The Energon Pub

Ugh...did a full sweep of all the walmarts, targets, meijers, and TRUs in my area today for the new Legends (or anything new really) and came up empty-handed...I did see one more Legends Hot Rod and several Jetfire/Jetstorm 2-packs...Disappointing day though...

Well guys, a friend of mine came through, picked up Inferno and Leo Prime at Target across from the Dayton mall and the stock boys said they MAY have more coming in late next week like Thursday or Friday.
The only thing i can say is, i'm really lucky to get both, but my main concern was Inferno, didnt really care about Leo Prime, but when my friend told me that target had one of each told him to get them and pick them up last night at his place. So, be on the look out for these Transformers and ill do that same for everyone..

Lucky bastard

wal-mart in avon had waspinator and some jetfire/jetstorm packs

it also had craploads of the movie premiums and i almost pissed myself fro laughing when this kid's om thought that movie optimus prime was animated bumblebee

I'm glad to hear you got an Inferno, I hope to acquire mine within the next week or two. I'll call that Target this coming Thursday and Friday to check and see if they'll have one.

Also an old friend of mine that I found out he works at the Wal-mart in Moraine says they usually get new stock on toys every other Friday, so the next time they should have new stock is February 13th. Hopefully this on the the same day every other week. I almost forgot hope everyone enjoys the Superbowl tonight, GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!

Well guys, just like the one post talked about thats here is a price increase on Transformers deluxes figures. Went to both walmarts last night, looking for salt for the snow coming up, and decided to stop by the Transformer isle and seen that prices are $12.88 at walmart by the dayton mall and off of wilmington pike. so after both places didnt have salt and had to take Stormcloud back as well, (he's very loose and his paint app is really bad) stop by target off of wilmington pike and picked up Smokescreen and they had him for $8.99. Man, I hope the price hike isnt everywhere, otherwise I'll only be picking up the really cool figures and leave the rest. Still want the combiners coming out at Target in March/April and still dont know about TF ROTF figures yet, still need to see them in person. What are your guys views on this Jenus and TFBuyer or anyone??

I really do hate seeing they went from 7.77 to 9.96 I thought that was depressing enough then they go and raise it another 2.92 to make it 12.88 thats 73 cents more than the first increase, Dam Wal-mart! I'm pretty sure that is only a Wal-mart increase and not a Hasbro increase since no one else has raised their prices, but I guess we'll find out with in the next few weeks. Well the good thing is that there isn't many more Deluxes being released, well thats been announced so far. The only Deluxes I'm looking for is the Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl and for the Universe figures I'm pretty much done with unless they continue the line after the movie that comes out this summer and I've already got the rest of them on pre-order but I got the Henkei versions That reminds me the movie is probably going to set me back alot, I guess I better get saving.

Well guys I finally found a Leo Prime. I wasn't planning on hunting for any transformers today but I had a Dentist appointment in Riverside and I thought why not go and look around and see what I might find. My first stop was the Meijers found nothing, then TRU still found nothing, then went to the Target and found a Leo Prime and Overload. There was one of each I didn't pick up Overload since I already have a the Dropshot repaint so if anyone wants Overload he is underneath Treadshot. If anyone is still looking for the Jetfire and Jetstorm Pack the Wal-Mart in Beavercreek has 4 of them left.

Well Jenus congrats on finding Leo Prime. too me he looks very kool and starting to like the paint app. I haven't open him yet, so if you opened him let me know how he is. As far as Overload, i like his paint app better than dropshot, but i perfer to have Dropshot as a Decepticon!

Target in Springfield has 25th reissue G1 Optimus Prime marked down to $17.48. Can take pic for proof if needed.

Sorry for the delay--had to check some stores last week.

No Inferno OR Bruticus anywhere on the west side of Columbus right now, although I'm checking a couple of other places today. I'm also keeping an eye out for Wreck-gar, but with no luck on him as well...

You all will be the first to know!

Well guys, got up early this morning and went to walmart to take Starscream back, he was waaayyy too loose and just terrible paint application!! anyway, went to the walmart in moraine and they had nothing!! 1 cheetor and 1 hound and the only ultra class was Onslaught, nothing else. I was hoping to find Stormcloud or Bruticus, since I took Stormcloud back due to major defects like Starscream. Oh well another day, another walmart. For now I'll be picking up Starscream from Target and hopefully he better there..

Whoa...Waspinator? He's out already?


And, after another sweep yesterday and today, nothing new. No Bruticus, no Inferno, no Animated Wreck-gar. Fully stocked deluxes most places around here, though--Hound, Cyclonus, Cheetor, Smokescreen, Dinobot...Animated Swindle and Blazing Lockdown. Very few Legends, either. Still have only managed to get a Legends Beachcomber, and THAT was while I was on vacation in Florida in early January!

The waiting game begins again!

Well Leo Prime is a nice figure I just don't care for all the open caps within his robot mode, but other than that he is a great add to my collection and as for Dropshot I'm the same way I prefer him as a Decepticon than an Autobot.

Even though the Universe Starscream is a better repaint than his classics version I prefer the Henkei version. Like I said before the Wal-Mart in Moraine shouldn't have anything new till next Thursady or Friday and as for Stormcloud sorry but I took the last one they had about a week ago though I did see one this past Wednesday at the TRU in Beavercreek call up there and see if they still have it.

I would love to have the Henkei version of Starscream, but i just cant see paying on average of $24.00 for him, i would rather the re-issue of soundwave and all the cassettes is really what im saving for, but in the mean time, still looking for Stormcloud in which i can only get at walmart, cause they only give me store credit, not cash back, and as for Bruticus i just can't wait for him and the combiners that will be out next month or april... well, im leaving work early today, i might stop by walmart and target on wilmington pike or i might go to both by fairfield commons mall and see too.. keep me posted on anything Jenus and if i finding anything ill do the same for you..

Target in Beavercreek today had deluxes at 11.99


Meijer on Col. Glenn had some of their universe stuff on sale (voyagers - $15, Ultras $20, etc) but there was nothing even remotely new except for Wave 4 deluxes and they were normal price ($10.99)

If anyone is interested, at Target on Wilmington pike they have 2 Infernos, 1 Leo prime and 1 Overload (redeco of Dropshot) and deluxes for $8.99 still. I highly suggest picking up inferno and leo prime pretty figures to add to your collection...

Found the new Legends wave at Meijer on Wilmington today...I picked up the last wheelie and cosmos but they still have a warpath and two rodimusi left

I found animated wreck gar at the wilmington pike target today. They got lotsa cheetors and cyclonus there too.

Saw 2 TFA wrek-gars and 2 Atomic Lugnuts at Target off of Tylersville exit today. and nothing new in TFU, still same old stuff.

Has anyone seen anything about Vector prime or bruticus yet??

Stockade wrote:Has anyone seen anything about Vector prime or bruticus yet??

Nothing yet on these two, although I'm seriously considering asking you to pick up an Inferno and Wreckgar for me if you run across them--your area seems to get things well before mine.

On that note, all the newest Legends figures at the Meijers on Sawmill Rd. today--at least one of each left.

From what i seen TFBuyer, Inferno is growing on the shelves of Target, i have not seen them anywhere else and as for Wreckgar, i've only seen him at a Target as well and its about 45mins from my place.
But there's been report of someone here finding Wreckgar at Target off of feedwire road and that about 15mins or so from me and funds are limited for me getting anything. But i'll let you know what i find this way..

And, as usual, as soon as I put the vibe out there that I might want someone to take a look around, I find what I'm looking for. Well, mostly. Found Wreck-gar today at a Target in Hilliard, but still no sign whatsoever at Inferno, who is pretty much one of the last buys I intend to make before the movie hits. In fact, I'm only in the market for these guys and then taking a break:

Universe Inferno
Universe Ratchet
Universe Red Alert (release???)
Animated Waspinator
Animated Sunstorm
Animated Samurai Prowl

If I get bored during the movie, maybe I'll hunt down the Animated Ultar Magnus I never found....

Thanks for taking a look!
