CHUG Cybertronian Jazz

[GoktimusPrime]

...or Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origin Autobot Jazz, as the toy is officially known as. <huff huff huff> :p

https://bwtf.com/news/buzzworthy-origin-jazz-reveal

I'm also hoping that Hasbro will retool/repaint this toy as Cybertronian mode Bluestreak (https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/4/4f/Bluestreakandthereshallcome.jpg) ;)

[JJJ]

It's beautiful. I wonder if they'll do Wheeljack.

[reillyd]

This is really left field. I did not see that one coming. I just hope we get it here in Australia.

It's beautiful. I wonder if they'll do Wheeljack.

I'd say it's almost guaranteed at this point. We may have to wait a while though.
Otherwise we have all the Cybertronian modes from that first G1 episode. What a time to be alive! :p

- Bumblebee
- Jazz
- Soundwave
- Laserbeak
- Tetrajets

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

It looks pretty good. I'd love to see how they could do Wheeljack too.

[Thurmus]

He will look great next to Bumblebee. I hope they do a WheelJack. You would think they would.

Not going to wait or hope. Will be buying it from Singapore as soon as it appears.

According to TCCA, we should be getting him here.

Target's Buzzworthy Bumblebee line, Amazon or specialist retailer?

According to the post, fan channel stores (EB/Zing, JB Hi-fi, etc.)

[Thurmus]

I got the Buzzworthy Cybertron Bumblebee from Pop Cultcha.

In terms of Cybertronian mode wish lists, I'd also really like HasTak to do a proper Cybertronian mode Optimus Prime. Because Siege Optimus Prime's Cybertronian mode looked nothing like either of his G1 Cybertronian modes.

^Optimus Prime's two Cybertronian modes from G1. The first was from his youth as an inexperienced junior officer. The second is his more iconic Cybertronian mode, as seen in #1 shortly before Optimus Prime would lead the Ark's fateful voyage. This second Cybertronian Optimus Prime could also just be repainted as Fusion (https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fusion).

[DELTAprime]

I've been thinking about this reveal, I think I'll buy it, but I actually have never liked most of the classic Cybertronian modes. Bumblebee UFO is cool, Tetra Jets are cool, Laserbeak with a visor is also cool. But the rest of them, I'm really not big on.

First Australian retail announcement at EB Games and Zing it would seem:


Buzzworthy Bumblebee Legacy Evolution Origin Autobot Jazz available for preorder at Zing (https://www.zingpopculture.com.au/product/toys-gadgets/293777-transformers-buzzworthy-bumblebee-legacy-evolution-origin-autobot-jazz) and EB Games (https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/toys-and-collectibles/293777-transformers-buzzworthy-bumblebee-legacy-evolution-origin-autobot-jazz) for $50, releasing 10/4/23.

Looks like Asia is getting theirs too. Robotkingdom (https://www.robotkingdom.com/f70185l00.html) sold out their preorder recently (USD $25.90).

Thank you, sir. Preorder placed. Not missing out on him like I missed out on Bumblebee.

No worries Cat. I got my Bee from Amazon AU via US (https://www.amazon.com.au/Transformers-Buzzworthy-Bumblebee-Cybertron-Deluxe/dp/B09C44SCVD/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=transformers+origins+bumblebee&qid=1677732131&sprefix=transformers+origin%2Caps%2C596&sr=8-5) last year when it went on sale for AUD $48. A few months ago, it went even cheaper to high 30s. From what I read online, it shelf warmed in the US. Perhaps keep an eye on Amazon for a price dip. It comes in and out of Amazon US stock.

Robotkingdom (https://www.robotkingdom.com/f16235l00.html) has it now at USD $34.90 + $22.43 shipping, which is expensive.

It was sold at Popcultcha too a few months ago but that came and went fairly quickly.

Oh been waiting for this! Thanks Skyfire! I only ordered two… for now :)

I was just completely oblivious to the fact we were getting it at all. I I somehow didn't even think to check Aussie online sites for it until it was too late. I've got no excuse for missing him.

[Cat]

I just got an email from EB informing me that they'll be taking the rest of the funds out within the next few days. So keep an eye out folks, he's almost here!

Yeah same. Super keen!

[DELTAprime]

I just spoke with my local EB Games about Origins Jazz since he's meant to come out on a public holiday. The manager said to contact the EB customer service line because he had received all his orders for the week and Jazz wasn't there.

The lady at EB support said she would email the logistics team and get them to update the release date because they have not come into the EB Games warehouse yet. So we are not getting him on Monday. :(

[JJJ]

Never expected to (public holiday and all) :)

However, my order now says Friday the 14th. Sound good - what's a few days? Incidentally my order for Deathsaurus has also been updated; instead of August it now says 1st of December.

My order for Deathsaurus has disappeared from my open orders actually so I can't see a date on it. Thank's for the update.
I have checked with EB, it is still in the system on their end and as long as I pay it off before he comes out he'll be sent to the store as normal.

[Thurmus]

My order with Popcultcha shipped today.

See, that's the kind of thing that makes me nervous. Could they explain why your order was suddenly not visible? Just seems like trouble coming...

[Cat]

Just got a shipping notice from EB for Jazz.

[Cat]

My Jazz is getting delivered today. Keep an eye out, folks.

[Deano85]

Went to my local EB on Saturday to see if they had got my Jazz order in. Hadn't received them yet.

[Cat]

Mine has arrived!

[griffin]

Mine arrived today... finally.

[Firestorm]

I've yet to hear from Zing about mine being ready for pickup. Which is giving me Victory Saber flashbacks....
Hopefully it won't turn out as bad as that did.

[Deano85]

Picked up my Jazz order yesterday from my local EB. They said mine was the only one they got in.

[Skyfire]

Still waiting for my EB store to notify me.

[JJJ]

Ring them. I collected mine today, and they were magically just about to call me when I called them at around 4.30. This has been a pattern with my most recent orders with EB.

[DELTAprime]

I picked up mine today. When I got there the assistant manager said it had been there since Monday. The thing is I only got my text message to he was in late yesterday afternoon. If they have another Haslab exclusive at the end of this year I might just get it delivered. In-store pickup seems hit and miss at best.

[Skyfire]

I called my EB store and they said it might come this afternoon. Their computer says it's being transported. Perhaps WA orders are a bit slower.

[DELTAprime]

I would expect a delay to get to Perth. EB Games is based in Brisbane and ships everything from their Eagle Farm warehouse.

[JJJ]

Good to know.

[Handsprime]

Jazz arrived at my local EB games today.

[MayzaPrime]

Jazz arrived at my local EB games today.

Same... I am picking it up on the way home from work

[Firestorm]

Got a call today saying it's arrived and I can come pick it up.

[Skyfire]

I got an SMS this morning saying mine is ready for collection. Since they get their deliveries in the afternoon, it means it came on the truck either yesterday or the day before.

[Skyfire]

I like Origin Jazz but he's another tightly packed, clear plastic (tabs) bundle in vehicle mode.

Going back to robot mode by reversing the steps is impossible. The last step (#19) locks the doors in place. So my method, which also puts less stress on the roof clear tabs, is to angle the arms down, then gentlly wriggle and split the legs horizontally at the spoiler, then the legs can be pulled out a bit and the doors unlatched.
