And he's released in the Bumblebee line?They call him Bluestreak with the black and silver color scheme because that was the name they chose for him in G1 (in reference to the expression "to talk a blue streak") and that was the Diaclone Fairlady color scheme the G1 cartoon used for him (whereas the toy used an adulterated all-silver version for whatever reason). Now, they may have meant to use the blue-sided scheme, since that would have added another layer to the name and it is the one featured in the catalog and his instructions, but they didn't. Despite many playground rumors to the contrary.Blastback wrote:Wait, they call him Bluestreak with the Black and silver colorschem, and Silverstreak with the blue and silver?
Because "Buzzworthy Bumblebee" is in practice an odds-and-ends line. It's just that "Buzzworthy Bumblebee" sounds snappier than "The Transformers: Odds and Ends".Blastback wrote:And he's released in the Bumblebee line?

Don't get enough of those.That's the whole joke of the name's use. They're using the opposite name for the opposite color scheme, on purpose, to make that joke.Blastback wrote:I'm familiar with where the Silverstreak name comes from, it's just wierd that that's the name they role with when they relese him with the blue paint job.

Sowndwave76 wrote:Yeah I’ve been meaning to ask if the Buzzworthy Kup & Cliffjumper have been difficult for people to find…
As far as I know, my Target has only had them the time I saw them. There were 3 of each based on 3 B-127’s. There were two of each of them, & I took one of each.
I go to Target a lot, & haven’t seen them since.
Not any B-127’s either.
Today there were 8-9 Origin Bee’s, & that was it for that line minus the Megatron multi-pack things… 6-7 of those.
I would’ve thought with the work they put into those repaints, they would be really plentiful.
But maybe not?
Speaking of Cliffy, did you already sell your ER Cliffjumper?Wolfman Jake wrote:I checked five Targets yesterday. No Silverstreak, but I did find Legacy Bulkhead! He was the only legacy figure on the shelf, and the top of the box was a little damaged, but the figure itself was fine.
Is Silverstreak just his own solid case assortment like Origins Bumblebee? They must be a separate thing altogether from the Deluxe Class cases that are mostly Studio Series repaints? Also, Cliffjumper is definitely the rarest find right now. I only found one by asking a kind employee to check the stock room. I’ve never seen one on the pegs, but I’ve seen a few Kups and even more B-127s.

Interesting... I really would've thought it was a case of 2, 2, and 2...
If it's packed how you listed it, that means there was 6 B-127's on the pegs, and when I bought CJ and Kup there were only 3...
Obviously it's possible, but it seems odd that Cliffjumper would be the single when Kup has already been repacked in SS86.

Either way, again, I'm a little surprised those 2 have been at all difficult to get a hold of.
