Hmmm, price is a bit disappointing. I was hoping for around $60 (at most). I will still probably buy her, but I think they'll find less takers at $70.

On the positive side, she is about the same height as Classics Rodimus.

Price is slightly higher than what I was hoping for, but I'll take 'em!

Has anyone heard if TFsource is gonna put up a pre-order for these yet?

How much!?!

I get the feeling that somebody is laughing and rubbing their hands together.

Hate to think that these will cost by the time they get to the UK. Shame as I was really looking forward to a decent G1 Arcee.

I really do think these 3rd party companys are taking advantage of the Transformer fans. Nothing wrong with making a bit of money but deliberatly pricing them so high....or are these a limited production run? If they are then ok I can understand the price.

Very tempting but I'll have to hold off on these for now. Especially since I was just charged for Henkei Convoy at BBTS. That reminds me, off topic but to those that are interested, Henkei Convoy is now in stock as of right now at BBTS.

Hopefully the rumors of Hasbro releasing Arcee and Kup as a part of the Generations line in the future is true. :D

Third party items are always much more limited runs than if it were Hasbro or Takara. It costs them a lot more per unit to make the things. It could also be the retailer as well, they need their cut as well, as with any product.


The price could definitely better, but compared to Defender, this is acceptable. This month seems really soon, so I'm not sure how much truth the release date holds, but as long as FP doesn't pull a miracle and release the Bruticus set at the same time, I'll be okay. If Valkyrie is indeed released soon I think I'm going to ship my loot, I don't need to pay a boatload of duties when the Bruticus sets get released.

She's going with my classics, I think, though the box will be displayed with the G1s. If Hasbro does do a Classics Arcee, Valkryie goes with the G1s. :)

Hmmmm? :? I think I'm just gonna go with the medic for now. Not interested in Arcee. I want to wait till after Botcon before deciding if she needs to be bought or not.

Can't say that the price surprises me. It's fair, but still steep.

With the Bruticus set and Label Blaster preordered this'll just have to wait.

I don't care about the price. As soon as I began reading the article, I ran to BBTS and placed an order. :x

Lordy that's expensive, I'd have to think about that one.

More expensive than I can afford at the moment, but I'll probably pick up one or both eventually. They look absolutely fantastic.

All that and no handjob? Sir, I believe you to be a fool! :-?

I preordered it. I had to. Even though I couldn't afford it.

$70.00's cheaper than what was paid for Warbot Defender.

Plus we have no idea what Hasbro's design for her will be.

I'm going for it. I preordered it about 30 minutes ago.

Same here. Soon as I refreshed RSS and noticed the news, I immediately placed preorder for both :grin:

That's true considering that its still only a rumor/hint? If I were to guess, it'd probably be based off of her War for Cybertron design in which the robot mode and alt-mode are both really on point. I'm not sure if this pic is okay to use, but I stumbled upon this a while ago. Hope I don't get in trouble. :-$

She's on the lower right. Concept is just a thought though.

The WFC Arcee looks good, I preordered the Valkyrie and will also get whatever Hasbro releases.
