Her official post-HasCon sale date is September 20th:

https://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-c3542as00

Hasbro is limiting her to two toys per household. Note that Hasbro has misspelled the name of their own convention (they embarrassingly refer to her on the website as a "HsaCon" [sic] exclusive) so she will NOT turn up in a keyword search for HasCon.

Yeah, they fixed that now.

Dang, I was sure that one was going to be a fan club exclusive. But I guess that's dependent on there being a fan club in the first place.

There is always the chance the Hascon exclusives might make it to clearance or discount outlets such as Ollie's like SDCC MP Grimlock did. It's probably guaranteed to happen now that I no longer live near an Ollie's.

I would say it's a possibility if Hasbro can't sell off the remaining stock through their web site in a timely manner. Something tells me Arcee will sell out fast, though.

I've been trying it all day from 6am PST to the present and haven't seen
anything on that page allowing me to purchase it. Unless it all went
down before 6...?

Apparently she was live for about an hour early this morning before she sold out. And then Hasbro sent me an e-mail at 9:00 that she was up for sale.

Of course, I was at work. Because some of us work for a living.

To say I'm disappointed would be a significant understatement.

It was probably on goddamn Rhode Island time.

Oh well, I wasn't a huge fan of this toy. It was just a very cheapo
recolor and the previous Arcee toy was better.

I'm trying to maintain some perspective. Hasbro's always got us chasing the next toy release, to the point where you almost never appreciate what you have... only what you have yet to acquire. I just got Misfire and Twin Twist and they're delightful. I've finally got Six Shot coming in the mail, most likely tomorrow, and I've pined for him for many months. (When I open the package, it will be the first time I've ever seen the toy in person!)

Arcee's just a pink Blurr toy. Generations Arcee is definitely the superior representation of the character. For me, personally, a Headmaster toy of Arcee has been something of a holy grail since 1987. I really, truly, sincerely believed that "The Rebirth" was advertising a toy version of her and I was so disappointed when there was no sign of her in the toy catalogs.

I am one hundred percent certain I'll own this toy some day. Hasbro may yet make her available through other channels, and if not, there's always the secondary market.

They most definitely operate on eastern time. I've found that if you're on the west coast like me, the best routine is waking up and checking every hour on the hour from 4 to 7 am. And foregoing not going to work or getting your kids ready for school or any of the normal routine things one must do on weekdays helps, too.

You should get another shot, if you have TRUs nearby....

That's good news. October 5th is a Thursday, though. Guess I'm calling in sick or something that day, so I actually have a shot this time.

I loaded the page on my phone, and just checked every 30-45 minutes
while I was at work. Got her ordered, but haven't got a shipping notice
yet.

Even if Arcee is farmed out to any brick-and-mortars, I have no doubt AT
ALL that I will never see her in one.
