    At least this time they are fleshing out the line with remolds rather than non-movie appearing, wonky-looking video game drones. If rifling through movie line pegs for the last 18 months has proven anything to me, it's that Movie Bumblebee doesn't warm pegs.

    I'm impressed. I even like the Z28 Camaro front bumper/grille. If I have the $$$ when this comes out, I might have to go against my "No ROTF figures rule." and pick this one up.

    That... makes two of us. Mine is by choice. :lol 

    I'm loving the new head on this little guy. I just have to have him. I can't wait until he pops up at my local Wal-Mart.

    Meh, I'd rather Hasbro put improvements on existing molds than put extra resources into reinventing the wheel where they don't necessarily need to.

    I am definitely getting this. I got a feeling that the new Prime will be remolded almost the same way with more pegs and holes for his 'Magic Mushroom' moment.

    L.A.M.E.

    Although I can see the reasoning behind Bumblebee being a simple remold.

    looks too much like the old one, and since the old one sucked more than armada blurr, i'm gonna pass and spend my money on something that actually functions properly.

    Wha-? The Camaro Concept Bumblebee was one of the best toys of the line, and one of the best Deluxe class Transformers toys in the past decade.

    I never picked the original figure up, and I may do so now when this comes out.

    I really like the re-molded parts; New more movie accurate Head, Z-28 Deco, and new weapon.

    Blurry photos, but that head does look more design-accurate, so that's a step in the right direction. Would have expected the car mode to be remoulded to match the updated Camaro in the new film, no shockers there

    Remold or not, I already have four versions of the mold from the first movie line. If this is how they're going to do most of the returning characters, that's great news for my wallet! :lol

    Nice, but I have enough of this mold already, awesome as it is, and a slight remold to make him the most up-to-date car model isn't worth another purchase for me.

    I liked the old weapon better, i thought the little knife-thing was pretty cool, so this is a pass for me.

    Might buy it so I can have a Bumblebee from the movie but I am most likely
    going to pass and not buy alot like i did on the first movie toys. I only have
    four toys from the first movie any way.

    I'm with the front page majority. Looks nice. Very nice. Think I'm happy with what I have, though. Hope this movie continues to save me money.

    I DO like the new headsculpt, and anyone who hasn't picked this guy up, he's a GREAT toy... as long as you're into the movie toys. If you're not into the toys, well, you've already passed on the first round, you're probably passing on the second... :lol
