    mine was missing a tail light and had a few QC issues. Managed to fix him after the replacement parts arrived. While I waited I did some sanding of the pegs on the roof a bit, and a few choice others. They accidentally sent me two left sides, and not a right left. But he plays great now tho. I am excited to get Transcraft in hand for comparison.

    Same problem. They've sent me a left side firt, and after that I got a right side from the MPM KO :rolleyes: 

    They're gonna send the right part now... just have to wait a bit... again... it's taking months pfff.

    Finally got one as well and I do really enjoy this figure. Unfortunatly the whole Roof section which compresses on his legs did also come off on mine on both legs. For bot mode they stay in place alright but I´m worried about transformation. Does anybody have an idea how to fix these?

    Is this the official thread of TE02? I saw a pre-order of a new batch. Is this figure good? Transcraft demonstrated to be a very weak figure and I want a transformable BBB.

    if you're ok with the butterball of a robot mode, he's awesome. i got him cuz he's smaller than transcraft and threezero's offerings, and i really like how it demonstrates the bb design can actually transform and have the parts end up in the right places.

    tires are rubber. also heads up to any potential buyers, the front wheels are on a double hinge and if you do it in the wrong order you could tear a joint out. like i did back in december lol

    I fully painted my Chubby Bee. I really like this little guy but it's a pity the scale he has, I can't find a proper Optimus for him.

    Fair enough. But hey there is DNA design and Dr Wu apparently coming to fix it up pretty well. Unfortunately transcraft seem to either refuse to make their prime or The BB fiasco killed it off.

    DNA designs are too expensive in my opinion. I want toys, not "jewels". Thanks!.

    Quick bump after getting MPM 12 and reacquiring TE Bumbelbee after selling him and regretting it.

    The scale works almost perfect!

    Looks great. This is such a cute bee. If my Transcraft one ever breaks (knock on wood cause it's been fine so far!) then I'll try and track this one down for sure.
