Turns out Legacy Commander Armada Optimus Prime is very very popular among fans. He is currently sold out on Hasbro Pulse, BBTS and other online retailers. Amazon lagged at posting a listing and so, since fans purchased it elsewhere already, he is still in stock there. Below you will find the links for him on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. He is around $90 USD and $135 CAD (which is over $10 more than he should be when looking at current exchange rates). He is bound to sell out there too as he is currently a number 1 seller.

Beside, if we import it from the USA, we have to pay for shipping so.
Anyway, for Armada Optimus I'm not taking any chances and I will not wait for a sale. I'm preordering right now as I did for Leader Armada Megatron.

I wasn't sure on this one, but I caved and pre-ordered it.

Jetfire and Skylynx had multiple production runs, and from the online community comments, it appears a Motor Master reissue would probably be welcome as well, though it hasn't happened yet.

It's number one for Wii games.
It's number one for PSP games.
And it's number eleven for all of video games, down from number eight yesterday.
The only actual video game to outsell Legacy Armada Optimus Prime is Zelda. Making it the number two best selling actual video game on all of Amazon. So that would also make it the number one XBox Series game, XBox One game, XBox 360 game, PS5 game, PS4 game, PS3 game, PS Vita game, Wii U game, 3DS game and DS game. That's rather impressive. Only a Switch game can outsell it and even then, only Zelda.
Is there a Webdiver or Daigunder feature to this release that hasn't been reported on yet to have it listed as a video game on Amazon? I mean, it's not that they took too long to get the listing up, it's just that I was checking in the action figure category and couldn't find it so I went to Pulse instead. If I had known to check the video games, I might have found it quicker. It's not on the featured Transformers search where it should be at the top above Cyber Commander Optimus Prime who's always up there for some reason along with Cyber Commander Bumblebee and the Cyber Battalion two packs and a bunch of Rescue Bots listings. Only the newest Generations figures make it up here like the newest wave of Armada Megatron, Devcon and the rest.
I just had a chuckle about it when I finally found the listing for it the other day and read what it was a best seller for. I realized why I hadn't found it before then after I read it.
I preordered not only due to the popularity of this figure but I watched a video from Nerdzoic the other day about a very unconfirmed rumor/speculation of Hasbro cutting back on production runs so as to not have so many figures left that go on sale. I mean, this was after a huge Black Friday sale and then still have so much old stock available after the warehouse sale only three months later. It's pretty crazy how many are still available for some figures after both those sales. So I wasn't taking chances with this one and snagged that preorder pretty quick.

That rumor comes up every so often, especially with the Titan Class figures. You have to remember though that "Hasbro Pulse" =/= "Hasbro". Pulse is a third party company working with Hasbro. They are basically the same as TFSource or BBTS just with a direct phone line. It is possible Hasbro Proper expected a Big Box retailer to make an additional order for stock that didn't pan out, or more likely that Meijer and Target are placing smaller orders based on previous sales numbers, but I wouldn't put a huge amount of stock into the rumor. At the end ofvthe day, I would stick with "does this look like a figurevthat is worth $89.99 to me? And if the answer is no wait for a sale

As for Kingdom Rodimus being discounted, it might also have to do with him not selling so well due to the limited-use trailer driving the price to that class.

It's not the first time, there were some Kingdom figures that were the best sellers in shoes. Amazon gets their wires crossed pretty badly sometimes.

Not true, Hasbro owns Pulse. Hasbro hosts Pulsecon and owns the Pulse social media channels including the YouTube channel where they reveal new figures. It's even on the Hasbro corporate website as one of their brands.
I think the confusion comes from them using a Shopify store front, but Shopify is just a tool that anyone can pay to use, they don't actually own the store.

Agreed. And where are SG Jetfire and Buzzworthy Worlds Collide? I believe the latter was never available on Pulse US.
Posted by Grahf_ on April 21st, 2023 @ 6:36pm CDT
Then again, I'm kind of glad they weren't put up since I found this over 6 hours later and all the ones I want would've been sold out again by now anyway. It would've been nice to have gotten an email about this from Pulse Premium though.
I never did find the World's Collide set either but I managed to get a set for just about retail. Or rather, in between retail and what should've been retail since one of them was a voyager but the set seemed to have been priced as four deluxes. Either way, I managed to find it for a price I was willing to pay.

That was barely a blip on Walmart.ca.
If I want her, I'll have no choice but to pay a zillion $ on eBay or AliExpress.

Many have dissed this Shrapnel figure as being too simple. And yet, it's in such demand that they can't seem to keep it in stock. What's the deal with this one...?

It's really good plus there's an issue with getting a matched set of purple guns.

She's also loosely Unicronian in origin. She's a Herald of Shokaract (his highest-ranking one at that, bearing the title of "Herald Maximo"), who conquered Cybertron in the far distant future using Unicron's Dark Essence to make his own Matrix, the Matrix of Conquest.DeathReviews wrote:I did wind up pre-ordering "Antagony".

And like I said in the selects thread, I really hope we get Shockaract and Cataclysm as well.
And, for the love of god, I want Windrazor!

Not everywhere, that's for sure. You can get it on Amazon - if you're willing to pay nearly double the retail price. But it's not on BBTS. Nor can you get in on the Target website, which is supposed to be the exclusive partner for this thing. It was up on Pulse for a while, but it's sold out again. It doesn't seem to be as available as all that.
The minions did manage to get one copy from Pulse before it sold out. I was weeping rather, for the folks who don't have this figure yet, and still can't find it because it's not available through normal channels. And there many people in that boat...
