or better than their deluxe counterparts, but from all the pics I have seen, and advance reviews I have read, the Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee is possibly the best figure in the deluxe class in the Movie line.

I'd go with the deluxe too, because personally, I don't consider FABs to be of the main toy line, but that's me. I'm sure others have the opposite opinion.

No I am sort of with you on that one... Fast Action Battlers... are more like the kiddy version. The reason why I basically asked the question on the top is because I am impatient :lol:

I would definitely go with the 2008 BB Deluxe as the figure has very good articulation and the transforming mechanisms are done very well in terms of the placement of panels etc. The figure is very proportionate too and in robot mode it's the joints are very well hidden. BB 2008 has a lot of minor detail and looks more like a model kit than a toy. :D
