We got a listing on Hasbro Toyshop that confirms that Titans Return Arcee Will Be Available On September 20th.
The figure was offered at Hascon as an “early release”, but the listing here confirms that the figure will be available to order on 9/20/17 but remember that it is limited to 2 per household. The set includes Arcee, her Titan Master Daniel / Leinad, and an extra Titan Master Ultra Magnus.
You can check the stock pictures after the jump and then share your thoughts at the 2005 Boards!

The issues with this:
1) Someone has to put the bell on the cat.
2) The more people who drop out of the service, the fewer potential sellers we'll have.
3) If you're a buyer, you don't get first pick if there's a particular figure that's popular.
If these prices are the trend for a potential Hasbro TF Series, I would likely be one of the people who signed up and would sell the figure at cost + shipping if I didn't want it.

That's a pretty good reason to not sign up at all in first place. *cough* Matty Collector *cough*

Yes.

From TRU?

Purchased mine via Paypal on Sunday morning; and after two "delayed e-mails", it shipped this morning.
For what it's worth…

In some cases maybe, especially given a certain amount of scum on eBay, but here it proved to have a flaw in the policy, and given how many people didn't get their orders cancelled it's a flaw that other credit cards and bank accounts did not have.
My issue anyway is that while TRU is not without some blame, but they are not completely to blame, and that people shouldn't forget that the common denominator for the cancellations was Paypal and only Paypal.

It's actually a good policy, and it's probably out lined in the terms and conditions.
GizmoTron
Still though, you can't blame TRU for everything. Paypal should really also keep customers informed that they have such policies, and they shouldn't get a free pass here when a lot of people just got screwed by their flawed policy.

The TF community has indeed been very helpful in helping us all better understand the TRU order cancellation issue.
Too bad all of the good stuff is sold out for the buy 2 get 1 free sale. I couldn't even find one TF item in stock to choose for my free item that I didn't already have. I'll probably just leave my order cancelled and skip TR Arcee altogether.

Regardless of whether or not PayPal sets the 30-day pre-order window limitation, it seems like basic common sense that TRU would either:
1. Not allow use of PayPal for pre-orders more than 30 days out.
2. Require pre-payment of pre-orders for customers who insist on using PayPal.
If not, then the TRU system should at least notify customers of the PayPal limitation when they order, and provide them email notice when the 30-day window is closing, so they can update their order payment preferences if desired.
Because the TRU system does none of these things, good customers are being kicked to the curb with this unnecessary order cancellation nonsense.

I didn’t use Paypal and both of my seperate orders were canceled. As for new orders being canceled, there are reports of it here.

Indeed. That said, I'll be using my credit card to order him and not PayPal !

Actually, I've seen quite a few folks who didn't use PayPal report that their orders were never cancelled at all, and this is the first report I've seen yet about orders being cancelled after re-ordering.
I don't mean to suggest that anyone who is reporting their own experience is misrepresenting themselves, but I do want to suggest caution before suggesting widespread problems, and especially before suggesting that Grotusque (which isn't even up for preorder yet) will experience anything similar.
Blackdragon27
I got this as well

Just to let you and everyone else know. TRU canceled everyones orders do to what was thought to be a Paypal error(but not everybody ordered through Paypal.) A lot of people just went back and ordered it again, but now those orders are being canceled as well. Expect the same bullshit with Grotedque if they put him up.

Hey all, so I was able to grab my Arcee's off of Hasbrotoyshop, so I haven't been following the TRU process closely. I did miss the window on Grotusque however, so I wanted to check and see if I could understand the timeline, expecting Grotusque to proceed at about the same pace. Am I right in understanding that it was about 2 months after the HTS sale that TRU did preorders? And just now it's starting to process and ship?
AutobotSeeker81
I hope Yours does process. I just got another delayed item email.
geekatron prime
Just got a confirmation email from TRU.com that TR Arcee is being processed.
AutobotSeeker81
Well yesterday I got the order delayed email after I re ordered. Now today I got a new order confirmation email. It starting to sound like the orders are being processed.
GizmoTron
By that reasoning Paypal shouldn't have an automatic 30-day fund window placed on a preorder purchase in the first place, as a lot of things can have more than 30 days for a preorder window or could be potentially delayed.
