Just a word to the wise, Beatmix Bumblebee is a Myer exclusive, so try and grab yours during the sale.

Also Ultimate Bumblebee's normal price at Target is $119.95, $10 cheaper than the sale price at Myer.

Whats the difference between their BeatMix BB and the regular?

Also with their poor sales, I'm suprized Star Wars TFs don't go on sale more often.

Sales are useless at the moment as they only ever cover peripheral items, never deluxes, voyagers or leaders.

Nothing. Myer literally have Beatmix Bumblebee as an exclusive, like Target had the exclusive Movie Toy Scouts.

Stores cannot put items on sale that they do not even have in stock. Very few stores have any main line figures of any size class, and the ones that do dont seem to have them for very long.

Beatmix Bumblebee is an music player accessory similar to an iDog. Basically a little speaker that dances and whatnot. It's not a repaint or remold or the deluxe Bumblebee figures.

If that is what you were referring to of course.

You realise that Beatmix Bumblebee and Ultimate Bumblebee are brand spanking new right Bumbled?

News Credits: 1 · by **Bumbled** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 4:59 am

I have seen Beatmix Bumblebee before about 1-1/2 months ago...

by **Daxmajor** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 5:28 am

Still haven't spotted Ultimate BB or Leader Brawl yet, and it's not from a lack of looking.

Sure you're not thinking of Cyber-stompin' Bumblebee?

by **Raymond101** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 6:59 am

Nope. Beatmix bumblebee is its own figure. He can play music and dance. But one time i had to make a choice between him and a new pair of speakers. Since he needs batteries I chose the speakers.

Myer may be expensive, but i think they're often overlooked as a source of HTF toys. is this the first advertised ultimate bumblebee we've seen? i.e. - guaranteed to be in stock?

I figured if anything it was just gonna be a repaint or something.

I have these all over near me. I passed on it but if someone wants one, cover cost and shipping and I'll hook it up. I think their like $40 or $50USD. I'd send it with a TRU reciept so no worries.

Yup, Target have not advertised him, and I have not seen/read any sightings of him from other stores.

I would like to know where you saw him.

by **nintendofreakgcn** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 8:29 pm

For the record, I also have seen Beatmix Bumblebee in my nearest Myer for a fair while now (at least a month). I was wondering when they were going to put him on sale, since he wasn't selling at all. Now, I just need some money...

Oh, and the Ultimate Bumblebee situation is ridiculous.

by **RagingBull** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 7:23 am

Me neither, I don't own an ipod, but I also only listen to my MP3 player on the train, and I aint lugging a Beatmix Bumblebee on a Sydney train

It's a shame that we do not get "clearance" sales on transformers like those in the USA do, my local Myer still is trying to flog off the Cybertron Street Team Minicons at full price.
