I got in yesterday, but I keep checking so I can tell all you guys.

Now to find a Unicronus in stores and to hope to get Throne of the Primes from HTS and I will have a completed Dark Leader Trinity.

sorry, all I could think of was Killer Croc's one line from Lego Batman... "I did something!" . But Bravo to all who wanted this toy and are able to get it. Hopefully soon Repugnus & Punch/Counterpunch will be revealed, those are the ones I want.

Damnit!

You can get a membership for $10.99 a month which probably isn't too far off what you would have paid for shipping without a membership. Either that or wait until Prime Day and hope they're available to everyone through the one-day free membership.

Got my Nemesis Prime! Also it gave me an option to download the app to get a $10 off coupon, so while I still have to wait until the 18th I got him for about $43 after tax! I'm really looking forward to him, this is going to be my first Nemesis besides the little Legends one from a few years back that came with Spinister.

Grrr, I missed Nemesis again. And I'm not a Prime member and don't do enough Amazon to really justify being a member.

Doesn't he qualify for the free shipping anyways?

I'm also hoping for the Throne of the Primes. I will go insane if I miss the final 4 Prime Masters, I need the 13! And the Trinity of the good and the bad Primes

Hope you enjoy nemesis because I want thanks to amazon deliveries **** screw up. You know what if being annoyed and angry at this gets me banned then ban me. Every **** time I preorder they do **** like this to me. I don't know how none of you have this issue

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian member westjames/notirish, we have word that Chefatron has uploaded a video review of the upcoming Transformers Power of the Primes Leader Class Nemesis Prime! Nemesis Prime is a retool of the Leader Class Optimus Prime figure with a wicked new headsculpt featuring some very wicked pointy design cues and a beautiful black color scheme. This form is the evolved form of Nemesis Pax, who also features a brand new headsculpt for the brand new character, and features a spiky mohawk and faceplate. The set also include a pair of arm cannons reminiscent of Armada Nemesis Prime, along with 2 new swords, one of which is based on the Dark Star Saber from Armada's Nemesis Prime, and another that is a brand new transforming targetmaster like bird named Giza.

This figure is in and out of availability on Amazon.com, so keep checking in on him, and hopefully you can snag one! And in case you are having issues, he is set to be properly released as part of Amazon Prime day on July 17.

You won't get banned for being annoyed or angry. Only if you break the rules enough times. What was the reason for Amazon doing that?

Question: do you guys think that the new style hands for the PoTP deluxe limbs would look better with only one thumb? Yeah, it would limit the figure to being a specific limb, but if it was screen or comic accurate, I think it would look better. Is it easy to pop off the extra thumb?

Another question: now that some time has passed, what is the consensus on PoTP Starscream? Is he a good representative of IDW Starscream?

Thanks to Seibertron members TrypticonCarne and Blacklai, we have 2 reviews for you today, both of them centering on the recently announced San Diego Comic Con exclusive Throne of the Primes set!

First up, we have a pictorial review of the set, courtesy of Blacklai, which features a nice comparison between the new Primal and the regular retail release Optimal Optimus. We also get a good look at the throne, including the details that even have the other 8 members of the Prime vote on the throne. We also get a video demonstration of the scepter and the ring of Prime Masters. And to top everything else off, we get a good look at the final 4 Prime Masters, completing the 13. You can go to Blacklai's page or click any of the images below to view all the images as well as all of Blacklai's thoughts.

And in case you needed some video to go with your review, Kevin Liu on YouTube has a video up reviewing the set, though it is not in English.

Check out all the content below, and let us know if this is indeed an exclusive that you plan to try hard to get!

He's not bad. I like the robot mode, even though I appear to be in the minority on that opinion, and the jet mode is kinda rubbish, but the combined mode is nice.

I like him as my Starscream in my display, but I am glad they decided not to do all the seekers using this mold

They claimed I refused to accept the delivery on something that hasn't shipped at all what's so ever. I CANT REFUSE SOMERHING YOU NEVER **** SENT, AND WHY WOULD I REFUSE SOMETHING I **** PAID FOR?

I no longer preorder from them. Because I preordered a thing. Then it take so long that I gforget it. Then I preorder again just to be sure. Months later, my credit card is charged double... then I get the thing twice.


Yeah, it's kinda my fault, but if would be nice if amazon prevented us when we double preorder a thing. I did the mistake TWICE. Once it was to late for return/refund and I'm now stuck with a sealed thing paid a fortune that is now worth nothing. The second time, I was quick to react and I could get a refund. But still....

. I am no mood for your bullshit right now

Whenever I order or pre-order something off Amazon I get a message on the product page telling me I already ordered it. Does Amazon Canada not do that?

Ease up mate, I don't mind you venting your frustration (and I'm completely on your side about it) but you don't need to take it out on other members.

Is it possible they went to the wrong place and spoke to someone else who refused it? That's the only thing I can think of. It's a seriously **** up and really flawed system if that happens.

Mine says it's ordered and will be shipped on the 6th and I'll receive it the 9th to 11th? Amazon Canada. Weird

I'll try not to. Just thought he was mocking me

Oh and update

Wonderful /s
I got an update that they know i didnt cancel it, it was a computer error caused by them sending it earlier than they meant to however they cannot fix it or resend the figure because any thing returned is put into a bin to be resold to sites like tophatter, and it's one per customer and i already bought it technically
In other words thanks to them **** up i may be permanently out of buying the figure

anybody else get the urge that if knew who is to blame for something like to happen to just wanna find them, and throttle their neck? But dusting is always relaxing and more productive i suppose,

So was it actually sent? That really is ****.

That may be a new feature. It may also work only for things that have already been paid, not for things awaiting payment.

They say it was and I cant prove otherwise
Let's hope no one else has this issue

I think it says you ordered it whether you paid for it or not. Pretty sure it told me I ordered a book that was on backorder for weeks. But yea, maybe it's just a US thing?

Gotta be honest. Even if I did get this Primal, that cardboard throne probably will go in the trash.
