    Cool. Not surprised. But $65? Holy crap! Mine was $55 shipped. Wanted to pick up another because my figure's serious face is scratched...

    No idea on release date?

    Unless he is is swapped out with one other release
    Bumblebee + seeker (skywarp please)
    Datsun + bee

    Carrying on he probably will get a release late summer, early autumn

    Interesting. I'll happily pick up another if they give him a silver face and a brighter yellow. (Who am I kidding? I'll end up picking him up regardless, even though I don't need another one, with it being Bumblebee...)

    I like the fact it's categorised under "BOYS/SPORTS". Does this mean I can tell my wife my hobby is actually a sport?

    Please be yellow, please please please. Still not over the the leftover Buzzsaw paint they used for the Takara BB. Come on Hasbro don't let us down.

    How big will the box bee? (Hehe)

    That's good news. Skywarp news would've shattered minds though. At least my mind.

    You know your reflection is visible in the photo, right? Hopefully that won't get you into trouble with your employer...

    Agree 100%! Hasbro MP car boxes are just too large, about 2-3x the size of what they should bee. :) 

    I only have MP G2 Bumblebee, so I'd consider picking up the TRU G1 version, especially if it's a different shade of yellow from Takara's.

    I'd love to see a Hasbro MP Skywarp at TRU, especially if he is $60 like Starscream.

    Sadly I don't know how or if it's possible to find a release date in our system atm. Usually though these tend to be released in the summer.

    As others have said, a lighter canary yellow would make this a sure purchase.

    So.... TRU wants me to pay almost the same amount of money for bee as I did for Starscream?
    *scratches head*
    Um.... nope.

    Carbots should be about $40.
