Could always pick up a prime master or some snacks to make free shipping.

True. I'm also probably the only weirdo in a fanbase of weirdoes who is army-building out of one of the worst Voyager-sized molds in recent years. Or so I'm told it is.

It's okay to like something that others don't. You don't need anyone's approval to collect what you enjoy. I think everyone has unpopular opinions about certain figures to some degree.

I know, but PotP Starscream seems universally reviled as 'the worst G1 seeker mold ever'.

Just paid £35 for the Walmart clones set delivered, sucks to be uk. Still a few TR figures to pick up but I'm getting there and at least POTP only has one paint scheme/not a lot of exclusives announced so far so it should help if/when I start to get them. Fingers crossed on not having to get three exclusives from three different retailers to complete pairings.

I just sent a customer service e-mail to HTS. There has to be a better way. There is no way to know if an item is in stock or not other than checking daily. Even if you log in, and put them in your "wish list" there is no notification that I am aware of... . (I just noticed the wave 1 prime masters were still on my list, I happened to purchase them in late Jan, but received no notification they were ever in stock...) If PotP Hun-Gurr appears before end of month, and I miss an opportunity to get it at 20% off, I'll be ticked...

Sometimes they will mark something as out of stock like they have with POTP Grimlock, but the way they have had Elita-1 & Hun-Gurr listed there for at least a week or two now without having them in stock, it's like they're teasing us. They need to have "Coming Soon" visible on the search screen before you click on them & add an email notification option to make that site a bit more consumer friendly.

I often order from KapowToys. They are slightly cheaper even with shipping than most Dutch shops. And they do have occasional great deals. I'm sure you know them

Starscream is now $14.31 on Amazon. Less than the price of a Deluxe, that's pretty crazy.

Now POTP Windcharger is $7.03 on Amazon, but he is an add-on item, which I think means you can't order him by himself, but you can add him to an order to get you to the $25 free shipping threshold. So if anyone out there wants Starscream, Windcharger, and a Prime Master, that should get you to the free shipping minimum if you don't have Prime....Amazon Prime that is.


Here is a link to the Windcharger listing:

I'll jump at $10 for SS lol

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Cyrano, we have word that Hasbro Toy Shop now has sought-after Power of the Primes Voyager class figures Elita-1 and Hun-Gurrr in-stock! We also reported a few days ago that HTS was having a sale of a 20% discount plus free shipping. Well, thanks to Cyrano's tip and our news story, we can report that the discount works on these two, making them just $20 each, and they'll ship free (though there is still sales tax)! If you've been hunting them in the wild, click on the pictures below to be taken to their individual pages and enjoy getting them from the comfort of your own home.

both elita and hun) look great

Heuuuuungh, now I finally comprehend the pain of Australian living. Even taking into account the addition of sales tax, that price comes out to less than a PotP Deluxe would cost me anywhere in this country.

(I usually try not to exclusively complain in my posts, but when I'm already really really excited to pick up Elita-1 and know I'll have to wait another couple months, every tiny jab hurts just that little bit more... )

My Elita-1 has black glossy feet, not peach! (And I had to pay €40 for both of these )

I wonder when the decision was made to change Elita Infin1te's feet from peach to black. I think she'd look better with the peach feet, tbh.

Wanna feel really frustrated? I literally found and bought these two figures at my local Walmart (2 miles away) not an hour before I saw them on HTS, and now I have to wait until they're shipped so I can decide on which of the figures to keep in package and which to return. The agony of choice....

Please don't kill me

How is it that HTS is already sold out of both?

Yeah, that didn't take long, did it? But that's not OOC for HasbroToyShop.com. Here today, gone tomorrow, back once everyone else has found one already....

Luckily, my minions found some in store, so we didn't get shut out from this quick depletion...

Everything on HTS seems like it's blink & you miss it, at least for Exclusives & the highly sought after new releases.

I really wish that Hasbro would run their own online store, rather than contracting through someone else. Kind of defeats the point of buying from "Hasbro Toy Shop" when you still aren't buying direct. I wonder if TRU going under might spur Hasbro and Mattel to launch outlet stores...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean I know TF fans are dedicated. But I really question how many of these they had if they all sold between 2-4am (PDT), which I know would be 5-7am EDT, but still...

I hate you HTS..........

ok so earlier when I checked they had everything PotP in stock except Elita-1 & Hun-Gurr. Now when I check they have nothing in stock for PotP. I mean I have all the ones I want so far except Hun-Gurr...but is it just HTS being glitch again, or are they really completely wiped out?

It's terrible how those sold out before 8am. Either they had very low inventory, or the scalpers cleaned up. Absolutely terrible either way.

Scalpers are obviously having a field day with these 2, HTS really needs to do back orders or something cause this is complete crap.

I want pink feet for my elita combiner. Mine came with black feet (tfsource) Can anyone confirm that the pink feet actually exist ? Or is that just the promotional art and the color got changed in production?
