Man that is more disappointing than what happened in the movie...

 

Found in Melbourne too.

instant buy! like that red. definitely gonna buy both him and bumblebee.. a new head would have been better though

 

WTF! Found him at German retail. The EAN isn't even in the system yet.

 

Seen at the Real store in Duisburg-Meiderich.


Obviously, being (supposedly) the second person to have ever seen him at retail, I couldn't resist, so I bought him.


The Hasbro product code number is E0743 (one higher than Bumblebee, who is E0742) while the EAN barcode is 5010993576739, but the latter will be completely useless to anyone outisde Europe because you need a twelve-digit UPC that begins with 630509, not a 13-digit EAN.

Some out-of-packaging images:


Side by side with Bumblebee:

 

Another repaint.... nothing to see here folks.

 

What's funny about this is that- then again, yeah. This is sorta more peculiar than funny, considering that there were two bumblebee Speed Igniters and they picked the one with the beetle alt mode. I thought it was an Bumblebee (And Glyph) only thing.

 

Can they do this with the SS Release? I'm building up a VW display!  

 

Sold ... i want an infestation of beatles 

 

poor cliffjumper....the guy deserves his own mold

 

Could still use a photo of the UPC barcode...

 

Unless you're a Diaclone/Microchange fan, then there most assuredly IS something to see here.

 

I'd love to see a Glyph in this line or Generations. I've been waiting years for a new and more poseable one.
(I'd settle for another third party version if need be. *looks at Iron Factory hopefully*

Do the German and Australian releases have different barcodes?

 

Man, Cliffjumper just can't ever catch a break, can he? Seriously, the guy deserves his own mold in one of the toylines.

 

As I explained before in other threads, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Asia typically get toys in packaging sporting twelve-digit UPC barcodes that begin with 630509, while European countries (plus apparently South Africa and Israel?) get toys in packaging sporting thirteen-digit EAN barcodes that begin with 5010993.

“You want a piece of me?”

 

I see what I can do. If I get it, I will let you know.

 

*stares at photos of Cliffjumper and Bumblebee comparison pics*
I'm probably going to buy this guy. He may be a red Bumblebee,but he's still Cliffjumper,and that's what makes him worth it to me. Any redecos that Hasbro makes of this mold will likely be bought by me as well.
