    You know? I'm starting to get concerned. Very little and I mean very little of ROTF Transformers has got me too interested so far. This Ultimate Bumbee is a prime example. (No pun intended.) My Ultimate Bee is still in the box.

    Yeah I gotta share my concerns - where exactly did Hasbro do their market research for this? I can go out, right now, in this desolate Northern English Toy Wasteland I call home, drive into town, and buy four. They just didn't seem to sell, and what's more, they sucked. So.... wtf?

    If the mask actually slides down, and if they were make the weapon arm interchangable with his regular then I would buy it. I passed on the first mold, and unless some major changes happen here (doubtful) I will pass again.

    I would have bought the original if only the cannon arm wasn't so terribly bad. Also, another chest would have been nice..

    If the new one still has the horrible arm, I'm going to skip it again.

    That Ultimate BB fig still leaves me astounded in just how much it pales in comparison to the deluxe BB figure.

    what do you want to bet they didn't even need to mold a new bach of these things? They probably just gathered up all the ones that didn't sell, stuck on the new heads, and then repackaged them.

    Premium Prime, Premium Megatron, Premium Blackout, Premium Ironhide, Leader Brawl, Incinerator, Salvage, Camshaft, Overcast, Payload, Stockade, Cliffjumper and Stealth Bumblebee are still warming shelves. I guess they must be really bad figures too then.

    Passed on it when I saw it didn't look anything like the picture on the box it was in. Maybe if it were half the price to start with I would have been more interested, but now even when it's on clearance everywhere I don't want the thing.

    UBB Was a great toy, it allowed the whole family including wife (who's not too into TF's) to have enjoyable fun! So much that I actually took a picture of her playing with it! Although a new mold with just a few new parts may not justify the buy especially since you have one already! It jumped off the shelfs at my location very quickly, matter of factly I purchased the last one after my brother-in-law got the one before mine! (Too many "!" I'll end with a ?)

    Fail!
    Passed on the first one.
    Way too expensive.
    Doubt this one will be any different.
    Would rather hasbro put money into animated omega supreme.
