    Actually, deluxes are $20 now, so I would just expect it to be a single deluxe.

    Yessssssss. I always felt POTP deserved a couple more releases. There were some extras in CW and TR via Boxsets.

    Really really interested in Stepper. Red Swoop is a maybe, but if he has the head with the visor that was used in Pete's Not Botcon I'm sold. Maybe I can repurpose him as an updated Terrorsaur.

    Just today I finaly got Walgreens' Wreck-Gar. Right now I'm a deluxe short to complete Megascream, and Inferno is a spare torso with no team, who ocasionally gets my Galvatronus' limbs to for "Nexus Prime" in my headcanon.

    To bad it’s Power of the Primes select series and not the entire trilogy like the amazon exclusives. Could really use a good Apeface and Snapdragon... oh well Seacons and Dinoking dreams are still alive at least. And definitely getting that Ricochet.

    Apeface and Snapdragon could be part of one of the lines in WFC Trilogy. But I agree, there are some interesting easy repaints Hasbro could do. Devcon and Fulcrum from TR Scourge, Carnivac from TR Wierdwolf, Rotorstorm from CW Heli mold or TR Highbrow...

    That "PW3 Repaints Hasbro won't do" thread in the Toy Forum seems really relevant right now.

    I might get Ricochet, depending on the price. I’m more hoping that this provides an avenue for a wider release of the remaining Prime Masters.

    Nice, red swoop and riochet are easy buys (Especially since now I can just repurpose the blue swoop as Ravenus since the red one\'s happening)

    If this means that blue Swoop will be more readily available in the aftermarket, I'm game.

    @Bob Schoonover I too am hoping we get some extra fembots from this BUT I also have the feeling that these two guys were the originally-intended wavemates of Novastar in the 4th wave with her before the line's curtailment, and Elita-Infin1te was always meant to have Jazz legs as indicated by the packing art.
    I'd love to be wrong about that though.

    I suppose the Jazz redeco won't have the controversial tampo...
    I have no need for red Swoop, or red face Slug, for that matter, but I want that Ricochet.
    Can I still hope for a Strika redeco of Rook?

    I'm happy with my original Generations Jazz, which is part of the reason I haven't rushed out to get the POTP one, but I've yet to get a CHUG Ricochet/Stepper. And red chest Swoop? Gimme!

    Sounds promising. There were a couple last minute recolors that never did find a home that could do well.

    Seems retailers got too hyped up for WFC, and are moving to that product extra fast too.

    Why would Midtown Comics list Amazon exclusives? Wouldn't that be like Walmart revealing the latest Target excusives?
