Looking for a special value? Think that Ultimate Bumblebee isn't worth the $80-$90? How about if they throw in a couple of deluxes?

They may be shelf-warmers, but they are free. A new bonus pack has been located in the Houston, TX area featuring Ultimate Bumblebee packed with 2 free deluxe figures, Scorponok and Brawl.

Much better, now if I can find one like that.

as always, quick to the chase! nice find Fender. i wonder if they upped the retail for this or the price remains the same.

:MAX:

Way better. but I wouldn't get an ultimate bumblebee if it was 20 dollars.
Too bad. I've been looking for a scorponok and a brawl that is to scale with bonecrusher.

Hey News Crew...

Your welcome

To anyone interested... When I found these guys at not one but TWO of my local Walmarts (that includes one that never seems to have anything :-P

) there seem to be enough to go around.

I'm in the middle of the country (but near one of the nations largest ports) so take heart if you want one. I am sure they are on their way...let's just hope his buddy MP Starscream is close behind.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I noted in my original email to the News Crew that it's the same price $79.88 as the first wave of them. Beats Target's and TRU $89.99 without any bonus.

That is the one you keep sealed!

And if they throw in two more deluxes, I just might consider buying it.

My sentiments exactly.

Ahhh...but did you send it to the News department or did you just submit a post??

To be honest I was surprised they said they'd "front page" it when I sent it in. C'est la vie.

And as far as everyone saying it includes shelf warmers...
1) Scorponok- I'd agree 2-3 months ago he was a shelf warmer, but now he is less available in comparison to some of the other Deluxes.

2) Brawl- Hell, those disappeared around here months ago, and now with the restock I havent seen not one. Now the Leader Class (which I have)...thats another story.

All in all, I'd rather buy that for $80 than UB by himself, BUT I'd still rather pay $50 or less period for UB.

cool. alwas useful to get money back and get like a voyager with the two deluxes.

by **80sgeek** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 10:21 pm

No side shot so we can see what the hell they look like?

If you dont know what Deluxe Brawl and Scorponok look like by now, then you need to get out more :???:

I swear, some of you people would bitch if you were hung with a new rope, as we say here in Texas.

Besides, I was in the aisle at Walmart, not in a photo shoot... The only reason you have the pic that's there is because the News Crew requested one when I sent in the sighting. Making an unneeded trip to Walmart on a Friday (payday) night isnt exactly fun.

Of course. This shows up right after I just bought one for my brother for his birthday. Freaking figures.

by **olokin** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 3:11 am

The offer is almost good enough for me to get Ultimate BB...
Maybe if they packed a voyager instead..

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 5:44 am

This is a good package. The bonus is better than Prime's Legend companions.

those that pass up ultimate BB are going to be sorry down the road i think .. This figure is great and pretty close to masterpiece with the amount of detail on it .. It looks weird in the box because the way the legs and bowlegged to make him fit, but out of the box after you straighten him up and such he looks ass kicking.. So what if it makes some silly sounds and such , you dont have to listen to them if you dont want to .. Im glad i grabed one when i did cause no place has them now near me.

by **Mandamus** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 10:37 am

My Wal-Mart had 2 with the extra figures and a few without.

I don't want either of those deluxes so this didn't make me want Ultimate Bumblebee any more.

I've never seen this guy at TRU, but at all the LA targets I've seen him @ he's 79.99. Don't know where that guy came up with 89. I'm tempted to rebox my Ultimate BB, take it back and find the new set. I should probably get the new one if I see it and then take my old one back. One of the knees on mine has a problem staying locked in the extended position - otherwise he's perfect. Hmmmmmmm......decisions, decisions.... too bad they didn't throw a barricade, arcee, or jazz in there too
