The Energon Pub

i was on my TF-toy rounds tonight in a desperate search for ANYTHING. i hit up target and 2 wal-marts to no avail. i was coming up to k-mart and i sez to myself: "what the heck" and decided to try my luck. i made a beeline to what i thought were the only toys, the usual voice changers and big-rig blasters. i walked around and decided to look at the spiderman toys, when lo and behold, i saw a payload and a dreadwing on the pegs! i did a jig and began to rummage through the pegs, and found repaint barricade, battle jazz, longarm, and dropkick. so i bought longarm and a soundwave/bumblebee robot heroes(!) check out your k-marts!

The local K-Mart's proven to be a better place to find TFs than TRU and Wal-Mart. Swung by there yesterday and saw they'd restocked the movie toys both Voyagers and Deluxes, as well as the 3" movie Titaniums. Even better for me, they had Titanium Fallen and Cheetor in stock. Plus, they had a couple of the 25th Anniversary GI Joe 5 packs as well. Pretty cool.

the k mart near me overprices all their toys.... so ive never checked a k mart in ages.

Yep. The two Titaniums I picked up were $18, but considering how much I probably would have paid for them in shipping from somewhere else, it was worth it. I believe the deluxes were $12, though, a bit pricey.

yeah, but all the TFs were on sale 10% off, so it came out normally.

just went to a kmart here last night in phx, az. and.. nothing. no tits, no deluxes, a voice changer helmet or 2, and like a keychain. :< (this is after checking 4 walmarts, 1 target, 1 toysrus, and a kohl's.)

One Kmart in my area for the majority of the time has had the least amount of movie deluxes, voyagers, and leaders. Ironically, they now have the most of these lines recently since no other stores have restocked.

oh dont complain, us hosiers have to pay 15$ for a deluxe class and our dollar is almost close to yours

The nearest K-Mart around here is ten minutes away. I checked the place a couple weeks ago, and they don't even have a TF section.

TOys at my K-mart is a joke. Did see a couple of the basic deluxes but the rest were those walkie talkies, unleashed BB and some other non-selling toys.

We pay $27, and our dollar is US$0.85.

Brits beat both of us though...

I picked up Dropkick, Payload, and Recon Barricade (against my better judgement... ) at K-Mart today.

They were loaded actually.

K-Mart = Total crap around here. I haven't seen a single Transformer in our K-Mart in 4 months. In fact finding anything in K-Mart is a pain in the ass, the place is such a mess.

I stopped at my local Kfart the other day and there was absolutely NOTHING in the TF section. Carts were everywhere, too.

Usually there's so much crap in this section, stuff is all over the floor ... disorganized, etc.

I guess they had a nation wide reset or something. I should stop in today and check 'em out.

Maybe they'll have some classics or something?

Kmart got the proto figs quickly but since then they have crap..

I haven't got to open him yet. He's in the car while I'm in the office.

Actually, I figured out how much I make per post at one point.

I'm still doing alright.
