SDCC exclusive Bumblebee with Dino-cassettes

[Krayt]

Vol 2was shown at SDCC.... movie VW BB, with the same cassettes, but original/clear swapped to the opposing figure...

Why no love for Bumblebee

Actually, I kind of like the look of the 'Bee mold. If we ever get a mainstream release with an alternate head - Bumper or Hubcap or something, Bug Bite could be cool - then I'll probably grab it.

It's $130 now. I'm not familiar with their price (surge) strategy. Is it for 'patience tax'?

The Little Toy Company has listed it for $120 + shipping.

A nice gallery of the Bumblebee & Dino Cassettes set.


Hopefully mine are on their way, as I really can't wait for those Dino cassettes.

Are the solid colored ones the same colors as the original Headmaster cassettes?

Looking at the TFW galleries from SDCC, the two solid coloured ones are very similar to the JP originals (in the Generations book). They have the same plastic colour, and the "cassette" details are similar (but different enough to easily see that they aren't originals).

Cool, thanks! That's sorta what I was hoping for.

Were they sitting on these Dino cassette molds all these years? Or warehouse found? Or manufactured again? Or made officially using KO mold ()?

Okay, just ordered both sets. I tried to order Vol 1 from RK but I forgot my password and the link that they supplied me to reset the password didn't work. I managed to order it off Amazon USA although more expensive. Gah.

Yea it is an interesting one, surely if they had them Takara would have made another Encore set to go with the others ages ago... maybe they will now?

Would be funny if they had just got their hands on the KO mold though and went 'now its our turn!' heh.
