About d**n time!! I've been hunting for these for weeks, ever since I saw on another site that they'd been found in California. I hope they show up here soon.

My credit card is going to take a pounding...
I wonder of that's due to either, BBTS having more orders/preorders for Arcee/both than Chromia on her own, or the running change with Arcee's hands?
I've had my preorder for the pair in since April, so I'd have thought if it were the former, I'd be near the top of the list....

Chromia is part of a test program Hasbro's running where retailers can order entire cases of a single figure. Star Wars Black 6" Stormtroopers are another example. This is also why Amazon has also only received Chromia and not Arcee.
The assortment with Chromia and Arcee has been bogged down by union worker issues on the west coast, hence only California sightings before now. Seeing as they've moved a bit further east, I'd suspect some better proliferation from here out. Or hope? Something.

The test program already started?? Noice. Hopefully that will mean lower prices at online retailers soon.

I recently got Legends class Nemesis Prime, and aside from the slightly wibbly Spinister minicon (whose brickishness, loose arms and hairdryer-ish looking weapon mode kind of annoys me) he's great. I love the greenish off-black they used and the mold in question is great- a decent size and very well articulated. I'm definitely planning on starting a Legends collection now.

Some are better than others - if you start collecting the Legends, you definitely need to prioritize Cosmos and Skrapnel. They're amazing.

Aye, they do look pretty great. Skrapnel/Shrapnel is particularly high up on my priority list because I just love the Insecticons (and also he sort of works as a Clasics Shrapnel, being the same size as the G1 toy) but Cosmos looks awesome too. The iGear version looks cool as well but I think he's CHUG scale so he'll be saved for my "normal" collection.
Now let's hope I can find the Takara Optimus/Megatron 2-pack...That Megatron with the silver paint and the brown Chop Shop just looks awesome, and I'll wager Prime looks great too.
