I think I read somewhere that it's because EE sells it to other places through the wholesaler side of its business.

That's what I thought, too, until it showed up Gamestop. The other stores are big and popular for what they but are still independently owned online stores so I could see them getting them from EE wholesale, but Gamestop is a pretty massive corporate entity that EE couldn't possibly service properly. They aren't the type of company that would venture outside of their usual suppliers for one figure that's exclusive to their competition.

The price on Amazon for that Primal set is a whole lot of yikes. $194 is way too much for that set.

Yep, I was only going with official listings, but I believe Amazon will eventually have a proper listing and if they do that will definitely put a final nail in the theory that these are all coming from EE. Amazon won't get the Throne.

Exclusive rights for domestic US release, rather, but the agreement says nothing about forbidding other stores from importing stock from overseas. The same thing happened with CW Liokaiser.

Who said I forgot? Shipping and tax has absolutely nothing in the slightest to do with what I said.

Again, Gamestop, big corporate entity that only carries products from official sources, they aren't importing from Asia and definitely not carrying exclusive products from an online retailer that they directly compete with. If it weren't for Gamestop I would agree with you 100%, and had, but Gamestop throws a massive wrench in that theory.

Another somewhat recent thing is "shared" exclusives. Could be shared between EE and GameStop for whatever reason.

In store experiences much better.

This is the deluxe class Bumblebee figure we are getting for the movie and all non gimmick toys for any other movie character will also be part of Studio Series. The photos give us a good look at the accessories and deco we will be getting at mass retail and show us how small he is compared to the previous Bumblebee figure which was already quite small.
Unlike the other Studio Figures we got so far, this Bumblebee is not based on the final CG models, as is made apparent with his wings no longer being as prominent in recent screen shots. This figure should be hitting mass retail in the coming month or two as it is part of the next wave of Studio Series figures along with KSI Bot and Shadow Raider.
So, does the size bother you? Let us know your thoughts on it and if you will be getting this one or one of the many other releases of this mold.

Anyways, I know he's obviously a Bumblebee, but the different size and the tone of his design makes me want to repurpose this Bee as a different character. So while Camaro Bee is the same Autobot from the 5 movies, this Bee can be a Centurion that looks like Bumblebee when he loses his memory and thinks he is the Autobot we all know and love. Of course, the real canon will contradict my headcanon (not to mention no TF fiction is safe from confusing continuity problems), but I like to use my imagination.

Somewhere, some Hasbro/Takara toy designer is banging thier head against a wall, wondering why the movie crew changed the CGI model at the 11th hour on them like that. They know in thier heart they'll have to do a "correct" version in the not too distant future.
Bumblebee, just waiting for the bus.
