Beginning on Amazon's Prime Day this year, Nemesis Prime became the first of the retail giant's exclusive Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy figures to begin shipping. Some lucky people even got the Leader Class figure before Prime Day. While the Deluxe Class figures have sporadically shown up to preorder, the actual delivery dates have been up in the air for Blast Off, while Repugnus and Punch-Counterpunch previously got release dates of August 3rd and September 19th, respectively

Well, thanks to Seibertron.com fan Marcelo, and yours truly, we now have confirmation that any Blast Off figures that were able to be ordered will be shipping as early as next week. Currently, only Nemesis Prime is in stock, though you must be an Amazon Prime member to purchase him. Additionally, Repugnus and Punch-Counterpunch are available for preorder; there's no word on when/if Blast Off will be available to order again.

Check out the photos below, and click on any of them to be taken to that figure's order page, and let us know if you received a shipping notice for any of these exclusives.

LoL I didn't think it was news. Also I may dabble in another transformers forum

and there has been non-stop chatter about when people's blastoff are arriving. I was getting a little tired of it. But then again, I may have contributed to that conversation

My Blast Off hasn't shipped yet (still waiting for a date) and I ordered on the 17th like everyone else did.

I just checked my E-mails and I have a notice from Amazon that Blast Off should be coming to me some time next week.

VERY happy to wake up to find that the shipping date was changed to TODAY! (Nemesis will be arriving today, too). I don't get the emails or anything since it is my wife's Amazon account.

Plus. Actual picture of me reading the news:

My Blast Off is supposedly arriving today too, but I'm going out of town this morning before it arrives and won't be back to enjoy it until Sunday.

And yet here I am, pre-ordering before many of you still waiting on my Blast Offs. Estimated Delivery is July 31st.

Oh man that sucks. Personally this is the most anticipated figure for me in some time. Can't wait until tonight!

At least you guys are getting him.

Yeah, there's no sign on the UK site of any of them either.

But we were able to order them of the main Amazon site. Just received an update e-mail that my Blast-off will ship soon. Expected to arrive August 8-14.

I'd perfer to have just ordered from .ca, but due to the lower production numbers they would likely get crappy stickers slapped on the boxes to include French for Quebec.

Not interested in paying shipping plus import fees. The same toys are listed on .ca, they should stock them there too.

Understandable, but as shipping and import was $10.31, I decided it was reasonably decent & I wanted him in my collection enough to skip hitting Starbucks on my break the day I placed the order.

Same here. At least I have the wave 3 prime masters and legends arriving from BBTS this week to tide me over.

My guess is the TLK toyline also suffered. And I hear the comics aren't doing fantastic, revenue-wise (though I bet better than most comics these days).

From what I'm aware, Transformers has done very well in the past year, with the exception of the Last Knight movie. Even the toys sold well, but that's because it was a very scaled back toy line.

I've heard similar things about the comics, but Transformers comics have never been big sellers, not since 2002's Dreamwave Transformers #1.

mordhelm wrote:Unfortunately these things happen when corporations do something drastic to "right the ship".

To the bean counters, what characters sell? The original Autobots and some of the Decepticons.

This is really just the fallout of a tough year for Transformers.

War for Cybertron was in the works long before the failures of last year. In the absence of a working crystal ball, these decisions were all under way long before 2017 happened.

mordhelm wrote:I am with you though, quite disappointed about several missing characters from G1. However, I think they are coming. Warden seems interesting in completing the G1 line. So I think Pretender Monsters, Seacons, Horrorcons, Targetmasters, are all coming. Heck, they may special release the remaining Pretender shells at some point too.

There are different ways to bring out the "missing characters" without doing it in the way in which we think it should be done. Who knows where and when other characters will show up. Hasbro knows what they're doing. I have great faith in their plans, though I have waited very patiently for the 84 and 85 characters to finally get finished up like Cliffjumper, a proper Huffer, the Deluxe Insecticons, Astrotain done right, Reflector, Hoist and Trailbreaker done right, and so on. Hopefully we'll get those gaps filled in soon!

mordhelm wrote:Let's all not forget that there is one more show (NYCC) this year. I believe NYCC was when Grotusque was revealed and put up for sale. I think we have one more surprise coming for NYCC.

Not to mention other shows around the world which may give Hasbro other opportunities to unveil other new products. They haven't really done that in the past but considering the onslaught of new products unveiled at SDCC last week, I have great hopes that there is more just waiting right around the corner.

It was also my understanding, that Hasbro decided to start brand changing every 18 months, to every 12 months so that B&M would order new product, instead of skipping the last couple waves because of ordering too much of earlier ones. I just think most (including myself) thought this would occur after PotP, not during it, since we saw some *clues* at perhaps other proposed releases. Think about it. The original line lasted 8 years (though the concepts changed dramatically) BW lasted 3 years, BM & RID roughly 2 years, and every mainline since has lasted 2 years. Even sub-lines like Universe, and each iteration of Generatons lasted about 2 years. But T30, CW, & TR were 18 months, now we are down to one year.

So while this keeps product fresh on the shelves, this forces

and

to come up with basically a whole new concept every year. Of course we see some recycling of ideas, and that's not a bad thing, but I'm just not sure how long it will last. I mean MOTU has a great thing going with their collector based series, but I'd kind of hate for Generations to go that route.

Advantages: having guaranteed release dates, and knowing in advance what's coming
Disadvantages: high cost, short supply, and no B&M option, scalpers galore....

Repugnus is looking sharp, there. Thanks for the pics, Cyberpath, and (of course) your comparison charts! As it happens, I have both the Hasbro and Takara "Titans Return" alternate heads available to me, so I'll be replacing the one that comes with Deluxe Repugnus. The question is if I want screen accurate blue optics or toy accurate green ones (as a compromise between the cartoon and G1 toy looks).

Oh, and my Blast Off should be arriving from Amazon on Tuesday 7/31 or Wednesday 8/1.

I call shenanigans on this here news. My first post on this site was saying that I got a preorder in on Blast Off the day before Prime Day, which was listed as his release date, and then he came two days after said release date on the 18th. I also posted his arrival on the haul thread as having come with the other thing I ordered on Prime Day. I guess no one listens to me.

Proof.JPG

I've also preordered Repugnus and P/CP already. Repugnus comes out on August 1st, and will be received by me on the 3rd, and P/CP comes out on September 15th, and will arrive at my house while I'm away at school on the 18th.

Those in-hand pics of Repugnus look great though, I like his head better now.

I wouldn't take it personally, after all nobody is perfect. I've seen many things come up as "news" after I initially posted about them, or IMHO "it wasn't news", its often subjective. Sometimes I purposely submit news, and sometimes it gets reported, and sometimes it does not. Sometimes I post in the forums, things I think are no big deal, and they actually end up as news...go figure. The point is, the folks here all seem to be pretty decent, and care about what they are doing. I know I fly off the handle sometimes, I'm not perfect either, but my anger usually goes towards the toy industry, lackluster animation , or comics, NOT the fans themselves. Just keep on truckin', and enjoy your Blastoff that you got before several others.
