Love the set. I would have expected this to be a Target exclusive to coincide with their previous Bumblebee 2 pack instead of Walmart.
Hoping for $24.99 or less retail.

Damnit, that's a nice repaint of Classics Bumblebee. If this makes it to the UK, I'll have to grab it.

Hey... lol. It's the movie repaint Bumblebee from the April fools picture. It actually came true, only not quite so limited and not in Japan.
Edit: And no black jetski... which is a shame because it was sexy in black.

We need some sort of Siebertron Cool-Wall, I'd stick this in Sub-Zero.

I NEED that Classic redeco, and the movie one isn't bad. I'll give the animated figure to my nephew.
My guess is Walmart wanted a "movie exclusive", and Hasbro gave it to them this way, buy mixing series.
They could do other packs like this, helps cross-promote series.

Yeah, I'm pretty shocked too.
Maybe the folks at Hasbro saw that April Fools' picture and decided "Hey, let's just redeco Classics BB according to this pic!!!"....
I think i'll be getting this since i have none of them....

I'm glad I ended up missing out on Classics Bumblebee when it first came out, I like the paint job on this one more then on the original one. Hopefully a release date and price is found out soon.

Darn it, if I didn't already have all three figures, I might get the set. The Classics repaint and masked movie Bee are tempting.

So they repainted Classics BB to match the stripe on both of the other 2? Now how I like doing things but it does make him look cooler.
Thing that sucks about this for me is that I already own the movie one and never want another one, I was going to pass on Animated BB because I have the Classics one.
Now do I want to spend the money for 2 guys I don't want just so I can get a better paintjob for the one I already love? Only time will tell. That and gas prices.

That's an awesome set idea. Too bad they couldn't tap into the G1 Bumblebee mode as well. You know there'll be a gallery that ends up on Seibertron.com thanks to that new paint mode.

Definately worth getting, now let's see if Wal-Mart can actually distribute it properly. That seems to be a major challenge with it's exclusives. I'm betting $24-$29 on the price.

If you look on the packaging the movie bumblebee is the premium paint job with the battle mask so if you have the original release it might still be worth getting. It'll be even better if it's at a $25 price point. Yoink!

Now this is a good BB pack. Not like that other crappy BB and better BB pack from before. I'll definately be looking for this.

Is the Animated 'Bee identical to the regular release? Havn't had a close look at Ani 'Bee yet, and if I'm going to pick up this set for the Classics redeco I may as well leave any Ani 'Bees that I see in the meanwhile on the shelves for the kiddies if there's no difference in the toys.
And this after I've managed to hold out for almost a year on owning any version of Movie 'Bee. Ah well, I suppose that I was bound to crack sooner or later.

Was Premium Bumblebee always yellow and gray as opposed to yellow and black?
This is a MUST BUY for me.

Goshdangit. I thought I was done buying the movie Bumblebee mold. Now I gotta get this just for that. But the Classics repaint makes it worth it. Animated ain't bad either.

I’ve been needing an excuse to buy Premium BB, and that classics repaint is a must. Guess I’ll be ending up with a Animated Bumblebee too.
I like this news.

Ohh very cool. Definitely a buy for me. Even if I don't care for the Animated BB the other 2 more than make up for it.
I wonder if we'll see an Optimus Prime Legacy set. With Movie Voyager, Classics Voyager, and Animated Voyager.
Or a Ratchet Legacy although there's no Ratchet in classics. *Yet*

Maybe that's how they'll release Classics Ratchet? The repaints in Classics 1 were put in packs rather than sold individually, so... who knows?
Wait, Classics Cliffjumper ruins that theory. Buggeration.

Slap some flames on Classics Prime and I’d buy it.

Nice this is a must have for me since the only classic BB i have is still in the box and i never did find that movie version with the new head. Lets just hope that the walmart over here will actually have this.

if this could get spread to other characters as well then maybe that'd be a way to get a battle damaged-less deluxe animated prime instead of just the battle begins pack with damage.

I like Classics Bee. Movie with face visor might be worth it, not sure of the Animated. But is it me, or is the ani BB missing his siren light that should be on the left side of his robot mode chest

Call me crazy, but I see $29.98 as a selling point for this set.

Actually he's not really. That's apparently the Deluxe sized Animated Bumblebee which has a fake Car roof for a chest. The real roof, transforms into the back of his lower legs which is where the siren light ends up.
The Activators version on the other hand actually keeps the car roof as the chest so it keeps the Siren light there as well.
