Re: Impossible Toys Arcee up for preorder
Never even thought that Hasbro might make a WfC Arcee. But if they did it'd be fine by me!
The problem with Impossible Toy's Arcee is that Animated Arcee JUST came out. They should have brought this out years ago, when they first announced it. Plus we're saturated with Fansproject's kits, those of us who've preordered them anyway.
And now there's rumors of a Generations Arcee. It's a triple hit!
Terrible timing.
Well, I might get this too, eventually.

Same here, and I will most likely only get Arcee.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

How do you check the preorder "stock" over at BBTS? I wasn't aware you could even keep track of it.

Add the item to the shopping cart then update the amount with some outlandish number, it will automatically update the amount they currently have available.

Put it in the cart, put in a ridiculous number like 1,000 and click refresh. It'll automatically adjust it to current stock levels (their words) and show you how many are left.
Just make sure to empty the cart or turn it back to one, or you'll end up buying all of them.

Re: Impossible Toys Arcee up for preorder
I have been waiting for over 24 years to get G1 Arcee, price is not a problem. The fact she fits in with G1 and Classics is great. It is a great interpretation of her (except the slightly too large head) and one I need in my collection.
OT, AutobotJazz87, thanks for that concept pic, I have never seen it before. The character designs for this game are awesome. You can really tell the creators have a lot of love for the game. Please, please, please Hasbro, turn them all into toys especially Omega Supreme. I didn't realise Sentinal was in it. I thought the previous prime was changed to Zeta Prime.

I agree that the designs are great and show a lot of love for the characters, but if that's the figure Hasbro's considering producing, I'm glad I went with IP's figure instead. That Arcee doesn't float my boat, and just wouldn't fit with FP's stuff.
Animated Blurr actually looks quite nice with the FP stuff, and should look great next to Arcee.
...now, how the heck do we get a Kup? Because if he doesn't have a G1 look and goes WFC in terms of design, he's gonna be a sore spot for me.
Wheelie, I'm not too worried about, because he's being made with a new design from PerfectEffect, and Masterpiece Grimlock will fit in just right with these, but Kup? I dunno.

UM, you realize that Movie Slapdash will do the same thing?
@earlier poster: Actually, I bet the number of Classics fans who bought Animated Arcee would be higher if they could actually FIND her, and not the remains of some sadistic ebay seller who took off with them all... or maybe I'm just bitter.

Wow, after 24 years, we're quite possibly getting three Arcee figures in one year?
I thought we would have to settle for Animated Arcee for a very long time. Though I'll still get one if/when I find her. And I'm very glad to hear that Hasbro may finally be making a Classics Arcee...which had better be a car. But even so, after the news of DriftBlurr, my expectations for her alt mode are not very high. And I'm fairly certain that Hasbro will never get around to making an Arcee that's as accurate as this one from IT. Only FansProject could do better. Yeah the price is high, but I just can't pass this up, despite my very limited budget.
In other words, SOLD! to all three.

Well, so do I (especially for the movie), but the $10 Classics Wheelie fit my Wheelie slot perfectly. And, if PE's not-Rumble is any indication, this will be even smaller and cost a whole lot more.
Well ... i guess there *is* a market for that guy.

Yeah, I got Animated Arcee as a "Classics" Arcee. To replace the Energon version. Hot Rod needs a full sized lady, you see. Although, even though I got her, Valkerie
tempting. But I have too many preorders, so ... it's a pass. For now.is

I had forgotten about Classics Wheelie, considering he never made it to stores around here. I've never seen him in person once, so out of sight, out of mind.
That said, what's the big deal all of a sudden about the one from PE? A lot of people sound angry about it...I just don't get it.

Angry? No. Shocked? Yes.
Typically, 3rd party companies fill a void in a collection. Take Springer. HasTak has not offered us a triple changing, unique mold of Springer. And he was in the movie ... he's pretty popular. Since they likely never will give us a Springer a costly 3rd party figure is a given.
Even a "Classics" Rumble / Frenzy. Most aren't satisfied with the headphones, so again, the popular characters who'll likely never get done, are filled by a 3rd party.
Well, Wheelie has been done. And he's actually the best out of all that line of Legends figures. So, not only has he been done well, and he's cheap, but he's also not a very popular character.
So, naturally, when PE announced Wheelie most of us are like ... why bother?
With all that in mind, I'm surprised anyone would want PE Wheelie. To me, there just isn't a market for it. But, clearly you want it, so I'm surprised.

Everyone's cringing at the price, including me. Goddamn --that's more than TRU MP Grimlock and LC Starscream!! Geezus. I have 1 of Impossible toys' Quints and I love it, so i'm sure I'll be pleased with this. Too bad no earlier heads up on the release -just dropped it on us 1 day. Anyway, just placed my order. I doubt there'll be a price adjustment, but i hope BBTS honors the current price if it goes up & adjusts if it goes down. The "medic" figure -who is that based off of?? Chromia?? Moonracer? homage to someone?

Heres a thought, what if Hasbro did a KO of this Arcee? What would be the legal standing on that? It is a Hasbro character after all isn't it? Even if they changed it a little?

If I remember correctly, it's a matter of "You snooze, you lose".
While they own her original design, all logos and names, IP was the first to make a mass production toy of said design and since it doesn't use Hasbro's direct designs, they may not have much of a leg to stand on.
I might be incorrect on this, but I think Hasbro said they may not have a recourse.
IF anyone does, it might be Rabid Squirrel Productions because their design is close to this one (at least in terms of vehicle mode, robot...not quite) and RSP claimed to have records (with photo proof) that Hasbro wasn't seeking legal action over their A.R.C. robot.
So, I doubt IP will have much of a problem, especially since the figure is under $100.00 and that's the supposed cap.
Now, back to the other replies about Wheelie...
1.) I had forgotten about Classics Wheelie.
2.) I had forgotten about Classics Wheelie.
3.) I had forgotten about Classics Wheelie.
4.) I'll wait for pictures of the finished product before I make a decision, and it's my money, so what does it matter?
Geez.

It's the Paradron Medic from the old G1 cartoon Episode Fight or Flee. In the episode, she was basically a green Arcee.
At this point, someone should really give her an official name.

Well they already have 2 videos of what looks like a real production toy, so I'm not worried.
I'm really suprised that Medic is selling a lot better than Valkyrie. So many people want a niche character that only showed up in a single episode? Odd.

That right there is the Arcee I've always wanted, the details are fantastic! I have to say I'm a bit suprised by the price in a good way actualy, I was expecting this to cost a lot more but with some saving this is do-able, expensive yes but do-able! Now to find out when that pre-order ends...
I've never actually purchased a transformer not made by the offical companys, are the materials quality generaly speaking? because that is an important factor.
