The Energon Pub

well, still no new alts at the rhinelander wal-mart. I didn't win anything at the casino. my brother left with $1000 though. he got the royal flush on video poker.

I'm late to the game with collecting clone troopers. Does anyone have an extra of the target exclusive betrayal on felucia battle pack? it was the one with the four yellow clones and the blue jedi chick. If you are willing to part with it, let me know.

thanks

There were a few left at the 8 & Haggerty Target when I was there earlier today.

damn, I'm not going to be back in michigan for another week

I can try to pick one up for you if I get a chance to swing back by there tomorrw.

Hey question. I know I ask alot. hahaha

Is anyone who is attending Botcon only planning on picking up one set of the exclusives. Normally they have the bagged figures and I was wondering if anyone who planned on getting just the boxset would mind picking up the bagged set for me?

I'm going to do the Iacon package but I planned on picking up the polybag set to open and display with the rest of my classics

Faxed my botcon stuff in sunday at around noon, hope I get into the Hasbro tour. In other news, my MP-05 megs evidently shipped the 31st and left Hong Kong today. I didn't get the email with the tracking number until today, but oh well. Supposedly, someone else in Massachusetts ordered from Robobtkingdom on Thursday and got it today, so I may see it as early as Tomorrow, though that's unlikely. I can't wait for this thing.

I think I heard somewhere that they use EMS. If so, it's super fast! I got my MP-02 from Japan in three days.

I am the someone else. Mine left HK on the 31st as well and got here as you know. So make sure someone is home to sign for it tomorrow afternoon.

Wow, you watch everyone's topics don't you Anyway, I went cheep on shipping and went air mail.*kicks himself repeatedly* but airmail is also very fast, at least from my friends experience with his re-issue from there. It MAY come tomorrow but I'm expecting sometime later this week. I'm very glad to hear it cleared customs though.

LOL, I try to read everything. Yea, I almost went cheap, but then I gigured with the built in 100 dollar insurance with EMS, it was worth the 10 dollars more.

BUMP.

Can't have this thread going to page 2!

Not much activity then? I just saw TMNT Yesterday and then blew a hundred bucks on the full line. hahahaha It was a really good movie.

I went to a couple of places yesterday, Toys R Us in Okemos and WalMart/Target on W. Saginaw in Lansing. No one had anything other than 30th Star Wars Obiwan and R2 figures.

No Classics Devastator at WalMart, no Alt. Rumble/Ravage either.

TRU did give me a survey to fill out for $3 off my next purchase. Pretty much everytime they asked during the survey what they could do to make my experience better I said something along the lines of "Stock your shelves more than once every other month."

I have been to the Okemos, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Novi, Flint and both Grand Rapids Toys R Us's a few times in the last two months and the stock hasn't changed. It's always the same Cybertron crap with a little Classics tossed in. Same Kano MK figure on the shelves, same everything.

I guess I'm just started to get frustrated with the whole retail thing. Like WalMart in Jackson stocking what was left of the box of Alt's that was opened and putting the rest in the back.

Sigh. I'm done ranting

That would be sad to see that same sight over and over and over...

Not a whole lot going on lately in the TF ranks at the stores. I did hit the Howell KB outlet, they have the Marvel Legends for 4.88 plus a buy one get one 50% off, so 2 ML for $7.50 is a pretty good deal, plus they have a $5 Gift Card w/ $30 purchase. On the TF front they have the MM Aerialbots & the exclusive Downshift & Snowcat (will they clearance those things already?)

I'm eagerly waiting for MP 05, especially after hearing very solid reviews and seeing the pics.

Is anyone here going to the Toronto Transformerscon? Maybe we can get a car-pool going.

I'm still weighing my decision for everything Botcon related. One minute, I want a Primus package w/ a boxed & bagged set, another minute I want to skip the whole thing. I really want the tour of Hasbro though.

I have two botcon forms filled out, still haven't decided which one to fax. Iacon with or without the bagged figures. I'm having a hard time spending $500 right now since I destroyed my savings on Saturday when I bought a new truck.

I did get the Transformers Universe Railbots: Tankor today from kbtoys.com. It showed up in perfect condition, I was rather shocked. I'm glad I have the Railbots and Aerialbots completed now.

Hopefully this weekend I can find a couple of Devastator's and a 09 Stormtrooper!

which one is the 09 stormtrooper?

RodimusConvoy13 wrote:which one is the 09 stormtrooper?

The concept Stormtrooper from the Star Wars 30th Anniversary series. The figures are numbered on the side, the concept Stormtrooper is #09

We went to the Lansing (Eastwood) WalMart and the Howell WalMart tonight. No Ravage/Rumble or Devastator's. No 30th Star Wars but the Howell WalMart did have that nifty G1 poster so I snagged one. They had probably 10 or so left if anyone is interested.

JTK, i hope you drive a hybrid cos you sure get around

I meant to post this earlier. I was at a hot topic monday night. they have new blue t-shirts with a red cobra logo on them. I picked one up. just thought you guys might be interested.

Sounds like a generic COBRA soldier type uniform t-shirt. That might be fun to have.

Well, I had the day off today to go to the Tigers game with my mom but, seeing as it has been postponed, I have plenty of time to go hunting today. Or just be lazy. I haven't decided yet.
