The Energon Pub

I just checked out my local Kohl's, and they moved what's left of the movie toys into an endcap. I suppose I should've asked them about it, but it really wouldn't have mattered, since I don't have any money to begin with. I was in the area and just had time to kill.

I will go there again on Wednesday and ask someone. Or, even better, I'll probably call in first and have them hold me one or two.

My girlfriends mom works at Kohls as the pantyland department head (between her and my gf being a manager at Walmart, you'd think I'd have all sorts of hookups!) and she knows me and her daughter have been buying movie transformers. Now she has no idea what we're after, but she told us Kohls had some. So she goes in the next morning, and I get this frantic call "we have bumblebee!!!!". She's kind of a spaz about stuff and never really checks it out properly, so I didn't really have high hopes, but stopped in to see her anyway. Sure enough, I go back there to toys and started laughing my ass off. They had Bumblebee alright, but it was that stupid pop-up battler thing. She thought we were hot on the trail of that ghetto thing. Man, she must think we're idiots if she thought that would get us excited. But since we have a 08BB already, it wasn't a big deal. I'll just wait awhile longer to get another one. But thought it was hilarious anyway.

Hey, at least she's trying to help you. Plenty of people wouldn't lift a finger, especially a potential in-law.

She deserves a hug.

Couldn't get my arms around her if I tried.

i cant find any tf movie toys! i need megatron optimus and brawl where doyou find megatron and optimus people? oh, and brawl.

Keep trying a local Toys R Us this week. It looks like they're getting a decent shipment of voyagers at least three is my area did.

Brawl on the other hand, depends on which one you're looking for. I've seen the deluxe a few times at Kohls.

got one at kohls today!

Talked to a nice lady on the phone. She had some this morning but...they're all gone. She told me when to check back with her...hopefully I can get him soon.

im looking for leader prime and megatron and deluxe brawl. also voyager thundercracker if you see him.

The Kohls near me had a tiny toy section on the second floor with nothing worth mentioning, and it looked like a F5 Tornado hit it. Toys were on the floor everywhere, the shelves were a mess.

If you're looking for a leader class Anything, you might have to wait until the fall...The last legit leader class I saw was back in early July

You can still get Leader Prime at CostCo if you have them in your area. Last week there was a mountain of them in mine.

Kohl's in Evansville, IN had some. I bought 2 for me and a friend and another guy from allspark boards bought 3 for himself and his friends and 2 mom's and a kid bought the other 3. The case had just been put out about 15 minutes before I got there and it was wiped out in about 20 minutes. At least I don't have to worry about that anymore. Now, it's just the Target exclusives.

the kohls in my area was a disaster, there were real gear toys that had been rippped out of the package, and i had to look through all the mess, i didnt find BB but i wasnt completly dissapointed, i found voyager megatron and swindle, which is the most i've found in a long time

After scouring the Wal-Marts, Targets, and TRU's of the Lawrence/Topeka, KS area, I finally found my 08 Bumblebee at a Kohls in Topeka. Much like what other people are saying, the toy section was a mess, and 08 BB wasn't in with all the rest of the Transformers. I actually was getting ready to give up, and purchase my Arcee (which they also had) when I looked to my right and, sure enough, amongst the preschool toys, there was 08 Bumblebee...I almost couldn't believe it. All I gotta say is: 'Bout friggin time.'

Ugh...do you mean the one at Skippack Pike and 202? I drove by there today on the way home from the Riegelsville area. I'll be working over near Reading tomorrow and probably won't be able to get up there any time soon. The real b!tch of it is my wife was just there this weekend and she checked the toy section for me with no sightings.

Score. Since I had baby duty tonight, my wife stopped at Kohls while she was heading to another store...she picked me up one of the three BB's they still had on the shelf.

I went to kohls today, all I saw out was barricade and 74 bumblebee. Boy my bad luck... All I have in the movie line so far is jazz and barricade. I havent found anything else. But anyways I asked the guy if he can check in the back, and he said that he can't because there is very little in the back and all he has out is what they have in the back. I think that's a big fat lie!

theres a kohls by my work, last week i got a 74 bumble bee. they only had one, today i go in and they have another 74 bumble bee.


than tonight i went to a diff kohls , one ive never been to, it was like 9 o'clock. walk it find the aisle, and JACKPOT.

08 bumble bees galore, so i had to whore all 7.

now at kohls they are 12.99 each, but if u buy 2 u get the 2nd one for half price. than when i went to pay, they said sign up for a kohls card and get 15% off, so in the end i got 7 08 bumble bees and and arcee for 71 dollars with tax.

you can wait for tru and traget to get there 08s, but i bet if u went to 3 kohls you would find one.

Why in God's name would you need 7 Bumblebees?

This reminds of the summer of '04. Same kind of stuff with scarce distribution. Energon Downshift and Towline showed up at Kohl's before the other major retailers that summer as well.

I'm going to try some more Kohls...hopefully I'll get lucky.

Boardman, OH Kohls has a few Bumblebees, Arcees, and Dreadwings....all in the back.

Got a Bumblebee.

Finally found him at my local Kohl's. There were actually four of him, along with a few Arcees and Dreadwing. I picked up an extra for a buddy back home, but I'm tempted to open it myself. The one I chose to open has piss poor joints. They're looser than Ironhide's, and the poor guy can barely stand properly.

Awesome, they're in Nevada. Which means California isn't far away.

I checked my local Kohl's again this morning, and no change, so hopefully Thursday's the magic day.
