The Energon Pub

as much as i hate to interrupt all this fiddling with the cabin boy (you know who you are), i have a few brit related MP Megs questions:

1) Is he available from any shop (online or not) in the UK?

2) What does British Law say about toy guns? Do we need the stupid orange plugs?

3) Does anyone think that Takara will NOT make a 'perfect edition' with the stock and silencer in a year or two? i.e. is it worth watiting to get him (assuming i get a job)?

I'm not the cabinboy!

1) Yes closeencounters, a comicshop in Bedford, is soposed to have him but not on the website, so you'll have to order him by phone ore email.
http://closeencounters.co.uk/

2) As for as I'm concerned no, never saw one ecept for Classics Megs.

3) Don't know, but just incase, get him wile He's still "cheap!" I've got him and I could care less about the stock.
You could get him now and if Takara releases a perfect version youcan easaly sell him and something els and get the new one.
Oh and F the speling, try to write 3 languages the you can muck me for that!
And I'm not the cabinboy!

Play.com also have him for £89.99 inc. delivery :

http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/ ... oduct.html

I got mine from NeonMartian. He's out of stock at the moment but they have re-stocked a couple of times before so it's worth keeping an eye on it. He's only £68.95 there but you'll pay a few quid shipping.

The one from NeonMartian is definately un-modified and as far as i can tell so is the one from Play.com.

Arrr been searching for them ellusive blighters me self!
So far although ive mentioned it every couple of pages theres been no firm sightings just suggestions of where to trybut so far no luck

I managed to pick them both up at my local TRU a month or so back. They never did seem to get any more Ironhide figures in but they still had plenty of Starscream when i was there a few days ago.

Are the Movie deluxes REALLY out?

So far all I've seen of the deluxes is ONE Wreckage (which I bought) hidden amongst the shed loads of FABS every TrU seems to have.

Also, if you only buy one FAB (and I recomend you only buy one fab), make it FAB Brawl, he's a great tf, very nice and posable (especilly compaired to the POS that is FAB Starscream).

Hmm, ive been regularly been looking at Play.com's range of TFs for a while now but somehow managed to miss the fact that they had MP Megs, Im glad Play.com have himcoz ive used Play.com for many DVDs and games and ive never had a problem with them, just hope he is still in stock when I get a job

Maybe ill get one of those Destron Monarch KOs and keep it in gun mode, save faffing about with MP Megs

edit: hmm they also seem to now have the entire upcoming line of movie toys, including Voyager Prime and the Thundercracker repaint

Play.com's range has got better of late. I will be purchasing MP Megs off of them, and maybe the rest of the Classics. Plus I have my Ucas card, so I can get 10% off!

F*** mine whon't work, I suspect.

Yars! It's times like these that make up for Bridgnorth being full of old people that discriminate against teenagers!

I was so happy to see that the Ucas card got me Play.com discount. As well as driving lesson discounts. That'll be useful in coming months

Arr, no yer not. You were promoted. Though I still don't trust ye with me parrot. I'm watching you.

I don't need a pirate. I have two hooks-for-hands and two peg-legs.

And an eye patch

Ahoy mateys, I be sailing back from me local TRU and it seems they be having most of the deluxes, but not in the main TF display. I found the beauties on the shelves where they used to be during the cybertron series.

heres a list of the deluxes that be stowin away in TRU's mighty hold, yaarr!!!

Bumblebee (blasted fat tab version)
Jazz
Wreckage
Brawl
Barricade
Scorponok

any of this booty worth purchasing?

and Master Blaster, Ye should have TWO eyepatches

Aargh! I just ordered the ultimate guide for a meager 6.99 gold pieces. Aargh! Hopefully, it'll be well worth it! Aargh!

Yar, I tried two eye patches for a time, but I found it stopped me from seeing the booty that lines the toy shelves in my local. Oh wait, they're just EMPTY

Argh, I be surmising that Wreckage is worth it, and while Jazz is a good figure, I'd wait till the G1 redeco. Brawl looks good, but land lubbers be havin trubbles with his shoulders.
Barricade is good, but not me cup o tea personally. And 97 BB or whatever it's called is a POS. Wait for the 08 version. Way better.

But at the end of the day, it be at yer disgressions. Yar.

Arrggh! thank ye for ye wisdom master blaster, I'll be waitin till after the movie before I collect me movie booty.

(jeez, this pirate talking is addictive )

Great fig but yeah, the shoulder phuq me off rather a lot!

Wreakage is my fave Con with Blackout an insanely close second.

Arr, why does ye think thar be over 10 pages of it?

And 97 BB or whatever it's called is a POS. Wait for the 08 version. Way better.

have the '76 BB (or 74 or whatever the smeg it is)and i really like it, it has a slight case of giant clown feet but its really quite a good figure, but on the other hand, if you are only planning on getting one BB then wait for the '08 (or is it 09...doeas anyone know for sure?) coz it looks so much better from the pics at least

ps: Yarrr!!!

Wreckage
Swindle
08 BB
