Hey all,

I just noticed this on Vancouver's Craigslist:

Obviously, there are a lot of "scalpers" or "flippers" out there.

If you guys have a hard time finding '08 BB, I could try to find you here locally for retail + taxes + shipping. Although shipping from Quebec to BC could well be in the $10-12 range, even for such a light item. I guess that would still be cheaper than $50. Not 100% sure I can though, I only saw 2, the one I got plus another one, and a few days later, they were out of stock for all that wave. I'll check again tomorrow.

I will probably wait a bit....should be able to get one...just a deluxe, can't believe it is so hard to get.

I picked up my second 08 bb today I'm not sure if I should trade it for a vintage version, open it or give it to my sister as a joke bday gift since we went to the tftm early showing in vancouver together

Looking at this though I wonder if this guy would buy mine for $30! He could make a $20 profit still ZOMG! :P

part of the reason is because TRU never released/hasn't yet release wave 3 of the deluxes at all. Also, keep in mind that we'll very likely be getting the voyager Prime/08BB 2 pack Walmart exclusive (we got the other walmart 2 pack and the tru 2 pack up here in canada for a change).

As I think I stated before in a previous post about this figure. Currently he is being shipped in a wave 2.5 assortment that makes him shortpacked to 2 08 Bumblebees per case of 12. When TRU, Zellers, Walmart, ect gets Deluxe Wave 2.5 case of 12, in it is 4 Arcee, 4 Dreadwing, 1 Swindle, 1 Bonecrusher and 2 '08 Concept Bumblebee. So normally due to his low #s and recent movie popularity, he gets snatched up quickly.
