TFW2005 sponsor BigBadToyStore has posted preorders for the Impossible Toys’ lastest offerings, TRNS-01 Valkyrie and TRNS-02 Medic. These are G1-styled homages of the unproduced Arcee character and her animation design reuse, the Paradron Medic. Preorder pricing is $69.99 each or $134.99 for a set of both! Both of these listings are scheduled for release this month.

The only reason Ebay would get flooded with Animated Arcee's is because they've been showing up a lot more in stores lately. The Ebay price is almost down to the retail price.

I'd say I'm underwhelmed at first blush. I'll need the exacto and tiny screwdriver, shave off some flash. I'll not be messing with the paint. I'd only make the brush strokes worse.

As far as I know, BBTS does not have this as an exclusive. They just got the first run of something. So I'm sure other online shops will get them eventually.
Tirade
I doubt you will see eBay flooded with even more animated Arcees. The recent reviews and pics on the Impossible Toys Arcee are not good. I know I am far from impressed.

is this a bbts exclusive? no one else has it? so i cant compare prices to see who has the best offers. i hate to have to buy from 1 website and pay whatever they want to charge. get my drift here?
BTW would anyone not buy or get rid of thier animated arcee, now that this one is beibg release? as for me i wont be getting animated arcee now, since i like this one better. so maybe now we will see alot of animated arcees flooding ebay?

I am glad that I cancelled my pre-ordered in favor of the Seacons gift set.
Bgrngod
Hrm. That ain't good. Guess it's good I canceled my pre-order they day they showed up (Snuck in before they started to process and remove them).
Sounds like this may be a fixer-upper right out of the box.

Well crap. Guess I'm going to have to repaint. Wish i had waited for a sale instead of preordering.

check the expiration date, if you got a new card recently, you may have to update.

Mine's just sitting in pre-order land….maybe there's multiple batches expected?

I got my pre-order email also. Mine is in paid status awaiting shipping.
DavidLoPan
BBTS just emailed saying my pre-order is now available. Only my card is being declined for some reason. There's nothing wrong with my card…just checked. Has anyone's payment been cleared?
Jarodimus
^ Gotcha. That sheds additional light onto the conversation I had.
Venksta
There is also a reason why no other online retailer has the two figures up for preorder.
Jarodimus
Good to hear. Sounds like the person who talked to me may not be communicating well with IT for one reason or another.
Venksta
Based on what I know from Impossible Toys, the preorders went up after BBTS got the info from IT themselves.
Jarodimus
At BotCon, I was told that BBTS's release date — and possibly even the price — may be incorrect. I won't name this person, but he's someone who would know these things. He said he was told recently by Impossible Toys that they hadn't provided BBTS a date or price yet.
A bit concerning, that.
Foster
Nope, nothing heard as far as news, or filling of my preorders.

Anyone heard anything on this? Seeing as how we've seen boxed pieces a while back, I expected preorders to be in by now.
