Having searched high and low, I am convinced that '08 Deluxe Bumblebee is a myth...it does not exist. It is as real as the Easter Bunny, the Loch Ness Monster, and Britney Spears' pre-age-18 virginity. It is merely an elaborate hoax by the Illuminati, posing as members across all the Transformers message boards and widely distributing fake pictures to convince us all that this toy has been produced...which again, it has not.

 

Okay, I'm off to my meeting with the Flat Earth Society.

 

 

yea man, you got us...you're right! it's all a hoax, i didn't get a '08 bumblebee on tuesday and i'm just making up stories, same with everyone. and yea, we posted fake pictures as satisfying alternatives.

Got my Bumblebee in the mail today! :07dance My TF movie collection is complete (in movie characters, to be exact)

I've almost abandoned all hope. Its now been 15 days since the release of BB 09' and still no sign of him on the south east coast. TRU and Target keeps getting new characters here and there.. but no BB's I don't know if someone is hording them all or they just haven't made it this far. I did see a cool cyberton Jetfire at TRU I was thinking about getting! I have a TF fix I need to feed.. cause Im Jonezing for something!

the best thing i can tell you is don't give up hope, i went 10 days straight waking up 7-8am just to find a bumblebee with 9 days of no luck, if you give up now, all the energy you invested would be wasted, and you would be a loser in this deal. my best advice is to stick to your guns and don't give up. remember this, once you get one, you NEVER have to get another one again.

Well I can't make it out at 7am every day I can get to every store in my area though. I just wish I knew where they were going to be and that there weren't scalpers and horders there. I was checking the Toy Spotting topic on here and saw where Chattanooga had a lot of BB's But thats 5 hours and 7 days ago.

YES!! I finally found him. looks likes stores are putting out Wave 2 in higher quantities now. Keep an eye out guys, because I think he'll be all over the place within the week based on the past.

Well, I missed him again....but at least I have now established a pattern.

 

NOW THE REAL HUNT CAN BEGIN MWAHAHAHA :mwahaha

i've been going to all the TRU's, Targets, and Wal Marts in my area.. and nothing still.. aside from a lone Arcee at one of the targets i went to... theres no trace of concept BB

You guys should hold your breath on seeing Bumblebees more prevalent anytime soon; I was at Comic-Con this whole weekend, and even the Hasbro booth didn't have any of them available for sale. They had Voyager Prime and Megatron, and the 74 Camaro BB, but no 09. I asked them about it, while I was buying my Alternators Rodimus, and apparently they didn't even have enough to sell at Comic-Con.

 

Meanwhile, at the dealer booths, the 08 BB was available, but going for $45. :redface

sigh.. i guess i'll try to wait til august... im really hoping that they're gonna be readily available by august...
