No kidding. My TRU got 4 Animated Cyb Ratchets. No Arcees yet. DOubt I'll see either of these.

Then they had to have had 4 Arcees at some point, they came 1 to 1. Arcee is just the far more popular character. Last time I was in a TRU they had at least 8 Ratchets but no Arcees.

You're only seeing the top part of his left foot, the bottom part is being block by another figure in the foreground. Check out the right foot, the top is orange and bottom is red.

Sigh, TRU. Well, at least it's better than they're actually getting released.

YES! Once again, Animated triumphs! I would have liked it to be a Target or Walmart exclusive, cuz my toys R us sux and is always about 5 months late stocking up on anything. I still havent seen Arcee or Ratchet yet. I saw Ratchet at another Toys R us though. but the toy I REALLY want is Wingblade Optimus!

I hope finding Rodimus will be easier than finding Arcee. It took me over ten visits to 3 different TRU stores before finding Arcee. I don't think there were scalpers at work, as eBay didn't have any sellers from the Miami area. I think the demand for the figure was far greater than distribution. Did everyone who buy an Arcee also buy a Cyb Ratchet? No, that's why they were warming shelves for weeks.

I kept calling TRU ahead of time until they told me for sure there were one's one the shelves. Even then I got there just in time before they were gone.

How can we expect getting them at TRU? There are already a lot of trouble finding Arcee. I was so sick and tired of visiting the stores from time to time until I finally got Arcee. Yesterday I just visited on of the stores again but was so surprised they still stock animated leader Prime and UM and lots of past voyagers. Not even mentioning about the ROTF shelf warmers.

The TRU employees i spoke were either inept or lazy (probably more lazy) and would take forever to check anything, if they did at all. The TRUs i visited were near places i was going or a little off of the way. With Arcee, i found that timing was everything. One of the TRUs was reported on a Florida sightings board to have Arcees one evening (i had been there the day before), i was there the next day as they opened the doors, and they were already gone. Ironically, i found Arcee in the closest TRU to my house on a day that i was demoralized and going in just for the hell of it. It was a nice surprise. I reported the sighting here. I hope that helped someone.

TRU does not suck( at least the one near me doesn't) its the scalpers who get them before they even hit the shelves who suck.

Agreed, I snagged my Arcee from TRU with no problems and last time I was there they had a couple hanging on the pegs.

Rodimus is BOSS!!!

Yeah, I had no problems, either. My TRU even set Arcee aside for me at the Service Desk when I called and they had her in stock. I'd think other stores would be willing to do the same, thus removing all the "luck" people seem to need to find the figure, even when they know it's in stock.

Thats great news that Rodimus and Ironhide are going being released. It took a few weeks worth of trips to TRU but at least I finally found Arcee. I'm sure picking up Rodimus won't be anywhere near as difficult.

by **Julie85** » Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:55 pm

This is great news! I'm definitely going to try to get Rodimus. I hope Wingblade Optimus and Vortex Blurr are still going to be released too.

Once more than a small handful of people can say the same, I'll take it back. Until then, they suck. Meanwhile you have other TRU exclusives that have been sitting there for the last year that they refuse to put on clearance... Guess they found the solution to that!

Target remains the best exclusive store. They always seem to be well distributed and you never have too hard of a time finding them. Nor do they mark up the figures for being exclusives and they will actually put them on clearance.
