When you get it, I'd like to know your thoughts on Bumblebee (if you don't mind, that is). He looks great to me, but I haven't seen a single review on him yet.

Do we know what kind of shipping he got? Pics?

I got my shipment notification earlier today, so I'm pretty sure it's legit. I wonder if TRU.com will be getting Drft and the Power Core Combiners early as well.

I hope the stores get them soon. Just visited my TRU today and they are discounting all RoTF stock. I just hope that means the new stuff will be on the shelves within the next 2 weeks. So close now =P~

Dang they are sold out already. o.o

I'll add to the buzz. I got my notification from UPS. I expect it to show up on Friday.

Woot!

It's like getting Christmas. In June!

Wow, he looks so much better in person! He looked so fat in the other pics. Glad to see that isn't the case

Anybody have an extra Prime they're willing to sell? I'm only willing to pay tru.com prices. Thanks.

Bumblebee is pretty awesome but a huge pain in the ass to transform into alt mode. Getting all those little tabs to hold is a real pain. I can see those breaking easy which sucks.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had problems. Far to many cracks in the panels.

LoL..Got mine a couple of days ago..The situation reminded me of when SDCC Soundwave came out on HTS..The craze was was insane and he sold in out in minutes..Then when people started getting him the box had no packing what so ever and some even had damages to their Soundwave. I open up the oversized box sent to me by TRU and what do I see..The card on BB was smashed and had a tear in the top and OP actually had a small puncture in his blister..The figures themselves are fine but this is getting ridiculous..

I'm not even gonna bother contacting them...I highly doubt that anything could be done..last time I order from someone besides BBTS or Robot kingdom... Hell KO toys does a better packaging than huge companies like TRU and HTS...

That sucks. The box mine came in wasn't the sturdiest, but it had those big plastic air cushion things to keep them from bouncing around. The packages weren't 100% mint, but they were acceptable...especially for figs I had full intentions of opening.

i had planned opening them as well but the condition these packages were in was shocking.. Mine did have those little air cushions as well but they were both flat..I swear it looks as if someone was stabbing the box with a ice pick...

The figures are nice though...Primes transformation is a little PITA but they look great..

I only got bumblebee and his card was bent. Unfortunately I don't think TRU deals in the collectors market so they don't care.
