I still don't quite get Hasbro's strategy. I guess now we know they wanted to do 3 exclusives basing one on each of the previous lines
Blast Off representing CW (though he comes with Prime Armor and a Prime that's already getting a release..?)
Repugnus representing TR (comes with a TM, makes sense...)
and Punch/Counterpunch representing PotP (coming with Solus, a new exclusive Prime)
So...What does Leader Nemesis Prime represent? Deluxe Wreck-Gar? or are these just "more" exclusives? Also...how are Amalgamous and Nexus going to be released?
Part of me still hopes the 4 remaining Primes that don't have pretenders will still get a standard release, but it doesn't seem likely at this point.

blackeyedprime wrote:nice that he has a new toy but still an easy pass when the old figure is usually findable cheaper, has electronics, fires missiles plus all of it's modes so the play value is comparable. Hope it sells well all the same, might get more beast wars stuff but figures that don't have all their modes isn't something I want to see in any line with todays standards.

gothsaurus wrote:thanks for the tip, Brokebot. Guessing that may be a situation where buying three and selling two to help pay for shipping might be the option.
(Or waiting for them to hit another retailer or ebay.)

They've always been that way from what I can tell. It's nice that because of their location they can offer cheaper retail price, but the shipping costs to North America more than negate any perceived discount. The only time I've ordered something from RK was only on one occasion when I absolutely knew I could not get it anywhere else for a decent price.

I live in the Chicago area and found the wave 2 legends and deluxes at Walmart when they were first being reported as out (Jan/Feb?). I travel a bit for work and was fortunate to find the prime masters in southeast Michigan at a Target in March, and found Rodimus Unicronus at a Walmart in Shreveport, LA the same month. I haven't seen any of them a second time until just recently seeing an Alpha Trion prime master at Walmart this week.
Any way you look at it, something weird happened with Wave 2. There is no way they ran a normal production run and sold them all out that quickly, unless one (or more) of the retailers has a giant supply in a warehouse waiting for all the wave 1 shelf warmers to be bought, which I highly doubt.
That is why I'm glad I jumped on the BBTS preorder for everything I want from wave 3 at just slightly above retail and super cheap shipping (except for Monkey Prime). If I do luck out and find them in stores, I'll just cancel the preorder. Monkey Prime I'll hope to find in stores, but if not, I'm okay with skipping him.

mordhelm wrote:Sorry to bring this topic back up, but does anyone know where wave 2 deluxes and voyagers actually went?
I see the usual 3rd party amazon sellers have then for double to triple price.
I never saw them in any NW ohio store, and they appeared once at various stores in SE michigan, then huge restocks of wave 1. I snagged them when I saw them, so I am not concerned for myself, but something is definitely weird this time around.
This has never happened with an early Generations wave before to me.
I wonder if anyone could press on the hasbro guys at SDCC as to what the difference is, especially since a lot of the local store shelves are empty of generations figures.

A little fanmodding really can go a long way to improve an uninteresting altmode:

People want the last monsterbot. Here is is. People want punch/counterpunch okay here you go. We have an Optimus Prime and need to get use of the mold so here’s your black retool. We’ve got the groove mold so let’s make another wreck-gar. That’s all it is. If it wasnything else it’d have a tag line like “Prime Wars Trilogy!” On the packaging

I'll give you Blast Off, but what did Vortex do to piss you off?
gothsaurus wrote:Really appreciate the detailed ideas here, O.Supreme. Like you, I've been pondering and losing sleep over how to pair up all the limbs and deal with the leftovers. Hadn't thought of it with your exact perspective, so very cool.
Chime in if anyone else has a really good way of pairing up limbs and/or finishing out incomplete torsos.
And like you, I'm waiting in hopes they round out the three POTP torsos with some limbs in next line.
