1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!   December 12, 2009
Kathryn G. Goodfellow (Marlette, MI United States)
The way this toy is presented is very misleading. For $47.99, I expected a much larger toy. I thought the car looked at least 10 to 12" long. What I got was a 3 1/2 to 4" long toy. Not much for almost $50.00! I will not buy these Hasbro toys again. They are way overpriced for what you get. Please understand, I will continue to do business with Amazon. Just won't order Hasbro toys.


1 out of 5 stars Very disapointed in size   January 19, 2009
Transformers Deluxe Classic Bumblebee Figure, I brought this for my 10 year old grandson for Chkristmas. It seems to be very well made but I did pay $54.99 for it & was very disapointed in the size of it. Feel the size of it was not plain enough to see. We were all surprised how small it was when he opened it, as he enjoys building & playing with them. Have gotten him other transformers for around the same price & they were all a larger size, so now I will be rethinging about ordering from you again.
Thank you, Sharon from Sacramento





1 out of 5 stars Size not as it appears - no description   April 11, 2008

There was no description of the dimensions of this item. We thought it was about twice the size. Transformers for this price usually are. This was misleading not to make the size available. Most online stores provide descriptions that include dimensions. Why not Game City? We will not repeat business with Game City again. Amazon needs to address this issue with its 3rd party vendors. Amazon is ultimately responsible.

1 out of 5 stars I paid how much for this thing??   September 14, 2007

Out of all fairness on my ratings, I don't know how durable it is and how much fun it is, but worth fifty bucks it is not. I expected it to be at least twice as big as it is. It is very small for the price. Not a happy parent.


4 out of 5 stars Not more, nor less accurate than his original cartoon appearance.   January 12, 2007

A lot of people are complaining that Bumblebee is no longer a VW Bug. Hasbro has liscencing reasons why they chose not to use that car, but at the same time they could have chosen not to re-release this character as a new, highly poseable toy too, so don't complain too loudly...

Anyway, yes this car no longer looks like a Bug, but having said that, the original toy was a lot smaller and didn't actually look like the cartoon character either. This version of the toy is very well made and the headsculpt is nearly a perfect match for what we all saw in the original cartoons. He has door shields, just like the new Optimus, but in Bumblebees case I feel that they were better done, since Optimus's kind of flop around when you move his arms. Bumblebees do not. They lock into place and are very solidly stuck to his arms in robot mode.

My few complaints, and the reasons I didn't give this toy 5 stars is that instead of a fun, he comes with a silly "waverunner on a trailer." I don't know whose idea this was, but the trailer/waverunner really feel like an afterthought for the toy. More like a "gee this toy needs an accessory" type of addition than something really thought through. The quality of the plastic and paint in the wave runner is not in the same class as the quality of the Bumblebee figure and the area where it hooks onto the car just look awkward overall. Like someone else mentioned he really should have just come with a gun.

My second complaint is his "knees" which are formed by the two front seats inside the car. It is really great that the car has front seats as that adds an additional detail which makes the vehicle mode look great. However the flaps above the feet on my toy tend to get caught under the seats when posing, making it occasionally irratating to move the legs and making me worry I might chip the paint of the leg or the seat. Its a minor thing but it coulda been fixed by just making the seat slightly shorter.

All in all I am very happy with this toy, its a great addition and puts the original Bumblebee to shame.
