    If this were about half the price I'd buy it because of Barricade's awesomeness.

    If you find it at Kmart this week its on sale for $20. I found the new version of Bumblebee the other day at Kmart. Actually both the old and new versions of RPM's are on sale. I don't like the new keypad controller. I'm old school and prefer the joysticks.

    Just so you guys know, this year's new Radio Control RPM's (Barricade and Nest Bumblebee) are significantly larger than last year's initial radio control releases (Optimus Prime and Bumblebee).

    (Well, I haven't seen Barricade yet, but just from looking at the pic in the first post, it looks like the same packaging set-up as the new Bumblebee. And the new Bumblebee is definitely larger than last year's Bumblebee.)

    Bigger R/C cars not worth buying, unless it's just for show.

    I have the two smaller ones only now, as I returned the larger R/C's, they were pure garbage. Comparing the smaller to the larger I realized just how much better the smaller ones are; having lights on the vehicles, decent sound effects from the controllers, joysticks instead of buttons, original sculpting & paint instead of an interchangable sticker, oh... and STEERING!!! The big ones simply won't turn corners, just long gradual arches. Pathetic. I was so disappointed.
