Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Before he came to Earth, BUMBLEBEE could have cared less about his appearance. As long as his alternate mode kept him hidden, and protected his plasma cannon from the weather, he was content. But now, on Earth, he has found friendship for the first time in as long as he can remember, in the person of Sam Witwicky. At Sam’s urging, he scans a sweet new vehicle form. Now, he’s still ready to fight to the end against the DECEPTICONS, but he sure hopes nothing too bad happens to his paint job. Convert this AUTOBOT figure from menacing robot mode to Camaro concept vehicle mode and back again! It features a cannon that converts to a blade in robot mode! This is one awesome figure for your collection!

This is a great product and in high demand. BEWARE OF PEOPLE EXPLOITING THE HIGH DEMAND FOR THIS TOY. IT SELLS AT RETAIL FOR $10. People should be ashamed of themselves asking $100 for a $10 dollar item. Hasbro will catch up with demand in the following months and this item will be easily available at Target, TRU and Walmart. The only reason it is so hard to find now is scalpers selling this toy online for ridiculous prices. Do not pay more that $15 for this toy.

This toy is 5″ long, bumper to bumper. This is a “stocking stuffer”, not a gift. It’s educational value lies in the “Buyer Beware!” lesson you learn upon getting burned by this purchase. After years of successful Amazon purchases, this is my first experience with the “scalping” approach on this site. As pointed out by other reviewers, the retail value, as assessed by Hasbro, is $9.99 and while it may be out of stock from traditional stores, literally hundreds are available at auction, at or close to that value. My trust in Amazon is permanently tarnished!

I am a big Transformers fan, posessing about every incarnation of Optimus Prime I can get my hands on. I was very excited by the movie because I knew it would bring a new breed of Transformers toys. They all look cool, and that alone has me excited.
However, coolness comes at a price, and that’s in the durability of the newer toys. For quite a few years now, Hasbro has been making strides in the Transformer lines looking more like their supposed to in robot mode - that is matching the supported media, be it the cartoon or the movie. For this reason, the transformations have become more difficult.
Bumblebee is a good case in point. He has these little plastic pieces that come off of his arms very easily while transforming him. To Hasbro’s credit, this feature makes it so if one is doing the transformation incorrectly, a break isn’t permanent. It’s intentional that pieces are made like this.
The other thing that bothers me though is how easily paint scratches off. This has to do with constant rubbing together of pieces during transformation. Maybe I’m not the best at Transformers, but I remember my old metal ones lasting for years.
Gripes aside, nothing bad can be said about the look of this. It’s pretty close to the look of the film and both the car mode and robot mode look fantastic. I just see it as a little frustrating for the kids.
As for the prices on this site - well its economics. I’ve been to the stores when they open cases and you’ll find one Bumblebee - two if you’re lucky - on the shelf. But they actually stay there for awhile, provided its not a peak shopping time. Because of the quality of the toy, I would recommend shoppers wait it out to find it at an appropriate retail price, especially if they’re planning on buying it for a child. It’s a cool toy, but its durability leaves a bit to be desired.
