I've already got classic BB, concept BB, cannon BB, and HA BB. Until they release a new mold that consists of ~90% new parts, no thanks.
If only this was the Cannon Bumblebee mold... and was red... with a gun arm... and was called Cliffjumper... Ask Beast Wars Dinobot. Or G1 Bruticus.
If they did a redeco of Cannon Bumblebee as Cliffjumper, I'd be all over it. Because something seems so right about a Cliffjumper with guns in his shoulders.
Wow, this deluxe movie BB mold is set to hit the double digits, and that's just crazy (not even a seeker mold). So, what, we have: 08BB allspark 08BB stealth BB premium BB Cliffjumper movie 2 BB movie 2 cannon BB now this. That's 8!!! Missing any?
Ah yes. Cause we all wanted yet another BB instead of.......say.......Buster Prime? I've been a serious fan of Camaros for a long time. I bought all the first movie BBs for that reason. That was enough. I'm done. HA wins. Its only downhill from there.
Right... what is the point, exactly? What, they slapped on a new decal and that warrants a whole new release? That's ridiculous. Man, I got the first version of the Concept Camaro mould in 2007, and that sucked ass, so I sold it. If that had quality control problems, I really just could not imagine the quality control with this. Encore Bruticus had some horrible mould degradation, but, I believe this mould has been used more than that mould now. This is ridiculous. I don't even own a Movie Bumblebee, but I am going to get the Human Alliance, and that is IT. You're missing some. Let me name them all that share the same/similar mould. Or at least, I'll try. First Movie: 2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee 2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Premium (new head, grey paint) 2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Screen Battles (same as premium, except without the new head) 2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Allspark Powered 2009 Concept Camaro Cliffjumper 2009 Concept Camaro Stealth Bumblebee 2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Battle-damaged (from the Evolution of a Hero two-pack) Second Movie: 2010 Concept Camaro Preview Bumblebee (new head, new arm, remoulded bumper and hood) 2010 Concept Camaro Cannon Bumblebee (ok, it has a new torso. But from the waist down, it's the same toy) 2010 Concept Camaro Bumblebee: This piece of crap. So yea, I just listed two more. I think I may also be missing one or two. Damn, this mould is overused, and I hate it. Human Alliance all the way. But it's the dumbasses that just keep buying these. They are the ones that are basically telling Hasbro for us "Please give us more useless, pointless, shitty, uncreative repaints because we WILL buy them!"
A. Because a redeco costs much less to produce than a new mold. B. Because another toy of the kid-favorite hero character will sell 7000% better than one of a character who appeared in 2.9 seconds of the film. C. Because they hate you. D. All of the above.
Its been explained in this thread several times now, if you still don't understand then I honestly don't know what to say. Unrealistic comment is unrealistic. Bumblebee sells like crack to the target audience, i.e. kids. As evidenced in this thread, most collectors won't touch this, but as it'll be the only deluxe Bee on the shelf when it hits it -will- sell. I've seen Cannon Bee on the shelf maybe twice since Wave 3 hit back in July. Only reason Preview Bee ever hit saturation was because he shipped 4 to a case or something during the product launch.
Wait. We're gonna get a Red Rampage?!?!!?!?!? WTF?!?! Also, TCJJ, what is the difference between Preview Bumblebee, and regular Bumblebee? You also forgot Human Aliance Bumblebee, and the giant Ultimate Bumblebe, now called Battle Charged.
Okay, okay... that's it. F*** this ****ing mold! Enough is enough! Bumblebee can go to toy robot hell already. It's really a pretty good mold, but give it a rest Hasbro! How about you repaint it into some new colours or characters? How about a new headsculpt? I mean GEEZ! zmog
HA and Ultimate are not the same mold as the deluxe class figure this is based on. That size class is the one he is listing.
because i missed out on the regular Rotf BB molds in my area.....they just vanished plus I like the Roof stripes rubbing alcohol should get rid of the excess stuff on the sides.
