    I could see it done as an SDCC exclusive or something.

    I wish I could have memorable days I'll never forget.

    I can barely remember the day I got blackout. All I remember is, i got 3 days off from work for a personal family matter. On the last day when my collector store was getting in all new stuff, I waited all day for that phone call. Spent most of the day watching Men in Black.

    If this happens, and the box set is near the end of the line, it'd be an awesome way to end an epic line. I love Studio Series and it'll be a shame to see it end however it will eventually end one day. It has to have the best send off ever.

    This is the pickle I'm in right now. I can't get scrapmetal off of my mind even if I tried, and I can get him online for about $40, with shipping too. I just KNOW for damn certain that once I purchase it for double it's standard retail price I'll find it in stores. So I'm not sure what road to take.

    Rare finds. Scale background fodder for Bayhem scenes. It's quite easy to find various sports cars in different scales. But finding a 1/27 Chrysler minivan or 1/28 Mini Cooper is something to jump on. Regular cars in MPM scale.

    Sam: I know Bee. You're the best car I could ever ask for. We're just borrowing this van for a camping trip.... To enjoy nature... Alone.

    Bumblebee: [radio tunes to Nancy Kerrigan] "WWHHYYYYYY???!!!!!"

    I ordered the new Studio Series Bumblebee yesterday from Amazon and Mom got an e-mail this morning from them that said it shipped. I hope it arrives tomorrow and is correctly assembled.

    Me personally I'd just go and buy it. I tried to look online to see if they had a lower price but sadly no. I'd look on eBay if I were you.

    I third this!

    Correctly assembled?

    Bold of you to assume he'd want to share it with anyone

    I've been tempted to invest in them, but I can't bring myself to spend $30 on just the hands. The rest of the kit doesn't really interest me

    There are posts several pages ago from members who got a copy of SS-49 that had some assembly errors.

    I’m so jealous of that Flame Toys Drift you got right there. Hgnnghhhh. I digress.


    By the way, does anyone possibly have an MPM Bumblebee in good condition they’d be willing to sell or trade? I have some movie bots in my sales page that I’d be willing to trade. If you fit the bill, feel free to PM me. Thanks!

    Yeah, I would have escaped the addiction of collecting (probably) if SS didn't come. Now that it's here, I'm collecting many of the figures (which are all fantastic in their own way) with everyone on this thread! As @Lazerwave said, SS is really here to make our dreams come true. I thought that SS would only last 2-3 waves... But look how far we've come! And we are nowhere near the end.

    That's an amazing haul. now for the hardest part - who to open first?

    I was planning to slow down after Prime Wars, but Hastak brings out Studio Series so here I am still going strong in the collecting game :D

    I will be happy once it’s over though. Or rather, content. I’ll have the collection I always dreamed of since TF2007 came out. And then I’ll pretty much retire. I’ll still collect cool TFs here and there for my Optimus/Megatron and misc shelves, but I won’t be diving into entire lines or anything. Hell I’m already practically done now that the 2007 cast is complete (minus Frenzy).
