The Energon Pub

by **decepta-scott** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:57 am

That krogers, rite aid and walgreens stock the RTS line? I know alot of fans (myself included) have a hard time finding certain figs and I hadnt seen these locations posted as stores that carry the line so I thought Id let you guys know.
Also, I work at walmart so let me know if I can pick anything up for you guys.
I know where to find Blur, Red alert, Dirge, Cupp, Turbo tracks, Jazz, cybertronian megatron and soundwave.(as of yesterday eight p.m.) I can also find the usual peg warmers but who cant?
I was also wondering which mud flap was the one folks are having a hard time finding? I ask because There are a few of them at Kroger, t.j.max and rite aid but they are all different lines. If I can pick any of these up for fellow pub members let me know and I will do so for cost plus shipping.
Take care,
Scott

Oh. O.k. so no new news here then. I figured some folks had stumbled across them but wanted to let the masses know. Thanx.

Which is odd. Any other toy called Mudflap is a shelfwarmer (to the point both Cybertron Mudflap and the movie repaint Mudflap were on the same shelf!), yet Human Alliance is desired by everyone.

Well, not exactly... Had it been released in the same quantities as HA Skids, it too woulda warmed shelves equally. Sure does look desirable, though, when 1000 people want it but only 500 are made available. I'm sure those numbers are off, but the point isn't. I bet the interest level in HA Mudflap in all reality was moderately low, but the availability just happened to be minute...which in turn increases the interest group a little to include scalpers and people that get jollies off having rare pieces in their collection.

Actually, it never occurred to me check those places as well.
I was going to Marshalls, Ross and Kohls, but not like, drug store type places.

What isn't mentioned, though, is you're going to pay a premium if you find and purchase these figures from Walgreens and the like. Expect to pay anywhere between $15 - $17 for a deluxe. And I wouldn't really expect to score any of the late wave figs that skipped over your local Targets and Walmarts either...

I'd say "Except me", but they finally got me with the DoTM Basics...

Never seen any TF's in Kroger, but I remember them selling Revenge of the Sith figures back when the movie came out.

Walgreens, they usually have some TF's but last time I was in there, I think it was all Animated stuff.

Right on, brother, I can completely relate. 'Cept my Walgreens had Tracks once. Too bad I got him 2 weeks prior.

I don't avidly hunt Human Alliance.

I do want a Human Alliance Jazz though.

After HA Sideswipe didn't live up to the awesomeness that was already in his deluxe counterpart it was hard for me to justify the price of them.

Anyone else remember that Alternators were $20. The HA replaced them basically and now they are $30.

Alternators are also smaller with less engineering involved (weapons, drivers, extensive robot detail). For $30, you're getting a fantastic Transformers figure that is well worth the money.

If the figure your refering to is the larger jazz with the small human figure "if you can call it a figure" with him we have a couple of him at my walmart. If you want him Ill pick him up for you but you gotta pay for your figure and shipping.
Also we have the dotm shock wavw which I have read is hard to find. As far as that mud flap goes I havnt seen the one with human alliance. Sorry all.
My drug stores sell their toys at pumped up prices as well but if your willing to pay the 13.00-17.00(Ill send you a recipt if you wish) I will pick em up for ya. Wal greens has jazz (I thought he was a hard to find, very sought after figure) turbo tracks, mind set, and a couple other rts figures I cannot recall the names of. They come with a sheet that shows the rts figures that are out and between the four drug stores that I frequent they seem to have them all. Every once and awhile they will get in a bumble bee and wreck gar. I picked up bee, but have unable to score a wreck gar. Jazz bumble bee and wreck gar are the only three that you may have to come back a few times for.

Was in a Marshalls today. Only TF in the entire store was one HFTD Jolt. Oh, and they also had one Iron Man Crossovers figure with the package already opened, if you count those.
