Transformers Titans Return Arcee Shipping From Toysrus and Arriving as Early as Nov 10

Last time i checked my Arcee, she was in Indianapolis, so if eyeglass it to my Post Office today she will be on my doorstep tmrw. Otherwise I expect Saturday.

mine is coming on the 11th

Am I the only one still waiting for their Arcee order to be filled? I seem to be the only one here complaining about it.

Emerje

Ah Transformers - I remember them ; they were popular in the 1980's were they not. Do they still make them ?

Mine is scheduled for the 11th.

Dang. Maybe I'll nab a second one.

My Triggerhappy and Misfires' wrists actually have a locking point. My Slugslinger does NOT lock - AND - his right hand falls off relatively easily. It's not Scourge-levels of flop-wrist, but it falls apart... :/

My Slugslinger is the same. Hands don't lock in at ALL, whereas Misfire's and Triggerhappy's definitely do.

I got mine on November 9th! I had to re-order it after it was cancelled on November 7th. It took two days to get here. Wow!

I'm trying very hard not to absolutely lose it on the train over "T-Dubz". Not gonna call him anything else from now on, that is too good

Also goddangit, every time I see a picture of one of the targetmaster trip I get closer and closer to swallowing my pride and forking out the daft kinda money they go for over here. £20+ for a deluxe is ghastly (though even anything over 15 makes me baulk tbh) but triggerhappy is lonely and the other two look so delicious...

I've all but given up on arcee considering I'm yet to hear of any confirmation for a UK release and she seems to be going for leader price or more through import. Hasbro, lads, I love you but sort your problems with distribution (particularly for non-us markets and the old wave skipping habit) before you start chucking around esclusives, please.

I finally got gnaw. I really like that little guy. He's so cute. I may have to get a couple of him and have a little squad. Would have preferred him a little bigger, but he works at that size.

Alright, so the Arcee ship date for TRU has come and gone and the figure is sold out, but we still haven't heard a word about Grotusque. In fact, a search for Grotusque/Grotesque on the TRU website now gives zero results related to transformers anymore. The orignal post from HTS is also gone.

Does anyone else that missed out on the original release think that this might just not happen? If it is going to TRU, considering the mess the made of Arcee, I'm not very hopeful. It is weird that we have heard absolutely nothing from Hasbro.

Yeah...TRU.com has to be one of the most convoluted unorganized, glitchiest pieces of garbage I've seen for such a large company. Even when my orders were completed, the site never finished reloading, thank goodness for the confirmation e-mails

You have "add to cart" - ok obviously the item is in stock
"Out of Stock"...ok we know what that means...

But then Arcee & Trypticon say "See Details"...now I don't want to give anyone false hopes here, but there is an option to get an e-mail when the item does become available again (which to me means they anticipate getting more). I would not put much stock in this if it were just Arcee. But we know Trypticon is a regular release, so they will no doubt get more at some point. I would think/hope that if it were not the same case with Arcee, it would truly say "Out of Stock"...

Oh and also the placeholders for the wave 5 deluxes they had up are now gone... so I have no clue.


But I guess it could be worse. On HTS, you have no idea if an item is in stock or not, until you try to click on it.


As for Grotusque. All we know is that Hasbro stated at NYCC they would be "available at a later date via another retailer". We don't know when that is, or what retailer. I would think more are coming. It would look very bad from Hasbro's perspective to not have the toy available for purchase at NYCC, only available via HTS so more people at home who were savvy enough to be online during that couple of hours they were available, could have got them, then the ones who actually attended the convention.

With a mug like his, I think he can pull it off!
The price for deluxes shall be going up in the States as well, once PotP arrives -- 20 USD, iirc. I prefer 10-15, but sometimes ya just get desperate when plastic crack is staring you in the face.

I was hoping for a b&m TR Arcee (actually, Grotesque plz!) release, but I'm not gonna hold my breath, needless to say.

I'm pretty sure deluxes are staying the same. I believe it is the voyagers and leaders are are going up to match the TLK pricing.

Currently, the Leaders for both flavors of TF are currently 45-50 in OR, depending on the seller. I'd hate to see the Voyagers at $30+, but I'll prioritize the purchases accordingly.

Is "Toysrus" a Canadian toy store? Is it anything like Toys R Us? Just curious.

Anyone else get their TR Arcee yet? After the glitch with the cancelled orders I honestly didn't expect her to show up so early! And I'm really digging the love put into these little giftset packages

Just got mine an hour ago!

Yeah. My Arcee came in yesterday. Still haven't had a chance to break her out, but I did open the box to take a peek. She looks awesome in the Blurrstormica mold. It was a cool smart decision to use it for her.

Now if I can just find some time to play.

Blurrstormicacee?

Brainblurrcee?

I am definitely looking forward to pics.

I finally opened up the Clones...They have very tight joints and look great! I may never have Wingspan's clone brother Pounce, but oh well -- he's still fun to have.

Toysrus.com says my Arcees are shipping, but I won't believe it until I see a confirmation email.

Emerje

For the Walgreen's where the clones have been found, were there also TR Deluxes in stock?

Yes, but usually only Quake.

I've only seen Triggerhappy and Chromedome there myself.

I never did find wave 4 in any great number and only at Target. Haven't seen wave 5 at all.

Emerje

I threw some photos of her on my Instagram, couldn’t find a way to source them to here quickly but here’s the link!

I didn’t get a confirmation email, in fact I got a delay email similar to how I did the first time I ordered her. Then she magically showed up with no tracking number or anything like grotusque. I was kinda surprised.
Toys r us must have some problems with their systems.

I also did not get a shipping confirmation email. I got a order confermation, and had to use that to find tracking and shipping info. It's not the first time a TRU.com has gone down that way for me. Their system is funny.

That all aside, I really like this Arcee. Better than the T30 one. I like T30 Arcee for her source accuracy, but there were some wonky proportions I couldn't warm up to (*cough* thunder thighs). this was a smart and cool use for this mold and I like the Classics style neo G1 update vibe she gives off. Her color layout and head sculpt are top notch!

Odd, when I re-ordered I got

[list=[*]An Order Confirmation
[*]A notice of delay for out of stock items
[*]an email that my order was being processed (two days later, probably generated when they scanned the newly arrived inventory into the system)
[*]an email that there was a delay in packaging my order (because product was not on shelves yet to be packed
[*]my shipping email
[*] A Fedex Email I think?
[*]An Arcee. ] [/list]

The Targets in the area have been only coming up with TLK and now Krok & Quake. There's the TR Voyagers, too, but c'mon now....no Overlord or wave5, and certainly no early PotP deluxes here.

I took pics of the Autobot Clones. Legends Class is cool.

Picked up Slugslinger this weekend at Walmart and got Trypticon from HTS!!!

my Slugslinger does have some minor issues. His fists will not tab in at all, and the left one comes off when attaching or attempting to remove his gun from that hand. Otherwise, he is great and he looks good with Triggerhappy and Misfire!!

Trypticon is a beast and I love him. He is the best city titan by far.

No luck on the clones front though

I'm thoroughly irritated that I've found every member of wave 4 except Perceptor and it's driving me nuts. By the by, can someone who owns TR Arcee and Magnus post/send a pic of Magnus' Titanmaster on TR Voyager Prime? I'm just curious about how it'd look.

I've been on an RG1 binge lately, rereading the entire series multiple times and loving it so much.

And with that note, I wish we would have gotten a red and blue Perceptor and an RG1 colored Galvatron. Those are both awesome and I kinda really want both

Picked up megatron, have to admit, I love the design, the torso is a bit big, and the headmaster is laughably small, but the transformation is great.

I am speaking of the second one I got, the first one just snapped apart. The plastic he's made out of is appallingly loathsome, the socket holding the screws in his waist in just f'ing sheared off, I couldn't even open him up to try and fix it. This is like, CW silverbolt levels of bad quality plastic

Of all the figures to start getting stress marks, it had to be this one... Always had a bad feeling about those arm tabs.

Oof. I try to transform him sparingly just for that fear. That's one part that probably would have benefited from a reinforcement pin.

Wait, are his arms different from misfire's? Mine on misfires are nowhere near being stressed

Only parts the arms have in common are the fists and elbows. I don't have Misfire yet (maybe I'll find wave 5 some day...) so I don't know how well his arms peg in, but Slugslinger's pegs don't feel very strong.

Misfire plugs in similarly. However, there isn't a wing to keep the arm in place, and the arm doesn't peg into the leg as deep as on Slugslinger. Less secure connection, but keeps stuff from breaking.

Anyone got Misfire?

He's not appearing in stocks except alot of Weirdwolfs and Perceptors (tons of them) in my TRU stores

Titan Master Thunderwing: "MUWAHAHAHA! Now that people know that TLK Nitro is compatible with Titan Masters, everyone will be rushing out to use it as a full body for me! I daresay, who else could that figure possibly be used for but to illustrate my glory?!!"


Titan Master Apeface: "...Hold my beer."

HOLY $#!&, Apeface!! That's cool.

Not to mention perfect overall Decepticon-coloring for a transtector.

While Transformers Titans Return Titan Master Ramhorn has been found at Meijer's in the US, he still has not been spotted at either of the three big box stores in the country. However, we just got notice that he has been found at Walmart, in Canada. To be more precise, this Ramhorn was found at Bayers Lake Walmart in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This figure coming out at a major retailer in North America is a good sign that he will eventually be found in the US at a similar retailer. for those unaware, Ramhorn is the only new Titan Master in the fifth wave of Titans Return figures. Also, if this news is to be believed, he could be coming out later in a solid case at retailers who have chosen to order more Titan Master cases.
The sighting comes to us from dho10 who posted it on Cybertron.ca.

^ yay!

Hope it shows up in American walmarts too. How the hell I already own POTP deluxes but not Ramhorn?

Ok, what is wrong with this Broadside?!?
For $15, I'm tempted but that's just so weird -- like it was fan modded and repackaged?

Whose Head is that?

Looks like Gypsy Danger from PR...I have no idea what that head is from.

No idea - it looks like TM Clobber with Misfire's legs and Lione's torso....?

I wouldn't bank on it showing up at Walmart. None of the ones near me even stock the titan masters anymore.

I don't get why everyone is holding out for him showing up at retail stores. Why not just order one from entertainment earth? Sure, you will pay about $4 extra for shipping a small single figure, but as an avid TF hunter, I can certainly confirm that I have already spent 5 times that in gas money trying to hunt him down. As soon as entertainment earth put up the single figure listing, I pre-ordered and started saving money in trying to find him. I actually did the same thing with the wave 5 deluxes, which still haven't showed up in my area. I also ordered Slugslinger off Amazon when they had it for $20. Of course, he showed up at Walmart the day after the figure arrived, but even then, I was happy with the price since it really only came out to be about $2-3 more than if I found him in stores first.

I totally get the thrill of the hunt, but man, this line at its chaotic at best distribution, have me considering just ordering online for about MSRP for all most of PotP once the Christmas sales pass.
