CostCo gold Battle Ops Bumblebee?

As mentioned in this earlier news post (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8936), the US Costco chain are expecting a Battle Ops Bumblebee 3-pack (with 2 Legends toys - Bumblebee & Mudflap).

Looks like this isn't the usual 'unchanged re-release' of figures that Costco usually do with their multi-packs, as pics have surfaced of a (http://www.hk-tf.com/discuz/upload/viewthread.php?tid=18888) Battle Ops Bumblebee in shiny deco, packaged with those two Legends toys. And the Legends Bumblebee is also in a shiny deco, called 'Premium Bumblebee'.

Until this actually appears in a Costco store, this could just be an Asian release, and the Costco version could still just be standard colour re-releases. And even if this is the Costco version, chances are slim that we will see this here (especially with all the big Bumblebee toys Hasbro has been flooding the stores with lately).

And it's unlikely we would get it at the bargain price Big W is selling the regular Battle Ops Bumblebee for.

Is this a figure actually worth getting? (Especially at the prices Big W have, albeit for the normal paint version)

I'll stick with the deluxe from the first film.....still a great piece and also fits in well scale wise

I think so. It's certainly better than Utimate Bumblebee. The gimmick arm is a little annoying to me, but it's otherwise a fun toy. Check out the review thread (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8607) but it's a bit light on comments so far.
