I altered the link. Try that one.

What's weird...I tried searching for Novastar in Toys and Games, and she doesn't show up in the search results...

Very weird, it redirects us to our national amazon pages where the item doesnt exist.

Does the edited link do the same thing? Maybe it's geo-locked...

Yup, what will said. Your browser is redirecting you towards your country's amazon page.

You'd have to force your browser to open the us amazon site.

The link works for me fine.

For those of you having trouble, what happens when you click on this direct link to her listing?

That's really weird, somehow Amazon is automatically updating the links from what I have setup in my programming to convert Amazon links to Seibertron.com's affiliate link.

If you hover over the link, you'll notice that it is different in the bottom left hand corner than if you copy the link address by right mouse clicking on it in Chrome. Hm ...

In the link I posted it, if you hover over the link, it shows

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Primes-Autobot-Novastar/dp/B0779ZZVM5/?tag=seibertron07-20

but somehow it is rewriting the actual destination link to a geo-located domain of Amazon that I've never seen before.

Urgh.

Yeah, as you wrote, this is indeed what I get:

It looks like you're fighting a losing battle with differences in browsers and each one's cookie handling and location services.

Edit: and probably DNS prefetching

Can you guys confirm that the links are working now? I found the culprit amazon javascript file that I had included at some point that was re-writing URLs. It was probably supposed to be for people who don't know how to rewrite URLs altogether like I do (and probably is better for things that I'm not thinking of, but considering that I don't want Amazon taking you to your local Amazon website because I have no idea whether or not those items are in stock, I think it's better that Amazon isn't overwriting my programming. All should be well now. Please confirm. Thanks!

It works fine now

Looks like the rest of the deluxe Terrorcons will soon be available on HTS! They're at the stage where they've posted them, but they're not actually available yet. But that usually means they'll be available in a week or so. Keep the pages bookmarked!

Studio series Ironhide is also up for ordering, with a shipping date of 9-28-18

There’s also a promo to save 15% if you order three items with the code TRIFECTA

Useful if you’re missing those three

I think this is pretty unprecedented for HTS. The vast majority of an entire TF line all available and in-stock all at the same time.

Yup. Sadly, the POWERUP code for 15% off transformers does NOT work with either

Nope, their codes (even the special 20% off one they sent me for messing up my last order) doesn't work on anything beyond wave 1...which makes it useless to me.

This definitely signifies a change to me. HTS was a late stocking secondary source, but now it looks like they are experimenting with it being a primary source. A lot of "excluded from promotions" going on now.

Predaking has never been available for the codes, and it seems that the wave 2 stuff, seeing as how rare it has been, has been excluded as well. When I got the wave 3 Prime masters with Predaking, the code at the time worked on them
