Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Bumblebee 2008 Camaro

This was a surprise gift for my 7 year old boy. It came a day later than his birthday but the wait was worth it. The toy is made with great details and looked amazing. My son loves it and says it’s the best birthday present ever. Although a few buyers had conplained about its size, I actually thought the size is just right for his age and he can take it anywhere he wants. Which is great! Ok, not all the colour tones are the same which means some parts has lighter or a darker shade of yellow. But overall it was ok, pretty acceptable for a kid’s toy. The parts do come off easily when you transform it but it was easy to put them back together again. No big deal. I rather them being a bit loose than if they are too tight because we had transformers that are too rigid and broke off when we tried to transform them. So keep this in mind. It was easy to transform the car into a robot but was quite hard to do it back. Now my boy can’t do it himself at the moment but I’m sure he will be able to do it in a few days. Just takes a bit of getting use to. The learning curve should be plain. The overall product is brilliant. It’s cool, and looks the part. I’ve looked a while for a product like this. Others either looks too easy or they are too big to take around to play. And the main thing is, there aren’t many Camaro Bumblebee around. This only grudge I have is the shipping time. For standard shipping it said it will take around 15-20 working days and for expedited shipping it said 5-10 working days. So I chose the expedited shipping since it’s for a birthday. The thing was the expected arrival date was exactly the same for both options but one just costs more. I thought there was an error and chose the expedited shipping anyway but the arrival date remained the same. I was very upset about this and asked Amazon about this. They said the arrival date was clearly displayed before I agreed to pay for the expedited shipping fee. There is nothing they can do about it. So I just had to accept it and felt miserable. Luckily it came within 10 working days but still a day later than when I wanted it. This and the overall quality of the product made everything better and I’m willing to give it a whopping 5 stars. A great product. The price could be cheaper though... 😉 but the again, it’s pretty scarce.

Great figure

Not mad at all it’s awesome too have a toy I had 15 years ago. But for the amount I payed I wish I got the right item. Item is in amazing condition and the box looks pretty good too

If you are reading my review, thanks. If you notice, my ratings are a little muttled. The reason for that being, is that I am a collector of sorts. I have seen the movie, and yes ficticious characters based on comics, cartoons, and tv shows I find intriuging. Thus, I don't believe in playing with or opening anything I collect. It's a little obessive compulsive but I feel as though it's a stepping stone to something else. Why do we collect such things? Are they worth anything? Maybe there's something missing in our lives. What makes us indulge in these seemingly meaningless pleasures? I had an entire collection of action figures that were unopened and in mint condition. All it does is just create a burdon. The true test, however, is just letting go of such desires. So one day, my wife and I gathered up all of my toys, went to my neighbor's house, and gave his children my entire collection. Your prohably thinking, "WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY!!!"...prohably. Though they may have been in value to someone on ebay, you can't put a price on the look on those kids faces when they looked in the boxes. I felt a slight sting. But it quickly dissapeared when my burdon melted away. We stayed over to help them with dinner and watched his kids play with their first toys in prohably 5 years. It was quite a sight. I never knew that my toys did any of the things they did. I watched them play with everything from my spider-man and x-men to transformer figures. His oldest daughter loved my bumblebee transformer most of all. I noticed in other reviews that he falls apart to easily or it has poor construction. Not True. However, if you give it to someone who does not have the patience or cool to handle such a toy, i recommend the lower skill level counter-part. All in all, it was well worth seeing them have so much fun with accumulative joys. What's it worth to you? <12:36 am> - - -
