    My guess is that Unicron was extended and Bumblebee V2 was delayed to give our wallets a break. Unicron and Prime V3 originally had the same release/payment due date and Bee was only a month later. I know in my case I’m buying all three so I was happy about the delays for Unicron and Bee.

    The production rejects (or whatever they are) of Bee escaped into the wild a few months ago so I’m thinking he was assembled on time and they’ve just been sitting on the product and delayed shipment for two months. I believe MP-45 and 46 are made in the same factory.

    The Amazon ship dates are always a worst case scenario and they normally ship faster. I have the same delivery dates as everyone else but DHL has both my Bee V2 and Blackarachnia on the way and the estimated delivery date is Tuesday but I expect it to be Monday cause they’re usually early. My wife works for Canada Post but DHL is my true fast shipping love (don’t tell my wife)!

    Makes a ton of sense. I didn’t even think about Unicron’s crowdfunding payment interferring with Prime and Bee.

    Update: The Flight of the Bumblebees is set to land Wednesday. Blackarachnia comes in today and I’ll need a can of bug spray.

    Got mine today.

    He’s wonderful. Really captures the spirit of Bumblebee in my eyes. The backpack is a non issue but the feet are undeniably messy. They are however no bigger than v1s feet.

    He’s very small and feels very light.

    Other things I like over v1:
    - he’s yellow, not orange
    - has an accurate face, I had to buy a 3p face for my v1
    - much better proportions , especially in the legs area
    - helmet is not shaped like Unicron’s

    I don’t like the size and positioning of his Autobot logo though.

    Shipped by Amazon Japan on Monday, delivered in The Netherlands this evening. Now that's fast!

    Bumblebee is looking great in hand. Great color, great faces. All the faces fit fine on my copy. I was worried that two faces had damages, but it was a kind of dirt or maybe paint from something else, which I could just rub off easily.

    Backpack is less of an issue in hand. It doesn't tap together very firmly, but enough to hold. Make sure to pull out that pin holding that circle on his back. Not too fond of the heals of the feet, even though it's not as bad in hand, but it's the only real negative point about this cute, little Bee.

    The hips on my copy are somewhat loose, so will drip some HG Product 77 (a Future like product) in there. Range of motion is great, highly posable. An awesome Masterpiece. Only transformed him to robot for now. No time for fiddling around at the moment unfortunately.

    Very happy with him. Was not expecting being this happy with him due to the feet and backpack, but in hand it's really much less an issue. More Minibots please TT! :)

    Holy crap, my Bee also came early! Just arrived! Wasn't supposed to until Friday or Saturday per tracking and order details. Shipped Sunday received Wednesday. Crazy.

    Well, mine is fine. One paint scratch on the inside of one forearm. The whole thing pegs together solidly in alt mode too. Very happy.

    The only pic I have is with Blackarachnia’s and Hound’s exclusive pins.

    so sadly I’ve been asked not to share the photo.

    but once these all get to my house in about a week I can personally take some pics without Hound’s and upload them. But I’m sure someone else will have posted pics before then anyways.
