What Bumblebee Version???

[adon30]

Right, my little boys suddenly into transformers. He's 4!!!

He saw me listing a load of old G1 stuff that I was putting on ebay and since then it's been transformers mad. He's now got a Skywarp, Optimus Prime, Quickmix and a Jetfire with no head and now also missing arms!!
They are all G1 and the problem is they are old and not that robust, hence why Jetfire keeps falling apart. Now to keep him from touching any of my G1 collection I've told him Santa may bring him a Bumblebee if he's good.
Now here is the problem. I've never owned any of the newer stuff so which version of Bumblebee is going to be best for a 4 year old??
Keeping an eye on ebay for something at a resonable price and don't even mind a chinese copy. Just need to get one sorted now in time for Christmas.

I assume you want unopened,

I have a few things new I can do you a good discount but 4 may be a little young

I think it's going to be one of the newer movie type versions. But there are a lot of variations so it's difficult.
He can transform the original optimus prime no problem and I was tempted by some minibots recently!

Go for deluxe bublebee, better still the legacy pack item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=330650377339&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=68023101824

He's simple to transform
Small enough to carry around
Cheap enough to let him break it
If it breaks most bits POP back on
Lots of nice detail too, its my fav so far

I've only just seen the Legacy ones. Wish I'd bought them now.

Anyway my two boys are now the proud owners of Bumblebee, Shockwave, Starscream and Mudflap. They also got the multiset of the grandparents which is bumblebee, shockwave and Optimus.

However they are a real pain to transform and to converting them back to vehicles can take me ages!! Never mind the kids. Bring back the G1's, I could do those with my eyes closed!!
