man, i would be kinda pumped if they did like a 3 pack head set for class/gen bumblebee. So you could have a goldbug/newer bumble/hubcap head.

If you are stuck with it, at least the robot mode works enough for you to use that Goldbug head, if you're still going to get the upgrade kit.

I never wanted the goldbug head. He's G2.
Having him in hand, he'd make a terrible Goldbug anyway. Sure, he's gold, but his robot parts are black and grey. Gold and dark blue are Goldbug's signature colors.
But as I thought when I first heard he was gonna have the shiney animated gold paint is that he'd be a perfect (Or as perfect as we'll ever get) G2 Bumblebee.

But no, I'm not gonna bother returning him to BBTS. He works well enough to sit on a shelf, and Joel is such an uber nice guy, I don't want to make waves until there's something really worth making waves about. People take advantage of his kindness and generocity, too much.

Thanks!

Hell no, back in March I went to a toy/hobby shop and got him for $12. Not bad considering I thought I would never find him at retail (and haven't). I wouldn't mind finding another at ROSS for $5 though lol

bmorr · 09-10-2011, 07:52 PM

ive seen one. my local toy collector shop had it. too bad it was marked at 4 times what you paid lol.

Holy shit, eff that noise. I would start checking (stalking) your local ROSS if you have one in a reasonable distance, he really is awesome. Not $50 awesome though lol.

Crazy Jetty · 09-10-2011, 08:02 PM

I got two. Friend of mine in england picked one up for me for $13, and I found another one at Ross for $5.
Snagged that one for a friend who's backed out.

bmorr · 09-10-2011, 08:11 PM

Ross doesnt exist in my neck of the woods. What kind of store is it? Like a Marshalls or TJ Maxx?

Crazy Jetty · 09-10-2011, 09:10 PM

I think Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx are all owned by the same place. I know he's been found at all three.

BlackMagnus · 09-11-2011, 03:35 PM

P.O.K.E!!!

Me too homie, I love that Classic seeker mold. The TC deco is probably the nicest out of the six though, that blue is gorgeous and the silver just pops! That reminds me, I need to snap a few pics of him...

Uhm... I never said Goldbug was G2, because he's not. Unsure what you're getting from what I said that I was, but it's obvious you weren't following the actual conversation.
Someone suggested that I got the United Bumblebee for the Goldbug "upgrade" head. I said I didn't want the Goldbug head, because my United Bumblebee is a stand in for G2 Bumblebee.

You said "I never wanted the goldbug head. He's G2".

That sounded like to me you said Goldbug was G2....does it not?
I read the whole thread and sorry I misunderstood you, but honestly look at what you wrote....does it not look like what I thought....again sorry for the misunderstanding....

No biggy, and nothing to appologize for.

Though it reads to me exactly as I intended it.

BlackMagnus · 09-12-2011, 08:39 PM

These guys just look so good together IMO

trebleshot · 09-13-2011, 09:04 AM

Now you need to take HA Leadfoot and these two and take a pic of all three at a dog park with their pets.
