 Wow, a lot of stupid reviews here. April 12, 2008

Interesting. Most of the transformer reviews seem to be from a somewhat informed collector's perspective. Most of these seem to be from people who bought this model for their five year old kid and who thought they were going to get Ultimate Bumblebee (who retails for 80 bucks) because the price was marked up. Ten seconds of research would have given them the information to avoid such a mistake, but these people feel justified in railing against Amazon for charging extra for a product in high demand.
I'd agree with anybody that they shouldn't be buying these new transformers for young children. They are for kids who are at least 10, and for adult collectors. And from an adult collector perspective, it's a superb toy. It does have a complicated transformation, and what you get is a toy that looks stunning in both modes. And while many of the transformers have done a respectable job imitating the vastly more complex movie models, this one takes first prize, moreso than what I've seen of Ultimate Bumblebee.
So yes, the toy is in high demand, and you should either expect to spend a long time tracking one down, as I did, or fork over the cash for the quick fix. I was lucky enough to find a re-issue at Target yesterday, stocked by the cash registers instead of in the toy aisle. And I paid 9.99 for it.
So I recommend less cry-baby behavior from dimwit parents and some sense in realizing who these models are really designed for and why they're in high demand. Blame the manufacturers for claiming they're for younger kids, blame yourselves for buying without thinking, but don't blame Amazon, fer chrissakes.
 Bumble Bee is my favorite character from the movie April 5, 2008

Bumble Bee is my favorite movie character but it is not as good as my other transformer toys. It is hard to transform and some of the pieces always fall off. The one piece that falls off the most is his head. I like the toy but it is hard to transform.
Fun but not durable March 29, 2008

I purchased this toy as a Christmas present for my 8-year-old nephew. He was absolutely ecstatic to get it and began enjoying it immediately. It soon became apparent that the transformation is a bit complicated and the main ball-joint that keeps the two main body parts together gives way much too easily. While my nephew had a blast, we had to continually keep rejoining the two halves during each transformation. Although the constant coming apart and the complicated transformation draw away from its other qualities, it is nonetheless a fun toy for a boy who is crazed with cars and Transformers.
IT'S AWESOME. BUY IT! March 27, 2008

This toy is so cool.When I looked at the instructions I followed them carefully.I had no problems transforming him.And the sword canon is so cool.And the 2008 Bumblebee is better than the 1967 Bumblebee.So whenever you see a 2008 Bumblebee buy it.

It was brand new, and for my grandson. He loved it! We figured out right away how to make the camaro into the Bumble Bee Transformer. It was great! Thanks. I would give it a 5!
