    if I was good at painting, and could think of a great idea for a crew build with him, I'd be all over a bunch of those. Perhaps a BUNCH of different versions. Zombie, rusted, battle damage, shattered glass, bug bite, cliffjumper, different color variations never made. The ideas are quite robust.

    And this is why I'm pre-ordering Wave 3 Deluxes from BBTS.

    Still, at least it's fading away some. Once the line gets moving, we'll be seeing less BB.

    My Target is sitting on about a dozen plus of of those BB's, and a bunch of the shelfwarming DOTM usuals still too.

    Self Fulfilling Prophecy is self fulfilling. If the only thing on the shelves is Bumblebee, they will eventually sell.

    It's terrible! I'm allergic to Bees and every time I enter a TRU or a Walmart or Target, a swarm descends upon me! D: We need a major holiday to take out these Beehives and Hasbro needs to stop uber-packing them!

    Dear Hasbro/Retailers... Just because I love cookies doesn't mean I'll eat the whole box in one sit. 2, 3, and with a glass of cold milk, fine. But not 30! That'll make me sick!

    It's the same thing you are doing here.

    Yup. If someone intends to buy a Transformer and their only available choice (or non-choice) is Bumblebee then it's highly likely they'll buy a Bumblebee.

    The post I made about the various Bee idea's, is PERFECT for me to practice on customizing, so I can use the spruced up talents I gain on figures that I want.

    I can draw, but painting isn't a strong suit, so if I get better, I can sell the bee customs for cash, and get the figures I want...Holy crap...Bee may be profitable for me ahahhahahahahaha ahem

    Ha, you could be onto something here! Get the show creators to write an episode where bumblebee gets cloned dozens of times, and boom, the army builders will be out in droves, hoovering up that yellow plague!

    Ah yes, because what TFW needed was more complaining about Bumblebee toys.

    But not all the cookies are for you, and nobody is making you eat them.
