Got one at Amazon .. .always my preferred method as I can buy gift cards and pay it off while I wait.

too old for this

Got 2 from Amazon. Both are for me. Swoop was my favorite as a kid, with Slag a close second. One to play with, one to keep in the box and display.

was tied up all day, so I missed Pulse which is my usual go-to. Luckily I was still able to get one ordered on BBTS

For the many of you that still need Snarl, keep your eye out. I've been seeing him a lot lately, particularly at Meijer. The one close to me has restocked his wave at least twice and I've seen him at other locations as well. In addition, I saw him at a Target just the other day.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

I got the pre-order update from BBTS 9 days ago. I'm waiting for the tape bots to finally hit before I ship.

There aren't any Meijers around here.

Eh... not sure I like the penny racer look... This combined with Steeljaw just feels like they aren't trying. And makes me feel 86 Optimus is gonna be similar half-assed.

Agreeing with what a friend said: it feels like they wanted to get both Cliff and Bee out of this mold with very little work. With how boxy he looks, I think that is the thought.

I'm definitely considering it. The first MP Bumblebee and Origins Bee cover a lot of my Bee needs, but the penny racer look is one I don't have, and this'll be much cheaper than the second MP bee. It does seem to lack a bit on the roundness though in car mode.

Springer looks better than the Siege toy, but that missile and his fun are so crazily oversized for no reason. Maybe that plastic could have been used to fix his helecopter mode a bit. Both of the swords are flat out bad sculpts too.

Bumblebee has a nice transformation and robot mode but that alt mode really doesn't work. And some painted windows and some clear ones seems like a scenario designed to please literally nobody. I wonder if a third party could replace the back of the alt model and give him clear windows and fix the curve.
