Twincast podcaster ScottyP found a new Walmart exlcusive Mega 1-step Bumblebee with bonus Legends Class Stinger at a Walmart in Raleigh, NC for $24.97. According to ScottyP the stinger appears to be identical to the single carded Age of Extinction release but Bumblebee is visibly more yellow than his previous release. He also provided us with a nice image of his find which you can see below.

I should clarify on Stinger, didn't notice this until this morning. Identical robot to the single carded one, but no clear pink sword in this one. Oh, and different product code tampo on the bottom of the feet (meh).

The singles came weaponless, period. It's the 3-pack with Strafe and Bumblebee (which has a slightly different deco) that had weapons.

Don't know how I never saw pictures of this toy before, but I just stumbled upon it on Amazon, and let me say that THIS is an AoE Prime toy I can get behind.
Really compliments how much meaner Prime's new truck mode looks than his old one.

Disagree, Younger kids are buying the more simple, quick change, less articulated AOE TF 4 toys in decent enough number to make the line a success in most stores worldwide. These toys are perfect for 3 year olds as they couldn't Transform any of the 2007 Movie, ROTF or DOTM toys. In order for the TF brand to go another 30 years. It needs to have some toys the much younger kids can Transform and play with.
Don't see the problem with Hasbro making more simple toys for the younger kids. As HasTak is catering the entire MP TF toy line, Generations and CW toy lines towards older kids and adults fans.

Too many adult fans are egotistical hipsters who forget that a younger generation must take the torch to keep the brand going.

TakaraTomy announced a red Bumblebee redeco (no retooling done) as Stinger. General Japanese retail, so he'll be a bit easier to find than most. Best we'll get.
That's the Power Battler mold, you know that, right?

I'm ok with simpler toys for younger kids, but I think they went overboard with it. Between the 1 step changers, power battlers, and those dino sparker things, there's hardly any room for much else.
Plus they could put more effort into them. I'm sure more of us would buy them if they had decent articulation. They've been able to pull off 1 step transformations in the past without sacrificing articulation, why'd they half-ass it now?

My guess is they think that the more articulation a figure has, the more fragile it becomes. Think about it, tiny pieces that break off could end up in the mouths of your future presidents and possibly kill them.

Yes.Such a shame that Power Battler(or Power Attacker?Someone help me!) has no backpack kibble compared to the TF4 FE OP and the TF4 Leader OP.The Japanese Stinger is nice and almost show accurate but even it is not as show accurate as the One-Step Changer Stinger.And that is a pity.Thanks!!!

I get your point but the kids in my family want something cooler even if they are tougher to change.Dunno if this is happening all over.I asked my 4 year old cousin brother,Creston and my 10 year old sister which did they prefer,one step helicopter drift or Generations voyager drift.They responded unanimously,voyager drift.Sure,voyager drift is complicated and Creston keeps asking me to transform him but overall,he likes it very much.Still,it would be nice if the simplified figures were just as appealing as the generations figures.
Even with what I said,if Hasbro wants to simplify toys,THEN GO AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kids keep the TF lines going.Imagine a 3 year old walking into a store,seeing DOTM Jetwing Optimus and pestering his parents to buy it.His parents refuse,claiming that the transformation is a painful and excruciating stab in the back,then the kid screams and throws a tantrum.I have seen this before.Believe me,Hasbro is doing a good job although they went too far on Leader OP.For the comment about
Yeah,stupid joke.

Well, this could be a somewhat fine set to own. But 200$?! Ouch...
Also, 130$ for that OP and Grimlock set?! Urgh...
Honestly, those sets could be nice for someone who don't already have ANY of those molds. Still, prmium prices are premium. For the price of that Optimus set, why not going for a proper MP-10 for roughly the same price?

Toysrus.com has had the Grimlock and Optimus Prime set for weeks now. It's been going down in price the entire time and is currently at $98.99. The Optimus Prime and Sideswipe set is new though and is listed at $169.99 online. The trailer two pack is still way overpriced but at least the leader two pack is slowly dropping to a more normal price.
Platinum Starscream is steadily dropping in price as well. It's $79.99 at the moment. I bought my Cybertron Starscream for $25 on clearance shortly after it's original release. So the platinum version is severely overpriced to me, especially when it was marked as $130. They really are going crazy with the pricing for platinum releases lately. The first few seemed to be decently priced or at least you were getting retooled parts and many more paint apps than the original releases. Now the pricing for what little, if any, extra you're getting is sickening.

The thing is seemingly priced as if everything was purchased separately but bundled together, and omitting the actual MP Prime, lol.
I've recreated this set with toys I already own, Trans Scanning Silver Knight Prime:
If you wanted the entire look and bought everything separate it would cost about the same that they are selling it for.. only it's got an exclusive paint job, and you don't get MP Prime, just the trailer.
People are gonna want that trailer though.

That is HOT!
Well, not hot enough for me to buy a AoE 1st ed OP. Especially because I already own the Hasbro leader and AD-31 is comming.
I also already own a MP-10 (Hasbro) so I wont buy the YOTH version either.
Still, anyone who what these 3 components, a AoE 1st Ed OP, a YOTH OP trailer, and a "scanned" DOTM bot, they should do this display. That's just amazing looking!

Thanks man, it does look pretty good.
I almost get the idea it was a easter egg set because all the components have close to the same Allspark blue components. Silver Knight's sword and shield match up to the blue on Sideswipe and the trailer.
Also, aside from Sideswipe, Prime and the trailer are Platinum editions too. So, in a way, there are two Platinum editions of this set.

As for the lone Platinum MP-10, he can be a stand alone figure on the MP-shelf, without having a bizzare clear trailer looking out of place.

I've recreated this set with toys I already own, Trans Scanning Silver Knight Prime:
If you wanted the entire look and bought everything separate it would cost about the same that they are selling it for.. only it's got an exclusive paint job, and you don't get MP Prime, just the trailer.
People are gonna want that trailer though.
That is HOT!
Well, not hot enough for me to buy a AoE 1st ed OP. Especially because I already own the Hasbro leader and AD-31 is comming.
I also already own a MP-10 (Hasbro) so I wont buy the YOTH version either.
Still, anyone who what these 3 components, a AoE 1st Ed OP, a YOTH OP trailer, and a "scanned" DOTM bot, they should do this display. That's just amazing looking!
Thanks man, it does look pretty good.
I almost get the idea it was a easter egg set because all the components have close to the same Allspark blue components. Silver Knight's sword and shield match up to the blue on Sideswipe and the trailer.
Also, aside from Sideswipe, Prime and the trailer are Platinum editions too. So, in a way, there are two Platinum editions of this set.
Here is another shot:

I have a small appartment too and too many TFs to count. That's why, with my recent move, I had to make some sacrefices and put the less important ones in storage. I'll display only my favorites and newest ones. The rest I wont sell, but I pack tightly and neatly into some boxes.
A great display is so satisfying!

very interesting that it comes with an MP10 trailer, but in no way is this set worth 200 bucks.

I kno all about putting them in storage, and am currently in the process of bringing them home.. but I can't stand having them and looking at totes knowing what's inside
I'd rather be looking at this:

Much like the year, the Age Of Extinction toy line is coming to an end. We've seen the finals waves of the Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders, as well as exclusives and even the simplified line for children. Which beings us to the image mirrored below. (Image courtesy of Daim Choc)
The final wave of AoE figures consists of Decepticon Junkheap, a Waste Management garbage truck as well as Vehicon, a toy only transformation of Cemetery Winds sleek dune buggies featured during the farm chase sequence in the film. Last but not least, High Octane Bumblebee, sporring his early film a;t mode and appearance.
These should be hitting retail very soon, what with Combiner Wars due in the not too distant future.

I just found him too (in Montreal, Canada). I noticed you dont insert the extra back plates and neither do I. Not only does it look really wierd when I do but it doesnt peg well at all. Was wondering if your didnt fasten well either.
Also, I did not know about the fake dinosaur head in robot mode, it totally took me by surprise. This makes it probably the most interesting robot mode design from the movie dinobots to me (too bad about the robot arms though).
