The Energon Pub

Hey, for those of you with the extra Pepsi Primes, one of my buddies on a different forum is looking for one and I wanted to see if I could hook him up if one of you guys would be willing to sell one.

I read a few titles, TFs, GI JOE related--(STORMSHADOW!!!), Sinestro Corps stuff, Mouse Guard, Ironfist, the occasional TMNT, World War Hulk, JLA/JSA, Wolverine, X-Men, Star Wars Legacy, Rebellion, Etc.--

So yeah, I read a few, but am looking to cut way back-- I cannot get myself to quit X-Men. I've been reading it since I was but a lad (story of my life with my collections--since I was a lad--).

Well, it might also be more fun here because we were 'grandfathered in' as more than a sitings thread, we are much like the disgrunteled Brits, we talk about pretty much anything, but it centers around Tfs, and toys in general.

But TFPredaking is right about one thing we are all pretty old hats at being members of this site, either active or passive.

And I am not sure that crazy line correctly describes all of us, we are quirky--I mean we collect toys and comics, and come talk about it on the internet rather than go hang out with actual people-- quirky...

We do have the more frequent gatherings which as has been stated, boosts relationships.

JTK-- I have to say, I am officially jealous of your newest haul. It would be perfect if it had the 2nd and 3rd waves of 25th Joes in it.

You are quite the hunter. Huzzah to JT! "HUZZAH!"

I know I speak for many of us when I say we prefer to be called the Michigan thread. Many of us do not like Michigan State with a passion...

Since you obviously have Michigan roots you are always welcome here, especially since you have an U of M alumn in your gene pool. We'll forgive you the MSU part.

If you find a way let me know. I was not aware that alcohol was a factor on the actual internet and I'd like to know how.

Stop by anytime skyblast. We don't discriminate. It helps if you talk Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, U of M, MSU, or about other local happenings, like our state's budget crisis, our state's job crisis, the state of our state's highways, or you can talk like a 'yupper' (or Canadian, I suppose).

JT, I want that gold coin Darktrooper. Heck, I just want a darktrooper, and then a UGH to keep minty...were they at TRU? And I can't believe you actually bought more Pit Droids (and Battle Droids too:P )/jk---.

Amen to that!

BIG UPDATE FOR MY EASTSIDERS! Walmart at 12 miles had every single wave one deluxe, and many many Voyage Megs, Thudercrackers, and a few primes...(there is one less Prime and Thundercracker when I left.). They also had lots and lots of 20th anniversary primes...at 70 bucks each. BUt if you missed it get it now.

Also saw lots of dropkicks, longarms, Final Battle Jazz, new scouts, Ult BB, and FAB BBs over at the !5 mile Target.

West Lansing Wal-Mart still has a couple Dropkick's and Rescue Ratchets along with the newish Real Gear stuff.

They also have a bunch of the Wal-Mart Robot Replica 2 Packs. I picked one of those up.

So here were all today's sightings in Canton (I had to go to Joann's, but ended up going everywhere else to check figs):


Kohls
* Deluxe -- Longarm x2, Recon Barricade x2, Payload x5, Dreadwing x3, Wreckage x2
* Voice Changers x3
* KO "Modifighters" Skullface (it's a yellow Mustang)

Target
* Deluxe -- Arcee x3, Barricade x2, Bonecrusher x2, Brawl x4, Dropkick x1, Jazz x2, Scorponok x3, Wreckage x6
* Scouts -- Air Raid x1, Armorhide x1, Clocker x1, Elita-one x3
* Titanium 3" Movie Figs -- Bumblebee x0 (I picked this one up), Blackout x1, Brawl x1, Ironhide x1, Jazz x2, Megatron x2, Optimus Prime x1
* Titanium 3" -- Rodimus x1
* Leader -- Brawl x2, Megatron x2
* Ultimate BB x7
* Unleashed Optimus x5

Meijer
* Titanium -- Cheetor
* Titanium 3" -- Grimlock x5, Predaking x1, Scorponok x1, Smokescreen x5
* Real Gear -- Booster x2, Longview x1, Power Up x1
* Legends -- Megatron x1
* Cy Slammers -- Bumblebee x2, Brawl x4, Ratchet x2
* Leader -- Brawl x4, Megatron x2

I was glad to see the Kohls had updated its stash. I'm still looking for Voyager Blackout... Target's website says that they have him at the Dearborn Target, but it's a bit of a hike for me. Please keep an eye out for him for me, k?

By the way, someone (can't remember who, sorry!) mentioned they wanted me to find out which GI Joe figs are around. Which kind in particular do you want me to keep track of?

That was me, 25th anniversary 3.75 inch please...

I'm going to have to try to beat Andrew to KOhl' to grab another Lion's Barricade.

Too late for me now. I took an afternoon nap. But if it is not, grab the other for me?

Highbeam, I did see at least two Blackouts at the Westland TRU today, but that was early, around noon.

Hm, I doubt they'll still be there on Monday when I could wander over there. I've got a car show to hang at tomorrow, so I can't check then.

well, hopefully this'll be the last time I have to say this..

Greetings from Ireland!

for the newer people around here, this is my third trip over here this year. I wish it was for vacation, but unfortunately, work is involved.

I'm over here for a week and a half this time. flew overnight. it's a 10 am here, 5 am at home, so if any of you are actually out of bed right now.... um.. there's something wrong with you I will have no sightings to post more than likely. not that they'd do you all any good

well, here's hoping I can get some caffiene here soon and stop looking like this

I think you enjoy these Irish trips. The trying to pick up ladies with your American macho-ismo kind of thing.

i also forgot to tell every one I saw the new cobra what 5 pk...it is really really cool...not a gijoe guy but it was sooo cool I almost got it.

also good news I got my BB 2 pk today. And target had the Arm Blaster with bonus FAB prime I took a pic on my phone when I get a chance I will post it if you guys want.

yeah, somehow my american machoismo doesn't really seem to work. maybe if I had lots of money.....

Hey JTKranix, were there any more of those Black Suit Supermans there? I've been looking at all the Big Lots around here and nothing.

Nope, that was the only one at my big lots. They had a bunch of other figures from that wave though.

OH another thing I almost forgot....When I went shopping last night we found a Brawl with international packaging....it was pretty cool...my friend got it since he didnt have one yet and thought it was really cool

i thought i posted this friday. i was so tired i feel asleep at the computer. walmart also had the FF legends spidey legends and the legends 2packs. they also had the prime helmet w/free tech gear for $20. i bought one thundercracker there. unlike starscream his missles dont fire off when you look at him.

Northwoods Outlet in Pinconning Michigan has some GI joe sigma six figures if anyone is interested....

Did some pregame / post game hunting.

I stashed an Animated Fett above the Avatar: The Last Airbender display if anyone needs him at Westland TRU. I was looking for Wave 2 25th Joes, no luck, did see Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow acouple different places, nothing else of note.
