Ditto, but I cant say likewise for the price on eBay.
Guess I'll have pass this up somehow.
I hope so too but then again I guess it probably would not be fair to the fellow collectors who paid "ransom" for it.

According to eBay Sellers only 1000 of them were made and it sold out in less than 2 hours. That is amazing. And that is why it is so hard to find one. Basically, you have to be willing to spend a good deal of money to get this toy. Is it worth it? Well, it depends on what kind of collector you are.

Release this repaint in retail and I'll buy it.
jazz4ever

I still kind of want it. I know I won't be able to afford it, but i actually would like one of these.

I'm mostly completist…but I'm glad I gave this a pass.

The original Arcee was based on the conceptual drawings for the movie, when she was still intended to be a character. And none of the movie characters were replicas of their G1 forms, so she wouldn't have been G1 pink and white anyway. Hardly screwing up intentionally just to make money off of repaints.

^ so we'll buy her pink repaint. Theyll goof it up on purpose, so they can paint it again as a premium.
They've already earned a good grand for the purple bike, now they can extend it's use

Considering that she didn't appear in the movie, I'll never understand why we didn't just get her in pink.

IMO it looks fantastic, but I already liked the mold.
I wish I could find it for a "decent" price.

Fit For natalie
For a slender robot mode without resorting to a skinny chick inside a shellformer vehicle like Cybertron Thunderblast and Titanium Arcee were.
Laser_Optimus
Yes, she's one awesome little figure.

lol….ya I was thinking the scout one, but these damm motorcycles just wont stop! I like bikes but why is Arcee always one?
Lupis Convoy
I think so far it's:
American Release Arcee
Japanese Release Arcee
Battle Damage Arcee
Black Arcee
G1 WFW Arcee
I could be wrong though.
Backstop, are you thinking of the Scout sized one? I think that's been used 8 times now.

I am curious how this mold has not been destroyed after all the times it has been used? Man how many Arcee Motorcycle repaints is there!!!
MoonRacer Prime
She`s fantastic and I will get one if I can. This mold is by far my favorite from the movie toys. Of course I want an Animated, Classics or even a Masterpiece Arcee. So I might be a bit biased.
Lupis Convoy
Cost effective wise it's the best thing they can do. It costs a LOT to alter a mold. Also, if I remember correctly, Hasbro can only use these molds for so long based on their contracts with the Vehicle companies. It lends to reason that Tak/Tomy might be under the same restraints.

Right now it only seems to link to a bigger version of the thumbnail.
Really wish this one was getting a domestic release, or at least Black Arcee. Will have to settle for a less expensive piece like Black Arcee instead (but at least, that means one Allspark for me).
Gears
I wish I had one of those. Looks nice.
