Two pictures have surfaced on ACToys.net of a Wal-Mart exclusive 3 pack containing Classics Bumblebee with a new paintjob, Premium Concept Bumblebee and Animated Bumblebee. This is the first look at this product, and release date is currently not know, but we will keep you informed as we find out more information. You can view the original thread here.

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.
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.
