Alongside Bee Japan will also be getting the well documented Studio Series repaint of The Last Knight Drift with baby Dinobots as an SS-EX release. He, too, will be a Toys 'R Us Japan exclusive priced at 4,318 JPY and also coming out in late March.
What do you think, is SS-EX Bumblebee worth tracking down or is the new part not worth buying the figure again? Sound off in the Energon Pub forums below!

BTW, found this on Robotkindom:

New pictures including in package are there. The 60$ cost isn't bad at all either.

That drift, however, rock this deco and the baby dinos are adorable.

Bee's got a few more paint apps than the standard AOE Deluxe, but honestly not that many. It even looks like the stripe in vehicle mode doesn't continue on the back of the car - much like the AOE deluxe, which is still one of the most baffling paint omissions I've seen on a figure.
The right arm might actually be remolded from what I can tell, I don't see the mold's original plasma cannon in the arm. The new gun does look super cool, though.
The AOE Bee mold is pretty good, but I feel like this design will get a better studio series figure some time in the future.

No it's not. I really like it. Has some really nice details and shapes to the design and I have it both as the original AoE figure which I painted and as a voyager sized KO (with some metal parts). I still far prefer it to the VW bug.

I second the Carn.
this is a great mold, one of my top 5 favorite movie Bees. That new weapon looks cool too, but I am satisfied with my AOE one. It's great

Tastes, as always. But it's simply that there was far superior Bee deluxes that came before who were far superior. Meaning the DOTM deluxe and the good old BBBB. I find that one lacking compared to the previous two. I still don't own the TLK Bee nor both SS yet. And My AoE deluxe that I hate, I won't sell it for some reason.

For sure, we have yet to get a good deluxe movie VW BB.

I have yet to handle one, but I think SS VW Bee is good. Hopefully, though, HasTak will retool/redo him to be better, like they did with SS Prime

Have the small differences in this release got you to bite yet; is it simply not enough of a change or did you miss the figure last time around? Let us know here on the Energon Pub at Seibertron.com!

I like the adjusted colors and new weapon though, looks neat!

I think it's more "this mold again?!". It overstayed its welcome with TLK Wave 1.
Not to sure what to think about it personally as I don't have it, and don't know which version to optionally go for.

Ah, I had forgot it's reuse in Wave 1 of TLK. I can understand now.
I still enjoy the mold though. I think the OG one was the best version of this mold
