Very nicely done robot mode. Only complaint I have about it is the high visibility of the wheels. Other than that the articulation looks awesome and the accuracy of capturing her movie likeness is great. The alt mode, however, is as much as a turn off as the price tag. If I could afford her she would likely remain in bot mode anyways to be displayed with some of the soon-to-be-acquired Generations & RTS figures to round out a G1 Updated display, but I can't justify that kind of cost for a single figure at this time. I've got at least 15 movies to save up for that I want to see more than I want to purchase a single figure.

I ordered this from igear about two days before the generations Arcee rumor. I was bummed a bit because I had just paid for it too.

Now, two days after the rumor is proven to be false, I get the notice from igear that it shipped!

The robot mode has this going for it over Valkerie: she can actually stand up. And sit down with both legs stretched out in front of her. Plus she's as tall as a deluxe.

The price is definately a turn off for most folks. If I didn't have the money, I wouldn't have bought her and settled for Animated Arcee ... or even Energon Arcee.

Complaining about it isn't gonna make it any cheaper. Especially if you have no intention to buy. Pay to play folks. I think she looks nice and I might still get one eventually. Although I might take my chances ordering through other channels.

Chill out there money bags! Don't get angry at people for not wanting to drop 100 bucks on a chunk of pink plastic.

Some folks would really like to buy it but aren't fortunate enough to have the 100 plus bucks for it and it pisses them off and they maybe wanna vent about it to their fellow TF collectors.

Sorry it pisses you off that some of us aren't loaded. I think YOU need to get a grip.

Moneybags? Please by all means make assumptions to my monetary status. I am currently unemployed and receiving unemployment to make ends meet. I do not have the funds myself to get one. I will eventually though. You see if I want something badly enough, instead of complaining about it, I either make it happen or I go about my business. I don't need to vent about it because it isn't my life nor does it have any true effect on my emotions. It is a thing. Nothing more, nothing less. I love Transformers and toys as much as the next geek/nerd/whatever but I don't need to waste my time complaining about things that won't change or showing my ignorance by telling others we are entitled to something. I think the only thing I might need to get a grip on is my use of forums. The negativity, entitlement and nerd rage are completely ridiculous. Too many of us need to take a step back and reevaluate our priorities but sadly, won't.

You got every one of them?! you $^!$ son of a !#%~@^% why i outa $@!%!$!$@&^$ broken glass !#$@%!^!# $@! fried chicken burns

No way!!! nice yes but that's the price of a masterpiece ss, a vintage g1 figure, an fp protector or warbot which at least was nice in all 3 modes. Nu -uh, this will be filling any warehouse that ordered them and will have to be clearanced in the future to move.

@ang313s

I don't think so bro'. Despite her hefty price tag the store I got her from sold out almost instantly while IT's Valkyrie is gathering dust.

So just like FP, you put out a high quality product, despite the price, people will still get it.

on a side note, concerning FP, due to my vintage G1 hunting/spending binge, missed Bruticus and passed on Protector. Maybe will target, just maybe Masterpiece Rodimus.
