HOLD UP! Repugnus's Amazon listing is back! It has the images we saw earlier.

Interestingly enough, the other 2 exclusive bots don't have their listings up, but now we know to keep an even sharper eye on them!

Maybe they will be up soon. I wonder if they will be released around the same time or different dates :-?

I was able to place an order even though it said temporarily out of stock. It's in my cart.

EDIT, Got a confirmation email from Amazon with order number

Will do!

(Here's the link Amazon has for me in my profile. I'll still post when I see it up)

I was able to place an order for Repugnus as well. He was one penny below the free delivery threshold at $24.99, so I had to order another item (I'm sure Amazon does this on purpose). I'm guessing all the exclusives will be available at different times at this price point to ensure we all have to keep ordering extra items along with them to get the free shipping.

Oh well, enough of my complaining. Glad to snag this preorder. Thanks to everyone on this forum for alerting me & everyone else!

Annoyingly I'm not finding any UK listings for these at all, aside from nem, which still appears to be the same everytime I check him. Hasbro/Amazon why don't you want the UK's money!

Whoever said POTP flies off the shelves had no idea what they were talking about

I agree. They cant fly off shelves if they aren't there to begin with. :-P

. Seriously though, yeah I've seen Hun-Gurr & Elita maybe 2 times (thankfully I got one each time). That single pic of yours represents more PotP Wave 2 Voyagers than I've seen at 30 retail stores in a major metropolitan U.S. city, again, poor distribution.

Haha! Yeah, once again, cant argue with that.

Just curious though, you dont have like a dozen Dreadwinds just sitting on your shelves?

I don't, surprisingly. At my local Walmart, I've got the W3 Deluxes with some W1 stragglers, along with the W2 Legends. Target's a lot worse, though, as they've got the W3 Legends, some W1 Deluxes, and a mountain of TLK W1 stuff that finally went on clearance yesterday.

As always, they don't ship to Mexico...why do I even bother to check? >:oP

Got the pug coming too. Wish P/CP was up first but save the best for last.

Mostly no...In the last 2 weeks, there was one Walmart that did get like 3 cases of Deluxe wave 1, and I thought to myself -oh crap, that's gonna sit forever-, another Walmart has a TON of Studio Series Voyager & Deluxe, but virtually no PotP, and a 3rd store has had a single Swoop & Ripersnapper for like over a month, a few studio series, and nothing else.

I try to check the more outlying stores, but most of them are pretty sparse, maybe 3-4 deluxes on average, all from wave 1, and the selection of what remains of that stock seems to be pretty even.

In one odd twist, I came back to a Walmart that had got one wave 3 case of Inferno and Grimlock. When I came back a week or so later, Grimlock was gone, and Inferno was still there. I don't mention all these stores by name, because mostly nobody cares, but I do report sightings of anything significant.

Just for the record, Now that the 4 Toys R Us in my area are gone, pretty much my only options are Walmart and Target (aside form the occasional Marshalls or TJ Maxx sighting)

Here are 2 maps. The first shows all the Targets in about a 12 mile circumference from my home and the second map shows all the Walmarts, granted 3 of these are probably grocery only, but you get the idea of the selection I have. Still with all that, WJ's single TRU pic has more product than I'd say most of these stores combined.

Question for those who know things. Nemesis Prime, does he come with a collectors trading card?

I did not see one when I opened him. Maybe it fell out, but I don't see one anywhere near where I opened him either.

Mine doesn't have one either and I asked someone else and they didn't remember seeing one. How odd and annoying.

Well I guess it's extra accessories or a card. They made the better choice.

Yay! I was also able to order Prime Wars Trilogy Repugnus from Amazon. While I was at it, I took the opportunity to sign up for the "free" 30 day Amazon Prime trial in case Nemesis Prime becomes available again sometime soon. I checked the link provided several pages back, but there was still no "add to cart" option, despite now being a "Prime Member." Funny how both the listings for Nemesis and Repugnus both say "out of stock," but the former won't let me add anything to the cart and the latter will.

UPDATE!

I used the “email when in stock” option and Amazon notified me just a few hours later that Nemesis Prime is back in stock! I now have him ordered. I got email confirmation of the order and am only awaiting shipping notification now.

Another quick update. Looks like the boys in the Amazon have screwed up!

The listing for Repugnus has been removed with another page not found error. So for those who got their chance to preorder the figure, consider yourselves lucky, as we will have to wait once more.

Oh well...

Welcome to Australia.

Except instead of pages not found, we're forced onto the local Australian Amazon site which is basically filled with overpriced resellers and Amazon exclusives aren't made available.
