Even if you miss it, there's always the Takara version. And really, the HTS price ends up being similar to the BBTS price when you factor in shipping and tax, so the only difference between ordering from these places is when you actually get it.

I know. I just feel like playing the game today.

the Game of Thrones!!!!

Yeah I'm not even going humor those asshats.

After almost an hour and a half. About 20+ minutes per step (there are 4 steps). It says my order went through.
And........ Confirmation email received.

Still won't believe it's real until a ship notification comes in.

What a bunch of Bozos over there at the Toy Shop!

EDIT: They claim the estimated ship date is today. Yeah. We'll see about that.

If you really want it, don't let spite get in the way of saving you some money and getting your figure sooner. Hasbro Toy Shop is not going to be stuck with unsold Thrones out of fan protest. If you don't buy it, someone else will, until they are gone.

Getting it earlier, sure.
Getting it cheaper, no.

That's so funny, I came here to post how, for me, my computer was as slow as a snail (couldn't even get past the address page) and then I tried it on my phone and it was smooth sailing. Glad to hear you got one!

^That is exactly what happened to me last time. if you didn't get the "Thank you for your order" screen, and then follow up e-mail it didn't go through. Even with an order number and my paypal charged last time it did not go through, after a week and a series of back and forth emails and calls to HTS customer service, my order was ultimately cancelled, and the charges reversed on Paypal.

However if you call HTS, they should be able place the order manually, but you'll have to do it by credit card, they cant do paypal over the phone.

o.supreme wrote:I purchased as a guest, but I did have an order number, and my paypal was "charged", until it was reversed a week later because the order did not go trhough because ogf a *glitch*. Today however I for sure got my "Thank you for your order" screen, and e-mail form HTS.

Who knows though, because you have the info on your account login, it may have worked...

I doublechecked with them after that point, and they did show the order as processed and they resent the confirmation email, so it looks like I have a Throne on the way. All Prime Masters acquired! And doubles from the Amazon exclusives means I am just short one more Prime Master to put in the Scepter. Seems kinda poopy they didn't make one more extra just for it to be complete while leaving the Wheel of Fortune Primes with one of every Prime Master.

There are enough unique Prime Master releases to fill all of the available slots, actually. The wheel only has 12 slots, not 13. The scepter has 4 slots. That's 16 slots total. The wheel can house the "normal" versions of all 12 Primes. The scepter can hold the "13th Prime" as well as the Special Edition clear plastic versions of Megatronus (from Blast Off), Solus Prime (from Repugnus), and Prima Prime (from Punch/Counterpunch).

Isn't there a slot to plug the 13th prime master and the center of the wheel? If not it's kind of fitting that the scepter will have the two primes that were lovers and the first and the last Prime.

Nope! The "Wheel of Primes" is attached to the back of the throne. The majority of it is, in fact, obscured by the throne. You can only see the top four or five Prime Masters at any one time, meaning you need to rotate the wheel around like a roulette wheel to see the rest. A slot in the center of the wheel would be pointless, since it would always be hidden by the back of the throne. "The 13th Prime" comes attached to the Scepter of Primes in the box, so that's where Hasbro intends you to put it.

FYI: The Throne of the Primes is now marked as "Sold Out" on Hasbro Toy Shop! Good luck to everyone who gave it a second go at getting this figure!

Sure, 10$ cheaper on Amazon japan is not the biggest discount, but thats still the price of deluxe figure for me, so every bit counts.

Rodimus Unicronus all the way. He is the better mold overall of the 2, and his colors are much more appealing and his head sculpt rocks so hard

What he said. The PotP Prime mold is lame. Even with the better color scheme and extra stuff, Nemesis Prime is only barely passable. I don't get why people are so obsessed with the figure and owning it ASAP. I kinda get TotP because of the Prime Masters, but the figure itself makes no sense without some canon backing it up. Just my opinion of course.

Ha I had it in my cart in HTS but couldn't stomach the $85 charge. Decided to PO it from Amazon JP to save $10. May still cancel it as I have no real desire for the figure.

I feel like Nemmy's combined bot mode is an overall tighter, more congruent, less awkward package. NemPax has a wicked head sculpt.

I can imagine that...

Yeah, same here. Every few days, I pop in to a few as I drive by on my way home from work. No luck. Some of them still have Titans Return figures on the pegs, like Chromedome and Highbrow.

Oh, I wish that were the case here, I'd buy some early TR figures I missed, but instead, all this Walgreens has is a single leftover Cloudraker-Wingspan pack, two One-Step Changers that aren't even from the same line as each other, and some blind bagged Kreons. Sad.

Ha, I've seen a few TR figures as well - like Twinferno

And it's not like you can rely on their website to check in store stock. Last time I checked there are 2-5 WGs at every store.

Has he even been spotted yet?

mordhelm wrote:So if you are showing 2-5 then it jumps to 4-7 or 6-9, give it a shot. Pretty much identical to the way I found the Terrorcons at Walmart using Brickseek. Also, that is how I got Brainstorm and the Clone 2-Pack from Walgreens if I recall correctly.
