Good news, friends! Generations Arcee and Chromia have arrived at US retail at last! This highly anticipated wave gives us a Generation 1 style Arcee along with an updated version of Chromia, whose appearance in the cartoon actually predates Arcee’s debut!
This report comes to you via Ruminus of our 2005 Boards, who has spotted them in a Walmart in Arizona. Further sightings by TFW2005 member MetalSamamon confirms the first sighting, along with a sighting in a different Walmart by Severen85.
The game is well and truly afoot! Here’s hoping a good quantity of both make it out before the 2015 reset of the Generations line occurs and the Combiner Wars break out!

This. People need to stick up for others with good intentions more. Now back on to topic.

Wow. flik68 was just trying to help. Not knowing a rule shouldn't be a reason to jump down someone's throat or be rude. This is a community.
Please direct him towards the proper place to post information if he's incorrect. Man this place is ridiculous sometimes.
flik68
well then have a mod delete it. I don't care I was just trying to get the word out.
Nevermore
No it isn't.
Robot Kingdom got Arcee in stock weeks ago, as did an Amazon FBA seller, and there have been multiple brick and mortar sightings at US retail.
flik68
well its the first in stock listing so I figured it was ok.

Arcee in Stock at BBTS
just thought I would let everyone know if you are looking for a arcee they are now out.

So angry. You were complaining about the rise in costs among specific price points. I was saying an average increase of $5 over nearly 20 years was pretty good, chief.
Anywho, I found Arcee in MD today! Totally worth the $16.99 someone in another state would pay.
Mirimus
Huh. Guess my region is expensive…deluxe class is $15 at Walmart & Target; $18 at Kmart.

And deluxes today are far tinier than Armada deluxes… what's your point? Voyagers might be slightly larger, but they took the place of the Mega size class. I didn't ask for Megas to be bigger, that's what Ultras are for. So with that and the smaller Deluxes, size isn't a valid argument… which I have no desire to get into. You're the one who came in trying to "correct" shit.

Today's Voyagers are somewhere between ye olde Mega and Ultra. If you want an argument at least be accurate. Springer, Sandstorm, Whirl, Sky-bite, Roadbuster, and Brainstorm are all far larger than any Mega ever was. What became Voyagers were, on average, at least $19.99. Deluxes were $9.99 not $8.99.I was working retail at the time.
In Pennsylvania and Maryland both Generations and AoE Voyagers are $19.99 @ Wal Mart. AoE Voyagers are $19.99 @ Target and Generations are $24.99. Even TRU'S Voyagers are $24.99. HTS Voyagers are $19.99 and $24.99.
AoE Deluxes are $9.99 @ Target and Wal Mart. Your region might just be expensive.
This is officially the dumbest argument I've ever had.

Exactly, so why even bother hyping up the fans if you're just going to cancel or short pack it?
The Voyager class is today's Mega, and even though Armada Scavanger was neither Mega nor Voyager, he is the same size as Voyager class figures and the price tag on the box I have says 14.99. Deluxes are 16.99 all across Nashville. If you're going to apply coupons to modern prices then apply it to past prices as well, otherwise you're making a biased statement. So $14.99 verses 8.99 is still quite a difference. Voyagers here fluctuate between $22-25.

I don't think Voyagers were $15 at any point; you're probably thinking of the defunct Mega size class. Also, Deluxes are $14.99 at most chains, and can be had for less with coupons and sales. Voyagers also vary in price. Wal Mart has movie and Generations Voyagers for $19.99 right now, and HTS does as well.
The Deluxe price point started in 1996 though. I'd say an increase of $5 over almost 20 years is pretty reasonable!
