With the new release of the Transformers movie there have been a plethora of new toy releases and the shelves are left empty every time they’re restocked.
A new Target opened on the 29th, today is the 30th. I took a short trip over there hoping to find the Deluxe Concept Camaro Bumblebee. In a way, I did, but it was Ultimate Bumblebee. A Transformer that is not scheduled to hit stores until September 15. A Transformer that is no longer available for pre-order on Walmart.com, and is not schedule to ship until October 2nd or 3rd from Target.com. I think my heart skipped a beat. $80 dollars. Will my wife kill me? Do we have the funds for this kind of purchase? Do any of these questions really matter, Ultimate Bumblebee is staring me in the face?!
So, I did what any rational adult male would do. I reached forward, held him to my bosom with a smile from ear to ear and walked to a register duh!
My next boggle is, do I resell him on ebay or open him?!
