If I pre-order it will be from Robot Kingdom, or if they get it, Automaton.

I want one, but I want to see a review first...

It's a real shame for the price, I might as well fork over the cash and get that third party Megatron.

Lordy - $90 Deluxes? Is this the 2012 pricing we can expect for 3rd party figs? FP gave us deluxe insecticons for $50.

I like these, but I don't like them $90 worth. Pass at this price.

I want to ask why everyone won't stop buying these kinds of things at $90 so the 3rd party companies drop their prices to something reasonable... $90?!!?!?!?!?! Good Lord.
:(

As others have noted $90 for a deluxe is a bit steep considering other third party prices (Hercules figs, for example, which were much larger and bulkier).

I'm sure the articulation adds to the cost, but the cost is fairly unfortunate.

That said, isn't the cost in line with what other not-arcees have cost in the past?

It looks like a great figure but it's not "arcee" enough to make me buy it immediately at that price. As with my present impossible toys arcee I may wait if initial sales are lacklustre and see if I can get it at a discount.

not getting this now, not worth the price for a KO/fake transformers deluxe figure as my wife would say.

On my want list, but the price quickly got me to scratched it out. The Prime Arcee is close enough that i can skip this. Maybe if it ever goes on clearance. But until then, oh well, not a must have.

When the early pictures were released someone probably posted "I'd buy that as long as it's slightly less than $100" so PE set their price accordingly.

Why do we keep tipping our hands? :banghead:

Too rich for my blood, just like the rest of PE's stuff. Easy pass.

But why?

It looks NOTHING like either G1 or TFP Arcee.

Agree with this so long as Hastak creates / created something similar.
Arcee - Yeah TFP Arcee is awesome and I'm good to go with that rather than PE Arcee

Scouting Force X - Hastak has got nothing remotely similar out, so, for me SFX was ok for $90 for 3 tiny figures.

I do like the "Chromia" version. However, this will probably be something I pick up down the line.

The Delicate Warrior is still the best G1/Classics Arcee IMHO

And she's only 109.50. Expensive, but not that much more than the PE version.

Is it bad that I hope not too many ppl buy this? Not boycott it, but send them a message that 90 for a deluxe is pretty steep and we collectors won't mindlessly buy their stuff at whatever price they set it at.

Man I was hoping for $60 max for this. That stinks.

Re: Perfect Effect PE-DX 01 RC Up For Preorder and New Pics on BBTS
 
I was willing to pay $100 each for Hercules because they were Voyager size and because they also combined. And I still thought that was too expensive.

Arcee is nifty, but I don't understand why the cost is so high. Then again, that was the problem I had with iGear's not-Ratchet and not-Ironhide.

And that was why I passed on them. And why I'll pass on this.

PE stuff always seems to be on the higher end of the scale..

Good point about Delicate Warrior only being a little bit more..

I love PerfectEffect's products. Everything I have is awesome, but they've always been a bit pricey. I was somehow more okay with paying a bit more for smaller figures but the cost on this rubs me all kind of the wrong way.

Wow nice but I'm not sure $90 nice.
