Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Hi, just noticed this variation on the Pretender Bumblebee shell.

One guy has light hair and the other guys is a fair bit darker. There don't seen to be any fading on either shell.




My question is what is the 'more common' hair colour?

Why did they make Bumblebee look like a 55 year old US Congress man?

Does anyone know what color launchers the Diaclone Blue Bluestreak came with?
In the G1 Bluestreak instructions and catalogs show him with Grey / Silver
But the Diaclone box shows him with white, and the pic I have found on the internet from people who own one also show white.
So did he come with white or silver launchers? Need to know for my custom

Diaclone.net has him with white launchers and silver missiles.

Hi guys, first post I'm looking at collecting the movie transformers and giving them a custom paint over so there more movie accurate. Does anyone have a preferred online site for purchasing or are most happy to buy at local toy stores?

Has any one purchased stuff from Germany? Any idea of how long it takes for something to arrive from there?

I had a package take about 6 weeks to arrive here
The postmark stamp at the German postoffice proved it as well

Yeah, a few times. Most packages arrive within a few weeks. One package took 12 weeks to show up (at my doorstep) - it was unregistered so I had already received a refund, eBay then refunded the seller. All international postage from Germany goes through a division of DHL, so it's a good idea to request registration.
