Transformers Power of the Primes Sighted at Australian Mass Retail

Posted by Bounti76 Feb 4, 2018 at 11:31pm CST 18,563 views
After having been sighted at smaller specialty shops, and having pricing confirmed, we can now report that Transformers Power of the Primes figures have finally been sighted at mass retail in Australia! Fan M Nero sent us this photograph from a POTP display in a Myer store in Chadstone, Victoria, showing us that Leader Class, Voyager Class and Deluxe Class figures can currently be purchased. This is great news for Australian fans who have been waiting for Power of the Primes figures to show up, as many other countries have seen the figures since late last year. Are you in a corner of the world that is just seeing POTP figures hitting the shelves? Let us know about it! Email us with photo evidence, as well as letting us know where and when you saw it, and your sighting could be front page news! Also, don't forget to share your sightings with fellow collectors both for individual figure sightings and figure sightings in your local area!

Love waiting for the full wave to get here! May be more out of pocket initially, but is is really? No driving to all the same stores several times per week which also saves a ton of time. Excited to get these bad boys open!

Has it been revealed what size the Predacons will be? Or is that not even a PotP discussion?

POTP Predaking is a Titan class figure, presumed to be of similar size to Devastator and consist of roughly Voyager-sized Predacons.

Wave 2 of Transformers Power of the Primes is just around the corner and Entertainment Earth now has descriptions of the contents of each case. The Prime Masters will have repacks and since there are five deluxes in wave 2, some will be packed more than others. The listings state that these are coming out in April 2018 which is exactly as was predicted in the guide we released back in October.

Leaders

1x TRA GEN PRIMES LEADER OPTIMUS PRIME
1x TRA GEN PRIMES LEADER RODIMUS UNICRONUS

If you do have roughly $300 U.S. (after tax) to drop all at once, that is great. But I don't think I've ever seen the entirety of one wave at one time in the same store. Especially with TR when Leaders for one wave would show up months later than the rest of the wave. When I do get them at B&M, its usually while grocery shopping, so no gas wasted ;) .

Let the price gouging on Rodimus begin!

Why would there be price gouging on Rodimus?

He's the only new leader class figure in the case. His preorder is already marked up 20 bucks on BBTS. :( I'm referring to Rodimus Unicronus, for clarification's sake.

It's nothing new, but this is where B&M is so important, so we can avoid things like this.

Or Amazon or HTS (assuming you are in the US).

True. I was about to criticize HTS on their lack of items actually in stock, and Amazon's prices can be all-over-the-place, but I guess its just as much a chance as finding the items at B&M.

You knew Blackwing and Moonracer would be shortpacked?

Comment by Lore Keeper Feb 6, 2018
I'm used to the usual websites tacking on a few dollars here and there. That's nothing new to me. But, the sheer scale of the price raising on the PotP line has been glaring. I'd love to hear the rationale behind it all. God knows, it's not due to improved quality.

Comment by D-Maximal_Primal Feb 6, 2018
At least with wave 2 taking its sweet time and actually getting us back on track time wise for waves, I can save up the money for it and spend time enjoying the new guys I have. Though I am super stoked for Blackwing so I can combine him and Dreadwind and the final 2 dinobots.

Rodicron is so cool looking, I need him now. that's the one I don't want to wait for.

Another advantage to waiting another 2 months or so: all those legends and MP releases in the next 2 months, can focus on them too!

Strange, BBTS has their preorder listing for Alita 1, not Moonracer.
