The Energon Pub

So today i finished watching all the G1 US cartoons (over a week, not in one day...lol)and decided to take some pics of toys.

Ah yes, bling bling. Very nice.

Seriously, that is a very cool collection.

Yeah, I like the big Optimus Prime and Megatron and then some of their men in little figures

Nice 360 too

Man, it's massive. So jealous, you have a G1 Blurr!

I shoulda got the 42" Panasonic Plasma in too. A 360 is useless unless its in High Def.

And I've only been collecting for about 3 months. I get new stuff every other day.

Can't..........stop.........browsing.........ebay.....

I didn't notice how truly long that sword was until I was looking at the pics I took.

I wholeheartedly agree with the 42" Panasonic. I have the same setup myself.

Damn. Only 3 months...and I thought I had financial re$ource$!

Major props on a lot of the G1 stuff...that boxed Ultra Magnus is SWEET!

Got the Gigastorm re-issue also I see, and TWO Brave Maximuses?!

Now what the F*** do you need TWO of those for, really?! Now the Decepticons have next to no chance of getting that space bridge operational again!

Autobot scrap!

Ah that boxed Magnus is a reissue. The MIB Prime under it is a real G1.

I've got the reissue Prime too. I need to get the box back out for it.

Two Braves because....well because.....accident. lol

I bid $152 and actually won the second one. Missing: Spike, Cerebros gun, and the Satellite dish.

I am assuming any headmaster will fit. Zarak fits but thats sacrilegious. I've got another one in mind if I don't take it up the pooper on a Spike (which $40 is the most I want to spend). Haha!

I have one nearly complete and two headless G1 Scorponoks, and for $***s and giggles, I put Spike into Scorponok...it just...felt...so...wrong.

All I know is I want a Black Zarak and its too damn pricey for a toy!

i like the way to displayed them.

I think next weekend I'm going to get another shelf. I have absolutely no more shelf space left.

Also EXTREMELY fragile.

All of the gold pieces on Black Zarak shatter almost to the touch, something about the plastics used in their production. Also, the golden paint flakes off almost at will.

On top of this, I heard of a guy who went to a Botcon and bought a Black Zarak MISB, spent well over $1500 for the damned thing...only to open it and find many of the gold pieces were broken already.

Can't surf eBay to get replacements. Just SOL.

So, for the cash, Victory Leo/Star Saber is a better bet, with more bang for your buck.

But hey, I swore to myself NEVER to spend more than $200 on ANY Transformer. That is why Victory leo, Star saber, Black Zarak, etc. will never be mine.

But that is fine by me.

So Cool!
But MP Megatron, MP Prime and the Robot Heroes teaming up against Supy! Pore man of steel!

I've heard that too but wonder if they really are THAT fragile.

I am sure the rep. speaks for itself.
