I really wish I could get this guy without the bonus stuff at retail but I doubt that will ever happen. I'd get him, I even have the money right now, but the other exclusives (Blast Off, Punch/Counter-Punch, and Repugnus are higher priority and I am not taking a risk on missing one of them.)

Believe it or not, this Hasbro Toy Shop and SDCC exclusive is truly called Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Throne of the Primes, definitely a mouthful. This black repaint of Power of the Primes Optimal Optimus has a full listing on HTS including the price and the time he will be available for order.

Here are all the details on the listing:

Price: $69.99

Item will be available for purchase on 8/13. Limit of 2 per household
Item is excluded from any promotions.


It's not everyday that a robot who turns into a gorilla and rides a hoverboard becomes the leader of the Autobots. But that's exactly what happened when Optimus Primal won the first-ever Fan Vote Prime poll. When Optimus Primal becomes a Prime, he evolves to Optimal Optimus. Celebrate the fans' choice and the epic conclusion of the Prime Wars Trilogy with this figure that uses converting Evolution Armor to evolve from a 5.5-inch scale Optimus Primal figure to a 9-inch scale Optimal Optimus figure.


This convention edition offering is packed with special features:


4 Convention exclusive Prime Master figures: Nexus Prime, Amalgamous Prime, Prima Prime, and the legendary 13th Prime.


A Scepter of Sparks accessory: holds 4 Prime Master figures.


Halo of Primus display: holds 12 Prime Master figures. Use it to create an epic display of Prime Master power. Additional figures sold separately/subject to availability.


• Includes Leader Class Optimal Optimus figure, 4 Prime Master figures, Scepter of Sparks accessory, and instructions. Special Edition packaging that fans can only get in this version.


• Transformers: Generations Convention Exclusive Figure
• Leader Class Optimal Optimus figure features premium deco and comes in special edition throne packaging
• Comes with 4 Convention exclusive Prime Master figures, a hoverboard accessory, and a Scepter of Sparks accessory
• The 4 Prime Master figures can fit inside the Scepter of Sparks accessory
• Store Prime Master figures in the Halo of the Primus above the throne -- there's room for 12 Prime Master figures in all


• Figure scale: 9 inches

You know what, screw it. I was gonna buy Nemesis Prime on Monday, but I have $62, $8 isn't going to be hard to get my hands on. I actually have a chance. Thank you Primus!

Nemesis is avaialble for Order on Amazom again as "Temporarily Out of Stock"

So get on it if you want it

I ordered mine on the 5th and he's supposed to get here Monday, which would be amazing since I have that day off. It also says he's preparing for shipment so I'd bet he'll ship out tomorrow and be here Friday at the latest - Amazon already charged me, so Nemesis should be moving soon.

I might go for Primal, he looks pretty good. I'll be honest though, I'm disappointed Bumblebee is a numbered Studio Series figure. I don't need the repaint or those cassettes though. If someone does want to split a set I'm game though, it would bug me if I had one number missing as far as completion of Studio Series.

Yikes, it's gonna be on HTS that quickly? That's not typical.

It was 8/14 last year, also a Monday. I don't think it's ever been later than that, I remember when it used to be the week after.

I got in on Nemesis Prime. Probably didn't need to as I already have MP version. Got to eliminate these "unnecessary" purchases.

didnt know where else to put this but does anyone know if PotP Jazz is supposed to have loose shoulder hinges (near his tires) im wondering about it since it seems odd mine wont be able to mske basic poses like "T" pose.

Is the Hasbro toy shop only available to US residents or you can order if you are in Canada?

Edit: AAAAAAND it seems like it's US only. Guess I'm not getting that special Optimus Primal.

Unfortunately, it's still for Prime Members only. Hopefully, they will ease up on that restriction at some point, because joining Prime suddenly makes the price shoot way up.

ordered it!
Thanks for the heads up

Will Punch and Repungus be Prime Members only too?

I suspect they will probably not be a prime member exclusive. Nemesis Prime was shown as a prime day item, and part of Amazon's drive to get more prime subscribers. I believe his exclusivity is more centered around their whole prime day marketing event, whereas Repugnus/Punch-Counterpunch and Blast Off appear to be regular Amazon exclusives not attached to prime day and should be open to all.

That is a shame. Was looking forward to picking this up. Maybe other shops will be getting this for order after? Hopefully...

I already got blast off from robotkingdom
So I suspect those 2 might be available for pre-order soon

I just got a ship notification for Nemesis Prime. It will b here Friday.... did anyone else get a notification?

[Cobotron]

Really strange but wonderful how the Zon is getting these Nemesi out early. And I don't think Zon will make this exclusive only to Prime members. They are in the business of selling things to everyone.

Mine arrived this past Tuesday. I'm loving it. It's my first time with the mold.

I don't even care how lumpy the truck cab is. He is just a fun toy with a neat gimmick. The head sculpts are great. Especially Nemesis Pax's. The extra accessories are great, and Giza is AWESOME!
Mine has super loosey ankles and hips in Evolved mode, but I can still wrangle him into some sweet poses. Hope that looseness is just my copy.

Yep, last week, mine arrived Monday. He is GLORIOUS!

Just curious if anyone here is going to SDCC and only wants the Prime/Titan masters from Throne? All I want is Optimal Optimus.

While I would love to have the entire set in it's entirety, I'll admit the biggest draw to me is the Prime masters and that staff. (Mostly the staff because that thing gives me major Infinity Gauntlet vibes so it's an automatic need in my collection)


Edit: Never mind I'm not going to SDCC I was hoping to buy off the net.

[starrhero]

You know what's depressing? I have a friend on a vacation in San Antonio & I asked them to look around for anything related to PotPie, & what did they find?

...Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. They JUST TODAY found some figures, all from wave one.

I can't believe how hard it is to find ANYTHING. Heck, at this point, I'd be happy with multiple sightings of wave one. At least we'd know that there are some places that could have future waves there.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Ah, I cannot wait for that Primal!! I will probably not sleep that night, and keep watching all media sources to make sure I get him Monday, including leaving my phone on with alert vibrations while at work.

I too hope the Prime membership thing is relaxed, I want the dark Primes trio!!

Also, I see that the Primal listing has a limit of 2. I live in the US pretty much within next day shipping of HTS. If anyone who is outside the US wants me to grab a 2nd and ship to you, I can do that.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but BBTS has the Takara version of POTP Nemesis Prime up for preorder at a price of $69.99 with a release date of December. The difference in price is steep, but it is another option if anyone misses out.

another option would be to sign up for prime and before the free month is up cancel it

Is there any difference between the exclusive and the takara BBTS preorder?

The price, but that should be about it.
