    Is the same height as Hot Soldiers Bee, and far less G1.

    Yes, but he doesn't have a hollow body, nor does he look like a 1940's refrigerator with legs. Personally, I prefer TR Bee for my collection, but really, to each his own. Use what you think works best for you.

    They are roughly the same height, but TR Bee's eye level is a little lower, and that alone makes it so he doesn't look taller than say, TR Brawn, which I can't say about HS Bee. And again, TR Bee doesn't look pudgy like the HS version.

    Well now I have both Flipper and Gremlin, and those two are wonderful. Hot Soldiers Bee hangs out with the Hasbro mini cars.

    New Age Bee is the perfect size to me at 6cm. He should be the smallest of the minibots IMO. MS Beachcomber and Seaspray look to work well with him at 7 cm.

    If he wasn't such a BS seller I would totally by this right now. But I dont feel like waiting till Thanksgiving or Christmas to get Grimlock in.

    Woah what? I've used him probably a dozen times, I know many others here have too. Is this about the switch to Speedpak shipping? I think that might be happening with many Chinese sellers as this was an eBay promoted thing, so it might not be exclusive to hzj401. Even so my last package took less than 1 month total so even if you order now you should get it before Halloween.

    You're welcome to wait. Hzj has never taken over 3 weeks from purchase date for any item to get to me. That's a lot quicker than you can expect any domestic retailer to have these in stock.

    It also probably helps that I buy in bulk when I order from him.

    I love saving money buying from China sellers, but I've noticed that not only does a package take longer to get to me now, but sellers are also taking longer to ship stuff out. I buy from multiple China sellers as well, so from what I can see there's no avoiding the wait, so I should just stop worrying about it and accept it. :lol

    Yeah he’s basically my pusher for plastic crack right now. I’ve got a few things in transit now so the jury is out on speedpak but I’ve had no problems with him/her(?).

    Keep in mind the terrible hurricane that just passed through on top of the hectic everything-getting-released-at-once time we're at.

    HZJ is definitely not a B.S. seller. He ships out twice a week. Most orders take 2 weeks, sometimes a few days longer.

    Did you have a negative experience with this seller? Or were you just complaining because you don't like to order from China? I'm curious to know what your issue is with HZJ.

    I took a chance and bought 5 bots from him in bulk on Sept 1st and he didn't even ship them out till the 12th and now my delivery date is Nov 12th.

    Speedpak or not he should not have waited 12 days to get my order in the mail. I am not alone with this right now. He/they have been dragging ass right now with shipping bots out.

    Almost all of the other chinese sellers have still been getting people their orders in about 2 weeks.
