The Energon Pub

I'm disgruntled today. Ever since I sold a huge chunk of my collection I thought that I'd be happy with a smaller ecleptic mix of figures.

Now after reading two or thread threads here I want to get myself RID Prime and Magnus (yup, I used to have them) and a couple of Binaltechs.

What made matters worse was that I popped into Woolies to see whether they had the Magnus/Skywarp two pack. I then took a closer look at Bumblebee and Starscream and the figures actually look pretty good. Curse me for my plastic crack addition!

Oh well, I think that I'll be in a better frame of mind when I get my Brave Exkaiser.

BTW I've now got a moving date for Ireland and it's mid-June!

Tell me, Jetfire, are you experiencing the same feelings as a man who decied to chuck away / sell his toys as a child?

Good luck with the move, by the by.

I know the feeling. I never could get over the loss of my G1 Scorponok.

Alas, I don't think I ever forgave my Father for getting me to pass my original figures

A little - some figures I don't miss, but there are some which really rocked. Mostly the Binaltechs.

Thanks about the move - I've bubble-wrapped all my remaining TFs so nothing short of a nuclear winter will damage those babies!

Now I just have to think of a way of 'hiding' my remaing TF purchases!

I think I've found a hidden Ramjet KO on eBay

[/url]

That really is well-hidden...

Wow, nice hidden WST!

Has anyone heard from Doughbot recently?

I met up with him a few weeks back when I bagged Predaking off him. I know that he's moving house which is probably a nightmare (I'll know in a few weeks for myself!) so perhaps drop him a PM and see?

He's a nice bloke so it might just be something simple holding him up?

Yes, I've sent him a PM so I'll wait until he's free and easy!

He's a nice guy, but I dont think he's gonna go on a date with you!

Yey. Longstacks for my 20th Prime came today. He looks alot better with them attached. Hmm, I wonder if I can find a use for his shortstacks on my custom Streak. Perhaps as a nitro tank.

Depends if you buy him some nice parts for his Austin Mini

As for those old smokestakes - could they be added to Alt Prime for something - or used as missiles?

I've got him a nice corsage. That should do the trick.

I don't have alt Prime, but I did find they clip nicely over those pegs on Strek's foremarms. Sorta like mini pistols attatched. They look canny good. Outburn is one badass looking dude now.

Dont get alt Prime.

He's shite.

And who/what is Strek?

Whoops. Sometimes I type faster than I think and I mispell things. I meant Streak as in Alt SilverStreak which I've customised into Outburn. A black car with chrome behind his rear wheels, dark red flames over his front wheels, a chrome exaust under each side of his doors (which splits for transformation) and changed alleigance to a Decepticon. And now he has chrome guns on his forearms.

And don't worry, I have no intention of getting Alt Prime. 20th Prime (the good original one) is leading that merry band of alts.

still waiting for my Ironhide and Thrust to show up from eBay

Woolies in Reading finally got some Classics Magnus-Skywarp sets in.
But they are priced at £29.99

I still haven't seen the bloody UM and Skywarp set.

Ironhide and Thrust showed up today, pics to come...but I did see Magnus/Skywarp sets in argos and woolies

I have seen the Classics UM and SW two pack round quite a bit lately. Are you sure they were priced at £30?
They've always cost £15 round these parts...

hmm...

argos had em at 29.97, while woolies had em at 19.99

My Woolies (well, Big W) has a few of them marked as 'half price' - £14.99 from an alleged original £29.99. But they definitely haven't been on sale at that price in the store, unless it was for a day or so at most (time between checks).

I thought there was some legal minimum time they had to be on sale at the higher price to claim it as a reduction? (Unless they're using some smaller Woolies stores to fulfil that requirement...)

If you order UM/SW through WW big red book they have no choice but to charge you 14.99. I ordered mine that way last week, (they had none in stock)then when I went to pick them up there was a load on the shelf. That about somes up there distribution.
