The Bumblebee hype train is in full swing! To celebrate the movie hitting Blu-Ray today, Paramount has put out a trailer for it’s arrival on VHS! The trailer is pretty kick ass with retro effects to mimic old school VHS quality. At the end however, they do clarify that it’s a promotional copy only, not for sale. Well, don’t fret, TFW2005 actually received one of those real-world promotional copies and we’ve taken some pics to show it off! It looks legit, with a slip cover containing all the fine print you’d see on a VHS for sale, actual tape, a “Bee Kind, Rewind” sticker and all. I don’t however have a VHS player handy here anymore so I can’t tell what’s on the tape or it’s quality at the moment.
Don’t forget to enter to win a Bumblebee Prize Pack from TFW2005 and Paramount, we launched earlier today!
Read on to check out pics after the break!

This might have been a joke by Paramount, but watch Marvel and Disney release Captain Marvel on VHS as well as Blu-Ray and DVD.

That's super cool, glad someone still had a VCR floating around

That's a really good point—and actually, a factory one wouldn't even have ever had that tab in the first place—they weren't broken off, it was just a perfect smooth-edged gap where it would go. Only "blank" tapes came with a tab, to be broken off at home.

In case anyone is wondering if the VHS copies actually have the film in them.

got a feeling it's a blank. the record tab is still in. a factorytaped movie would be missing it to "prevent" erasure…(bit of tape would fix that anyway… )

Is it an April Fools joke saying that the movie is on Blu-ray today?
lordsmurf
I'm not entering, don't want any of that stuff. So maybe your odds will now be better?

Don't play games with me. I'd buy the ever loving hell out of a VHS copy.
