For me in the U.K via Amazon.com

Blast off: Sep 26-Oct 3rd
Repugnus: Aug 10 -Aug 16th
Punch/counter: Sep 26- Oct 02

No sign of Nemesis prime being available on amazon.uk and I'm not a Prime member so it looks like it will be added to my list of exclusives I won't get. Amazing way to end each of the lines with a figure for them all, but thankfully Titans Returns looks like it will never ever end with the SF2 crossovers/gold lagoon exclusives/whatever other releases and trying to find the missing wave or legends versions of misfire etc.

Awesome, but I don't know who is going to be around at USPS to deliver him on Sunday. Pretty sure they don't do that. Anybody ever get USPS deliveries on Sundays?

As was mentioned before (I think Kev posted it), USPS and Amazon signed an agreement to do Package deliveries on Sundays. It has been going on since 2014 (it was a slow rollout, but most areas in the US should have it by now).

Neat! Maybe I will extend my Prime membership beyond just the free 30 day trial. :-?

It's raining Amazon exclusives!

Those all look great -- makes me even more eager for Punch/CP.

In the photo of the package, did anyone notice they used a box that has been through a little bit of crushing, not bad, but definitely not what you would want for your official photos.

But that is nothing. The real winner is Blast Off's go-go-gadget legs.

Hasbro's stock photos are glorious. I don't understand why the photographers don't use the instructions, or why Hasbro doesn't send someone to transform and pose the toys.

Anyway, wish Counter/Punch were also being shipped now; it's been a while since I've had a new Transformer, and most of the stuff that I want won't be out till 2019.

I have sources available - if you want one I can source it for you at Amazon base price plus whatever shipping would cost from me (Sydney) to you. Plus about 5 months of waiting, if you don't mind that.

Yeah, same. I'm staring down various listings around the internet because I really don't want to pay near-Leader prices for a Deluxe, but I also really don't want two-thirds of a set 8-}

The offer still stands, regardless! And the same for either of the other two Prime Wars guys - though after my Prime trial expires soon I'll have to add intra-US shipping on top of the offer.

Do you live in one of those countries where Amazon says you can only shop via their country specific site like Australia? Have you been reading the news and the forum discussions about the up-coming Power of the Primes Punch/Counterpunch and you think to yourself "self, I really wish I could get that, but I live in Australia and unless I go through a third party, Amazon US won't ship him to me. Curses!"

Well, curse no more as Punch/Counterpunch is now available through Amazon Australia!

He will be shipping via Amazon US so you might have to wait a little while longer to receive him, and will set you back around $50AU if you order him on his own, but hopefully this is a sign that Amazon AU will allow Australian collectors a chance to order Amazon exclusives in the future.

Let us know what you think of this news in the comments section below!

So it seems Repugnus would have been better if he was more like this custom:

Note the articulated arms, tail, and detailed head.

Except that he's a bug. He shouldn't have a tail at all.

Or bat wings.

Wave2 has returned to some stores for anyone still hunting!

Still no other Leaders besides Roddy around here....

Online exclusive just like his brethren Repugnus and Blast Off.

Doesn't look like it. All three (Blast Off, Repugnus, Punch) are online only so far. Maybe by this holiday season overstock will end up in Ross or TJMaxx (yeah right!).

Aussie Amazon can get Punch/Counterpunch? Excellent news for Qwan, Burn and co :-)

Sadly I can't see Blast Off + Megatronus but, even worse,

No sellers are currently delivering this item to New Zealand.

Also, the official Repugnus does have articulated arms, we've already seen that his bug arms move from pictures.

And it might just be me, but having seen the individual TM head on him compared to his included head, I actually prefer the toy-accurate one. The eyes are smaller, yeah, but the rest of the head looks better to me.

I've noticed, and as someone hunting for Wave 3, I don't much appreciate it. All I saw were 3 Jazz's and a Sinnertwin before my Walmart got flooded with unnecessary Rippersnappers and Dinobots. :BANG_HEAD:

Dang, that's too bad! I thought you guys could (theoretically) ship from Amazon US to New Zealand? I might be wrong but I seem to remember some Kiwis being able to import Punch/Counter and Blast Off.
