The Energon Pub

I dont know if you need your figures to be MISB and include instructions, but for tankor (and roadbuster) I just saw a great opportunity to get them loose and new (fresh off the production line) online:

Time to try out the AOE leader? Especially at that price?

Or will you wait 10 years to luck uppon him at a garage sale?

id say leader grimlock is totally worth it at that price. shame theres only 2 leaders to choose from cause i have em both already.

Buying AOE Leader Grimlock in an hour. I will pose him with my DOTM deluxe sivler knight. Leader Optimus can wait 10 years for a garage sale or village des valeurs.

Oh yeah, dunno why I forgot about Grimmy. He's way better than expected I assure you. Also, his transforamtion is more complext than is appear. It's not really clear but that part that stumped me when trying to transform him without manual is that from robot to dino, you have to pull his torso up HARD. It's locked real tight and it's not really clear that it's a part that move. Even in the manual!
You'll like Leader Grimmy, I'm sure of it.

well its a shame that sale doesnt include voyagers, since i just found these on the way home....

Man, I wish they had what I just found at my local toysrus (off Decarie/Jean Talon Montreal) on sale: A whole stock of YOTH Prime. DAMN You TRU! I would have bought this a few months ago when these were on a 25% off sale, but since then I ordered the rerelease of MP 10.
But still, this is insane, think about it guys, this is a picture from a TRU in Quebec!

149.99$ + tax, I will be paying about the same amount in the end for the MP-10 asia rerelease (around 180$). And I get a nice Key to vector sigma!

now dont get me wrong, YOTH prime is awesome, i have and love it. but it aint the same as an actual MP10. dont feel bad about ordering him then stumbling on a horsey prime, with remorse. you still made a good choice.

found this one on the way home from work today. unfortunately its the exact price of two leader figures, but thats to be expected i guess. and these would have been so bought if it werent for takaras black knight grim and knight prime remold.

Tankor and Rattrap spotted at my local Walmart at Laval.



Also, the Optimus Prime Evolution 2 pack is also at my local TrU at Laval. I already own Evasion OP and I have the Classic mold 3 times. So, that's a 50$ that will stay in my pocket.

AMAZING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!! Now I am struggling with the thought of maybe waiting for the price on that 2 pack to go down.

That's OPTIMUS PRIME. 2 voyagers at only 25$ each instead of 30$. A CLASSIC mold is included, not a poopy Energon one. That TrU only have 3 in stock. Don't wait. Buy now. If you are greedy toward this set, some greedier scalper will take them first and that will be it.

And here's a pic for those interested.

Oh and those 3 platinum primes are gone, I guess the scalpers got them (or the language police)

rattrap, tankor, and prime evolution pack. great news guys thanks!

The Transformers Prime Kinder Surprise 3 pack has been spotted in a Quebec grocery store (Maxie & Cie. corner Papineau and Cremazie, in Montreal). It sells for 3.29$ cdn.

What is great is that unlike previous themed figures, which only had 1 or 2 every egg in the pack, this series has a limited figure in each egg. The gimmick is that they come in pieces that can be assembled and then mix and matched with others. Below are examples of Soundwave and Ratchet.

They sell these as individual Kinders at Dollarama. 1$ each. I got Ratchet and Bulkhead twice. The base concept is nice, but the quality is horrible. Limbs fly off if you look at them wrong.

Are you guaranteed to get a Transformer in those?

Also, I was wondering why the states did not get them yet and as it turns out, they are banned. Here is what happens when you sneak in a kinder surprise (from wiki):

In January 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatened a Manitoba resident with a $300 (Canadian dollars) fine for carrying one egg across the U.S. border into Minnesota.[13] In June 2012, CBP held two Seattle men for two and a half hours after discovering six Kinder Surprise eggs in their car upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to Vancouver. According to one of the men detained, a border guard quoted the potential fine as US$2,500 per egg.[14]

Wave 3 of AOE has been spotted at retail. I found Hot Shot at Walmart in Laval. That means Snarl and the updated Bumblebee are near.

Also, I saw the 2 pack of Flip and Change Grimlock and Smash and Change Optimus.

Hey Kanrabat,

Want to see something amazing, this is what TRUs outside of quebec look like:

Meanwhile in my local TrU:
1steps everywhere. AOE deluxe line one wave behind. No generations deluxes. Jetfire at 60$. Hero-Mashers aplenty. Lots of Prime BH deluxes. The only exclusives are the Grimlock and OP 2 packs.

Sigh...

first time ive seen these (local TRU):
-breakout battle 3 pack ($69.99)
-autobots united 5 pack ($129.99)

I was just wondering, has anyone seen the Walmart exclusive AOE figures in Canada yet? I have only ever seen the 3 pack with Strafe and the 2 legion characters, along with the individual legion repaints. But I never saw the Beastwars and Energon repaints. Have they only appeared in the states so far?
