Official Images and Packaging Revealed for Transformers Tribute Bumblebee Three Pack

Agreed.

Is it wrong I want this set, and may actually want to keep it misb?

Probably won't though. really want to experience those 2 classic bee molds that i've never handled. And of course new Bee.

Though handling may need to wait until my hand heals from its unfortunate accident, 5 weeks in a cast...

what is the price for this set?

That packaging is great, mold choices less so. I liked the original '07 Bumblebee, but it really is high time we got a more accurate rendition of that design. High Octane Bumblebee is nice, and I like that he's based on a classic Camaro that everybody liked, but still not an inspiring mold choice. And TLK Bumblebee...ech, not a fan. All those hollow bits and that hideous grey plastic.

Granted, I'm not sure what molds I would have chosen as all the good Movie Bee molds were released fairly close together and with similar alt modes, but there's a fair few really good ones (07 Concept Camaro, HFTD Battle Blade, the DOTM mold and its wonderful gun, heck, even Nitro Bumblebee for originality's sake) and these seem like some of the more...forgettable molds.

Sorry, but I'm kind of a car need too and cannot ignore this classic mistake. It's a beat up 76 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Just had to say.

It's fine. Hasbro can never decide what to put on the package, as they have it labeled wrong here too. I'd be quick to point out if they messed up a Japanese make/model/year, not so much on American vehicles

I'm begging to think some great evil has threatened Hasbro with killing them all if they actually paint their movie figures, the molds are ok, the paintjobs SUCK, I expected an exclusive to ACTUALLY PAINT THE GOD DAMN TOYS FROM THE WAIST DOWN PROPERLY.
Sorry, but High Octane Bee looks bad like that, and so does the new mold, which actually is pretty good and finally has the mini wings on the deluxe scale and remembers that Nitro Bee had the wheels inside the ankles, something no other Bumblee other than the MP has gotten right.

That is a pretty awesome set! But I have 2 of the 3 already, so I'll pass

Amazon.com is the exclusive retailer for the Transformers Tribute line in the US and their listing for the redeco of the first movie Leader Optimus Prime toy is now live. The toy, listed as Transformers Movie Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime, can be bought as of now for the price of $79.99. The listing also included new official images. Are any of you going to pull the trigger? Let us know!

Is pretty. It may have been eclipsed by the RotF and Masterpiece movie Primes but that's still one of the best Transformer toys ever made in my opinion. Quicker to actually transform than those ones too.

The chrome is nice, but the grey plastic kills it, and the lack of the orange fade is criminal. I'd rather they'd nixed the chrome if it had meant the rest of the grey could have been silver.

A shame as that mold looks pretty cool. Sure it's not accurate but it looks...neat. Like, I kinda wish the movie model had looked more like that- blocky and classically robotic but still with the modern elements needed to make it look realistic.

I don't. I like this figure yeah but I was real pleased they managed to do one more like actual movie Prime's proper shape and proportions with the RotF figure cos I far prefer his design over super blocky Prime's anyway. There's been enough blocky Primes.
