The Energon Pub

Mazinga. I dont know if you were the one who hid those two sets in the back or what, but thanks for the heads up. I picked them both up this morning.

Saw DOTM lazerbeak and Thundercracker at the kenner Super Wal Mart.. Passed both of them and bought a barricade... I like him!

Based on the reports on the main page I took my lunch hour to head to TJ Maxx and Ross this afternoon. TJ Maxx had a full case of RTS deluxe figures and one lone legends Megatron. Sadly I didn't see anything new at Ross that hasn't been there for weeks. I was at TJ Maxx with Jen on Sunday and none of this stuff was there, so that's a positive thing. Check your local stores guys, we might just get Solar Storm Grapple, Windcharger and Frenzy/Rumble after all!

It's possible that the Ross' in this area didn't get them in stock yet. I asked a friend to pass by Siegen for me (since I live in NO) but I'm not sure if he has or not. Still need Grappel and Windcharger. I went to the Ross in Harvey yesterday and found Sidearms Sideswipe and movie Lockdown.

And can't be sure about F/R just yet. At least, not in this wave of figures, as all the assortments I've seen for U.S. distribution do not include the little blue fella... But with the news that Generations (or some version of it) will continue throughout the year, there's hope we'll get it later on.

I stopped by the Ross in Slidell at lunch today and they had nothing that we are currently looking for.. Kind of bare if you ask me..

We all need to meet up and have lunch one day or something.. I love meeting fellow collectors.

Any of you guys have facebook?

Nothing at the TJ Maxx in Hammond, or at the Wal-Mart and Target for that matter other than the first waves of DOTM stuff. I saw a few Shockwaves at the Wal-Mart and the store exclusives, but thats it. No RTS or anything.

Just got back from searching Harvey stores (TJ Maxx and Marshalls) and nothing worth noting. A friend of mine just went to Ross on Siegen and didn't find RTS figures either.

When I used to work in Harvey last year, I'd take lunch and drive to all the Manhattan Blvd stores, maybe the TRU in Marrero. Those were fun times.

Sorry, I don't Facebook. But I would love a meet up one day, especially since I just started posting to the site (but have been reading for a few years).

Went to the TJ Maxx on Veterans hwy with my 6 year old and voila, there was a trailcutter!! No other RTS figs though..

I passed that one on my way out this evening but didn't stop in. I'm only looking for Grappel and Windcharger, as I'd preordered the Legends figures and received them awhile back. Maybe I'll find those two in the near future. What are people around here looking for?

Checked TJ Maxx again and only found 1 RTS Legends Megatron. I bought it though. The orange tip isn't as annoying as I thought it'd be. It's still pretty pointless though...

Oh and here's my facebook (I have no idea how to link my page, so this is my best attempt, lol).

I am looking for Grappel as well.

The Baton Rouge Toys R Us had a few Leader Class Ironhides and SEVERAL Cyberverse Megatron and Optimus Prime sets.

Hit Ross on Seigen lane in BR and came across Voyager RTS Lugnut and Strafe. No luck on Solar Storm Grapple I was just there on Sunday and they didn't have a thing, so maybe some of you will have luck!

I hit the veterans TJ Maxx today at lunch, nabbed a legends gold bumblebee I left a Trailcutter, a couple of Primes and megatrons and a Starscream.

Gold Bumbles is ok.. Just... Ok...

Well, it looks like I missed out on the case opening at Ross in Harvey. I am thankful, however, that I was able to pick up a Deep Dive and Chop Saw. Maybe I'll get lucky if they restock, still need Grappel and Windcharger.

I saw the Cyberverse Taget exclusive two packs at the Hammond target this morning.

I had a couple of calls across the lake, so I stopped by the Covington Ross and Marshalls.
Ross had a couple Brawns
Marshalls had nothing.

Over the weekend, I picked up an HA Roadbuster at Wal-Mart in Algiers - was the only one left.

Went to Ross in Harvey, no restock since last week. But then I walked next door to Target. Not only did I pick up the only Leader Ironhide, but I found a Galaxy Force Optimus Prime for only $19.84!!! The box looks like it may have seen some of the wars only Kup can remember, but it looks like everything on the inside has not been tampered with. I can only imagine that the employees found it in some forgotten corner of the store, as it's going under renovations right now. And that was the only "lost treasure" there. Also looked at the exclusive Starscreams, all had the translucent windows and not the painted red windows.

Finally, stopped at another Wal-Mart down the street (remember, I used to love working in Harvey just for the selection) and found a hidden DOTM Thundercracker.

I've now spent more than I'm comfortable with on TFs this week, and will not be hunting for another week or so. Still on the lookout for Grappel and Windcharger.

Someone completely cleaned out the BR Ross this weekend, only thing left TF related was battle blades BumbleBee. Here's hoping for a restock soon...

I talked to a Ross employee last Friday, got the "we don't know what is coming in shipment, but we get it everyday M - F". I figured at the pace these figures are selling out, they might be getting restock in a week but I could be wrong. It's worth trying every now and then. I would just call them and ask, but I'd rather go and see for myself. Besides, my uneventful trip to Ross this afternoon led to my AWESOME finds at Target.

Make the drive worthwhile, if you can. Not worth it just to leave disappointed, ya know.

Oh I know it all too well. I was there the previous Sunday, went in Monday, then again on Wednesday and between Monday and Wednesday they put out a couple of cases of Voyagers and were all wiped by this weekend. Sadly someone beat me to the Grapple.

Yup, I at least picked up an extra Turbo Tracks from the Covington K-Mart for $9.. I will put him with the other TF's I bring to work and keep in my car.

DOTM Voyager wave 3 is at the Baton Rouge TRU. The workers let me open up a fresh case and I snagged the fireburst optimus.

Thrilled! I stopped by the TJ Maxx on Clearview a few mins ago and picked up the sole Grappel!!! I also picked up Animated Atomic Lugnut and Banzai-tron. There's two Lugnuts and a Strafe left, but no scouts. U can also pick up Battle Blades OP and Night Op Ratchet. The Marshall's next to it only had NO Ratchet and yellow Long Haul. Anyone seen a Windcharger in store in Greater New Orleans?

Crap... That is right in my neck of the woods.. Congrats!
No Windchargers seen in stores around here yet.
