The Energon Pub

Hey I went to town today and found these,




I thote, my uncle would like them so I bought them as a present.

No I'de like to know a bit about them, like are they valubal and if 25 euros was a good investment?

Isn't a Euro like $1.15? I know it changes a bit. I think it wasn't a bad investment, just as long as they are cared for. I saw an Enterprise Christmas ornament for $25 last year!

Yea it's like 1,30 ore something at the mo.
Good so I did get something realy good for him the cool thing is that they are action figures and that stand lights up and makes the beaming sound! It's realy fun!

Looks like you got your money's worth then! Really, $1.30? Damn, European money beats the American dollar into submission!

but we have to pay like18 euros for a deluxe TF!

Can you take a pic with them lit up and a litle less light? I've never seen those before. I really wanted that stupid little ornament but $25 is quite a bit of money for one. Still wondering how your money is worth more, yet things are more expensive for you.

Well the US is doing a lot of importing at the mo so I heared so it decreases in value in the open market, but that dosn't mean taht the people that pay with it every day notice that.
It's wiered and complex, plus Germany is the bigest tax conty in the world!
But it may be cos of imoprtshiping to Germany, Hasbro hase to pay more to be able to sell there stuff in the EU, so they put a bigger price tag on it.


This was dificult, cos it won't last for very long (the light-up function that is).

hehehe i used to have the scotty one of those-freaking hilarious-i love the noise

And the Pound beats everything to dust...it's pretty much
£1 = $2

Only because the pound refeuses to play with others

Definitely, nobody can touch the pound. I'd love to visit England one day but it'd cost me an arm and a leg. My grammy visited a while back and had a good time but she's pretty wealthy. When we're a bit older and after a couple businesses and an inheritence or two, we'll take the fam out to the UK for vacation. My hubby knows more about British history than most Brits probably do (unless you guys are better about that than Americans are. In German class a student actually asked "which side were the SS on?" D'oh!)

Oh, and I love those Star Trek things.

25 Euros is equivalent to $34.49 USD.

$34.49 divided by five figures comes out to: $6.90 per figure. Which is cheaper than what they originally cost in the stores. Yes, you got a good deal.

Oh and that $6.90 per figure works out to be 5 Euro a piece.

Excellent deal, especially considering the bases still work.

Tje SS were on the aliance side, if I'm correct

Now we know why Jaywalking is so popular, cause some Americans is so dumm! The professor (a German) just stood there with this expression like, can you really be THAT stupid? The sad thing is, I told my friend that story, and she didn't know either!

At least Americans have nicer teeth.

Those are nice. I'm not a Trekkee, but I like those.

Yeah, the world economy is complex and crazzy!

I went to Germany a few years ago and it was my favourite vacation yet. I only lost $.25 on the dollar.

I went to the UK two years ago(Got married in Scotland). Had a great time, but lost $.50 on the dollar, that really sucked. Luckily we had a place to crash for a week. If we would have had to pay for lodging for the two weeks we were there, we would have been too poor to enjoy the honeymoon.

Went to Ontario, CA, last year. We were up $.05 on the dollar. Damn the Canucks are catching up to us. They said it sucked, cause it's not that much cheaper than it used to be.

Italy's on the plate for next year. I haven't been watching the Euro vs the Dollar, but I guess that I should to get the best X-fer rate.

Don't buy TF in ol italy, they cost even more then in Germany! €20 for a Deluxe!

OK Yea I'm no Trekky but my uncle is, soddenly I have second feling about them, cos I rely like them!

I know GIGA did some KO of TF's back in the '80's. I was hopping to find some at some sort of swapmeet(or whatever they have overthere).

In italy you will find lots of cheap ass shops with nothing but KO toys, ore if your lucky you'll find a real toyshop with prices that'll let you cry.

Basacly the real toyshops will have some old toys from the 90's but I don't know about the stuff from the 80's.
