Transformers Studio Series 77 Deluxe N.E.S.T. Bumblebee Revealed

As people on American sites had claimed that SS-77 grey Bumblebee was a "Fan Channel" exclusive, it wouldn't be released at retail in one of the regular waves... and I just saw it listed on Amazon Australia for au$43. It is saying that it is not currently in stock, but since they have just listed it, it usually that means it should be within a few days.
I ordered one, just to see if and when it gets shipped. (the product page says it was supposed to be released December 1st).

Apparently this grey redeco Bumblebee is supposed to be released next month (a toystore in HK has stock), so if it is being released by Amazon Australia we might see it released here soon.
Official toy images now out.

And a cancel email yesterday

I got the same notice too, so maybe it's not coming here anymore.

It's still being released, as it is now out in Asia, but has a release date of April in America.

And from someone who now has one, they have posted up a video, with some screencaps here.

The NEST Bumblebee was back up on Amazon Australia tonight, saying that it was "Currently out of stock" but allowed me to place an order... and straight after I completed the purchase, the product page is back to saying that it is "temporarily out of stock" and you can only add it to your wishlist (the purchase tabs are gone).

This is getting ridiculous...

Two weeks ago Amazon Australia cancelled that order, saying that they were unable to secure stock... and now tonight I found the listing with two units currently in stock - so I bought one, and will now see if it actually exists and arrives. (the third time I have ordered it on Amazon Australia)
It was $43, which is pretty steep for a redeco deluxe, but considering how difficult it is to secure this figure, and how unknown it's release is in just about any country, I figured I should jump on it in case it doesn't show up again.
