After getting Optimus and Megatron I had to stop. They are just freakin' huge. They are great though.

Same here. I have this whole line minus Nemesis Prime. I'm running out of space and these things are big and heavy. I want to continue this line, but I may need to make some changes in order to do that.

I have a hard time letting go of stuff. I dont buy to sell later so I need to be sure I really like the piece before POing. I only sold one piece so far. There's just so much moving around before it starts looking crowded and the display looking out of place.

I mean she's hardly a chart-topper in terms of popularity and she didn't do many memorable things in the G1 cartoon.
I would have imagined that when announcing a new statue line a company would want to start with a bang by releasing the most exciting characters of which Arcee is not.

Happy to see the line still going.

Yeah, this line's like... ~7 years old. 12 statues deep (Galvatron goes up for PO today).

XM about to get me to order again, been a while since I haven't really wanted much for a while from any company. But this Arcee I need.

Probably the only one we’re ever going to get at this rate.

Yeah, I'm the same as you. I had a feeling this line would be large when I got Optimus. I had waited till he was almost sold out as I was considering the space requirements for this line. In the end, I realized that they were the best representations I'd ever get of G1 (for me) with the perfect balance of original design and details.

I want space between my pieces and I don't like a cluttered look, so I've done my best to keep my collection focused on specific lines and sizes.

This is great news. I personally think the Transformers Line are easily XM's Best Work.

I wasn't expecting Arcee. Thought the last one would be Shockwave.

More of a Decepticon Fan but eager to see how this one turns out.

I thought Shockwave would be one of the last. Goes to show that low edition sizes doesn't necessarily mean a line isn't profitable.

The reality is Decepticons have more variety in their designs. I don't think they would be able to sell the majority of Autobots as single pieces (they complained about Bumblebee's sales numbers). They may be able to get a decent number of sales by consolidating two or three cars into one piece.

I will keep an eye on this one
