Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM3 Bumblebee Listing on Toysrus.ca and Found at Canadian Retail

Posted by william-james88 Jul 3, 2017 at 6:18pm CDT 27,786 views
We have more details on Bumblebee's release as a Toysrus exclusive in North America, at least for Canada. He is listed at the price of $129.99 CDN, which is exactly $99.99 USD (much lower than anticipated based on Hasbro's recent overestimate of currency exchange). He is also limited at 2 per buyer, which is always welcomed for sought after items. He is currently not available but should be shortly. There is also a Hasbro coupon for $20 off anything over $50 so any Canadian fan could get this toy for $109.99 instead. The coupon can only be used in stores but that is good news since this toy has already been found in both Ontario and Quebec stores.

I'm actually a little surprised he didn't come with a small Allspark cube as an accessory.

Yeah, the lack of accessories is a major disappointment. I can't help but feel like this is the result of Hasbros involvement.

I'll definitely wait for clearance. Because I'm pretty sure plenty will be available and those overpriced items always come on sale sooner than later.

But the real reason is that I'm currently buying something HUGE from my local seller... I still have 2 to 4 months of payments to make... Yeah, I'm nut. 8-}

I dunno Kan... not saying it isn't possible... just saying this one might be hard to call. This isn't MP-08 Bee or YOTM Primal. He's got more going for him than they did. People actually want this figure, he's 100% new, and he's not as (grossly) overpriced as they were.

If stock and distribution is limited, I think your wait it out strategy will screw you. He'll absolutely be in demand, at least initially. It'll all depend on how many actually hit shelves.

It's still a wait-n-see for me. Mainly because I can't Hasbro coupon and my money MUST go elsewhere.

It's still Bee. It's impossible that there's no hive that will be unleashed at every stores.

Based on mine, and the vast majority of online reports, if you pay full price, you're gonna have the regrets.

Unless you leave it as a display piece only, I guess. >:oP

Good luck to you all, though. It really is a beautiful looking figure, it just doesn't hold up. :(

No, he's not worth that much.

Him however...

TF G1 Scorponok 1.jpg


99% complete. Just missing one tiny Fastrack gun. 574$CAN with taxes.
I could have one 100% complete for the same overall prise (thus saving around 40$CAN being the price that gun go for) but he's the only one who was willing to take in 174$ in trade as the first payment and setting it aside until I pay the rest by paying 100$CAN minimum monthly.

I had to jump on the occasion. This universal grail had to be mine!

One thing for sure, I will not buy any TF this year at Comiccon.
(BTW, Will, check your inbox!)

Just the ottawa region so far and some other areas in ontario but I dont think anyone spotted him in the GTA area. He`s being distributed around so I am sure you will find him soon.

Soooo... I got him.
Lots has been said about him, mostly negative. Out of the box, he's 90% in car mode and getting him that last 10% of the way is a son of a B! Getting all tabbed in is such a pain, but it can be done, and he does look good once that wizardry is preformed.

The transformation is complex and he pulls off some neat moves. His proportions are perfect, like he came right off the screen of the first movie. And he is the very definition of "pictures don't do it justice". And sorry, my pics do suck :lol: . I've heard he can be quite loose, but at least on my copy I have no issue posing him. And damn, can he pose!

I think what I'm most impressed with is his face sculpt, and legs (looks and transformation). Maskless, he looks outstanding. That face sculpt. Mahgawd. But that mask... it doesn't look terrible, but (on my copy at least) is very unstable. Trying to move it into place causes it to snap off almost every time. Anyways... legs! The legs incorporating the wheels is god damn brilliant. Also: diecast. He's got a fair amount. He's weighty and feels good.

But in the end I don't know if I can recommend him since quality seems to vary so much. But I absolutely love him. Thumbs up.

It begins. Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth - featuring so far some older reveals from existing toylines. In this post, we cover Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-3 Bumblebee!

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues across the weekend, with more toy images, the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

As we're receiving several notifications from US-based Seibertronians of the Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-3 Bumblebee, we decided to make sure people were aware that the figure is indeed available at general retail in the States - at Toys'R'Us stores, of course.

Current confirmed sightings include Westland, MI (via Cprime18), Rockford, IL (from Rodimus Knight), Niles, IL (by our boss Seibertron). If you come across any more, make sure to use the Sightings Database to let other collectors know!

Found him at my TRU. MP-10 was there too. I find it interesting to see :TAKARATOMY: on a box in a retail store. It's something I don't see that often.

I have a question, and Will you're probably the one the most in the know...

I've got two MPM-3's. One bought from eBay hailing from China (I think), the other locally from TRU. Both are quite similar, but with slight differences. Would you consider the TRU one to be Hasbro US/CA, and the other one to be Hasbro Asia? (pics at bottom of post)

The TakaraTomy releases of these new MPM's are very confusing. Neither TT versions are out yet I think. Bee is showing a release date of this month, and Prime being in September. And we don't know what their boxes look like for sure, whether they'll be the same as the others or completely different. We know the figures themselves will be different, but not the boxes.... right? :-?

And yes, I've seen this pic, but I don't believe it's anything more than a mock up, possibly even unofficial.
