    Looks like they fixed the antennas on the prototype from the last photo on their website. Really glad they did. This was the only thing holding me back from pre-ordering.

    I would wait for a 2007 Bumblebee to go with the bayverse Prime they're releasing but they'd probably take years to release that so I might have to get this one. I must admit, he looks amazing!

    These have been really nice. Better than the MPMs in appearance and QC. I'm not going to buy all of these, but I will grab ROTF Prime and probably this Bee too.

    With foreseeable slight delays, I’d give them until October.

    If you check out the official Threezero web page, down at the bottom, they have their release schedule. Bee isn't on it for this year.

    Maybe something will change but dont count on retailer "release dates" being accurate.

    Yeah, I hope that one ships this year. I have dozens of threezero/threea figs. All ordered direct fro them (except certain retailer exclusives). Not a single one released anywhere near "on time". Just the way it has always been :)  DLX Nemesis and SG Prime were only a month late. So... not bad for them. Premium TLK Megatron was over 3 years late :p

    I sure hope he ships by the end of the year, this is easily my most anticipated figure of everything I have on pre-order at the moment. The threezero shipping schedule hasn't listed anything for December, so maybe Bee will ship then.

    Seems like this guy is set to release late next month.

    Unless it gets pushed back. Again. :(

    has anybody asked why this keeps getting delayed? i didn't buy into it but between this and 3-years-late megatron, i'd never trust them to actually produce anything TLK based lmao. it's not like threezero hasn't shown off and released entirely new products of this size since this guy got announced, so it really just feels like they only work on actually releasing the stuff they feel like or something lol

    But to be fair, Transformers aren't the only figures they produce. So it makes sense not everything can be released on time.
    Sure the wait sucks but most retailers say they'll have him by March.

    As VVA has said, Threezero isn't a Transformer only producing company. They have a HUGE range of figures that they work on.

    They're no different from Sideshow and Hot Toys that also has constant delays over and over again with their figures. It's the nature of these high end collectable figures. Expect delays when you order.

    That's why I don't constantly check and wait on figures. They go up for preorder, you either PO or you don't and then just wait until release photos come out from HK. I never go by expected release dates.

    Damn why can't they put leds in the chest? It looks something so simple that would make a difference

    I guess it would raise the price further.
