Thanks to 2005 Boards member Rookbartley for giving us the heads up of his sighting of a new Transformers Authentics Bumblebee “Racer” pull-back toy at US retail.

This is a pretty curious pull-back toy which looks like a semi-transformed truck with the robot torso in the front raising his left arm. It was found at Five Below in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is the second figure on this line, following Authentics Optimus Prime Racer which we reported some weeks ago.

Additionally, this Bumblebee pull back toy is listed on Five Below website for $5.00 and we now have some official stock images. Optimus Prime Racer is not available yet.

See all the images after the break and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
