- Buyer Beware!
This toy is 5" long, bumper to bumper. This is a "stocking stuffer", not a gift. It's educational value lies in the "Buyer Beware!" lesson you learn upon getting burned by this purchase. After years of successful Amazon purchases, this is my first experience with the "scalping" approach on this site. As pointed out by other reviewers, the retail value, as assessed by Hasbro, is $9.99 and while it may be out of stock from traditional stores, literally hundreds are available at auction, at or close to that value. My trust in Amazon is permanently tarnished!

- Over priced Transformer
I have shopped Amazon.com in the past, and have been very happy. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times. I spent hours searching for the Transformer Bumblebee, just to find there are hundreds of versions. I ordered the Movie Deluxe Class 2008 Camaro. The seller was ToyWiz.com, and the price was $49.99. Under product description, it gave no dimensions, and very little helpful information. Buyers' reviews were good though. With tax and shipping it came to $61.85. I was floored when I received it. I went back on-line and searched for the same item, and found it can be purchased for $9.99. And Amazon.com offered it through another buyer at $39.99. Ignorance on my part cost me big time. It doesn't pay to return it either, because ToyWiz doesn't refund the shipping, and there is a 10% restocking fee. If you don't know the exact item you are shopping for, you can really pay big time. And you really have to be careful buying from other vendors through Amazon.com. It was difficult to give the product an honest rating, since it is a gift and has not been opened or played with yet. But I can honestly state: Would I recommend this toy to a friend? - Not at this price!

- Must Have Toy For Christmas
This is the hardest transformer to find for the Holidays. It is a must have on every young boys Chrsitmas list. I was lucky enough to call around and find a TRU with one in stock on the day they received a shipment. Don't pay more than retail. Call around or buy a different transformer and then wait until this one comes back in stock after the holidays.

- Very disappointing
We bought this for my son that just turned 5 because he is crazy about Transformers. Just as my husband was taking it out of the package and getting it ready it practically fell apart. This toy is not sturdy at all. Adding insult to injury was the fact that we found this sames toy in stores $15 less in stores. We felt ripped off and now my son does not have his beloved Bumblebee.

- Price is way too high for way too little
My 6 yr old son loves Bumblebee (of course). He has been begging for a Bumblebee transformer and the stores and online stores have been sold out. I saw this for $24.99 and read the reviews and thought it would be a great buy. Wish I would have paid more attention to the reviews. This toy is about $6. at Walmart. I thought it was a bigger version since it cost so much. I am so disappointed. Definitely will not let anybody know how much I was taken for on this Santa item.
