Generations Arcee and Chromia sighted at retail

About d**n time!! I've been hunting for these for weeks, ever since I saw on another site that they'd been found in California. I hope they show up here soon.

Great news!
Now if I could just find Gears.

Shajaki - hopefully very soon, those two, plus Hexatron are what I'm waiting for before I ship my PoL

Oddly, BBTS has Chromia in stock but not Arcee.

I wonder of that's due to either, BBTS having more orders/preorders for Arcee/both than Chromia on her own, or the running change with Arcee's hands?

I've had my preorder for the pair in since April, so I'd have thought if it were the former, I'd be near the top of the list....

Chromia is part of a test program Hasbro's running where retailers can order entire cases of a single figure. Star Wars Black 6" Stormtroopers are another example. This is also why Amazon has also only received Chromia and not Arcee.

The assortment with Chromia and Arcee has been bogged down by union worker issues on the west coast, hence only California sightings before now. Seeing as they've moved a bit further east, I'd suspect some better proliferation from here out. Or hope? Something.

The test program already started?? Noice. Hopefully that will mean lower prices at online retailers soon.

sweet, according to the RK Newsletter, Combiner Wars Legends, Deluxes and Voyagers start shipping Monday, meaning based on previous experience, should have them by next Thurs/Fri.

Nice.

Im hoping she will get in before I have to ship my order. I got some stuff ready but they are for Christmas.

I recently got Legends class Nemesis Prime, and aside from the slightly wibbly Spinister minicon (whose brickishness, loose arms and hairdryer-ish looking weapon mode kind of annoys me) he's great. I love the greenish off-black they used and the mold in question is great- a decent size and very well articulated. I'm definitely planning on starting a Legends collection now.

Some are better than others - if you start collecting the Legends, you definitely need to prioritize Cosmos and Skrapnel. They're amazing.

Aye, they do look pretty great. Skrapnel/Shrapnel is particularly high up on my priority list because I just love the Insecticons (and also he sort of works as a Clasics Shrapnel, being the same size as the G1 toy) but Cosmos looks awesome too. The iGear version looks cool as well but I think he's CHUG scale so he'll be saved for my "normal" collection.

Now let's hope I can find the Takara Optimus/Megatron 2-pack...That Megatron with the silver paint and the brown Chop Shop just looks awesome, and I'll wager Prime looks great too.

So far for legends all I am missing is Acid Storm...not that concerned about that one really...

Hopefully this means that the U.S online stores will be getting these soon as well.

Those of you who get the open-handed variant of Arcee, you might need to shorten the handles for her weapons. Mine has ridges at the bottom of the hands that prevent them from sliding all the way down. Makes her guns/swords sit up too far in her hands.

The wait is over guys. Hasbro Toy Shop has Generations Arcee and Chromia in-stock as of 3:09 PM eastern time. Remember to use SAVE20 for 20% off and free shipping in the USA, and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Awesome news for anyone still needing these two!

Great news! The SAVE20 code works for free shipping plus 20% off. Glad I've waited and didn't order from BBTS.

Since when they have Brainstorm listed and out of stock? Guess I've missed it.

Damn!!!!! ...Hasbro you really suck on your timing.

I ordered (2) from BBTS this morning and order has entered warehouse so I cannot cancel. With shipping my order through BBTS cost me $41.47.


~reluctantyouth~




Crap...Well went ahead and ordered (2) through Hasbro as well and total for that order was $25.48. I figure I'll keep the best(2) of the (4) and return the others to my local Walmart without receipt. My Walmart has never giving me trouble about returning items sans receipt for store credit.

Ouch, that really sucks man.

Arcee is out of stock.. Hope everyone was able to get one!!

just got my confirmation Arcee/Chromia have joined Brainstorm in my POL. Just waiting on Hexatron, and I can ship. If only postage wasn't so expensive to Aus....

EDIT: Can back up earlier comments about Cosmos. Get him, one of the better new legends figures. Got him Monday along with my CW Wave 1.

Shrapnel is also great, but Reflector as a weapon is kinda meh. Bombshell rocks.
Acid Storm is the only legends Seeker I have and opened, pretty cool mould, but I'm not sure I want to collect three sets of Seekers (already have 7 each of the classics and FOC moulds) so Thundercracker is sitting unopened, next to Windcharger for now (Have the United Scout version) - if anyone in Aus (preferably Melbourne) is interested in these two, plus Tailgate, all unopened, let me know.

As usual im late to the party arcee is sold out, fraking scalpers. Id get chromia but i wont get free shipping so theres no point, not paying $20 for a deluxe. Hopefully shes back in stock before the code expires and chromia is still around.

I wouldn't say it's all scalpers. I mean I got one too. Weve just been eating for this figure for about 28 years.

And of course, as soon as I check the site and try to place my order, she's gone.

Eh. I like to wait until they hit retail so I can pick one out myself.

and i missed arcee. damn it.

If I read that right, you are in the New York area. She is bound to show up at retail within the next few months. Or even simply the walmart.com website

I'm waiting for Arcee to show up at Amazon again. Two day shipping and I usually have a gift card or something so it'll be a better deal.

Confound it all. I missed out on HTS as well. Hope to find these at Walmart soon enough.

yeah but will she be 20% off see thats the key. Unless hasbro decided to up the quality theres no way in hell im paying close to $17(after taxes) for her. If ordered from a website throw on another $7 for shipping, not worth it. Ill just keep an eye on HTS & hope they're in stock by the 25th, if not oh well my collection wont suffer any and ill use the money to pick up a few neca alien & predator figures.

He was listed a couple of weeks back. I ordered two (one for me, one for a fellow TF fan/friend) and a couple of days before they got here, I found him at a Walmart near me.

Wish I'd thought to cancel my preorder of the fembots from BBTS, but oh well.

Figures. I got my fem-bots off BBTS yesterday. Ah well. Works out in the long run, I suppose. Arcee isn't available on HTS and I had MP Wheeljack sitting in my POL on BBTS.

Wonder if I'll get them before Christmas

In my area, Walmart is the least place to shop TFs since DOTM. Haven't been any of the stores for very long and past few days just paid them a visit because of Brainstorm. Of course not found anything. In fact, most of the stores almost have nothing. Wonder how much hope I should keep on them.

Missed out on Arcee at Hasbro Toy Shop yesterday? Fear not Amazon has her in-stock right now as of 10:39 AM eastern time! Get her now before she's gone and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Now this is news.

All gone.

Closed Fist vs. Open (Who has what?)

Well Damn again...got screwed by BBTS being quick to put my order into Warehouse status and cancelled my HTS order. I went ahead and purchased (2) through Amazon (Just made it as they went up to $26.99 after confirming my purchase) because BBTS could not tell me whether their stock had the closed fist Arcee or open fist Arcee and could not guarantee my request of (2) closed fist Arcee (Amazon says my order may not arrive until 12.24.14 even with Prime shipping ). Below is a copy of response from BBTS


"Hello Travis,

Thank you for preordering Arcee with us! It does not appear that this is an intended variant and we cannot guarantee that we have any of the closed hands in our inventory. It appears that the closed hand is a minor manufacturer's defect that appears randomly. I do apologize that I cannot accommodate this request. If there is anything else I can do to assist you, please let me know as I would be happy to help."

~reluctantyouth~

*Cough* *Cough*

Something I have learned is never pay more than $16.99 let alone pay $16.99 for a deluxe.
I bought Chromia and Arcee for $20.00 total yesterday.

What made me even more sick was when Amazon dropped the price on Leader Class AOE Gridlock and Optimus to less than $20...

Patiences... That seems to be the biggest thing with this hobby. Not to much because you might miss out, but just enough to wait for it to go on sale / clearance OR you lose out because you waited to long...

These will be coming ot retail soon, and I am waiting for that. Will probably pick them both up for 20$ alltogether when it happens too.

Huh, seems that anything named Arcee is going to get scalped to death. Remember what happened with Animated Arcee (AKA the deluxe I paid £40 for)?

Seriously, HasTak. Work on improving your distribution. Fight the scalpers.

I bought my Animated Arcee at TRU in person.

Yes, but do you live in Britain? A lot of the figures that come out in the US don't come out over here. Also there's no TRU within convenient distance of me and by the time I found out about the figure's existance it was already out of stock basically everywhere. Also I was like 14 at the time.

Prime and Silverbolt are up.
