Collectors only represent a fraction of the market. All the kids who missed out on Leader Bee because they were too young around the time DOTM came out or just couldn't afford it (well, their parents) might be interested in getting one now.
Mister Chief
Can't wait they look great, also i think its funny that grimlock and strafe have red eyes and scorn has blue

Agreed. That mold's actually not bad, but I'm still getting rid of it, because it just doesn't fit in my collection anywhere.

many other adult collectors?.. for a repaint of leader bumblebee?.. are you serious?.. there might be a couple other people, but there certainly aren't "many".. it's a repaint of a mold that looks nothing like the current bumblebee in AOE.. had it been a new mold, then i'd agree and say that more people would want it or at least be interested. but as it is, i doubt there very much interest in it at all.. and it'll probably spend a while on the shelves like the original leader bumblebee.
it's just too big. it doesn't fit in with people's collections. and most of all, like i pointed out earlier, it's just a repaint. they're trying to pass off the old camaro for the new one. that's pretty lame.
i'm definitely going to get the deluxe bumblebee's.. they'll fit my collection better. but i'm not going to get a bunch of repaints like you have.

Not sure this means much of anything, but I noticed on the race track set that OP has his trailer while in the new Western Star truck mode. Never saw that before. Possible to CGI that trailer as it was never seen during filming that I was aware of?

Yeah, everything I saw in those pics just reaffirms my desire to stick with Takara Masterpiece Transformer figures. Other than those, the Transformer's line is dead to me here in the U.S. just like how the Gi Joe line is dead and has been for quite some time.

They better release that 3 pack of Ratchet figures in the US. I want it!
Autovolt 127
It hurts alot.
Anyways the mini-figures look cruddy.
Hot Shot.
That timeline chart completely leaves out RiD and the Unicron Trilogy. It sure is nice to know that your generation is loved…
Tman978
All those bill boards and charts skip the AEC trilogy like it didn't exist.
GAUGE
some of the displays are pretty cool.

I'm glad they showed what the 3D puzzle pieces look like all put together.
jru42287
I was wondering the same thing. Seems weird that they wouldn't put the new truck's design on the box art for the other leader…
Also, are we seriously just rereleasing Leader Bee and trying to pass it off as the new one?
Snake_eyes1975
thanks for the updated pics..
I have ZERO interest in minifigs

I guess we are all excited because at long last,there's Dinobot in the show,nice.
FoC Grimlock
The Dinobots are pretty well stealing the (toy)show which is kind of what I expected. Grimlock and Slug are great. Bee fans are well taken care of again. Evasion prime is looking alright. I'm hoping for a rusty truck version of MP10 eventually.
Hollywood Hoist
So if you don't want something that means no one wants it? I personally want the figure and I'm sure there are many other adult collectors do as well

The "Evasion Mode" label is even dropped from the box art.
I hope I hope I hope
