    If I can come up with $100 to spare, I'll pick one up. I just can't swing it right now. Not with all the official Hasbro stuff coming out that I want to buy.

    I like it, and maybe I'll get one. I'll have to see about some smaller wheels to put on it though.

    That price, what a rip off! Some of these 3rd party manufacturers are practically stealing from us.

    Has/Tak... just go ahead and make an official one already!!!

    An extra $20 for a better looking version of a toy I already paid too much for, and still want...

    It's quite an improvement over the IT Arcee. The pegs on the guns look thicker and less fragile than the Valkyrie's toothpicks.

    So many vehicle Arcee out there.
    Has/Tak better work on some alien form Arcee to stand out from the crowd.

    Love to get this if it's available in comic shops or conventions. Such a nicely designed toy. Hasbro take notice!

    Same here. Animated Arcee is far superior to any of these. Seriously, what's the point of even having a G1 Arcee that can't even fit in with the toys? I'd like to see someone try and actually use a little creativity and make a Generations styled one.

    You know, I just realized: this is the first peice of Transformers news to get me to write in a thread in months.

    Not sure if that says more about my feelings towards where the franchise is headed than the merit of this story, but I just felt like pointing that out.

    I think this looks better than the Impossible Toys Arcee. If money were no object, this would look great standing beside Fansproject City Commander and Warbot Defender, along with Classics Rodimus. Now if we could only get a decent Kup.

    I think it looks good... but $100 is a little steep. If it were $49.99, i might pick it up.

    Yep guess I am, I understand that time is money and don't expect to have stuff given to me for next to nothing. What's wrong with the price? They have to cover costs of making molds/materials/their time. Mabey factor these things in next time before you go spouting off that you are being ripped off.

    I gotta ask, if i havent done it already, what is stopping Hasbro from releasing their own version of G1 Arcee? Sure we have BW, movies, Animated and an upcoming Prime toy. But not a proper G1 arcee. And its obviously than people will buy an official Arcee if it gets released and its a good mold. If 3rd Party companies can design a very well balance, toon accurate and transformable Arcee toy, I am more than sure than Hasbro fellas can do it too.
    So i ask again: why they arent making one? :( 

    Ok, now to the topic: I really like how this "Delicate" Arcee looks. ^^ It sure looks more balanced than IT Valkirie and..yeh, lacks the big hips but it still a good mold. The transformation, joints and paintjob sure look nicer too.
    I do admit than 400 pesos is a bit much for a Deluxe toy..if it is one but, i guess thats fair for a 3rd party product. Damn, even the guns look better than the Valkirie's ones. XD
    So yeh, i am liking this one. Thanks for the heads up!

    Looks better than the IT one, but then again, at first, the IT one looked pretty good.

    And the price on this one is a bit much. Maybe if it ever hits some sales on the sites I frequent. Otherwise, it's an easy pass.

    I'd like to see her next to Defender for a comparison.
