Also would like to point out, how much do y'all reckon this will cost? I doubt they'd try to sell 3 deluxes for $150 like most SDCC exclusives.

Looks like the same design to me, except for maybe the new paintjob and extra lines on her chest that maybe a minor remolded piece, or at worst be just painted on.

After all it is just Beast Hunters Optimus' sword and they've retooled her hands to use it and the retail Arcee couldn't hold it. Yeah that item is pretty pointless right now.
Shockwave7 wrote:I don't know if Generations Arcee was ever on Hasbrotoyshop. Definitely not there now. Chromia was there for a while, but they took her down too. I never saw any of them on the shelf at any major retailers, including Target. There were only like 1 or 2 Windblades that ever showed up locally. I'm not sure what happened exactly, but the fembot molds never got any shelf space to speak of in my neck of the woods. You practically had to go crawling to Amazon or BBTS and pay their higher prices.
This box set may be the only option left for people who missed out on these molds. But depending on how much the box set costs, it may be cheaper to go to BBTS. (That would be a first....)

What should I do?

Unless people dont want to buy this pack or cant due to its limited nature and just want those items for the toys they already have.
Whoever buy the weapons set could always give the weapons to other figures. Arcee specifically doesn't need to be the one to wield that cleaver.Randomhero wrote:william-james88 wrote:Randomhero wrote:That 3rd party group that's making Arcee's sword is probably shooting themselves in the foot now.

As i already said , the retail Arcee can't hold 5mn weapons and the sword is. Hence the retool of this black and pink Arcee.

Instead of just releasing the figures individually they put them in a set that no store will carry except TRU, the base prices is going to be inflated cause its "platinum" then TRU is going to raise the price more cause its what they do. Thats if TRU even gets it cause we all know the never restock. If you dont want people to have something hasbro just dont make it.

Is that art in your signature something you made?

So, my question, why couldn't Hasbro have just given Arcee 5mm hand holes to begin with?
It is a good question, but important to note how involved her hands and gun are in her transformation. I think they may have made them flat so the gave ground clearance when holding the gun in alt mode.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Flashwave wrote:So, my question, why couldn't Hasbro have just given Arcee 5mm hand holes to begin with?
Just a silly thought, since Arcee was a complete TakaraTomy design (I forget who exactly did it) it may not have had to adhere to the 5mm standard. On the flipside, the retooling may mean the original weapons will be dropped from this release.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

How will she hold together in alt mode?

Yup, pictures are a few pages back.
