    Actually I doubt that it was the big Bumblebee that was search for the most. I also believe it had more to do with little kids wanting it and parents not being able to find other size Bumblebees in stores.

    I friends kid wanted a bunch of the classics because I gave his brother some for last christmas. My friend and his wife then looked all over online and found and bought him Classic Hotrod and a few others, they paid about $40 something each for them. The kid is only 3yrs old and loves transformers.

    But it does mean that everyone who kept screaming that the movie would be a complete failure because they didn't use G1 designs can kindly stop shouting from the rooftops now.

    PS: This also includes the people who continued to argue (after it became apparent that the movie was a hit) that the movie would have done better if only they had used the G1 designs.

    Concept Bumblbee is still hard to find? He's been in every case that the target I work at has gotten for the past 2 weeks. We've gotten about 20 case of deluxes, so that's 20 BBs. Hell I even saw one sit for a whole day before it sold.

    Plus, looking at the prices for Ultimate BB on eBay, it's definitely parents searching for that sucker for their kids. It consitently sells out every night we get a batch in. While Ultimate BB may not be what we all wanted out of it, to a kid, it's gotta be a pretty badass toy.

    Thats great for both the WII and Transformers......but where are all the Transformers in the stores???? In my area Walmart and TRU are empty.

    On a side note I have a WII and X-box 360, both are great systems but only the WII is next gen. Definitely more fun to play.

    I own an Xbox 360 and I will admit it is cool but four words. RED RINGS OF DEATH. Actually just happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Now I am thinking about switching to PS3.

    SEMI-OFFTOPIC:

    Your brother must have been living under a rock for 5 years.

    Well, I can't really respond to that, so instead, here's Lex Luthor with his response to your statement.
