Movie Toys. What do you think so far?

Lots of people seem to be having problems with bumblebee...am I the only one who got a good one!??! Actually I'm disappointed that the mouth plate is black but the pick show it silver....time to crack out the paints.

My Bumblebee is fine. One thing I notice is you must put the front end up and then slide the sides back, and make sure that's the last piece of transformation when going to Alt mode.

It does more... I didnt notice it at first and its only a small detail, but the front of his chest the side parts of the car tuck in behind the grill part...

I got a few of these guys last night and I think these guys are great, very well done, so far I think jazz has to be my fav, but I do suffer form a BB problem as well. It isnt to bad I just put a little extra force on the front of mine and it stay well in place.

Got a whack of stuff today...

Deluxes:

Main comments about all 6 - the paint apps were really cut-back when comparing the toys to the enclosed bio sheet. The Automorph features were a complete waste IMHO and should've been redone/removed.

Jazz - 6/10 - Already talked about him earlier.
Brawl - 7/10 - Decent tank mode, bulky robot mode. Only major issue is the arms don't peg-in to the torso properly. Plastic feels really light and the turret flops around in tank mode.
Wreckage - 8.5/10 - Best robot mode, good APC mode. Good weapons too. Only issue I felt is a loose chest/arm combo due to Automorph.
Bumblebee - 6/10 - Great car mode. Good upper body, brutal legs/feet. Nice weapons. Automorph did not work at all for me, right out of the package. Mine might be broken as others have reported.
Scorponok - 2/10 - Nice scorpion, nice spinning action, but everything else is weak (size, transform, poseability) for this price point. Should've been a free pack-in with Blackout.
Barricade - 8/10 - Great car mode. Pretty good robot, although the legs could've been better. Punching action works Ok and does not interfere with robot mode. Frenzy is tiny and pointless, would've been better if he was a weapon.

Real Gear:

General comments: Grabbed 3/4 of the first wave today, and they're well-worth the $9.9x price. Pictures of Jetfire and Crumplezone on 2 of the stickers was odd.

Longview - 9.5/10 - Great in both modes. Great transformation.
Power Up VT6 - 8.5/10 - Good robot mode. A little too chunky though. Simple but realistic videogame unit.
Speed Dial 800 - 9/10 - Great transformation. Robot is also a little chunky. Phone looks great.

Cyber Slammers:

Essentially Ages 3+ Throttlebots Priced at $9.9x. Closest style comparision is the Gobots from a few years ago.

Barricade/Bumblebee: Non-transforming, rolling, pop-up robots. Heads/Arms move a little, but that's it. Nicely detailed, simple car modes. Features a switch on the bottom to lock them into vehicle mode.
Only recommended for younger kids or TF Completists.
