Images for Transformers Tribute Bumblebee Three-Pack

I want them so badly...might have to swap the head of the '76 'Bee with the original's though.

In due time, m'boy. In due time.

One thing for sure is the most different one will be the classic '70s version.

That one time in Age of Extinction maybe? I honestly haven't watched AoE in like two years so I can't remember if he actually turned into the black vintage Camaro in the movie, but the figure that this is a repaint of came from that film's line, so I'm assuming it might have happened at some point. (Maybe early in the film, similarly to Optimus' "Evasion Mode"? I dunno.) If it did ever happen, that's the movie when it did at least

I've missed the '76 Bee. I wonder, could they reshell the MPM Bee into the old car?

Guess Amazon ordered more of these than they thought they could sell...

Except in Canada. They don't offer this set here at Amazon.ca.
I know I can import it, but oh well...

They doubled charged me for the set...the day I bought it and the day it shipped...

They sent me an email today asking if it met my expectations...

I did buy the Tribute set, mostly because it aligned perfectly with my personal collection. I'd never had WFC Optimus and wanted to experience the mold since I'd heard good things about it; I'm getting LG Kup instead of TR, so the slight molding differences made it easier to justify having Tribute Orion as well; and while I have T30 Orion Pax, that guy's tiny and flimsy-feeling, so I wanted a larger and more solid Orion for my collection. Sure the PoTP Orion Pax is super-accurate to the cartoon, but I don't mind a bit of artistic liberty on the more obscure or weirdly-designed characters, plus his vehicle mode's a bit blegh and let's not forget you'd have to pay Leader price to get him. As it was, since I went through Premium Collectables (which I do not recommend, but it happened to work out for me this time) while they were having a sale, the Tribute set cost me about $60AU all up - just a little bit over retail price for two Deluxes.

So yeah, I've made my decision and I'm happy with it - I'd recommend the Tribute set to anyone, particularly someone without the WFC Prime mold like me! I can totally see why others would prefer PotP Optimus/Orion though, and of course you should always do you. However if it sways any opinions, I've found that Tribute Orion makes an absolutely fantastic generic transtector for just about any head you could possibly want to use him with - he makes a particularly great generic Autobot with someone like the Swoop Titan Master attached.

All I want from this set is the Orion Pax Titan master body so I can have another use for my Apex Titan master

That's quite obvious. That toy alone justify the price of the set, especially because the original WFC Optimus is worth that much alone on Ebay.
And getting a "free" Orion Pax out of the deal is even more awesome.
