The Energon Pub

Andrew gets like that... my couch can attest for his hard work, and need for sleep. (Or my wife and I are boring...)

I finally sort of caught up with the rest of you. Finally found a McQuarrie Concept Stormtrooper at retail. And I found a CLASSICS Starscream...I've been wanting one to keep mint.

NO movie figs, but I did find the movie bedding and window dressing. Sadly it's much too small for the current bad, so I left it, and the window dressing is not goind to fit either.

Are you kidding? I love hanging out with you guys. I think that I passed out last time because the narrator's voice in "Stranger Than Fiction" was just so soothing... That and I take comfort in being around intellectuals. So much in fact, that I just want to curl up like a baby and pass out.

tfpredaking, I would have stayed later if I only had to work on Mon, but I also had a 5hr class in the evening, so I had to head out. You guys are cool as hell, and we've got to get TT over to hang sometime, he's a pretty suave fella, I know you'd have alot in common.

Guys, believe me when I say this, but Wreckage is an absolute must-have. Even if you are nowhere near interested in any of the movie toys, you have to get this one. He's a 9.9 easily. Great alt mode, great bot mode, cool transormation, and he comes with standard, push-button-release blades that also serve as blasters! He looks absolutely badass, and would make an excellent Bludgeon repaint with a new head. Best of the bunch, and it's not my opinion, it's a fact. Just trust me.

Barricade I also enjoy more than I thought that I would...the only thing that I don't like is the complete lack of head-articulation, and the "extending arm" gimmick is pretty lame. I'd give him a 7.5. But otherwise I'm very happy with him, he looks great and comes with Frenzy!

Skorponok is one of those ones you should probably wait for, the scorpion mode rules, but the bot mode is complete garbage. I honestly don't know why they even bothered giving him a transformation...

Well, I've got to get to work, and once again shake away the sleep demons.

wreckage really is awesome. I almost think he's an unused design from energon or cybertron and they made a few adjustments to make him look movie like. he's definitly the most traditional looking transformer out fo the 4 movie toys I bought

This is crap guys....WHY CANT I FIND ANYMORE!!!

I got my Jazz, Real Gears, Ironhide, and BB....


I really like Jazz dont konw why hes not getting more love...BUT IRONHIDE IS ONE BAD MOTHER....BTW how do you properly transform him??? the box shows the "shoulders" flat...but if you look at some of the movie stills they are angled? I like angled better was wondering why you guys do?

HA! I hope you don't expect RC13, Noob and I to be intellectuals, if you do, you don't know us as well as you think you do

That would be great to hook up sometime with TT. I was bummed me and RC13 couldn't find him/you last year at Botcon so I could meet him/you.

Look PQP, I made it so anyone can generally read it, and TT could read it like I was talking directly to him. Behold my intellectual mastery of messed up sentence structure

WHOA! That derivation of written fact holds many truths which are proficient for citizens of an upstanding intellectual nature!

I like them flat, he is more stable that way.

Which part of his transformation are you having issues with?

Bought them all

They also had some wave 2 Star Wars figures 2x Biggs, 2x Han, 1x Deathstar Trooper, 1x Luke.

South Lansing Target still had nothing.

Thanks! I am gonna hit Okemos tomorrow and see whats left.

If you find anything could you let me know? I'm just curious what is hitting around Lansing.

The TRU in Okemos still has not restocked as of yesterday. MOST WORTHLESS STORE EVER!

Just to keep you grounded so your expectations do not excede our potential

Hey guys what's up? Nothing new going on with me still looking for a job. The market in this state sucks. I've been avoiding the board mostly so I don't start selling body parts so i can buy new figures. hahaha. Does anyone know the release date of the Rodimus Alternators? When those come out would someone mind picking a spare up?

-Jon

Kmart in Lansing has 2x Cyber Stomping Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in the isle over from where the Transformers are.

They also had 2 Optimus Prime voice changing helmets incorrectly priced at $13.99. The UPC wouldn't scan so the cashier sold them to me for $10.00 each

awesome haul JTK.
as opposed to them saying that they couldn't sell them!

The helmet is pretty cool. I put it on and asked my girl if she wanted sexy time

sexy time is the right of all sentient beings!

The Rodimus is still be big TBD, the most popular rumors being SanDiego Con or a WalMart exclusive.

This will be repeated by every TFan with a gf or wife in the entire fandom.

Hi guys.

The Allen Park Target has reset the action figure eisle to prepare for the TF Movie toys...they have a HUGE section dedicated to them, half an eisle easily. There was a sign up that nothing was to be put out there until June 3(why not June 2, I haven't the foggiest). But they have all the tags up and ready to go.

The time is approaching!

Oh, and I found two McQuarrie Boba Fetts there, bought both. If someone wants on, let me know.

Wow you guys really want these. Well, I've already got one reserved for RC13, you have have the other. I wanted to keep one but it is no big deal, I wasn't going to open him anyway.

I have school tonight so sometime before the end of the weekend we can talk.

I'm happy I found mine early on....
