Well Damn again...got screwed by BBTS being quick to put my order into Warehouse status and cancelled my HTS order. I went ahead and purchased (2) through Amazon (Just made it as they went up to $26.99 after confirming my purchase) because BBTS could not tell me whether their stock had the closed fist Arcee or open fist Arcee and could not guarantee my request of (2) closed fist Arcee (Amazon says my order may not arrive until 12.24.14 even with Prime shipping ). Below is a copy of response from BBTS
"Hello Travis,
Thank you for preordering Arcee with us! It does not appear that this is an intended variant and we cannot guarantee that we have any of the closed hands in our inventory. It appears that the closed hand is a minor manufacturer's defect that appears randomly. I do apologize that I cannot accommodate this request. If there is anything else I can do to assist you, please let me know as I would be happy to help."

Something I have learned is never pay more than $16.99 let alone pay $16.99 for a deluxe.
I bought Chromia and Arcee for $20.00 total yesterday.
What made me even more sick was when Amazon dropped the price on Leader Class AOE Gridlock and Optimus to less than $20...
Patiences... That seems to be the biggest thing with this hobby. Not to much because you might miss out, but just enough to wait for it to go on sale / clearance OR you lose out because you waited to long...

Seriously, HasTak. Work on improving your distribution. Fight the scalpers.

Sweet...Thanks for letting us know "It Is Him". I purchased Prime at 2:28 pm Central Time and he was still listed as IN STOCK on December 19th.

I had Silverbolt completely ordered, but without the limbs I would've had to pay for shipping for him so I used my Amazon points to cover the shipping costs. After a few minutes I decided to cancel it because I really didn't wanna waste those points on something like shipping.
So I wait yet again for these to hit somewhere I can get them all in one shot.

You could always order from BigBadToyStore (BBTS.com - feeling lazy with URLs atm). If you preorder the sets, you can activate the PIle of Loot feature, and the have everything you ordered shipped at one time.
Alternatively, Amazon Prime is awesome. I got it for the streaming video, and the 2 day free shipping on anything in the warehouse is so awesome, I didn't realize how convenient it is until I started using it.

Man, it aint that bad here. Tracking down figures over here is an art form though. Been at it 12 years and i pretty much got it down

Im surprised what with all the repaints we get that there hasnt been an Amazon Prime limited edition MP-10 done as a store exclusive via Amazon, with Optimus done in their orange, black and white colours and their 'A' logo as a faction insignia!

It's not so bad finding Transformers here in the UK, it's more the prices that bug me. Then again, it's less that what our European cousins are paying in some places!
Also, for the record, Britain isn't a bad place to live at all. My wife and I earn below the average national wage here and we live comfortably without resorting to cheating the system. It can easily be done if you get your priorities sorted. I can only speak for living in and around London (live just outside of it), and I enjoy living here. Can't speak for elsewhere in the UK, of course.

To which are you referring? Because that's not true. BBTS only received them this week and not a moment sooner.

I am sure it is fast when you live in the same state these things are shipping from. Unfortunately mine wont make it to Kansas until Saturday.

There aren't many gaps character-wise in my collection now, so it's mostly just waiting for future releases. Will help me save a bit of money I guess

I'm still trying to decide if she'll replace Delicate Warrior in my lineup or not. I think Generations has the better vehicle mode. Among other things it has a proper rear, something previous attempts at a G1 Arcee couldn't manage.
On the other hand, the robot mode doesn't feel as solid as DW. The arms in particular feel thin where DW was a pretty study figure throughout that wasn't wearing as much of a car on her back.

For me Delicate Warrior is Classics Arcee. The Generations one was an easy pass due to the kibble and hips.RiddlerJ wrote:Got my Generations Arcee.

One thing is cool about the newer figures, especially for Prime, the faction leaders ceased to be Mr Perfect Staight Tens.

Isn't it written right there in the bio that he is very rare among robots since he has a brilliant scientific mind?
He had points deducted because he stepped on a rake, and it whacked him in the face.

Looks like they just recycled the same Tech Specs from his original toy, whose bio back then was written before the cartoon was made and depicted Rhinox not as a genius jack of all trades, but instead as... whatever this is supposed to be:william-james88 wrote:Hey guys, I just noticed something.

While those aren't the same as the original toy's Tech Specs, they aren't too far off, to be frank.Noideaforaname wrote:Yeah, some of those stats are really weird. I mean, look at which two Sky-Byte is maxed out on:

Hilarious and sad at the same time. At least his bio was better than Rattrap's which focused more on literal garbage than beast wars.

I didn't see Windblade or her wave mates hit NYC until 2.5 weeks ago. So... typical distribution issues.
Also, right now all the shelves are practically ghost towns, the way parents are buying this Christmas. I've been very active this week, and haven't seen anything worthwhile in my area.
