We got an alleged sighting over a month ago, but the person who originally reported it failed to provide a receipt AND apparently has a terrible track record.

This one looks more promising, a photo of multiple Arcees hanging on the pegs inside the store, plus another user directly backing up the sighting from the same store.

Walmart in Phoenix, Arizona.

EDIT: Another sighting from another Walmart in Mesa, Arizona.

Personally, I think at this point no receipts are necessary.

EDIT 2: Still we get a receipt:

Nice price too

 

Very promising. I'd buy that for 9.96 deluxes are back up to $14.99 'round my parts.

Edit: Looks they were $14.99 by the receipt.

 

this is gonna be some messed up crap if all Walmart stock this before the preorders we have had for months get filled.  

 

I'd love to own either one of these lovely ladies. I don't have ANY fembots in my collection...

 

First LEGIT sighting. Nice!

 

Wait.....WHAT you mean to tell me that only now they've finally be legitimately released?

Either way there is almost no doubt I'm never to going to see this wave at this rate....*sigh*. I can't believe they waited this long in the year to release the wave only to make it so much difficult to find at retail.

 

About a month ago somebody claimed Arcee was purchased at a California Target store without anything to back it up.

 

Woo hooo !

 

I had a pre-order with BBTS but I cancelled it. I can get the same figure for the same or less price from Amazon Prime and not pay for shipping. Just haven't got around to it.

I'm waiting to see it in person. Chromia I plan on picking up, Arcee not so much. I like the Tron light cycle vibe Chromia has.

 

That was a fake sighting, yeah...but I bought them myself. I put up the photo with the receipt, and they were $14.99 each.

 

Cool, hopefully we get them soon in our neck of the woods. Went to Walmart earlier and there was a lonesome Rattrap on the pegs so there is hope!

 

I completely agree and nothing pisses me off more when a wave I pre-ordered at BBTS shows up at mass retail while I'm still left waiting for up to a month for Joel to get it in.

Granted, that situation is rare, but it has happened in the past ( the summer of last year, I believe?). This, plus the added oddity that so many online retailers received Chromia and no Arcee has only added to the frustration of acquiring this wave.

Bit of a loose, unconfirmed rumor that most online e-tailers will be receiving their Arcee supplies on the 12th. That's only tomorrow, so it won't be long before we all find out.

 

heck i dont get the line at all over here. at least you have a chance at getting the fembots

 

mine physically arrives at my house tomorrow!  

 

There was an online store called Beyond Morality Toys who had Chromia on pre-order for a great price, but since sent an email about personal/business troubles, so I'm wondering if I should cancel with them and hope to spot in-store soon.

 

Good, I was getting a bit nervous. Last wave and all, female characters in a boy's toyline who toy executives always underestimate, already getting reports of Combiner wave 1 hitting Singapore, I thought these two might end up in the hard-to-find category. Still might, I suppose. Hopefully Christmas shoppers will start clearing all those Rattraps and Tankors from the shelves around my Walmarts and the ladies will show up soon.

 

True, and I know It makes me sounds extremely inconsiderate but it's just frustrating how distribution has been as of late, it's just like Arcee will never stop having bad luck with getting releases look back to TFA Arcee.

 

With product flying off the shelf for Christmas hopefully we will see her soon
