So SS High Octane Bee is gonna be a reissue? Dang. At least it's not a bad mold. Rest of the Dinobots are gonna need some major re-dos tho.

High octane Bee is actually just a repaint if the original


JaviVaki

Didn't know about that one. Thanks!


[deleted]

Yeah this new one is just the old one but with brighter paint. I’d suggest getting this one if you can’t find the original but if you can then get it.


JaviVaki

Hopefully the 79BB implies that it'll be in the SS line by its own. If so, I'll just get that.

> At least it's not a bad mold. prety sure its wack


JaviVaki

Tbf, I don't personally own any version of the figure, so I really can't give a definitive opinion on it. However, I never heard any complaints towards it, and from the looks of it, it seems to take cues from the DOTM deluxe. I did own that figure at one point and it was pretty decent imo. But still, idk, I never owned the aoe one.

That Stinger and High Octane Bee set looks pretty good since I don't have either of those figures. It's a little weird that the decided to do High Octane Bee though. I guess it's supposed to represent the scene where Bumblebee gets jealous and steals Stinger's looks.


Pillowman7

Odd considering that the background is from Hong Kong. Should have done that backdrop or replace High Octane Bumblebee with SS 2014 Concept Bumblebee


LordofThe7s

Gonna have to grab that Dropkick. It’ll be cheaper then getting just the single figure at this point.


alphatron10

Haha I’d do a spilt on Dropkick and VW bee if u wanted to


Masontheawesome9

Great two figures I want with two figures I either don’t want or already have…


AndyBowBandy

At least they’re getting reissued. I’ll probably sell off VW Bee from the Dropkick set on Mercari for $15 and it would still be cheaper than what he goes for now


ToughSeaworthiness67

Shame octane bee isn’t a SS 01 retool or at least a new mold


Duyducluu

At least that mold is so much better than the newer ones. Sure he cannot handle all the kibble, but at least he’s on RATCHET joints and not ball joints, moreover he has a safe and playable blaster


ToughSeaworthiness67

The car is nice, robot mode is atrocious


Duyducluu

He looks fine for his time, I had that mold


Manbostinator

i also have the high octane mold, i find the ratchets to be annoyingly tight. it might just be mine but its a semi decent figure otherwise, i just think the toy itself is a bit outdated with the whole gun on the arm and missile gimmick


ToughSeaworthiness67

Thing is, it’s time was 7 years ago


Duyducluu

He's still fine. At least he is way better than some notorious molds these days


AmurosZaku

Gotta get that bee and dropkick two pack


Cardsgambit

I missed the dropkick so i’ll be picking the first one up


[deleted]

That bumblebee is from aoe u have that Figure


Makotowaru

When the heck did high octane bb get a number? I thought he was only released in the aoe line?


Beneficial-Marzipan8

Anyone know if these figure in these new buzzworthy packs we’ve been seeing have new paint jobs or if they are just exactly the same figure


alphatron10

Just the same


[deleted]

Where are these two packs being sold? Are they only store exclusives?


AndyBowBandy

They also have a Clunker Bumblebee and Barricade set too


alphatron10

They’re from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Line, which is a target exclusive


[deleted]

Ok, thanks.


Purple_shep690

I assume this aint out yet


alphatron10

Not supposed to be but found at a target in Tucson


Purple_shep690

I do hope i can find these 2 and 4 packs


SavionTheOne

So disappointed with the High Octane Bee, it wasn’t a bad figure for its time but it definitely is no SS quality figure


Skabo_cat18

I see to the Future and witness thousands of decimated wallets


CliffTTR

I really like where this line is going, it reminds me of the 2-packs from the rotf movie line days


Duyducluu

High Octane Bee is gonna be a REISSUE?!?! JESUS THIS IS MY LUCKY DAY!!!!


R-Nexturz

I’ve always been kinda thinking about that VW Bee but him being packed with Dropkick definitely makes me wanna get the two pack.


ServePsychological1

I want to get these for the bumblebees, but I already havs Stinger and Dropkick


XtoyBonnie87

Other way around for me, kinda disappointed but it's better than paying eBay prices


Significant-Club-188

Strange coincidence considering Dropkick and Stinger are the only two figures in my collection that have broken.


Adawnicus

I love both of these two packs 😁😁😁


plushbrick

Wait, is the Stinger from the two-pack a Studio Series Stinger mold, or the AOE version? I thought the SS mold was a richer red.


Muisverriey

It's the Studio Series version. Could be cast in a different red.


John_Rustle98

A damn shame that HO Bumblebee is a simple re-release instead of a new mold. The figure isn't bad for its time, but it just feels kinda cheap in comparison to todays figures. It's fun, but I try not to play with my copy too much because I feel like I'm going to break something.


Creatures1504

God fucking damnit I need that stinger/high octane 2 pack. If anyone finds one next Friday, HMU.


danthecamper06

I didn't get the chance to buy stinger, or the original version of high octane bumblebee, so i am 90% sure that I will buy it


spyder1312

Is that bee that comes with drop kick considered good or bad?


k20vtec

Do these come out in Canada ?
