    He's available at BBTS still for $9.69, counting shipping.

    Deluxe 2011 Series 02 - Bumblebee (Classics Redeco) - Transformers 2010 - 2011 Transformers Deluxe

    I just added him to my PoL and already had the United Bumblebee and the Legacy of Bumblebee three-pack as well (I looked one day on a whim a month or so ago and it was there, go figure), so I'm covered. I look forward to all three heads from Venksta!

    If there's a red Bumper head done as well, then I'm definitely signing up.

    Probably (I can't speak for Venksta) but the Classics Bee head fits on the WFC body, so one would think it would.

    Venkstas heads rules and I want all of these too, looking promising and I love the classic Bumblebee-mold so it will be great making them into diffrent characters.

    Too bad they didn't release Cliffjumper in two diffrent decos, then maybe we could have gotten a custom Chase head too.

    Depends. The balljoints themselves are compatible, but the head design itself is not. If you stick Classics 'Bee's head on the WFC body, it's stuck permanently looking up, and it can't transform anymore.

    The WFC head has the balljoint socket centered, whereas the Classics head has the neck joint at the back of the head.

    Hubcap will be mine. I wish I collected the others; especially Goldbug as he's one of my favorite G1 characters.

    Excellent designs though.

    I think I'm going to stop at the toy store tomorrow or Sunday and snag a United Bumblebee for Goldbug. Then I'll just keep my RTS one as regular BB.
