Transformers G1 (Reissue) Wal Mart Exclusive Bumblebee

If you've been around my site long enough ,you've most likely read about the time my G1 Bumblebee got stolen.If not ,then let me reiterate.I was around 8 or 9 years old in the third grade and pretty popular with the girls I might add.I was a good looking kid ,what can I say ;) Here was the problem,in a nutshell.Most popular girl in class liked me.Strongest kid in class liked most popular girl. Strongest kid in class punches me in the nose on school bus ride home,tells me to stay away from popular girl and then proceeds to steal my G1 Bumblebee. In one fell swoop I lose the girl and my Bumblebee figure!Yeah,The Karate Kid was a great film ,but total bullshit!Had I lifted my arms and leg to attempt a crane kick he would have probably punched me in the stomach ,too.The slight humming sound and watery eyes after getting punched in the nose was tolerable but I wasn't about to risk further injury trying to pull a Ralph Machio. Fast forward from 1986 to 2019 .I've got the girl ,well not the same girl, but an even better one! ,Oh and I have my Bumblebee figure ,too!Not the same Bumblebee but arguably ,an even  better one!Victory!I think :/

    so a strange question ,does it look like the face/head is a separate part from the silver square it sits on? I need to repair vintage figure and this would be the cheapest way to do it if that face part comes off.

    In certain spots,like the horns ,it looks like it might be able to be pried off.But then from another angle it looks like one solid piece with the chrome square.Kind of a toss up.

      I think Ill pick one up and take a chance ,I can use the tires also. I Bought a Bumblejumper from goodwill for twenty five cents the other day and I promptly broke the pegs off of the silver part. It was also missing its tires but those are easy to replace..

    I've gotten hit in the nose by a basketball... but never a fist. Ouch. Sorry to hear about that. Glad you were able to upgrade in both areas. Wonder what happened to the bully and your original Bumblebee.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
