    The picture quality is bad, so I can't make out anything. Still, Dropkick is one of the best molds in this line, so getting more repaints of his mold is nice.

    I might get it. The mold is badass, but I'm mainly after Decepticons in the movie line now. We'll see.

    After getting Dropkick this past Christmas, I gotta say it's one of the best deluxes of the line. A repaint in red is a must for me. :)

    Ok I'm so over these movie toys, they are trying to stretch the line way too far, molds are all great but they just don't give us enough paint apps to make the mold pop where I want to buy them, Hasbro no more movie toys I want Animated on shelves

    It might be the picture, but it almost looks like he's got orange rims, and flames on the doors. Movie Rodimus?

    08 BB may not have been technically shortpacked, but there's really no way to deny that there was a shortage of that figure for a while. The quantities were not meeting the demand. I'm not blaming Hasbro for that, and the scalping certainly didn't help... but I was hunting around a lot, and for example, I didn't see a BB on the rack until the Payload/Longarm Wave. To put that in context, in Canada, that was only a couple of months ago. There was a good long dry spell when it was next to impossible to find an '08 BB... which is kind of weird for the flagship character of the movie.

    That's almost certainly Salvage, given that he's in the same "outline box" as Stealth Battle Bumblebee, who is Salvage's wave-mate. Neat-- Dropkick is a cool mold, I hope the deco job on this guy looks cool.

    Cry me a river. The FIRST '08 Bumblebee I actually saw in person I found less than a MONTH ago. That's because NONE OF THE STORES HERE got him until then, because they were all drowning in a flood of nothing but Swindles and Bonecrushers for months.

    And I'm pretty sure you had to pay less than I did, too. And that was still close to MSRP here.

    Yikes, someone is bitter! I understand what SMOG was saying, just that it was hard to get a BB figure. It was a popular figure considering his prominance in the movie. No reason to bite his head off.

    I love the dropkick mold, I will probably get this one as well!

    It was the freakin scalpers. I was at zellers once and I saw this dude walk off with at least 4 08BBs. There was nothing left on the shelf. Totally blows thats for sure I personally only saw 08BBs twice which was the time i was able to buy any.
