    Bumblebee looks great! But when is 3A going to start doing things in scale with each other. First it was an undersized Starscream and now an oversized Bumblebee.

    People receiving Optimus now are the people who pre-ordered him over a year ago. From Bambaland. Those preorders closed like a year ago from now, if not earlier. Your only chance is to get it from a retailer when they get their stock in a few months if they have any, or buy it on the aftermarket.

    Damn seeing Bumblebee starting to trickle out is making me hope that Optimus will be done shipping soon. Any one know the likely hood of it taking until after Xmas for Optimus to be done shipping out?

    Awesome custom blaster for Prime UNMC.

    Additionally, something about Bee's chest was bothering me. Now I see what it is:

    The racing stripes along the hood is missing.

    Bumblebee looks awesome, maybe I was wrong, when refused buying him:( 
    Try to look at Bigbadtoystore, TFsource or so, maybe they will have the figures instock after they arrive.

    TF5 Bumblebee's Camaro hasn't classic two stripes, just black central part on the hood. I have noticed it during London filming.

    Where did you get the blaster?
    I like the paint detailing too.

    It is this one that was made for the 1/22 Comicave Prime figure. I think it looks better with Three A figure. I used a can of flat black spray paint to give it just a little more weathering to match the figures other weapons. I picked this up for about $30. a1.jpg

    For a long time I was scared to pose my Optimus so left him in the pose he came with out the box (which was undoubtedly done for space saving purposes).

    I finally was like ‘screw it’ and decided to give him a proper pose. Might not be the most daring of poses but look how much better he looks!

    So to all of you guys who will be first time 3A owners, don’t be afraid to pose your figure!

    I'm almost starting to think I like TLK Bee more than DOTM. I didn't really think DOTM Bee would ever be topped. It's a shame since I really don't like AOE and TLK Optimus, especially compared to DOTM Optimus.

    There is a part that fall off when I move the Left leg. I'm unable to attach it back in place. Upon further checking, I discover a letter "R" on this part which I believed indicates that this part is supposed to be for the Right leg, but had been mistakenly assembled to the Left leg.

    I've contact CS but yet to get any reply. Not sure but @decemberist can you help to look into this?

    Squeaks is actually accurate to the movie sense he can't even transform.

    They are re releasing Optimus and Bumblebee due to high demand so those of you who missed out on the AOE Prime head, now is your chance.

    Ikr! Actually quite annoying as I’ve literally just paid my remaining balance on both of these and I would’ve loved to have got Bee with the cannon :( :mad:

    Damn that’s annoying.

    To be honest, they should allow those that have already paid the chance to just purchase the accessories as well.

    Is it confirmed that these reissues will come with the Bambaland exclusive parts?
