The Energon Pub

Some anon on 4chan's /toy/ wanted to sell off all of his 2007 Transformers Movie toys. The others were not interested but I was. We exchanged Emails and I asked him to show me what he had to offer.

This is what he had:
All are from the 2007 line. All complete and unbroken)

Deluxe Arcee
Deluxe Jazz
Deluxe Brawl (the only one with a missing missile)
2 X Deluxe Bumblebee (1974 classic Camaro)
Deluxe Bonecrusher
Deluxe Bumblebee (camaro concept)
Deluxe Swindle
Deluxe Longarm
Deluxe Dropkick
Deluxe Overcast (Allspark Power)
Deluxe Payload
Voyager Blackout
Voyager Ratchet
Voyager Ironhide
Voyager Starscream
Leader Megatron
Leader Optimus Prime

Jesus.

Some of them I already had, but just Voyager Blackout and Leader Megatron alone made that lot interesting.

"So, Anon, how much?"
"220$+shipping?"
"Errr...... wanna trade instead?"

He said he had no problem trading as long that I had G1s to offer. Originals or reissues, it did not matter.

We checked each-other's Ebay accounts to check out our reputations then I began dealing.

I liked my completed Doubledealer very much, but he was a pretty much a stand-alone figure. Even with a 80-100$ worth, it was an easy sacrefice. I bought the BBTS exclusive Seacons reissue set twice a few months back... at 50$ each... Now the thing is only 34$ on clearance and will probably be worthless for years to come. So I added my second MIB set in the deal.

He accepted.

Hell yeah.

He was very trusting because he sent all of his stuff firt without giving his address back. I paid the shipping by COD. Everything was in order. I could not send his stuff my COD so he paid me the shipping by Paypal. I sent his stuff plus a bonus Gobots Leader One (very used) as a bonus item. He receive his stuff and everybody is happy.

So, tl;dr, I give:
(Plus a Gobots Leader One that is VERY used)

And I get everything below:

These are all the ones that I already had. The second 1974 Camaro Bee is in my Bumblebee collection, replacing the one that had a broken door. The broken toy is now in the broken bin. My spares are for trade or sale by the way.

Bonecrusher is WEIRD. I like Barricade and I just LOOVE the drones.

Meh... At least, I got them...

He's more impressive than he let on. The Cybertronian spaceship mode is HUGE. He add a lot of value to the deal.

I love the 2007 voyager Ironhide. Surprisingly, he's worth over 30-40$! The HftD repaint of Ratchet is superior.

AT LAST! Now I don't have to pay 80$ for this bastard.



So, is that trade amazing for me or what?

Dear Geebus, why?

Why what?

Not worth it.

Hmm... Sounds like you got a lot of pretty nice stuff, and you might just have made out better than he did, but personally, I too would swap out all my movie stuff for a couple of G1's.

As long as both parties are happy with their end of the deal, that's what matters, I guess.

So.... what do you offer?

Because I personally find Bayformers way more interesting than the bricktastics Geewuns.

You're not the only one who loves the movie figures. I've been thinking about getting rid of my G1's to acquire some of the movie toys on my wishlist. Some of the G1's on plan on getting rid of include Trypticon and Scorponok. My movie want list includes...
Leader Brawl
Leader Jetfire
Deluxe Scorponok
Deluxe Jolt (RotF)
Deluxe Leadfoot
Deluxe Que

I do love some G1 too. But I'm willing for some sacrefice if the figures interest me. For the previous deal, Leader Megs and voyager Blackout were dealbreakers.

I have this from your want list:


May I also suggest you one of my spare HA Leadfoot?


Tell me what you are willing to offer. At least for the Movie Scorpy.

I don't think it was a bad deal considering you had 2 Piranacons and as you said are now going cheap these days as for DoubleDealer well he might have been hard to let go of but if you find movie figures more interesting and for the bundle you got for those two G1 figures it's almost a complete set of movie 1 transformers, you both got a good deal in the end.

I pulled my G1 figures out a couple of days ago to sell but as i was going through them sentimental value was smacking me in the face with a few of them so iv'e kept them out on display to see if i really want to say good by

There not hard to find or in perfect condition or that expensive but Soundwave Astrotrain Mindwipe Darkwing & Dreadwind were a couple i couldn't let go as for the rest it might be time to move on, i still have 1 or 2 i will not part with but the ones i do will go towards the new generations later this year.

Hey, man, I appreciate the offer. I'm not interested in HA figures, but I like that Scorponok. Let me go after Que and Leadfoot first and then I'll be bugging you this summer to see if you still have him.

Take your time, it's not going anywhere.

One figure I am looking for is a G1 Astrotrain with his gun. It should be in good condition. As for the state of his labels, it don't matter. Reprolabels, you know.

Well as someone who posted earlier said as long as both parties are content that's all that matters. BUT IMHO I would trade up any Bayformer first before I even consider my G1's..."from my cold dead hand"!

I bet there's SOME G1s that are worth less to you.
Personally, Doubledealer was the only one I was willing to let go. (Not counting the Seacons because I had them twice.)

The G1s I will NEVER get rid of are Jazz, Hound, Optimus Prime, God Ginrai, Starscream, Pretender Starscream, Shockwave, and Rodimus/Hotrod.

The only one left that I could part with is my second and loose Seacon set.

There may have been at one point or another, I couldn't say which they were right off. But every single G1 I currently have from genuine G1 to Encore I would never part with. The only way I would is if I needed the cash (knock on wood ) or if I was trading the item I wanted would have to be a real grail for me. I would also have to consider if I could get those G1's back again easy or not but that's it!

I'm interested in Trypticon if you still want to get rid of it, maybe Scorponok. What shape are they in? I have the two leader figures in your want list.

PM sent.

My G1 is a fond memory of my childhood so I wouldn't want to part with it but the modern toys have WAY more play value for me.
