The Energon Pub

Finally received my Optimus Primal on Saturday 14 of August. Took 4 months and 3 weeks of overseas and painful waiting. But the boss monkey is in the house. Without a doubt Kingdom Primal is a amazing figure and a must have for any Transformers fan. I'm still surprised they managed to compress so many features into a voyager and keep it up the size height scale with siege voyager optimus prime

Be careful with his fists if you turn them for posing his swords. Those pegs aren't sealed and they can pop off. The fists aren't easy to re-attach.

A random eBay haul because at 35$can shipped for the lot, why not?

Got 3 Bee Movie Energon Igniters! I never had any before and I always at least wanted Soundwave.

Ironically Soundwave is the weakest of this trio. The bot is basically just the truck flipped over and the rolling gimmick do not work. To add insult to injury, that kick-ass minionimals sticker is just on one side of the van. Lame.

Optimus is just your standard Optimus.

Ironhide is the best of the bunch. If I forgive the lack of articulations of the bot, this may be one of the best movie Ironhide toy ever! He's seriously that good.

My turn to finally have SS Grindor!

News Credits: 101 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Fri Aug 27, 2021 12:21 pm

Today I went TF hunting and as usual, everywhere was a barren wasteland. Because I didn't wanted to have wasted all that time, I had to get something. So why not, Cyberverse Skullcruncher at full price.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn......... :shock:

This guy is goooooooooooooood!

I'll say more in the Cyberverse thread.

Finally got me an Origin Bumblebee! It wasn't listed on Target.com as in stock so it must have slipped through the cracks as it was the only one there (and only one I've seen). It was on the endcap with the same T-Wrecks figures that have been sitting there for weeks.

Not surprising nobody wanted to buy it...

Woof, that box is pretty well crushed, the minimum plastic didn't do it any favors. Figure seems fine otherwise, no scuffs or paint marks. So that's one figure I won't have to hunt anymore, though I would like a second one in better packaging to hold onto. Now I just need to find that Worlds Collide set...

Got lucky thanks to Target and the surprise way early Blurr shipping

A nice haul. That Bumblebee was a real nice thrift store find, Odin from Walmart, Rogue from Toysrus and Hot House from Winners (TJMaxx).

What do you think of Nitro Bee? I've always thought the leg transformation was one that should have been revisited in later Bees, but never really was.

I bought that magnificent Miku figure at Amazon.jp.

But to make shipping worthwhile, I added my friend's B-Day for next month, Top Gun Maverick. Hell like it for sure and the price was pretty reasonable at below 4k yen.

I never, ever saw that Maverick in store. Not even online appart eBay. I wonder what it's price was in Canada, if it appeared at all? :-?

And here is my fun haul.

3 of those are imports, but the G2 ramjet was simply found in stores.

Grats on getting your Scareglow. Sandstorms supposedly on his way soon for those that preordered him a year ago here (hope that's the same for others), kinda good to hear that he hasn't been left overseas o.O

I'm having fun with this guy. Actually looks pretty good, and I must have lucked out because mine isn't loose.

I finally opened my set too and I found Fangry not too bad. Legs won't peg together as tight as Twinferno for the beast mode, but that's it's only problem.

Mine work fine, I just wish there was a better way to store his wolf head in robot mode. And this shot is just for you:

You finally got him!
Only his orange friend remain.

BTW, what do you do with the "dice" of the World Collide set? I use it as Fangry's chest stuffing. I can put in his chest even with the headmaster in.

Its still attached to the cardboard, just like Bee. I'm considering selling Bee, but I'm debating keeping the big green cannon for Ironhide.

A Bunch of combined hauls from over the past month (and more specifically this past week.)

Had managed to find Origins Bee at Target a while ago when looking for the Worlds Collide set, (no luck yet). Got a damaged box/discounted Kingdom Magnus from Entertainment earth. Speaking of which, I had to cancel my Entertainment Earth preorder for the Ark since I found it on Gamestop's site for same price and while I was at it, got Wingfinger from there too for a $18.89 sale. And also canceled preorder for Transmutate when Gamestop had her under the sale too. Red Alert when Hasbro Pulse had him up for brief moment, Grindor from Amazon when a $41.99 sale was up, And the entire Combiner Wars Protectobots team from Ebay for a good price.

Another person who got Pac Man! Your haul seems to be as wide ranging as mine, and I appreciate that! It's a great haul!

Got one of my own
