Am I right in thinking that Arcee is not yet openly available to US collectors, or am I misreading things? I've had Arcee since October and I live in the UK, where we usually get figures pretty late.

Yeah no, still nothing. It probably has something to do with the American Retailers not wanting to pick the wave for whatever reason, it's a wave of girls, they want movie toys whatever, or they are waiting for the holiday rush to stock it.
No Arcee, No Chromia, nor a Brainstorm.

Strange that here in the UK the two main online retailers have been stocking them for months, hell even the Takara version's are up for preorder!

They were both cited in California almost a month ago but that was the only time.

BBTS's listing have arcee, Chromia, and Brainstorm at "early December", TFsource has theirs as "Delayed until November". I have no idea.

It's a conspiracy I tell you, a C-O-N-spiracy

Heh, yeah. The Decepticons are to blame for these three missing Autobots.

I thought this was going to ship in December... hmmm...

Just checked my order on Amazon, and they don't have a delivery date yet. Curious.

Amazon also said they were out of stock with no knowledge of when they're getting more when I checked.

They finally sold out of those?

Last time I checked a couple weeks back they still had him.

Was Chromia in stock and sold by Amazon? I only see it and Arcee listed by 3rd party sellers

Great news for all you transfans!

Fellow seibertronian Cobotron has spotted Generations Voyager Brainstorm at retail.

Here is what he sent us.

While out Christmas shopping for my kids, daddy found a little something for himself. Generations Voyager Brainstorm at a Walmart Super Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on sale for $19.97.

Congratulations Cobotron on your first news credit. To many more!

[shockblast2]

Cool! I will check my local WM tomorrow. I was worried we would not see this one because of combiner wars.

Now, we just need Arcee and Chromia!

Arcee and Chromia have been out in Honk Kong for a month now, they should be coming real soon.

[Cobotron]

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!
I made the news.

I'll give a full QC report once I've had time to play.

Sorry, I cannot believe that. I have been looking at amazon daily looking for it for the last two weeks. The cheapest I have seen it for on there is $21. Same with Brainstorm. There is no way you picked it up on amazon at retail price.

Thanks for the info drop and the proof to back it up. I will check tomorrow at my local and report back.

Thanks brother!

I don't buy it. If they are telling the truth, then there should be no problem snipping the invoice and posting it here. The cheapest Chromia I have seen in the last three weeks was for $21 shipped.

Not that I think he is lying for sure as he could be telling the truth and they just went real quickly.

Whats up with the head Will?

[Cobotron]

It's pron to break off when you detach it from the big torso.
I'll be careful and let y'all know tonight.

[Mindmaster]

...which means online retailers will have theirs soon. Which means my preorder will be processed soon!

There's an issue where when Arcana's head is plugged into Brainstorm's neck socket, the clip that holds it in can grip it too tightly, and if you try to pop Arcana back out, it'll shear his head off.

Is there a video or pics of this anywhere? I cannot find them on google and I don't want to break mine when I get it.

[Cobotron]

Its in this thread
Peugh's review.
(spelling????)

[Jelze Bunnycat]

The exact nature of the problem is simpler than you'd think. In order to remove Arcana, you must first push down a certain part of Brainstorm to "unlock" him. However, a misassembly issue (I forget where) can render that feature inoperable, locking Arcana permanently in place.

I know Baltmatrix was the first to experience this issue.

It's the latter. It was regular retail price when scotty posted, and sold directly from amazon. It sold out, and now is only available from third party sellers at inflated prices.
