The Energon Pub

I got the TRU commemoratives I'd been seeking on Ebay for the low price of $30.68 apiece shipped. I think that's not a bad deal considering there was another auction with two less figures that went for over $900 last week that got to be too rich for my blood. Patience persevered! But like I said, my wife's gonna freak when this shows up at our doorstep.

Woops! I put this in the wrong forum. I meant for it to be in the Toys forum. Can someone move it there please?

Sure can!

Nice haul. Now all you need is a junker vintage Skywarp to get a decent nosecone from. And replacement missiles/launchers for some of those if you want to go for full authenticity. I could have done with picking up more of the early releases while they were at retail but one way or another the core G1 cast will come into my possession over time.

Yeah, your a dead man.

I've never spent that much on that big of a haul. Even though it actually saves you in the long run, I have to buy piece by piece to keep things below the radar.

Although, I don't buy a lot of TF's, I'm very choosey, so I'd never really have a reason to buy that many at once


Wait, what the hell was the point of me posting again?

ditto, i believe i'd get my head split open if i pulled off that move

Thats ridiculous, he scored huge here. If he had slowly purchased these over time they would have cost him over $1500 easily. Lot buys almost always end with a bargain.

Plus they make him happy, so why should his wife be upset about that, unless he spent his kids college tuition or something? I cannot stand grown men scared of women.

After I explain that I bargain shopped...maybe she'll understand.

I just said she'd freak, I didn't say I was scared of her.

The way it averages out, the only one I spent way over on is Rodimus Major (Hot Rod). I got all the seekers under their retail price. I got OP and UM under retail price. The other cars are just over by a few cents. Astrotrain is 6 bucks over. It was at 510 until the last minute when someone tried to snipe it. I hate it when people do that.

Guess again, I am married. My wife and I simply treat each other with respect. Neither of us has any authority over the other.

Men who let women call the shots have no one to blame but themselves. If they grew a set, they could have maintained a partnership rather than a authoritarian/subordinate relationship.

I am not talking about being the dominate presence either. Just an even partnership where both opinions carry the same weight.

I dont know where all the men with balls went.

for the record I was joking. But not all women are reasonable. Take my wife ,for instance, she uses the "clothes are a need" argument WAAAAAAY too far. I agree that you need 1 pair of shoes...not 25. Which is where her unreasonableness comes in. She "needs" her 26th pair of shoes more than I "want" a Transformer... But for the most part she's awesome and I think slowly becoming a fan in her own right

Boys will be boys and women will be mons.....women...

This is where I really miss the Philosopher's Forum...

That is a true steal man!

In all honesty I am engaged and my wife to be loves that I have hobbies and fully supports them (if the bank account will )

But I can understand why some one would be pissed at that but thats not a purchase thats an investment!

Isn't this the point where you get banned for being "overly opinionated or flaming other users?"

Hey, when she kills you can I get your figures?

Dude, YA THINK! If I had that delivered to my house, my mom would go into cardiac arrest!

BTW: you're missing one.

Which one?

Didn't say she'd kill me. She just won't be happy mostly because it's "cluttering"

I think people would only start getting banned if we posted pics to prove we had some.

Well, she's clearly going to beat him to death with Ulta Magnus, so you won't be able to get that one.

I'm joking, of course. No woman knows who Ultra Magnus is, so she'd have to beat him to death with Optimus Prime.

They appear to be all there, unless you decide to count Soundwave and Pepsi Prime. I think they did come out under to commemorative series banner (at least Soundwave did).

So yeah, if you spot one missing - which one?

Are you independently wealthy, where your wife wouldn't care if you dropped over $600 at once, on Transformers? 'Cause that sort of thing doesn't really show the partner much respect. Not saying someone shouldn't do it, but it's bound to be a shock to the unsuspecting partner.
And it's a joke. Lighten up.

Nice haul!
I think I have all of the commerative reissues that I wanted. No, I missed (passed ) on Ultra Magnus, but I bought the older Takara reissue, so at least I have him. They're great, aren't they?
