Help please, transformer bumblebee.

Hi everyone, i'm hoping someone can help.
My DS1 is mad about transformers and his favourite is bumblebee, i've search every toy store in northern ireland and can not find it (it's the one that changes into the car, think it's about 70 pounds).
Has anyone got one for christmas and if you have could you please tell me where from?? I would buy online but i'm unsure it would arrive by christmas.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
And things go wrong no matter what I do.
Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    i'm sorry i've been having a scout round for you but everywhere seems to be out of stock online too. i am popping into town over the weekend if i find one i will let you know. I could always buy one and post it over if you are really very desparate. I feel for you I have a transformers-mad son too.

    I was gutted actually as I posted here last week to say I'd blagged a cardboard cut out (about 4ft tall) Optimus Prime from Tescos...went to pick it up yesterday and found out they'd given it to someone else by mistake - AAARGH. Good job I hadn't told my ds.

    Of no help to the OP but I just had to say so sorry about the cutout. I'd told my husband about you getting it and he thought you were so clever (and a bit cheeky ;) ). How annoying!!

    I know it isn't the same but for OH stocking I got a keyring Bumblebee transformer from play.com (£3.99 so obviously not remotely in the same league!). They should be able to deliver in time. Not sure if they have the proper one though.
    Nobody I'd rather be ;)

    Amazon had one for £6.99, don't think it transforms but surely better than nothing!

    Is it the Ultimate Bumblebee? If so, there are a couple on ebay for about £80 odds. Hope you find one :)
