Courtesy of 2005 Boards member incapable hulk (AKA Toybox Soapbox) we have a very nice gallery of the highly anticipated Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origin Jazz for our viewing pleasure.
This mold is a complete new G1 cartoon Cybertronian vehicle mode for the coolest bot on the block. We are sure your optics will be pleased with the cartoon accurate robot and alt mode and a comparison shot next to the not less popular Studio Series 86 Jazz. A call to nostalgia from the time we used to watch the G1 cartoon on TV. He is a Target exclusive in the US under their Buzzworthy Bumblebee sub-line.
See the images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Yeah, Jazz has already been clearanced at my Target.

I still cannot get over that Target has not shipped their Jazzs yet. My area (not known to be early on the distribtution list) already had them come and go. I was able to buy one at Hasbro, then a second at a B&M a couple months a go. Now we have a ton of death scene Prowl/Ironhides and Towlines.

Yeah, I was gonna say the preorder fulfillment delay is probably kind of a blessing for some people! Most Target exclusives seem to be stocked like mad and lots of them end up on clearance.
T-Hybrid
Sorry you guys ended up having to wait so long for your figures. You're definitely more patient than I am. I eventually just bought one on Clearance in the store and cancelled my PO.

Just got an email from Target that the release date for my preorder will be 8/23. Here's hoping they finally get it out.

just an update, I complained to their customer service via chat. They apologized, said they were working on getting new stock, and they’d update my shipping date. A couple of days later and now I got a shipping update and I should have him by August 30.

Went to target today. They had 3 Optimus in the back but couldn’t sell me one because he comes out tomorrow and they also couldn’t find the box. They checked stock of the area… he is plentiful. No worries.
geekatron prime
That should be fine since there is a release date listed. There never was one for OG Jazz.
jamarmiller
yeah I never got my pre-orders either, luckily I was able to finanlly order some off of Hasbro Pulse. This makes me very worried about the troop builder pack
MehWave
I found mine on clearance in the wild. I didn't bother preordering, since I remember the ORIGIN bumblebee warming pegs on sale for a while
2fabdad
I canceled mine to spend money on something else(not waiting)…
It will be more fun to find in the wild.
MonsterMash
The release date is blank on the product listing. Unless they fix this, it will never ship.

No idea, but my attempt to preorder it via Target never came in either. After what seemed way too long (especially since other people had him in hand for some time by then), and dealing with the test-charges, I got annoyed and ordered it from Pulse. Eventually, after having the figure in hand myself for a while, I cancelled the Target preorder that still had not come in.
geekatron prime
Have no idea. I don't think anyone's has shipped from the target.com preorder. Better off finding it in store since some have been found on clearance. Like I said I got one from pulse then found an extra in store. I canceled my preorder since it wasn't going anywhere and has no release date on their site.
Autobot Spike
So mine still hasn’t shipped from Target… what’s up with that?

I canceled my preorder for this on target.com. Already got him from Hasbro Pulse a few weeks ago. Wanted a second one just to have. Found one at my local target, so I won't be needing that preorder anymore.

Clocked this on Cults3D –
You bet your collective ASS I'll be buying a second BumbleJazz and printing this off!! It'll have to wait til next payday, though, as I'll need to buy some white resin.

I don't think any designer in the history of this franchise has cared what the underside of a vehicle looked like.
MonsterMash
Not really. If you're going for the G1 look. The sides would have to be smooth and closed, concealing the legs, which are kinda low on the siege seeker in alt mode. The front is also too thick to match the animation.
The shell would have to fold up so the bot mode looks nicely. If the bottom of a siege seeker was covered up in a shell, it would either be a removable part or look very odd in bot mode as you'd have a big chunk of stuff to place and fold.
