"Ultimate Bumblebee; Hot Item"

I haven't seen him since Christmas,On one hand I feel like I missed out, but on the other, if I realy wanted him, I'd have scored him right away like I normal do.

If I see him and have the money at the time, I'll probably get hism for prosperities sake, but he may just be the one that got away.

Ether way...

I snagged one of these back at Christmas time at the local Target for about $55US. It was a pretty good deal since they retail for around $90 and go on Ebay for even more. On the down side though it's one of the most uncool transformers toys I've ever owned. The sounds it makes are pretty annoying and it doesn't really have good articulation. Still it's worth having for the collectability aspect.

I don't like him, at all. I don't even wanna buy the bootleg version of him, even though it was 1:1 scale, has working electronics and is selling at 1/4 the price. To me, it just screams "Ugly piece of ****".

I haven't seen one of these since before Christmas. They didn't intrest me then and, frankly, I'm still not intrested.

I did not like Ultimate Bumblebee at all. I was so glad that I was able to return it and get my money back. I would rather buy 8 deluxes than one ultimate.

I'll add my hate to Ult BB, you don't get youre moneys worth!

I saw one on clearance before or right after Xmas for $55.

I still passed on it.

I did like the vehicle mode a lot but $80 for a toy car? No.

Buying the ultimate BB is a proof for insanity.
Worst bumblebee ever.

I'll throw some appreciation Ultimate BB's way.

He's a very cool display piece, a behemoth of a TF. Considering that I bought Masterpiece Prime for $70 and Ultimate BB(which was a gift but I know cost $80) towers over him, at least I can feel like the prices are comparable in amount of robot that I'm getting. BB is still overpriced and I would like to have seen a few more features, but I would feel more cheated if I spent $100+ plus for an MP Megatron that I would be afraid to transform or an MP Skywarp that 2x the price of the MP Starscream that I have while being the same figure with some different paint.

The transformation is challenging, but not anymore difficult than an Alternator; in fact, I would say it's easier than most Alts and I find it to be a pretty entertaining process. He stands quite assuredly; if you have stability problems with BB, perhaps it is because his legs are not in the proper position? The 1st leg joing from the body should be at a 90 degree angle to the remainder of the leg; he is very stable that way.

The sound effects are like most sound effects and can get tiresome if overused.

I can't recommend Ult BB to everyone; if you have to scrounge up the money, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you're an adult collector looking for a nice display piece that also can be a fun conversation point while being sturdy enough to handle abuse from kids, then I think he's a worthy addition to your collection.

I can understand the criticism of BB, but I think the toy has its merits, too.
