3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM Bumblebee Premium Scale Figure - Announcement

[diegohdm]

I'm worried about Bumblebee joints too..

 

[Royce12]

I'm confident that they will get it right. Transformers is a huge license compared to Halo. And they made good Halo figures before Master Chief. Somehow they messed it up after a pretty good history from what I understand.

they did real steel, abc robots, and heaps of wwr stuff....i'm hoping they will pull through with this line.
besides, this figure isnt rubber based body. MC is unfortunate, like ED209's dome. :[

They have no issues with mech figures. It's the 12" figures that seem to have the problems due to the rubber suits. Transformers figure are just the characters model with joints in the elbow, knee, etc

Early July huh? If I get a tracking number before the end of August I'll be surprised.

That's what I'm a bit confused on; Will be pretty annoyed if they ship out retailers before their own store. Not sure if retail edition just means the final production version or what.

They confirmed on the fb page they're shipping to retails first. What ********.

 

[Royce12]

Retailers are probably putting pressure on them to deliver since they have accepted pre-orders. Slap in the face to the bamba orders but at least they will get the exclusive item for their wait.

I got clarification from gregory on it. It's not as bad as their fb made it seem.

Similar shipping process as the WBR bots took. Retail gets sent out, usually by boat or air. Then Bamba orders go out. Everything ends up arriving around the same time depending on location since retailers still have to sort and ship their figures, plus whatever shipping time frame they use.

Asia and Japan will receive theirs first, then spreads around, etc

There was nothing that implied Bambaland would ship first. Just that you would get the exclusive item along with it. In fact, the exclusive item may be the reason retailers are shipping first. Also, the distributors are the bread and butter of any company. You never want to piss them off. ThreeA is smart to fill distributor orders first rather than from their own website. Just my humble opinion from a business/supplier relationship perspective.

Makes sense, but I'm used to getting the Bambaland exclusives way earlier. Similar to the MC figure that just came out.

As for the details on how they're being shipped by air and sea, I'm just hoping it's faster than 3Z took to ship out Atlas. That took over a month to get to me.

Bob 121, I saw some where I wish I could remember on these forums someone talking about how they got whatever it was they ordered from 3A really fast. I want to say something like 3-5 days. Basically they said it arrived at their door before they even had a shipping notification. Sorry I know that is vague as hell and I wish I could remember what it was. All I know is that it was a 3A product and something recent that release.. maybe the Halo Master Chief but don't quote me on that.

Yeah, that's how my 3A Chief just showed up last week. I got the tracking number the night before it showed up. Thanks for the input, fingers crossed that's how this will turn out!

 

[Bob 121]

I wonder if anyone asked the people at their SDCC booth about when Bumblebee is being shipped out. Funny how it keeps getting delayed but they're confident enough to put it on display.

 

[SurlyJ]

This thing looks SO GOOD in person. I venture to say better than Prime 1.

 

[FACEBOX]

I'd LOVE to see a side by side.
Not only in order to compare the details, but also the size.

I can probably make a similar base for it and freak ppl out at first glance it the sizes are similar.
