That's so funny, I came here to post how, for me, my computer was as slow as a snail (couldn't even get past the address page) and then I tried it on my phone and it was smooth sailing. Glad to hear you got one!

Still don't have a confirmation email from HTS, but my PayPal was charged and I have a confirmation number, so I am hoping for the best. I won't uncross my fingers until I have a giant gorilla Transformer in my hands. Once that happens I will be cancelling my Amazon JP preorder.

^That is exactly what happened to me last time. if you didn't get the "Thank you for your order" screen, and then follow up e-mail it didn't go through. Even with an order number and my paypal charged last time it did not go through, after a week and a series of back and forth emails and calls to HTS customer service, my order was ultimately cancelled, and the charges reversed on Paypal.

However if you call HTS, they should be able place the order manually, but you'll have to do it by credit card, they cant do paypal over the phone.

When you looked in your account on the website, did you have a confirmation number on the website?

I purchased as a guest, but I did have an order number, and my paypal was "charged", until it was reversed a week later because the order did not go trhough because ogf a *glitch*. Today however I for sure got my "Thank you for your order" screen, and e-mail form HTS.

Who knows though, because you have the info on your account login, it may have worked...

I am calling HTS just to be sure.

Edit:

Half an hour later, I finally received my confirmation email, so hopefully I actually get my Throne!

I doublechecked with them after that point, and they did show the order as processed and they resent the confirmation email, so it looks like I have a Throne on the way. All Prime Masters acquired! And doubles from the Amazon exclusives means I am just short one more Prime Master to put in the Scepter. Seems kinda poopy they didn't make one more extra just for it to be complete while leaving the Wheel of Fortune Primes with one of every Prime Master.

There are enough unique Prime Master releases to fill all of the available slots, actually. The wheel only has 12 slots, not 13. The scepter has 4 slots. That's 16 slots total. The wheel can house the "normal" versions of all 12 Primes. The scepter can hold the "13th Prime" as well as the Special Edition clear plastic versions of Megatronus (from Blast Off), Solus Prime (from Repugnus), and Prima Prime (from Punch/Counterpunch).

I wouldn't mind having the special Prime Master figures that come with the Throne exclusive - but not enough to buy the figure itself. Pass.

Isn't there a slot to plug the 13th prime master and the center of the wheel? If not it's kind of fitting that the scepter will have the two primes that were lovers and the first and the last Prime.

I know I said no more HTS, but I figured I'd try again. I got in around 11am and was able to get one. I still have NOT gotten a confirmation email, although I did call and spoke to a Tiffany. She said an email was sent and checked the order number and said that the order was processed and sent to the warehouse. Who knows if I'll get the confirmation email before it ships, lol.. I did use a credit card this time instead of PayPal, which she says does make a difference, as PayPal takes you away from and then back to the site. I used PayPal last time and didn't get one. If you go to TRACK ORDER on the bottom of HTS and input your order number it should show the item. Last time it showed nothing but it did this time. YAY... -_- I'll keep my TT preorder on BBTS until I have it in hand though.

Nope! The "Wheel of Primes" is attached to the back of the throne. The majority of it is, in fact, obscured by the throne. You can only see the top four or five Prime Masters at any one time, meaning you need to rotate the wheel around like a roulette wheel to see the rest. A slot in the center of the wheel would be pointless, since it would always be hidden by the back of the throne. "The 13th Prime" comes attached to the Scepter of Primes in the box, so that's where Hasbro intends you to put it.

FYI: The Throne of the Primes is now marked as "Sold Out" on Hasbro Toy Shop! Good luck to everyone who gave it a second go at getting this figure!

Works for me! Like I said, it is kind of poetic that it has Megatronus and Solus (the two Lovers) and Prima and 13 (the first and the last Primes). I still would like a crystal version of the 13th Prime, but it isn't the end of the world. I likely won't store any of the Prime Masters in the Wheel very often anyway.

Finally got my confirmation email for throne. Talk about GAME OF THRONES lolol

Rodimus Unicronus all the way. He is the better mold overall of the 2, and his colors are much more appealing and his head sculpt rocks so hard

Well it took a while, but I finally got the confirmation email for the Throne of the Primes set. Which means that hopefully I'll be getting it soon. Especially since I really think they used a better color scheme for Primal in the Throne set than the retail version.

Also, it's nice to get those remaining Prime Masters.

If you really want it, don't let spite get in the way of saving you some money and getting your figure sooner. Hasbro Toy Shop is not going to be stuck with unsold Thrones out of fan protest. If you don't buy it, someone else will, until they are gone.

Getting it earlier, sure.
Getting it cheaper, no.

Sure, 10$ cheaper on Amazon japan is not the biggest discount, but thats still the price of deluxe figure for me, so every bit counts.

Ha I had it in my cart in HTS but couldn't stomach the $85 charge. Decided to PO it from Amazon JP to save $10. May still cancel it as I have no real desire for the figure.

What he said. The PotP Prime mold is lame. Even with the better color scheme and extra stuff, Nemesis Prime is only barely passable. I don't get why people are so obsessed with the figure and owning it ASAP. I kinda get TotP because of the Prime Masters, but the figure itself makes no sense without some canon backing it up. Just my opinion of course.

Both molds have their ups and downs but in different ways. UniRod is a tighter package in alt mode and NemmyP is more fun in bot mode and really uses the mold better than the standard release.

I do like Unicronus's origin better and his colors are cool. Nemesis is spot on for the character and I just love the evil Pax. NemRod is no slouch and and is dead sexy with the red windows and purple hightlights.

For me the extra's really put Nemesis over the top (especially the sword parrot that is currently posed on his shoulder) and I really wanted a Nemesis Prime in that size.

The evolution gimmick is equally fun in both, but maybe a little better used and more integrated feeling in Unicronus. Also NemPax's alt mode is kinda ass, but the battle trailer will all the extra weapons make up for it.

You can really go wrong with either. Depends on what you're looking for. Is both a viable answer? :flipacoin:


For the time I've given up on Thrones. I got sucked into the excitement the first time he went up for sale, but my interest has since cooled off. I didn't even bother this time and I'm going give it some time and think about it. Amazon.jp's pricing has me interested and there is always the fallback BBTS option (which I canned my pre-order with). I'd really like to complete the trifecta of black redecos but Thrones isn't an evil repaint and doesn't fit in with the others and all I really want is the PMs anyway.

Funny how this ends up becoming a similar pros and cons conversation we had at the very begining comparing Rodimus to Optimus Prime.

Same mold same **** I guess.

So the bottom line - which one is the better evil henchman to do you're dirty work and be your scapegoat?

EDIT: for me it's NemmyP

I don't have PotP Nemesis, so I'm biased.
