    That is one great looking figure (and even more so in these fantastic pics).

    If I didn't already have POTP OP, I don't know if I'd be able to resist simply getting this version instead. As it is, I don't have the space in my collection for another version of the mold so I'm "settling" for the OP version.

    Still enjoy seeing pics though. There's just enough differences that it brings life to what would otherwise be "just another black OP repaint".

    Just got POTP Nemesis Prime and Rodimus from Amazon (thanks to a friend with Prime membership), but:
    IMG_20180813_001648.jpg IMG_20180813_001459.jpg

    The figure inside doesn't seem to be damaged, and there there no obvious signs of the box being opened in transit, so I'm a'm assuming this happened during packing after assembly...

    Yeah, they're still not in stock there. I ended up shipping my order and got Hun-gurrr and Rippersnapper. TFSource is in Nevada so I was able to get them in a day. Rather than wait, I got the rest from BBTS, but $4 shipping feels like they're being walked over to California :lol

    Yeah, if only TFSource would let me cancel my pre-order, I could have bought the figures weeks ago when I saw them in a wal-mart

    Contact customer service, and they'll either replace it or give you a discount.

    Really liking this guy much more than I expected to. I told myself that when the Unite Warriors Bruticus set came out that I didn't need the shuttle version of Blast-off, and that I was fine with the jet mode.

    Not sure what I was thinking. This is a great toy, despite its warts. :)

    I do like Hasbro's color scheme a lot better than the one from TakTomy.

    Some of that Rodimus armoured up look would have been cool.

    How come there are so many Decepticon Primes? I thought Megatronus was the first.

    In my world the cons steal, enslave any of the Prime Masters they can get their hands on., Its the main source of conflict in the floor right now.

    Got Throne if the Primes Primal ordered. I’m very stressed out over the ordering process, but hopefully I’ll have him in hand soon with no issues.

    With Hun-Grrr and Nemesis Prime on the way I just need Novastar and the regular Primal for the larger figures. I still haven’t seen any indication that waves 2 and 3 Primemasters have appeared in my area though. They’ll be the last figures I need.

    Didn't think I'd get these guys since they're smaller than I'd like and they're Titan Masters, but here we are....

    It is because of heat. I saw something on twitter about Transformers packaging melting like that! Pretty wild!
