My full thoughts on the reveals if anyone is interested. I think these two sets are cool but a tad boring if for no other reason than the constant "G1 but slightly different" design approach. The additional details on the last SS reveals were cool too, I'm especially glad to hear that Mohawk had decent demand behind him!

The topic that I'm speaking on was related to some of Evans specific words regarding Bee in the Stream in this thread. To go back and understand that is to understand there was no derailing on my part (just examples backing my point).
So "debate" no further and enjoy your weekend.

but is it so sick, I'm not sure this video answers that

HNNGH… He's awfully close to FOC Jazz-levels of shellage-turned-robot. *sigh* Granted, his vehicle parts *do* fill in the empty space so it's not exactly like FOC Jazz, but it at least feels on the same level.
With the waffles in his limbs, the emptiness of him (before the vehicle parts enter the picture), I can imagine he'll be quite light and feel it. I do think filler kits will go a long way to fixing a lot of my problems with him, however. Nothing can fix him being shorter, however.
I don't hate him, I'm just not as impressed as I had hoped. Prime sets the bar so high.

I'd happily buy that Soundwave from anyone in Europe who only wants to get Optimus, PM me.

Hope you find that wallet, they are very easy to lose and very important.
TFXProtector
My wallet. Violently and repeatedly. Doggone. Lil' man can wreck a dollar bill, y'all.

Tell me where Bumblebee touched you.
IMHO no not at all. It was far other things ( wait for streaming, big cgi battle fatigue, not a must see film, budget).
They definitely don’t and won’t be checking this site or of all things this page thread and yeah thing for another thread.

Evan's a good guy. I had a problem with a comment he made a while back, but aside from that, he's a good and decent dude who works very hard to do right by us along with Sam and Mark. (Even BMac (who doesn't design) helps to get these gems made for us.)
Bumblebee's popularity can be blamed on Michael Bay, the original 2007 movie writers, and the producers. They made him into more than he should've been and now we're stuck with him. I'd be fine with that if he was a more compelling character. Lately, they just make him OP and roll with it. Give him something to chew on, like in the actual Bumblebee movie. But don't be a non-fan of Evan because he's doing his job. That's not fair.
No, but the thinking behind those lines will hit a misstep somewhere and the sales numbers will look bad and could possibly drag down the entire franchise if it got bad enough. Let's face it, the live-action movies really did a number on things by the time TLK and ROTB were done screwing with everything. I could imagine a toyline being so bad it could do that. We're not quite to Action Master territory, but if we ever got there, might as well just call it quits.
Your opinion is just that, an opinion. They hear you, but that doesn't mean it's taken as advice. Certainly not when the spirit behind it is mean towards Evan. Bumblebee isn't the franchise/ip problem, the movies are. The shows come on cable (that most people aren't subscribed to anymore), or you have to pay for expensive streaming to see it (gee, more money…) don't help matters either. The problem is, the world has passed the 1980s by and left it in the dust. Sure, we wring it for every cent possible through nostalgia, but no one would go back to what the world was like then in the here and now.
I'd say Transformers has adapted as well as can be considering the world's changes since the brand's inception in 1984. Perfect? No. Do we complain a lot? Yes. But it keeps on keepin' on. Bumblebee isn't the problem, the powers that be are. (And no, that's not Evan, Mark, Sam, or BMac.)
Yup. This.
Well, kind of. Taking in other people's perspectives sometimes helps us see that ours isn't perfect and certainly not right all the time.
This.
Some people. Key word: Some. The majority of the people (non-fans included) don't mind him. Some even embrace him. He's basically suffering from a disability and people gravitate towards that. Plenty of people suffer from Mutism and he's proof that you can communicate and live a full life in many other ways. Not only that, he's endearing to the children (y'know, the main audience), and families generally find him pleasant. You want that out of a character/product, you certainly don't want to push people away. He helps them connect.
I'm not so sure it was that. I think the main thing was the movie just wasn't as strong or as good as it needed to be, but I do think "killing" him off again (much like Prime) has worn out its welcome and people are sick of *that*.
Yeah, Bumblebee's popularity (or lack thereof) isn't the box office problem. The lack of a good movie starring him (and the rest) is the problem. And this is far from the worst derailment these threads/forums have seen. Just saying.
PrimeBot
I don't think the studio is going to care if someone doesn't watch their new movies cause they don't like the fact that Bumblebee has got more popular.
Also this isn't related to the topic so why even debate this here ?
PrimeBot
It kinda does make me wonder if having Bee take a back seat in ROTB in favor of Mirage probably hurt its box office a little.

if they hadn't made movie "blitzwing" a starscream impersonator I'd say they could use this megs as a base for a new one. well, what's done is done.

I’d quite Reactivate to be repainted into Shattered Glass. I think those would look good.

No they are complaining because the red color injection did not give the same results for all the bricks making it look bad.
You can go to the 4 min mark for the review of that specific car:
And dark red has been an issue for a while with Lego but they never addressed it. Very poor quality control. So yeah, plenty of complaining going on with Lego fans too with cheaper looking products, poor QC and GWP "spend $250 or else you can't get this" shenanigans
ScorponokIsHere
Are people complaining based only on that photo?
Because, like, in any other photo of that LEGO set, it's clear that all the bricks are the same shade of red, and they only appear darker in the first image because, you know, those pieces are in shadow. They angle underneath the car. They're gonna appear darker in some lighting.

but anyway enough about lego

Can't wait to see megatron in hand next to rotb ss optimus prime

I forgot about that absurd Gift With Purchase scheme.
For those wondering what that means, Lego is very conscious of the demand for new sets in the style of classic themes, so they make these classic-style sets into spending incentives. Spend $250 and get this [insert classic theme] set.
It's really sad, honestly. Thankfully I'm satisfied with technic and creator.
