Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking In Stock at Hasbro Toy Shop

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Jul 18, 2018 at 8:00pm CDT 16,268 views
Thanks to alerts from Scottimus Prime and Seibertronian LongHaulLaser, we have news that the Titan beast himself, Predaking, is now available on Hasbro Toy Shop!. When we received the alert from Scottimus, it was merely a listing, but it was thanks to the alert from LongHaulLaser that we now know he is in stock. He is currently priced at $159.99, and strangely enough, he is being treated as an exclusive: he is not eligible for any other deals other than the free shipping, and he is limited to 1 per household. This is something new we have not seen with any other Titan figures before that were standard releases.

Now that this guy is available to buy, will you pick him up? Is $160 a bit too much, or can't you wait to get this guy in your hands? Let us know in the comments section below!

Honestly cannot wait to get my hands on this guy, and I don't even know why lol. The individual beast modes are terrible, their individual robot modes are just "okay", yet for some reason I must have it. He just works. ;)^ ;)^

And that's coming from a guy who hasn't ever spent more than $50 on a transformer.

Figures this happens...Every other Titan I've paid full retail price for, and around Holiday Time, goes on sale for around 50%. Now with the closure of TRU in the United States, they are calling Predaking an "Exclusive" Limited to 1 per order. So, that indicates to me, they made far less than in previous years...or is this a ruse to avoid the item going on clearance...I hate this. I don't want to overpay, but I don't want to miss out either... :-s

He is in stock at Amazon as well for the same price. I just cancelled my order with BBTS and got it from Amazon because I'm ready to get my hands on it.

Well. The new Pradaking.
Honestly, I like him quite a bit. But he needs upgrades. He is exactly what I expected, simple but fun. The animal modes are tragic, but the bot modes (spare the combining kibble) are surprisingly good. And King mode, might be the most solid, official or 3P, that I've handled.

I had low expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Just because it means one per customer doesn’t mean they’re not making enough. It could mean anything but if your bummed thinking they’re making less than look at your own post.

You don’t want to pay full price and want to wait for clearance. That itself hurts products. It’s like a movie coming out and saying “I’ll wait for video” and then saying “Why didnt the movie do well in theaters?!”

Just buy it and support the brand if you like it.

Well clearly not because it sold out within a day.

Sigh...easy come, easy to. Oh well, I'll get him if I'm able at some point.

What I really want is Hunn-Grr, though. If only they'd get him back in stock. With TRU gone, there's no way I'm getting him local.

No, mediocre quality is what's hurting products. I bought Trypticon on sight at regular price because I felt it was worth it. This set is NOT worth $160.00 IMO.

So I personally will just wait for the price to drop and if I miss out on it then oh well (there's always 3P for those prices). Hasbro is not swindling me with half@ssed overpriced merch.

So shill all you want. People are going to support what's warranted.

As WestJames pointed out it immediately sold out in parts so its being supported.

But some of us cant afford to drop $160 all at once. The only way I got Fort Max & Trypticon was by putting them on Layaway at TRU and making smaller payments, not an option anymore sadly...

Also, for the moment, it appears to be back in stock at HTS...but just the mere fact that it momentarily was not available tells me all I need to know. Fort Max and Trypticon were both available on HTS for well over 6 months (and still have plenty in stock at sites like BBTS)...I don't see this happening with Predaking.

I'd say the quantity limitation is a clear indication that far fewer were produced, they only do that on exclusives that are in limited supply. While Predaking is not "exclusive" to HTS...the purchasing limitations are the same.

Yeah dude everyone knows you don’t want it for full price because you hop sites feeling the need to remind everyone you don’t want full price. We know.

I can certainly see where you are coming from, but I'd warn against making assumptions regarding stock unless we ever got info from a insider at hasbro or other retailers who could confirm it.

Sweet, just ordered mine as well. This will be my first Titan figure/s and Predaking is badass so I am excited. I thought it strange too that it was limit 1, but suppose its to curb re-sales?

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep checking, but my local Target has an abysmal record with getting anything beyond wave 1 in any line.

I bought one for my 3 year old.

I hope he still has that farm playset. It's going to be epic.

Your 3 year old's Predaking is getting off lucky. They just get to hang round, graze and do animal things, maybe attack the tractor. My 7 yer old's Prediking will unfortunately be required to give rides to Barbie and Ken. At least Razorclaw should get a turn driving the pink convertible.

Of course we should both provide some photos of this epic fun. Mine, whoops meant my daughter's, arrive next week.
