Ultimate Bumblebee @ TARGET

[Moose]

I stopped by TARGET tonight, and guess what I went home with?!


I originally ordered it through amazon.com for $79.00, but I cancelled it. I wasn't due to be delivered until late September.

It now lists on amazon.com for $120.00!

Look for them at TARGET.

I'm stopping by tomorrow to pick one up. Thanks for the heads up.

If you have trouble transforming it, and I think a lot must be, go check out www.transformers.com . It's Hasbro's site and they have video instructions to assist in all areas of transformation and function.

I did the same thing you did by ordering early on Amazon for $79. Didn't even think about cancelling it and getting it locally since they have them for the same price......well, less tax.

Well, it does take a little time to transform. :o The directions aren't the greatest. Thanks for that info.!

It works surprisingly well. The sound effects, how it responds to motion, etc., and when it's in the vehicle mode, when you move it forward, there's a decent engine sound, followed by red brake lights when you stop. (How old am I??!! :o )

UBB is 74 and change before tax at my local walmart. they also have the rerelease of the 20th anniversary Optimus Prime. I have the original release from 2004 tho .

[Mindz]

Geez that's awesome. I'll be over in a few hours to steal it from ya. Thanks!

If you need help transforming them just ask my seven year olds. When they were four I bought them a red viper (can't remember the name of the figure). It was literally an accidental purchase because on the box it had a big 4 and on the other side it said like 7 and up.. The 4 was the level of difficulty out of 5. Go figure. So, they sat there and couldn't figure them out to transform. My older son helped them one time. Now they're experts.

i seen one at walmart but i just cant pay that much for one.

[Dave McFly]

yeah, it is pricey for a toy, but after watching the video of it transforming and the fact that it is a large scale replica of the coolest car ever to have the 'CAMARO' name on it I want it badly. i went to my local wally mart and of course it was sold out along with the smaller 'revised' bumblebee figure. and i checked on ebay and yup, the damn scalpers are selling him for OVER a hundred BEFORE shipping . make no mistake, I WILL get this guy, i am sure wally mart will get more in stock .

Thank you, thank you, thank you Moose.

I ran by Target yesterday morning and guess what I found....two Ultimate Bumblebees!! I should have purchased the other one so I could have sold it for $40 more on ebay....but I'm not like that. But very cool Transformer!

Ok...and while I was there...they had a HUGE selection of 5th Gen stuff! There was the silver and red diecast, a red 1/32 (twice as large as a Hot Wheels car), red and silver radio controlled 1/16th, a yellow w/ black stripes Jada Big Time Muscle die cast 1/24th scale and another that was silver w/ red stripes same size. I was going to buy them, but I was already at $100...so I had to hold off. They had a few HW's too, but I have enough of those. I love this new Target. They are brand new...not many people shop there yet or even know it's open (it's kinda off the main hwy off to the side).

And my boy can't get enough of playing w/ this BB!!

[Dave McFly]

God I hate you TAG, for finding 2 UBB figures*. I am glad you decided not buy both and sell one for 40 bucks more . I cannot STAND jerks who sell a hot toy for almost double what it sells for in stores. i was looking on ebay for a xbox 360 and one guy was selling the CORE version (no harddrive, wired controller etc) used for 500 buy it now, this sells for 279.99 NEW! why would any moron pay 221 more for a used one ?

My brother got one also. I let him open his...mine is still in the box.

I'm now trying to practice a little restraint and NOT buy the 1/6 scale RC car at WalMart. :o

[TAG UR IT]

THE RC IS AVAILABLE?!?!?! :eek: You know what that means!!! I sure hope it doesn't cost all that much. I really can't spend any more cash on "toys." I've got all these hosp bills from baby and that credit card is getting racked up. :( Seriously, I need to knock it off!!

RC RC RC RC RC RC....
