What sucks is none of the Costcos in eastern MA even carried it. I had to order mine online even though there are a couple stores near my work/home.

Am I the only one who feels this figure has destroyed the appeal of what the Masterpiece line was meant to display. Starscream was a masterpiece of toy engineering and was so worth 45 yet 100+ pounds or dollars.

This? Well.... what did everyone say when they first saw it? Let's wait for it to drop down in price? :oops:

I checked the Costco website and couldn't find it-where did you order yours from?

I hate to admit, but this is actually a pretty sweet figure. Looks as good as a movie Bumblebee can look, has a very pleasing transformation, and for once I actually think the electronics are a compliment to the figure rather than an annoyance.

Sorry, man. It was back around Thanksgiving. There were some forum/news posts that talked about it. It was $49.99 (shipping is included in their prices).

as I for one have to import both versions (living in europe that is :p) I would rather go with the mp...
it would cost me a tad more, but I like the paint on this one better. the costco one looks like some kind of metallic finish, which is in overall great, but as BB does not display an metallic lack finish like the costcos in the movies but more of a finish like the MP one, I'd hit that one.
