The Energon Pub

Well like Stockade said haven't seen anything new in a while it's probably been about 2-3 weeks. Over the Weekend I went to Clayton, Englewood, Vandalia, Huber Heights, Beavercreek, Xenia, Bellbrook, Centerville and Franklin and found nothing but the usual Universe Deluxe Waves 4 & 5, and Voyager Waves 1 through 5. The one thing I've been wondering is why I haven't seen any Vector Primes yet he should have been released the same time as Inferno since they were in Wave 4 together? I probably won't go out driving again for at least 2 weeks since I'm getting a little tired of seeing the same items on store shelfs every week. I guess I'll keep checking back everyday if anyone else see's anything.

There's been nothing new up here for weeks, also. The last thing that was new was Legends class Rodimus, Wheelie, Warpath, and Cosmos. There are, however, a lot more of the same peg-warmers... I'm thinking that means they're emptying out their reserves in the back to make way for the new stuff! I could just be overly optimistic... TRU is getting a truck on Wednesday. The guy at the store says he doesn't know what's going to be on it, but, with 10 Waspinator sightings and 10 Samurai Prowl sightings, I can't help but to hold out hope that they might be there!! Not to mention that if my wife doesn't see Arcee or Wreck-Gar soon, she just might go a little nUtZ!!

If anyone here is looking for Animated I found Waspinator and Samurai Prowl located at

Toys R Us
2859 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd.
Miamisburg, OH 45342

Samurai Prowl - 2
Waspinator - 1


Also, they had 2 of the Titanium Prowl's if anyone is looking for that figure.

Congrats Jenus on finding both of them and im really shocked that TRU had anything new! really Im shocked...

Yeah I couldn't believe it myself I really thought my eyes were deceiving me since nothing new has been sighted there for 2 or 3 months so I started rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things and sure enough they were there. lol

Also, one other thing I wanted to add I'm wanting to get rid of a Takara MP-01 Optimus Prime (No Trailer Included) MIB it was opened once two make sure content was in good condition, it was. I really don't no why I bought a second one but I think it was because I wanted to display one transformered and one in vechile mode. I would like to get $115.00 out of it since I've seen new and used ones going for $150.00 to $400.00 shipped. I will ship it out for Free in Ohio and anywhere else in the US for half of what the shipping charge is, also I will put insurance on the package for people who live in Ohio but anywhere else in the US I will charge what the full insurance cost which is usually $1.70 to $5.00 I think. Anyway I can take pictures of it just e-mail me at jonmillward@hotmail.com and I will send them to you. I really hate advertising this here but this gives anyone who checks out the Ohio toy seekers thread a chance to get this item for a great deal.

Several Infernos, 2 Unicrons, tons of leader megatrons and bulkheads, 3 Samurai Prowls, 3 Waspinators at Toys R Us in Polaris.

Okay... Sorry about the time gap, guys! Just been a bit busy at home... Anyway: Jenus, that is so decent of you to put your Convoy up to your fellow Ohioans first! And for a competitive price I might add... I snagged a Samurai Prowl and I could've gotten a Waspinator, too, But I didn't want one. It seems most of the stores up here have exactly two of each one. WM, Tgt, TRU, all had two of each. Or one of each if someone bought one. Nothing else, though. No voyagers. I think the newest voyager I've seen is Skywarp or something like that. I'm still just a-waitin' to get my hands on that Wreck-Gar. I found Samurai Prowl, Waspinator, and Wreck-Gar on hasbrotoyshop.com, but it's about $30 with shipping. And depending on where you go, that could be $10 more! Not only that, but I know as soon as I bought one online, I would walk into a store and there'd be five of them! We'll see how it goes!

Hello everyone! normally im not late about this, but went to walmart on Saturday in springboro and they had a bunch of TFA Samuria Prowl and Waspinators! and thats it. i haven't really been looking lately, the only ones im interested in from TFU 2.0 is Vector Prime and Bruticus for now and gearin up for TF2 ROTF figures, hell even broke out some the TF1 figures for show the other day. The the most wanted is Ramjet and Skywarp, the new Starscream, soundwave, all the transforming constructicons sideways, fallen and some leader figures as well. I told myself no repaints, but the Ramjet and Skywarp repaints are badass and complete my seekers as well... And what bout u Jenus, anything new?? keep me posted man.

Oh yeah, interested in Red Alert to team with inferno..

Well I'm mainly looking to get all the Transformers that appear in the movie don't want any extras that are not in the film. I will probably be looking to get all the Transformers that appear in the Movie except for Megatron (Don't really care for the new mold even thought it represents his G1 form of Galvatron) Brawl, Barracaide, Scorponok, and Arcee. Those are the only movie figures I have since I didn't start collecting again until last August. The only reason I started collecting again was because I liked the the fact that Hasbro was doing remolds of the G1 characters that I grew up with when I was young, the only G1 one toys I had were given to me by my cousin which were Jazz, Rodimus, and Kup. That was where I started my collection then I collected all of the beast wars toys then after that other kids thought I was weird because I was still collecting toys and that was when I gave my entire collection away and quite buying Transformers. Now that I'm older I could care less what others think.

Also, I'm still looking for Bruticus aswell wonder when he'll finally show up, and as for Vector Prime I found a good deal on a New Takara Vector Prime which has accurate color scheme from the Transformers Cybertron line, he's a lot better that the hasbro repaint.

Well, Jenus i was just like you when i was younger, my mom kinda gave some of my stuff away, cause she thought i shouldnt be playin with toys, but at the sametime i was into all kinds of stuff, like StarWars, GI Joe MASK (if you remember that one) and some others, but Transformers and StarWars has been my try and true as far as collecting anything. Starwars ive stopped cause most of it is at my mom's house and now at my place i have Transformers and no room bring any of my Starwars over, so i might sell some of it and i know i have a bunch of GI Joe that i will sell, and i think i have He-man as well i'll get rid of too. And i know have at least 2 Transformers cases full of G1 Transformers and maybe more just have to look when the weather breaks. Cant wait for Bruticu and vector prime to get here and I'm thinking of getting TFM inferno, the repaint of Armada Red Alert, i have all the TFM figures except him and when i was looking for him, i couldn't find him and now at TRU theres 4 i think and he would complete my collection for that line. Anyway, if you seen anything let me know and i'll do the same for ya..

Well I got good news... At least I think it's good news. Every store up here had at least two S. Prowls and Waspinators, if not, three. They are all gone. The reason I think this is good news is because that means they'll bring out more. Now if it's more of the same thing, I don't know. Hopefully that'll just open the door to bring in the rest of the wave. I'm still waiting to grab one of those Wreck-Gars as soon as I see one! My wife got Black Arachnia today. She was debating on it for a while and she decided it was time. She's really looking for Arcee and I think she'll have a cow if they decide to make an Elita-1... I can't say I'd mind, either. That's about it for now. I'll post if I see anything new or old, but exciting..

Well Jenus, where have you been hiding man? Anyway, i'm glad TRU is getting new stuff and that raises my awareness to stop buy there more and check it out and thanx for reminding about Darkwind and Countdown, i've been so wrapped in TF ROTF figures i forgot about those two. Darkwind and Countdown will be definet buys for me and still looking for Vector prime and the almighty Bruticus, still wondering when they will hit the shelves? Well man keep me posted and i'll do the same.

Well I'm sort of out there, I'm down to only going out once or twice a week now because I kinda got tired of going out everyday or every other day. I really wish I new when Predacon Bruticus was going to show up, so far the only one that has been sighted here was in Chattanooga, Tennessee and that was back in January. Yesterday I was almost ready to buy him from hasbrotoyshop along with the yet to be seen again Wreck-Gar, but I didn't give in I'll try to hold out till May for those two. I probably should have went out and bought Wreck-Gar when you first sighted him but all while.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention yesterday I went to the Target in Beavercreek aand Bellbrook to check on Animated Sunstorm both stores had a bunch of him but neither of them would get one from the back room, guess I'll have to wait till the 22nd.

Sorry, i'm late for this post, but on friday night went to walmart in springboro and ony thing there is a Stormcloud & Smokescreen, nothing else. Saturday after work went to Target and Meijers at the tylersville exit, nothing at target and seen their TFU 2.0 was $12.89 each! at one time they were only $11.89 or something close to that, then on too meijers they had nothing and i mean nothing, in the TFU line, but seen a premium Blackout, but it was open and missing scornpnok, but i think it was like $ 5.00 or $6.00. Anyway, getting bored of looking an loosing my interest in TF's cause Hasbro is so freakin slow to distribute anything out this way. i want may to get here for the new stuff.....cant wait

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY, ENERYBODY!!
So I saw the TFU Inferno.. not the SUV, but the fire engine. It looks pretty good, but I don't think I need one. Nothing new up here. Just more of the same. And about this 22nd thing... is that the release date of all the new stuff? I haven't heard that, but I can guarantee that if that's true, I'll be the first one through the door that morning! That's about it from around here. I went to Parma and they have nothing over there, either. I guess I'm just back to the invouluntary patient waiting game again. Oh well, let me know if you see something new and I'll do the same!

Found some Mighty Muggs at the TRU in Miamisburg again.

Toys R Us
2859 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd.
Miamisburg, OH 45342

Mighty Mugss Optimus Prime - 1
Mighty Muggs Megatron - 2
Mighty Muggs Bumblebee - 1
Mighty Muggs Soundwave - 1

Still haven't seen any new shipments of anything from the Universe line.

Just came back from Target by the dayton mall, they had a few cheetors, hounds and one Cyclonus and one SS and for the voyagers was one Inferno and Overload U(repaint of Dropshot) thats it! and for those collecting GI joe stuff they had one Target only Python Patrol Conquest X-30 for $24.00. Other than that not much out there these days, still wanting vector prime and bruticus and dont wanna forget TRU countdown and darkwind which i want them too... Stil cant wait for TF ROTF I'm getting at least 4 right away, and thats Starscream cause he's more movie accurate this time and then Ramjet, Skywarp and wanting Demolisher, after that on to gettng the others for sure..


ops! almost forgot, need to add one more to the list, thats the Whirl and Bludgeon 2-pack...so many Transformers so little space i have for them....

I found a weird place to find TF that I'd never thought to look... I was shopping at Aldi's and I ran across a mass load of legend class figures! They didn't have the new wave of universe (Rodimus and Cosmos), but they did have G1Bumblebee, G1Hound, G1Jazz, Animated Prowl, and Animated Optimus Prime! I don't know if you'll have the same thing going on down there, just a thought. The stores are over-run with Safeguard and TFU voyagers. Everything from Mudflap to Powerglide. As well as Wingblade, Stormcloud, Inferno, Onslaught, Blaster(the jet), and even some more, that's just what I could remember. They also have Titanium Grimlock and Titanium Prowl. I don't know what happened, but all the shelves are PACKED with a whole bunch of old stuff. I think they're emptying out their back rooms! At least I hope. I'm really looking forward to what this weekend is going to bring. It's really close to the end of the month and all the new stuff should be coming out soon. GOOD HUNTING YOU GUYS!

Where on earth is Aldi's? Never heard of it...

Really? It's a national discount food store chain. Tinned food is like 50 cents and boxed "Hamburger Helper" type food is only like $1.. Things like that. It's the place to shop, let me tell ya. Most of the food is exactly the same as the name brand stuff. There are some things that can't be duplicated. Like the coffee. I won't drink anything other than Folger's. But then again... the off-brand sloppy joe mix is actually a lot better than the Manwich brand... but I digress. Anyway, a food store isn't the place I'd have thought to look for TF... especially the newer ones.

Ah sweet, and yeah I wouldn't have pegged a place like that either...Jenus told me where one nearby is but I didn't get a chance to go there today...

I DID find the Sunstorms and Grape Shockwaves at the Beavercreek Target though (on an endcap) and they had tons of them if anyone wants to go and get grabby

Hey lucious prime, any chance that the Aldi's store would have any old TF movie leader class figures? kinda looking Megatron leader class, as for prime, ill wait and get the new one, since he combines with Jetfire, anyway just trying to find the old Megatron and then maybe get the new one when it hits the shelves...
