    Spotted loads of Ratchet figures but no Arcees. Anyone else finding them yet?

    Thank you. That's all I was really asking.

    Questions aren't news. Moving to TF Toy Discussion.

    And around here, there was an initial wave that was quickly scooped up. I got the last Ratchet at a TRU, then nothing for three weeks. Then the store restocked with more and I snagged Arcee. Just be vigilant, watch your local sightings thread, and good luck!

    I tend to watch the main page and didn't see the usual "TRU Arcee and Ratchet spotted at retail thread." Unless I missed it.

    Still no Arcee. Did see a couple of Ratchet but I don't want him.

    I've spotted a restocking of the assortment three times at the TRU in my town. Only seen one Arcee on the pegs, otherwise it's always been two or three Ratchets.

    I hear you. And you're not the only one having trouble finding them on the pegs.

    I've seen the Ratchets but the Toys-R-Us stores that I have been to have been cleaned out of the Arcee figures. You've have better luck with lottery scratch off tickets than you do of finding a Toys-R-Us that the scalpers haven't hit for Arcee.

    I just saw a bunch at my local Toyrus. I grabbed three Arcee. One for myself and two for board member here.

    So far 3 stores have had the Arcee's in the overhead storage.


    Probably Scalpers but it could be employees.

    I found one today at the Times Square TRU. It seems that the scalpers are going after Arcee more than Ratchet.

    My TrU's in Vegas aren't even buying into Animated toys--they haven't restocked in any form at three locations for months. Good news there is, it means I haven't missed any. Problem is, if they wait any longer, they may not get any as the time might pass them up. I certainly hope I don't miss out on this one--I outright refuse to pay scalper prices. (I never did get Alt Nemesis Prime, even though I really wanted one--just a little worried this might turn out the same...)

    It's common toy-collector knowledge that toys of females in generally "boys" lines are rare, and more often than not, shortpacked.

    Scalpers have ALWAYS jumped at toys of female characters.
