Man, that Buzzworthy Bumblebee line went from being loathed by fans to becoming the line with the hottest products. Case in point, the Origins Bumblebee figure that most people want right now. Well the wait for you is over soon since it has been found at Target in the US. This specific sighting by Tarzana, who posted it on the TFW forums, is from a Target in Dallas, Texas. They also took pictures of this figure in comparison to the other WFC Bumblebee. It seems to have a rather involved transformation. And while there is little alt mode integration, for obvious reasons, the chest is not made of fake kibble, which is pretty cool.

I'll monitor my local TrU like a hawk to spot that Bee. :michaelbay:

In a few ways I like it better than the NF version, but in a few others I wish it were more like the NF version.
And since I could never find that one, I’ll be heavily considering this.

Netflix Bumblebee is like my holy grail. Where I have access to, preorders sold out before I even notice there were preorders.
I have never seen any of that particular wave of the shelves in my neck of the woods either. Only an Amazon listing that prices it at almost $200.

Have this Buzzworthy Bee on preorder so I don't have to hunt for him now.

Where can you pre-order it?

Is it only Red Card?

A few international online stores have preorders, like this one

It's not a redcard exclusive.

Greetings Seibertronians!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user PrimeVsPrime, we now have the video review of the highly anticipated Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee ORIGIN BUMBLEBEE video review.

This is the first brand new deluxe mold in the Buzzworthy line. This Bumblebee is in his Cybertronian mode as he appeared in the very first episode of the original G1 cartoon. He looks as if he just popped out of the screen with minimum kibble and nearly perfect screen accuracy. It's also the first time ever that this Bumblebee in this mode has been made in toy form officially.

Bumblebee comes with his blaster, a jetpack, and energon rods. All brand new molds as well. His transformation is pretty involved for his size and there are no partsforming at all. Unfortunately, the energon rods won't peg anywhere in either mode.

Feast your eyes on this magnificent figure down below:

What do you think of this figure? Please leave a comment!

I just have to say...

WOW.

When this will pop in at my Toys R Us, I'll be buying this for sure!
I just hope that there will be enough units to FLOOD the market so make scalpers cry.

Nice! Another chance to get this two for people who missed them. Is that a new backdrop behind them?

Origin Bumblebee is great, and, dare I say, his robot mode looks more screen accurate than Netflix Bumblebee's! Specially the head and headsculpt. I actually saw a review of the figure yesterday, before PrimevsPrime uploaded anything, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5yJqwxGgsA&t=828s

His altmode, from above, looks great! His robot mode.. meh, not so much, but still can't wait to get him in-hand!

"Minimum kibble" when half his altmode is hanging off his back and the other half is hanging off his legs.

Comment by aronjlove Jul 24, 2021

So, are the fuel rods not 5mm? I've yet to see an image of Saucer Bee actually hold them in-hand.

Edit: NVM, watched the PvP video and they are not.

For this price point, it's excellent. Plus I've seen much, much worse as far as backpack and gribble goes.

I'm really disappointed we're not getting a new version of High Octane Bee.

Those two-packs are a neat idea, but all I need is a SS Barricade.

Comment by Sowndwave76 Jul 24, 2021

I wish there was less leg kibble, but I'm going to try and get Origins Bee.
Looks like even a $7.74 sale price isn't enough for me to keep the Bee and Spike 2 pack.

Something interesting to note on the Buzzworthy 2-packs: They're packed in cases of 4, so either one of the sets we've seen is double packed, or there's a 4th one we haven't seen yet.

Vs. Shatter I reckon. Question is, which one?
