I feel the same way about the new Bumblebee that I feel about the new Optimus: don't hate it, but I'm happy with my current one.

MP-10 is a fun toy, but I was never really sold on it as an end-all for Prime. The new one looks like anything but a fun toy, and it improves some things about the look while introducing its own issues. Magic Square's offering spanks them both in the looks department IMO.

I'll have to check into Magic Square's Optimus. I wonder if MP-10's trailer will work with it... |

I'm on the fence about the new Prime. I'm happy with MP 10. The new one does look great but I'm not sure that it's $400+ great compared to the MP-10.

Pics of the new bee for Cross Country: Sent to me my a friend who still braves the toxic dump that is TFW. Edit: first listing(?) is up. https://tfsource.com/masterpiece/mp-45-bumblebee/ I'll be over here in 3P land hoping to top off my collection with the characters that are missing. I'll let someone else bend over for TT's new premium-in-price-only MP offerings. Last edited by Hellion42; 02-11-2019 at 02:44 PM.. |

Well, I pulled the trigger on MAGIC SQUARE - MS-01 - LIGHT OF FREEDOM! Thanks for the tip. I figure I'll use LIGHT O' FREEDOM as my default bot-mode Prime, while MP-10 will be displayed in truck mode with trailer. I can justify any stupid expenditure!
This actually takes me back to a plan I once had of buying a bunch of duplicate KO bots so I could display each character in bot and vehicle mode simultaneously...problem is, most of the KOs look like shit in vehicle mode. |

You enabled me to pretty much be done with TF purchasing now that I have (will have) an Optimus that fits in better with my badass Dynastron. I hadn't fully appreciated (or was willing to admit) how much MP-10s skinny thighs and long ape arms bugged me in comparison. So, um, you enabled for the good!

The hitch area is too tall by a little bit unfortunately. You can rest the trailer on top for display, but it'll be on an angle.

I'll let someone else bend over for TT's new premium-in-price-only MP offerings. I've been keeping an eye on TFW but haven't seen anything. And you're right. ! The reason I post here about MPs and Star Wars so much is I won't post anythin on their fan sites anymore. I think I posted like 4 or 5 times on TFW and I was as diplomatic about it as if I was writing to the North Korean Embassy. Some love back ground pics of the upcoming Hound to remind us incase we forgot. Ok looks like TFW has the pics up since last night. Nice looking Sunbow Bee.

Not worth the 100% price increase from the last Bee (which was only a few years ago) for me. Enjoy!
