The Energon Pub

Nice one!

This just in. I lost a Diaclone Trailbreaker a few minutea go.

Don't EVEN get me started on losing auctions by pennies. Some son of a bitch beat me by like a dollar on a Brave Maximus.

Dude...that. Just. Sucks.

Really. It does.

Expect to pay a MINIMUM of $400 for a Brave Max w/box.

Out of the box he never goes above $400. That is getting close to Fortress maximus lose teritory...

Well I did just get one in box for $300 and one out of box (minus spike) for like $169 (both prices shipped).

MUHAHAHAHAHA!

But that first one went for like $250 shipped.

Yes to me!

$250-300 for a Fort Max w/box is a steal now.

I am just glad I got him from RoboZone a few years ago, MISB, for...

Wait for it...

$175.

Those were the days...

We should change the name of this thread to "Bonger, Pittsburg_22_m and Youfear galvatron shooting the ****."

I still need to get on buying my Supergodsword. I tink I'll do it after I get back from Botcon, if I have any money left.

I think I read they were originally like $129 and some people go them on clearance for $75-100. Bastards!

Admittedly it does look cool in his hands. I need to post pics sometime.

Pics of the blue one would be great!

Hah, I should get the silver one. That way we will have pics of all 3.

That would be sweet.

But seriously, I look at it like this:

If you can afford a Fort max/Brave max, you CAN afford a $50-60 KO Sword to crown your collection with.

He just never seems complete without his sword. I felt that way when i first opened him. I was expecting a gun, something...but he has like only 5 seperate pieces.

Just kind of shocking.

But the original Fort Max had like 9 seperate pieces total.

They just deleted all the extras for the re-issue, which kind of sucks.

Agreed. Well, as yo know I got lucky and got a Fort Max Rifle with mine, so he doesn't look incomplete.

Oh the sword is a must. I want the red one. However, I want the blue one for Omega Prime as well. So, its just like a few bucks more to get the set of all 3 on ebay.

So yea, it just got a little pricey lol. Since I'm going away on vacation this week, and then off to Botcon the week after, I'm gonna be smart and hold off till after Botcon so that I don't have to sell/cash in any investments pre-maturely as a result of overspending on TFs.

Sorry for the huge pic, I don't know why it isn't shrinking.

Niiiiice

Weird, the pic looks correctly sized now.

Does the blue...turn you on?

LOL!

I'll get a pic up with silver version in early July. I'm still trying to track down the ??? one.

Did you guys find out anything about it?

I'm just going to assume the ???? is a random one for shits and giggles. lol

Why would you let this thread die? Best thread I've been in yet!

I think the pending doom of the thread might be a result of a combination of my renewed fiscal conservatism and having been away on vaca for a week.

Haha, wait for this weekend. I am going to try and resist the dealer room at Botcon, but ya never know what new goodies I may succumb to, and ya know theyre gonna end up in this thread,

It's only once a year. Blow every dime you have.

LOL! I wish I could. However, empty checking accounts give me gas.

Nah, I'll be on the prowl for customs, ehooby exclusives and luck draw items. So i'll probably not buy too much, but it will all be good stuff.

OK, as promised, heres my Botcon haul list!

Ok, so I got a couple of boxed and bagged sets. Then I did laps around the Souveneir table and got quite a few of those.

Now on to the good stuff.

Picked up 2 Pepsi Primes. 24.99 each, what a bargain!!

Then I got a set of Black/Clear Starscream, a stand for Unicron, 4 boxes of Energon cubes, a little diaclone sized Spike and Sparkplug, a set of WST Dinobots, along with the xmas special one.

Then I proceeded to stare at Gold Jetfire for an hour. Finally, I tore myself away as the 1000 price tag was a major deterrant.

Haha, I saw some cool stuff there. In order of my amusement:

1) A guy in a wheelchair, who had a 4 foot long OP trailer.

2) The life sized OP painted Truck in Ehibit Room B.

3) A maybe 8 foot tall movie OP statue in the Dealer room.

Defiantely peruse the web for pics of these!

I'll probably load up on Pepsi Prime's this next week when HTS gets them.

Man...I need to get a Unicron stand. How much was it? Of course I leave one orange in bot mode, the other orange in planet mode (minus the rings because missing parts) and the black on MISB.

Pics of Wheelchair Prime?

Handi-Prime?

Roller?

The stand is awesome. It was 15 bucks from the Unicron.com table.

I took no pics, not much of a pic taker. Lol, I totally want a handi prime figure. It was pretty cool.

I was tempted to load up on Pepsi Primes. We were allowed 3 each. But at the end, I was like F it.
