While it did not last long, Toysrus.com did have every deluxe and legends class Transformers toy from Power of the Primes on sale earlier today. At great prices too, with deluxes at $13.59 and legends at $7.99. At the moment of writing this, Skrapnel and Windcharger are still available. You could always ask to be notified if the product comes back into stock or, if possible, present these listings at your local Toysrus and ask for a raincheck to purchase them at these prices when they become available in stores (your mileage may vary). Remember that it's free shipping if you order $29 worth of products.

The great take away from this is that Toysrus has recieved a shipment of Power of the Primes Wave 1 Deluxes and Legends. It is unknown if this first shipment only contained what was sold online or if it also contained stock for their brick and mortar stores, which would currently be on their way and possibly show up on shelves soon. So let us know if you do find these toys in Toysrus stores in the sightings section and your local sightings thread.

We thank Bucky for having reached out to let us know of these listings.

So I got my luxes from HTS earlier in the week and only just got to fiddle with them.

Relative scale aside I love these Dinobots. Would I prefer bigger and more intimidating scale? Sure. But these giys are fun toys.

And Slag has a great 5mm prg hole. :lol:

Slag really took No Shave November to Spark...

Or it's free shipping if you order $29 worth of products, which is a great deal especially at the discounted prices.

You gotta remember Priority Mail is the lowest option they will go and even that minimum is 5 bucks. The extra dollar is packagung cost rounded up. First Class Mail is fine person to person but its not as gairenteed safe as Priority so a business wont touch it. Its also hy I o verything I can to NOT have to ship PRIORITY when I ell on Eay, when I can stuff a small Priority box into a manila bhubnle packer and come in $3 cheaper you better believe I am gonna do it.

I got all of the PotP deluxes and legends class figures at Target easily. For those of you who don't already know how to do this, another thread listed the DPCI codes or all of the sets at Target. Go to any Target Inventory checker sites and enter the code and your zip code and it will show you if your store has it in stock. I saw that my nearest store had the deluxes in stock and when I got there and they were not on the shelf, I found an employee, showed him the DPCI code and he went in the back and found a case and I was able to get Jazz, Slug, Swoop, and Dreadwind. I then saw that a Target about 15 miles out had the legends and did the same thing there and was able to pick up Slash, Windcharger, and Beachcomber. Anyway, for those still looking, if you can find the DPCI codes (I can't remember which thread had them listed now) and Google a Target Inventory Checker site, this may help you get your hands on the ones that have shipped to your nearest stores. Good luck.

Tried that. None of my stores had them may have gotten picked by other collectors. Got my Drluxes though when HTS had them. The Voyagers and Legends are reserved on Amazon. If I find them before the 1tth, cancelling is not hard. If I don't, thrn I am set

Hasbrotoyshop & Toys R Us gets them in stock. I check that same day & they're already sold out. I'm pretty sure they only got 1 fucking case in. Just like when my Walmarts get anything in, they only get 1 case. I'm just gonna order from ebay or Amazon & skip the frustration & hassle.

BBTS might be a cheaper option than either Amazon or eBay. I haven't checked recently, so I don't know for sure what these are going for in the jungle or bay.

When you think about it, Starscream's combined mode not having a specific name or identity make perfect sense. Why? Because Starscream is such an egomaniac that it make perfect sense that he'd presumably be the dominant personality in such a combination and want to keep it named after itself rather than imply that the combined being is an entity of its own.

Yup. Easy pass. This toy is really something of a let down. The kibble in all modes are just unforgivable given how far we've come in toy engineering and design.

I was just able to process orders for all four legend size ones even though they indicated out of stock. Ymmv, but it’s worth a shot to me at these prices.

We should all remember that these toys were not supposed to come out until December/January. Any case found out there before then is sheer dumb luck and so far these have not been found at the biggest toy retailer in the US (volume wise, which is Walmart) nor have these been found in any other country in the world. So we really should relax. its wave 1, the wave most ordered. Anyone remember when no one was finding Triggerhappy? I remember people being as desperate as Jennifer Connely in Requiem for a Dream, but now that toy is everywhere.

It seems the more and more images we see of Volcanicus, the combiner made up of all the Power of the Primes Dinobots, the less people are excited. The arms seem too far apart from one another (especially when the extra combiner fists are not used to fill up the gap), the proportions are not great and the fact that the dino mode for Grimlock looks compromised by the combining gimmick is not enchanting anyone.

However, saltcandyHakata on Twitter, has found an alternate configuration by playing around with Voyager Grimlock and the only two released deluxe Dinobots so far, Swoop and Slug. They have found that combiner fists can connect to the bottom of Grimlock's feet, meaning that you can extend the dino legs as smaller combiner arms and simply plug in the fists. This makes for a much less bulky combiner and fun option configuration to have while waiting for the rest of the team to complete the combiner. More than that, it shows the possibility of this combining system having a decent looking combiner made from just three robots. Road Caesar anyone?

Wow that actually works (I tried that with CW prime did not work that well) but I'm still going to get the rest of the dinobots

Looks like we found Dino Caesar indeed.

Edit: If each dino was colored differently, it would REALLY make me think of a three-man Power Rangers team who gets two more rangers down the line to upgrade their megazord.

Using Grimlock's first holes? Eh, the big head looks out of proportion with the now scrawny arms, plus the shoulders are sitting a bit low.

I may be a minority here... but I actually this combination a lot more than what the intended combiner is supposed to look like with five bots.

Well I for one agree with you. The train wreck that is Volcanicus is at least easier to look at now. The legs are a little longer, but this combination seems to work a lot better.
I’m not as sad about the money I spent on the Dinobota I’ve bought already.

You know, this might be like a crazy PR/Sentai homage if Grimlock was painted like the Dino Thunder Tyrannozord or Gabutyra while having Slag and Swoop be painted blue and yellow (respectively), or Slag can be pink and Snarl could be blue to match up with Stegochi and Dricera (al biet relocated in the legs). It'd be weird (not helping id the already goofy design of the 3 bot combiner), but I hope Grimlockimus or Cheetimus can do something like that.

Posted by Skritz on December 2nd, 2017 @ 10:38pm CST

Upon completely cursory and presumably crappy examination, it appears to me that Grimlock's torso mode is barely slightly wider than the Menasor torso. Now granted, that one is apparently the worst CW torso but Grimlock's problem lies entirely in his twin waist and the need to bulk it up because if not for that I do think Volcanicus could have had a lot of neat things going for it. Unfortunately, whatever positives he has is ruined by his awful proportions and sacrifices made to his other modes.

Its a shame because he and his whole team have truly lovely color-matching and that sweet transparent-over-gold color so iconic of the Dinobots. If not for his awful shape he could have ended one of the more visually appealing and coherent Combiners of the CW/PotP line.

The 'curse of combining Dinobots' goes way back, man. Granted now I'd love to see a customizer do a Geister combiner from the POTP Dinobot to fight a customized Hot Rod/Rodimus made to look like Exkaiser. Granted he'd need some partsforming for the lion chest and some serious head remodeling but still...

Maybe with those lanky limbs, Volcandeetocaminus hits fast & furious. :michaelbay:

But if you strike him there, he gonna fall apart.

The best thing about this Grimlock is the dinoface -- but the G1 figure did that pretty well, and had the body to boot. His robolegs were kinda janky tho

Posted by Skritz on December 2nd, 2017 @ 11:02pm CST

Volcanicus may have a crummy chest but it does make me wonder: could this be a prelude to a Monstructor/Dinoking with some shuffled-up positions, with Slog/Kakuryu as a torso and a new legends-class Birdbrain which would function as a torso-bulker of some kind?

Or am I just talking outta my ass trying to justify why Grimlock went so damn wrong?

I don't see how he went wrong if you view this as a Season 3 G1 cartoon Grimlock.

Who was fairly short-to-average in height and had a GIANT yellow crotch/belly and even had a wide badger tail.

FoC was the "badass" Grimlock. Masterpiece was a mix of Marvel Comics and early G1 animated Grimlock, all angles and oddly balanced threat. This is S3 Grimlock to go with Kup, Wheelie, Arcee, etc. He's the chubby comic relief. Get him an apron and chef's hat or a bow tie and a platter.

He'll be the first combiner I own not to be displayed in combined form..though, TBH don’t know if the lacklustre result has much to do with it. Though not horrendous, it was somewhat unnecessary, and I might’ve preferred a TR version. Would’ve been nice if they all got a size upgrade or if they'd have been a bit more imaginative with the combining pattern.. maybe havi g grimlock and sludge as voyagers who combine for the thorso, and slash as a deluxe limb might’ve worked out better

P.s. the thing I dislike most of volcanicus is the head... looks more like an insect icon gestalt head..

THANK YOU for bringing up the Geisters, as they're based on the G1 Dinobots. I hope they're alternate heads for the Dinobots, if there are any.

heh, well it's still not great but it looks a lot more fun and oddly better proportioned than most CW combiners. Those dynamic pose pics are great. Still not worth the botching of Grimlock.

Well, seeing as every Walmart in my are still has 4 to 6 cases of TLK wave one on the pegs, PotP might not show up. I've taliked to a couple of managers, and they have been sending transformer shipments back to distribution warehouses until what's on the pegs sells.
My area has 3 Targets, 4 Meijer, and 7 Walmart stores. Out of those, only 1 store has moved beyond TLK wave 1, and TR wave 4.

TLK was one of the worst selling toy brands they've ever seen, and may have done long lasting damage.

Then they should put them on clearance and get rid of them. I remember the "Beast Hunter" Deluxe figures from the TF Prime line. Those didn't sell either, and they wound up having to use packing tape, lashing two boxes together and selling them 2-for-1, at half price, just to move them out of stores.

I don’t understand why bigbox retail bets so hard on movie toys. Not just Transformers. Justice League. Guardians of the Galaxy. Every big box retailer overorders movie tie in merch by about 5-6x. And the toy companies aren’t even pushing it that hard. It’s retailers doing that.

Is no one going to mention Volcanicus' legs? They're just like Menasor's, except Volcanicus doesn't have those leg flaps that lock the upper and lower leg together. How in the hell does Volcanicus even stand without Grimlock's knees giving out?

His shoulders are now waaaay behind his back and at a slight angle. Plus his arms are being blocked by Grimlock's shoulders so you have to swing them out to the side to get clearance. It only looks good because of the perspective on these 2D images.

But it's fine if you think this looks good:

I am still waiting for one

Gwumpy wumpus.

He turns into a torso mode that actually looks halfway decent. He's of course bound to have a jet mode that's more or less sub par. But the robot mode actually looks good... Dunno where all the hate is from, but okay. I'm just happy we were listened to and got a voyager Starscream that isn't this guy:

Only problem to me is he's probably not gonna be redone into Skywarp and Thundercracker because of his scale.

I dont see how scale changed anything. Every other Generations Starscream got recoloured into those two other seekers and the scales were all over the place.

Plus, we have a listing for a TRU exclusive Thundercraker so I think both the redecos will be store exclusives.
So you may get your wish

My thought was that leader classes from CW were more side things to fill the size gap, and deluxes are the most numerous size class generally, whereas voyagers have the specific gimmick and combiner mixes to go with and only one or two per wave. Plus he's got King Starscream as the torso mode. Just didn't know how the other seekers would fit.

Plus, isn't it possible that the TRU exclusive Thundercracker is the third RiD warrior class seeker? We got Screamer and Warpy, but no Thunders.

I've seen an English review of Voyager Starscream and... If you've seen Energon Storm Jet, you'll know what to expect with him. Really hollow and I kinda fear a repeat of the first runs of CW Silverbolt.

The price point is that of a Voyager, besides RiD 2015 has effectively ended by now,.

It looks like Grimlock's hands are holding onto the combiner hands in the 3-bot version. There's nowhere else they could peg in on the bottom of the dino feet if they're retracted.

But Toys"R"Us is ESPENSIVE! :shock:

Especially when it comes to exclusives.

Also Titans Return effectively ended before Arcee and Grotusque (Both Toys"R"Us exclusives) were released. So it's not exactly impossible.

And, who knows? The exclusive could be cancelled because of Toys"R"Us' loss of business. IMO, it kinda serves them right for jacking the prices up for so high when we now have Amazon to replace the online side, and Target and Walmart to mostly replace brick and mortar stores. I think bad business practice is killing the company, and that ain't our faults. >:oP
