Thanks to The Arker, we have in-package shots of the Transformers Animated Deluxes Arcee and Cybertronian Ratchet figures sporting Toys R Us store exclusive stickers. The fact that certain Animated figures are exclusives should not come as a surprise to anybody. Hasbro has said that they will try to get the figures out in any venue possible, and has left spreading the figures out as exclusives an open possibility. Downside is that you will have to hunt. Upside? You get new Animated figures! The figures are slated to drop in Spring 2010. <br />

AWESOME!!!!....wait... TRU exclusive?!?!? NnOOOOoooOOOooo!!!!! I havn't been able to get an exclusive since my local TRU closed!!! SOmeone PLEASE get me her get this (and Cyb Ratchet) when they come out state side!! I'll pay their value+ their shipping= and "incentive" Please?!?!

i cannot wait for these.

 

for some reason i ended up really disliking the deluxe earth mode ratchet. he looks good, i just don't like him. this one looks great, especially since we'll be getting an ironhide as well.

 

arcee looks great, but i was kinda hoping she'd have a more blurr looking body type, skinny waist, legs, etc. but oh well, at least we're getting her, and at least she looks vaguely G1.

this totally sucks. TRU Canada skips alot of hasblow exclusives and hasblow knows this. I dont expect TRU Canada to get these figures at all since the toyline has been canceled....by the slim chance (like 2%) that they do get them... they will be around twice the price of the non exclusive figs.

Ratchets alt mode reminds me of a turtle for some reason XD, on a side note Ill probably pick up this version of ratchet. Mostly because he 1 looks cool and 2nd his hands appear to have the standard sized hole for weapons.

This is good news indeed! Even if I cant find one in stores myself, I know I'll be able to get one online even if I have to pay a little more. I've been waiting for that Arcee, and I'd gladly pay more for it than retail rather than never having her at all. Well, as long as the price isn't INSANE!

Scalpers are going to have this on ebay at 3x the retail at least I bet and since scalpers normally clear out the whole stock. Good luck to anyone finding these in store. Not only thta. TRU in spain never get exclusives in. This is shit news IMO

i'm so glad that scalpers don't ruin toy hunting where i live.

 

you need to move to the WONDERFUL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! lol j/k

Will only buy arcee.

Luckily I have no scalpers where I am either, but as I said Europe doesn't tend to get TRU exclusives, although we DO have TRUs
