tfc ares sword

mmc feral rex sword... that's what im talking about! 

grown up too

would like opinions here, which is the best movie bumblebee to date?

Complexity has it's pros and cons. Since Hasbro (unlike TakaraTomy) is aiming the Transformers franchise towards kids they have find ways to simplify the transformation process as to make them kid friendly. For example they made a lot of the movie toys transformation so complex that even parents are having a hard time transforming it. Another reason for them to try and simplify the transformation process may also be due to cost cutting measures as complexity in production come at a cost. They will save cost by combining the more simplify kids line of toys with the regular release of TFs. Hasbro may have made the decision based the poor sales of the recent TF toy line.

On the other hand this may result in the dwindling interest in the number of veteran collectors who appreciate more intricate designs and complex transformation as most of them will probably be turning towards 3rd party company since their products are catering more towards adult collectors.

To simply put it it's a double edge sword situation... make them too complex the parents will turn away... make it too simple the collectors turn away.

At the moment I have to say the CHUG series is currently one of best line of TF they have given us with not-so-overly-complex but still intuitive transformation design at very affordable price (Not to mention a lot of G1 character reference which I really appreciate ). Why can't Habro make the other line ups with the same caliber as is beyond me . Just my 2 cents...

I would recommend this one :

HFTD Deluxe Battle Blade Bumblebee



Alternately if you prefer a sportier car mode you can consider DOTM Deluxe Bumblebee .

you bought the taktom version? just saw hasbro sandstorm at 90 retail. 150 for taktom blitzwing. so if i managed to average out at about 90 each, that wouldn't be too much of a hit. 

that 79.9 was just a guess. haven't been scouting in a while. 
the thing with G1 is, as cool as it were/are, it's just bricks. i sold off my headmaster highbrow, powermaster OP & darkwing and sixshot to make room for their newer G1 oriented reiterations.

the RM90 u saw is already discount la. retail is 109.90 for sure.
