Cool! I will check my local WM tomorrow. I was worried we would not see this one because of combiner wars.

Now, we just need Arcee and Chromia!

Arcee and Chromia have been out in Honk Kong for a month now, they should be coming real soon.

Sorry, I cannot believe that. I have been looking at amazon daily looking for it for the last two weeks. The cheapest I have seen it for on there is $21. Same with Brainstorm. There is no way you picked it up on amazon at retail price.

Was Chromia in stock and sold by Amazon? I only see it and Arcee listed by 3rd party sellers



I don't buy it. If they are telling the truth, then there should be no problem snipping the invoice and posting it here. The cheapest Chromia I have seen in the last three weeks was for $21 shipped.

Not that I think he is lying for sure as he could be telling the truth and they just went real quickly.

There's an issue where when Arcana's head is plugged into Brainstorm's neck socket, the clip that holds it in can grip it too tightly, and if you try to pop Arcana back out, it'll shear his head off.

Is there a video or pics of this anywhere? I cannot find them on google and I don't want to break mine when I get it.

The exact nature of the problem is simpler than you'd think. In order to remove Arcana, you must first push down a certain part of Brainstorm to "unlock" him. However, a misassembly issue (I forget where) can render that feature inoperable, locking Arcana permanently in place.

I know Baltmatrix was the first to experience this issue.

Was Chromia in stock and sold by Amazon? I only see it and Arcee listed by 3rd party sellers

It's the latter. It was regular retail price when scotty posted, and sold directly from amazon. It sold out, and now is only available from third party sellers at inflated prices.

When I searched an hour ago it was showing it @16.99, but when I refreshed right after that, it was $21, so I thought it was a glitch.

Even if Scotty got it at $16.99, that is not retail. $14.99 is retail.

Did you see the same thing I did?

Actually, it depends on the retailer. And even different stores within a chain have different prices. A few of my local Targets have Generations Deluxes at $16.99 while other Targets have the normal $14.99. Some WalMarts in my area are the same as well. One in particular still has the $9.97 as a price, while others are at $14.99. Very odd.
