    And now my fake OCD can finally be satisfied.

    Good. Larger box = increase in price.

    Checked earlier today, the D.C. hasn't put in an order yet. When they do, we could have them on the shelf anywhere from a week to a month afterward.

    My guess is he'll start hitting DC's the first week in July. From there he should be at your given store within a week.


    Oh, and I thought it was worth noting that he ships in a casepack of 4. This is the first masterpiece to do so.

    But this is the kind of thing that I'm talking about. The final product in typical TT fashion doesn't use this kind of legal recourse protection lingo. I feel like the suits have too much control over the final product when Hasbro is involved. It's all a moot point anyways. I've paid for the figure and I look forward to getting it.

    anyway, looking at the reviews we have seen (counting the guys in weibo), this bee has a great quality build.

    Anyway, i can understand if someones really find the yellow kinda annoying.

    Well, now looks like the real camaro (doesn't mean a good thing actually).

    Okay, while I was first in line, there were a number of people behind me who were holding MPM Bees as well. This is a good sign, considering it's still early in the morning on a weekday. (^.^)

    I'll open him when I get back home, which will be in about an hour. (^.^)

    Wish his vehicle mode didn't look like 'Generic Bumblebee package you can buy at your local Chevy Dealership."

    Was hoping he would at least look like the concept Camaro from the 07 film, or give us a decent toy of the DOTM bee.

    Well, it does... it looks like the standard Bee Camaro package from 2010. It just doesn't look like the concept model from the 07 movie.

    My theory is that Chevy wouldn't let HasTak make a licensed toy out of an old concept model when the 2010 model is still available on the market. It's unfortunate to say the least.

    AND SO IT BEGINS.

    Oh snap! They can reach the correct position after all! This guy and Prime are both must-buys.

    I don't like jokes on the Internet. They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere. Not to mention they're hard to discern.

    In the middle of my first transformation and HOLY COW am I enjoying myself. (^.^)

    To confirm, I can say that the entire car is painted. It has that sparkly metal finish that's impossible to get across on camera.

    Looks like G1 MP Bee and MPM-3 Bee should trade yellow paint for better screen accuracy on both ends.

    Just happy were finally getting these movie figures in masterpiece form.
