I dont if any of you have bought the new series from the movie. But the figures some of them are a little rough to transform. Not like I remeber when I was a kid. I dunno so far I bought : Jaz, Bumble Bee, and Brawl. SO far Brawl has been the worst because he keeps falling apart! Anyone else collecting the new figures? Or have this problem?

The Poster: Where did you get the 08 Camaro Bumblebee?
I haven't seen it or the classic bumblebee(old camaro) in stores anywhere.
And I just dropped some serious cash on the Ultimate Bumble bee that comes out in September and bought the 20th anniversary Optimus Prime and I am currently searching for a decent price on the 20th anniversary Optimus Trailer.
and you want to talk about bitch to transform? the 20th anniversary Prime is a PITA to do. No words on the directions just vague pictures AND its made of diecast so its heavy and a pain to move some of the parts.
but he looks badass in robot form.

Hey Return, I got EXTREMELY lucky last saturday. I called the target on the boulevard in philly at 8 am and they had one 08 camaro left. They held it for me all day thank god. My friend said last night fairless hills walmart had at least 6 of the 08s, as well as the 08 fast action battlers....i went today to pick up one to stay moc...and they were whiped out completely. I got FAB Frenzy yesterday though and he is the coolest in alt mode. Robot mode he looks clunky but he is super awesome. Where did you get 20th prime from? I bought MP Megatron off superbeeds and even though he gets alot of negative talk he was worth every penny, his transformation is easy too. I wanna get the US walmart release of starscream in september, and MP/20th prime sometime soon too.

I got the 20th Prime from Amazon.com but not from them, from one of their sub-dealers, i think his name was Wall of Fame, got it for 54.00 bucks, not bad for a $80+ toy. and just so you know the MP 20th Prime is the same as the animated move 20th aniversary Prime but the MP comes in the MP box, if you dont care about the box go the cheaper route and get the one I got.
and did I read right? Starscream? like 20th anniversary Starscream? if so post some pics...and I cannot WAIT for that Ultimate Bumblebee to come in

I did want the MP boxing because megatrons is so damn nice to look at that I even got it on display haha. tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&album=8090&dispsize=800&start=0Theres pics of the MP Starscream. The takara version was green and different colors, this US version is g1 color accurate which is awesome, plus its gunna retail at walmart for 60-70 bucks which isn't too shabby either.

haha no problem man, you work at fye in the nesh mall right?
I have a feeling they will be everywhere once they come out.
As far as Masterpiece transformers there was MP-01(Optimus Prime), MP-02(Lame Ultra Magnus, basically a white optimus prime), MP-03(Starscream but green and whatnot not g1 colors), MP-04 (Optimus Prime and his Trailer) and MP-05 (Megatron).....theres MP-06 coming out which is Skywarp, but its basically a repainted Masterpiece Starscream.
The MPs are totally awesome though and as soon as I get some cash flow, Im buying 20th prime from the store you mentioned in here, great price for the figure. If you wanna know more stuff dude, go to tformers.com or tfw2005.com....both really good sites and have a findings board and everything just like we do here.
As for Bumblebee, I don't know if he'll ever get the Masterpiece treatment because they aren't allowed to use the BMW Beetle design for his car mode...I hope we get some MPs from the live action movie, they would be sick!

I post on TFW2005 and Tformers(their forums are on tfans.com) as BumbleDupree on tfans and just Dupree on tfw2005.
The Ultimate Bumblebee is pretty much a masterpiece in my eyes, the only thing that sucks is his transformation....I saw a video a while back and it looked incredibly hard and detailed

I find them all quite easy. I got one of every character from the movie, Ironhide and Blackout are hard to transform. I can't understand Blackout's rotating head for the life of me. I just want the 2008 Camaro Bumblebee, that car is so sweet, on spam it says it's pre-order for August release with a bunch of other cool new transformers. There is a Final Battle Jazz, I think he can split at the waist just like in the movie where Megatron tore him in half. Pretty Cool, the arms on Brawl are a problem I have to admit it's pretty cheap. They are coming out with a Leader Class Brawl also, it's huge.

www.seibertron.comI own Barricade and I will buy another one, maybe Ironhide or Blackout. I found those Transformers really great except the cheap aspect of the plastic. But yes it's pretty rude and I think it can easily be weak after some tmorphs.

I have been starting up a G1 collection now because the movie toys are pretty much done for me unless they rescale bonecrusher and whatnot. I got Megatron, Soundwave who comes with Ravage and lazerbeak, Pointblank, Goldbug, Bumblebee and today I got G1 Grimlock...these toys are great. I can't wait for the animated series ones to come out
