    Depends what would make it “worth it” to you. It’s mostly a “classic” line (in the sense of the early 90s one!) So a second chance to get some BB figures. Collectors will more likely want the originals not the reissue so from a long time value POV not really worth it. From a marketing POV and keeping Bumblebee and the well received movie in the minds of casual buyers and younger fans in the lead up to a second movie (likely now much later than originally intended), it may be worth it

    Mate you actually changed my mind on getting BB because I want to get the 1st movie and end of bumblebee movie version because I want to replace all the trash bumblebees i have such as OG 2007, That weird vehicle from TF4 and the Trashpiece TLK bumblebee

    The SS-15 Bumblebee comes from the SS-01 Bumblebee which is a really well done mould.

    It's definitely worthwhile as a figure - whether you go for the original version, or this version which includes a Charlie standee.

    Just a caution though - it has the same transformation skeleton as the TLK version. The engineering design and transformation scheme is very similar, however it is a completely new mould and works a lot better than the original TLK version, but it may colour your experience.

    There are review threads for the two previous issues of this mould at the following links to help you in your choice.
