Power of the Prime toys now out in Australia

[griffin]

As we were promised by Hasbro Australia, the Power of the Prime toys have shown up in Australia in the third week of January... first sighted at a Toyworld in Canberra.

So far found are the Deluxe, Voyager and Legends sizes, with Prime Masters on their way.

If you see them at other retailers, other states, or even the Leaders at all, let us know.


Found the first wave of PotP figures at Toyworld Fyshwick. Picked up the Dinobots, but all other figures in stock

Beaten to the punch - Deluxes are $35 (ouch) and Voyagers are $50. Legends are in too, but I didn't catch the price on them. They said they'll have the Prime Masters in any day now.

Posted up on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155509941829585&set=p.10155509941829585&type=3) - the Leaders and Prime Masters found at a Toyworld in Victoria.
That's the entire first wave released, and showing up at Toyworld first.
(other retailers will depend on when they clear out enough of their old stock first)

I was at Toyworld Kiama just a few days ago and they had nothing!!! <breaks down and cries> :(

[SMHFConvoy]

Hmm, they may not be the same business but I'm going to check the toymate at lidcombe - just in case.

[DELTAprime]

Anyone able to clearly read Toyworld's price tags?

Can't read the prime master prices but it looks like deluxes are $34.95?

[Thurmus]

If it is a Toyworld in Victoria, it will be RRP or higher.

Toyworld kiama has the first wave, leader prime and rodimus, all first wave deluxes @$30, beachcomber and company were @$20 (don't remember seeing slash but may have been there), and the prime masters are tiny, they were $10 each. The pm dont seem to be worth $10 to me. I will get some of them, but not today

The store owner there is quite pleasant.

[DELTAprime]

My local Toyworld had MSRP on CW toys which is when I last went in there. If they are the same for POTP I might grab some of them from there, but the prices for Deluxe and Voyager at Big W and Kmart have been much better in recent years.

[GoktimusPrime]

Toyworld kiama has the first wave

They're out of their minds.

[griffin]

POTP toys are now showing up at Myer, and shelf tags have been seen at some Kmarts, ready for the stock to arrive.

Seems they're trying to make their prices in line with the hasbro black series figures.

Personally for what we get they aren't that worth it but the only alternative is mp's or statues unless you're content with the little blind bag dealies.

TF collecting was never cheap to begin with

[griffin]

POTP now being found at Target stores as well, of the smaller four sizes, but not Leaders. (they weren't scanning in their system, so maybe they aren't getting them)

That just leaves BigW and ToysRUs, and we know that they are in the TRU computer system.


Come on toy sales...

[griffin]

The ToysRUs website has now listed four of the POTP size classes, missing Voyagers at this time. (they registered on their price-scanner, so they should be getting them)

Prime Masters (https://www.toysrus.com.au/transformers-generations-power-of-the-primes-figure-assorted_1181150/) - $10
Legends (https://www.toysrus.com.au/transformers-generations-power-of-the-primes-legends-figure-assorted_1181150/) - $20
Deluxe (https://www.toysrus.com.au/transformers-generations-power-of-the-primes-deluxe-class-figure-assorted_1181150/) - $35
Leader (https://www.toysrus.com.au/transformers-generations-power-of-the-primes-leader-figure-assorted_1181150/) - $90

Usually when products are listed on their website, they appear in stores within about a week (not necessarily all stores at once though).

I was at the Myer Sydney store earlier this afternoon and they had at least 5 of each of the PotP Legends, Deluxe and Voyager classes in stock at RRP (didn't remember seeing any leader classes).

They have a 20% off toys sale until the end of this week if you buy 2 or more toys. I bought Slug, Swoop and Grimlock for my son's upcoming birthday and the total was $95.88 (RRP $119.85). I don't believe any of the PotP line are available through their online store.

Thanks for the head's up idiotek! I was waiting for something like that from them.

Apologies if this is already posted somewhere, but just a heads up that this is now up for pre-order on their site for $195AU...

I might wait and see if Predaking is in the Big W Toy Sale this year. They aren't as cheap as online, but are normally the first or one of the first places in the world to stock Titan Class figures and I'm going to be really impatient in regards to getting Predaking cause G1 Predaking is my favourite combiner in all of G1.

Devastator is second favourite for the record. I love the non-Scramble City combiners.

Got it thanks mate

Saw one of the POTP commercials on TV last week in the early evening. The one with Starscream and Jazz.

Saw it again tonight, during prime-time at about 7.20pm on one of the Nine channels.... this one, on the Hasbro youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r4fA8PRXBM).

That's a more expensive timeslot than during morning cartoons, and a much different demographic (which sorta makes sense, as Generations is more for the older kids, and adults remembering those characters from their childhood, either for them, or their kids).

[reillyd]

I wonder why they're bothering paying for advertising. Most stores don't have them and for those that do they are flying off the shelf. I hope they underordereed wave 1, and we'll see more Wave 2 & 3. Because otherwise we're going to be clogged with old stock once Big W gets theirs

[griffin]

I did the rounds today of all of the national retailers with toys - Toyworld, ToysRUs, BigW, Target, Kmart, and Myer - and they all had POTP toys... so now we just sit and wait/hope for the restocks of later waves (or the first wave, if your nearest retailer is still waiting for their stock).
The point is, all national retailers now have the stock in their supply chain, and should have it in-store, or on its way now.
