Transformers Dark of the Moon Premium Scale

yeah, I thought mouthplate can be removed, but still I'm going to add prime to my collection

Wonderful action figure. I'm not even a fan of Transformers but this is a wonderful toy. Best robot of the year

Wish we'd get his axe too. Gun shoulda been standard, but additional axe woulda been a great Bamba excl. version. Still preordered mine.

Any updates?

Recent shipping update says that shipping in Early July is: Transformers | Bumblebee Retail Edition

What does "Retail Edition" mean? That's for those that ordered on
Bambaland for the Exclusive version correct? Bit confused since I'm
hoping that doesn't mean those who ordered from other retailers will
be getting it first compared to those who ordered from your Bambaland store.

Precisely the opposite, those who ordered from online stores. I wonder if they've already shipped Bumblebee EX, they said they would to last month but I haven't received any updates on it.

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.

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

That makes sense. Do you happen to have a more specific time frame for when Bee will be shipping? I imagine Early July means the 1st-2nd week of July? Since there's a separate section in the shipping update for Mid July.

Is the Bumblebee figure at SDCC the production version?

wow is that a new pic? It looks even better.

Seconded. Any updates on the shipping? It's already the middle of July.

Any updates on Bee?

Update:

It hasn't shipped yet.

Bumblebee has begun shipping in Japan. Any idea what Bambaland exclusives will ship?

I could be wrong but isn't that the bamba exclusive? it has instructions for the control pillar accessory.

Nice catch. I was looking at the diagram and was wondering what the hell that was in the picture but now I see that it's the light up function for the pillar.

Not sure how that works though. Do they ship it the Bambaland Exclusives out in Asia and then ship to the US or are they shipped at the same time?

Hopefully we'll see pics by next year

I think Bamba exclusives are usually shipped worldwide more less at the same time but this particular occasion has been a bit weird with the "Japanese get them first" policy. A Chinese collector uploaded some photos of the Bamba edition to OSR today, maybe they are shipping them right now?

A 3A update regarding Bumblebee would sure brighten up my day!

Hoping we see Starscream earlier than that.

We didn't really see Optimus until a few days before the preorder. We got teasers, and need a Starscream teaser. I need Starscream for my Starscream shelf. Starscream Starscream we all scream for Starscream.

Anyone outside of Asia received their Bumblebee yet?

*Doh... just saw the shipping notice, rest of the world won't get shipped until end Aug

Nudge nudge about the Axe idea, ThreeA. Just sayin'

Bumblebee is taking a long time so we should see Megatron and Prime next year (even though Megatron says December, not counting on that happening)

Megatron can't come soon enough. Been wanting a proper DOTM Megatron since we got the tiny Voyager one. This certainly won't be in scale with my DOTM figs, but I can't wait to have him tower on my Megatrons shelf
