The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

He is perfect on paint job, if I had something to complain, the only thing is all the small parts are loose when I instal .

Quick thoughts:
1. Per usual Prime 1 standards, this one came out fantastic. Amazing paint app, amazing detail. IMO, every bit as magnificent as Optimus and great with him.
2. Did I mention detail? It's frankly ludicrous when you have the piece in person. I also opened up Sideshow's Power Girl and while she is a gem in her own right you can compare the two. She came in 3 pieces: base, body, and head. Then you add cape and you're done. It took 10 seconds to put her together.
Bumblebee? Umm try over an hour.
3. Packaging was meticulous and fantastic but BEWARE! Top layer styrofoam, right lower arm attachment has what is a wheel or something like that. For some odd reason the edge of the wheel is free and the way Prime 1 packaged it, it is basically digging into the styrofoam. Basically a set up for breakage and mine did come with two pieces cracked off that free edge. Be very careful taking it out and especially careful putting it back in. I have doubts whether this can be done without snapping that edge off. It is plastic, very thin, and very delicate, yet will be jammed against the foam when everything is sealed. It's a very dangerous setup for breakage.
Why would you package it again? Well, for starters it's the right lower arm attachment where you attach the different hands. For me, I would never display Bumblebee without his cannon and that is what this part replaces. So it'll basically never see the light of day.
However, due to the danger of breakage, my advice is once you check for damage and find none is NOT to put it back because you will l likely break it doing that. Leave it out on the base or put it somewhere else. Otherwise you're going to have to gently lay the piece down and then gouge out a chunk of the foam where the edge of that wheel thing is digging in so there is no pressure against it.
Overall, it's amazing and I'm really glad I didn't cancel it. Prime 1 just got lots of licenses but their work on the Bay Transformers remains their standard because nothing else really comes close to the incredible complexity, intricacy, and detail of these things. I thought I'd never see a piece to equal the original Optimus but Bumblebee comes pretty darn close.
Pictures will be coming in soon but for those of you who bought it, just be careful handling him. Take your time and hold only by what you are SURE are solid parts. He has lots of intricate little areas that can snap off easily from weight of the piece alone. And remember that lower right arm attachment. That is the one and only area that is likely to break during shipping because of the placement of it so be sure to check it first. That was the only issue where I had damage.

I'll need to look at mine.
This is as far as I got
If all Prime1 pieces have the same quality, holy crap.... I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY ARKHAM PIECES!!!!!!
