We’re kicking your Friday up a notch with a new toy reveal. It seems that the Power of the Primes line is about to dare to be stupid, with Wreck-Gar joining the lineup!
Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar was revealed yesterday on the official Transformers page of the Russian social networking site Vkontakte. The toy is a redeco of the Combiner Wars / Unite Warriors Deluxe scaled Groove figure, with a new head. Those who remember the Combiner Wars line might recall that this is not the first time that Wreck-Gar’s noggin has found itself on Groove’s body – Combiner Wars had a Legends class Groove who also got retooled into the Junkion leader. The image shows Wreck-Gar holding a Power of the Primes Prime Armor accessory from the Dinobots, and there is no other indication of whether Wreck-Gar might get some new accessories along with this Prime Armor.
This is not the first we’ve heard of a new Wreck-Gar being in the works. Last July, a listing was found in Walgreens’ computer system, alluding to the existence of this figure. This is the first we’ve heard of this release since that time, but we’d presume on the basis of the previous news that this figure will be headed to the US as a new Walgreens exclusive somewhere down the line.

Most asian sellers on evay have this listed for October/November, so I’d expect it to start showing up more around that time frame.
Jacer
Not yet.

Is this toy out in any Walgreen in USA yet?

Do we know when this will start shipping? I’m on the east coast so I’m assuming I won’t see it till October

If this ever gets redone as a Junkion I'll have to get one (or more!) but the RTS Wreck-Gar seems so much better, to me, that I won't be replacing him.

Wreck Gar just makes more sense with the Wreckers combiner, "Wreckage". They're quirky like him. I'm pulling Bluestreak off of Wreckage and making a Lost Light combiner with Ultra Magnus (Battle Core Prime with reprolabels), Rodimus, Smokescreen, Hound, Trailbreaker, and Bluestreak.
My Ultra Prime is snagging up Wheeljack, Jazz, Sunstreaker, and Mirage while Prowl, Irohide, and Silverbolt are playing Magnaboss. This leaves Sky Reign with the Arialbots, which makes more sense.

Aslo noticed the axe ain't shorter nor does the instructions match the cardpic.

Well this is another figure i need to get so that makes 5 exclusive to get this yr from Hasbro. Thankfully i am able to get those 4 from Amazon but this wreckgar is a different story so far. I guess time will tell when and how it can be ordered.

This Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar is toy accurate to the vintage G1 Wreck-Gar toy counterpart, I am loving this Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar

That's about what I figured – glad I saved myself the drive and the effort! Thanks!

I love how by accident Wreck-Gar gives any combiner he joins with a new weapon.

Walgreens lists ALL deluxes as the same stock number. We had the same issue back when Brainstorm first showed up.

I had "2-5 in-stock" so I checked on my lunch break: View attachment 28044425

Apparently I'm surrounded by them according to this site.
I'm willing to bet that's a lie.

I was only 5 minutes away from my walgreens & decided to stop in & check after the news his page was on their site. I took a look. Nada, nyet, nunya, zippo, zilch, & by the way none. Oh well, at least I picked up a crossword book.
RobimusPrime
Yes. The same in my area. Chances are you’ll find nothing but Titans Return and/or Power of the Primes deluxes there.
