So one of my local Walmarts has been devoid of POTP Voyagers and Leaders for weeks/months. I checked the store today and they restocked POTP Voyagers with 4 cases of wave 1 (4 Grimlocks and Starscreams). I won't be surprised if this is the last POTP Voyager figure restock they get this year (well at least until November/December).

 

Well they will reset the whole aisle, along side the entire department. It will be done in August, just like every year there's a post Back to School/early 4th Quarter toy reset at Target.

 

Don't give in yet, I actually just found these at Wal-Mart this morning:

 

No offense, but big deal. Every Walmart within a thirty mile radius of me has had them for over a month, possibly two. Not to mention Meijer. Voyagers are the biggest issue. Deluxes are almost as bad. All Walmarts and Targets in my area are restocking with wave one. It is fucking ridiculous. It must be the new toy lines. Hasbro's farm factories in China must be replacing tooling for the smaller, more cost effective molds for the BB movie and beyond. Leaving the rest of the backstock to rot in big box warehouses until Ollies and Ross buy them up. Assuming they did not produce these in really small batches.....regardless this is a "scalper's" wet dream. Thanks Hasbro!!

 

I was just at a local Walmart in Los Angeles and they had 5 or 6 unopened POTP Voyager cases among the pallets on the floor. I opened one up and it was Wave 3 - Grimlock and Inferno. Maybe they'll be hitting the other stores as well.

 

This strategy of having nothing to do with distribution is a money losing strategy.

 

Dude was talking about giving in to those scalpers to get these, just showing him that it's worth it to wait a little longer. Maybe your Wal-Mart got them before and you actually have the Meijer option (most of us don't), but here it's been nothing but Wave 1 Primemasters for six months, with only one hit of Wave 2 Voyagers and Deluxes in the whole city, so anything Wave 2 arriving is news and a good sign that as usual patience is going to pay off.

 

And if you're even more patient, POTP deluxes will be $9 at Ollies inside of 9 months.

 

And I'd be fine with that, except I don't have an Ollies near me, but it wouldn't be the first time I've had to hit discount retailer or two to complete a line for Generations (and I'm sure it wouldn't be the last).

Although I really think the only even remotely hard to find figure by the end of the year in PotP will be Novastar, but if that's the case I would just buy Takara's version and be done with it.

 

My local Walmart (well, one of them) is possibly getting some more Deluxes in tomorrow, so who knows what that will be. Hopefully wave 2.

 

I just dont buy this easily. Seems Walmarts are finally restocking, and it seems to include Inferno for the most part. But after that small initial wave at Target, Inferno isnt there. It really seems like Hasbro's distributor is absolutely clueless.

 

Saw most of wave two at Target tonight. Was hoping it was three.

 

This- there is no Ollies near me, so it’s not an option to wait

 

Wave 2 of POTP? Like deluxes/Voyagers?

 

Deluxes. Dinos and Rippersnapper.

I bought Rippersnapper and Hun-gurrr 3 months ago.

 

Thats almost news in itself since wave 2 has been about non existent.

 

I think we have an answer on why we can't hardly find any Power of the Primes figures.......





All of the Marvel Legends Thanos figures keep making all the other toylines disappear.

Saw Inferno today, which means that an entire wave was never in my state. Congrats Hasbro, it's not like people might want to buy your stuff.

 

My local Walmart (Oregon, OH) has wave 2 legends and wave 3 Inferno and Grimlock, hope is shimmering. 2 Dreadwinds are still on the pegs.
