The Energon Pub

I only really got inferno because with wreck gsr and punch in the works the rumor mill suggests we'll get two rebrands to fill in for a not G2 Defensor.

I'm skipping the Terrorcons as I'm already drowning in CW limbs and torsos. I have taken a shine on Blot though, but I wanna hold him and see if I get the feels first. Combiner sets are like potato chips, you can have just one

Blot is fantastic IMHO

Which is ironic since G1 blot might be one of the worst G1 toys all around.

I know, they certainly redeemed themselves with this one.

Anyone in BR looking for some TR Ramhorn goodness?

The 5 Below on Seigen (is there any others?) has 3 of them for $3 each.

There is a 5 below not too far from me, Ill have to check it out.

The O'Neal Walmart has 2x each of wave 3 Terrorcons.

Less one Blot.

Forgot to mention it, but found the Cyberverse stuff at the Hammond Walmart Sunday.

Found 2 Hung-Gurrs and an Elita 1 at the Chalmette Walmart.

I grabbed one Hun-Gurr, so there should be one left (along with the Elita 1). Hopefully, this means some of the Deluxe Terrorcons should be showing up in stores soon. I've literally never seen one in the wild. As a matter of fact, this was the first time I've seen ANY Terrorcon in the wild.

Man I hate this distribution. I still need Snarl and the Terrorcon limbs...

That's crazy. In the last 2 weeks, I've checked the Vets Walmart, Tchoupatoulas Walmart, Kenner Walmart, Chalmette Walmart, Gentilly Walmart, and East Walmart (not to mention the Vets and Kenner Targets). Haven't seen a thing. I've even rushed to the different stores whenever someone here would post a sighting and would never find anything because someone would beat me to it!

I suppose I could take a look at the Vets Walmart and Tchoup Walmarts today after work, but I'm honestly not expecting to find anything.

It seems like I have the absolute worst luck in the city when it comes to finding these figures.

Did some hunting this past weekend

Walmart on Tchoupatoulas: Nothing but Wave 1 PotP
Walmart in Chalmette: 1 Elita-1
Walmart on Vets: Had 2 Snarls, 1 Sludge, and one Moon Racer. Grabbed a Snarl so I could finally complete Volcanicus
Target in Kenner: Had the new Cyberverse stuff, that's it
Walmart in Kenner: Nothing but Wave 1 PotP
Target on Vets: Nothing but Wave 1 PotP
Walmart on Manhattan: Nothing but Wave 1 PotP
Target on Manhattan: Had the new Cyberverse stuff, that's it

I wish I knew where everyone is finding all this new stuff, because I seriously can't find anything. I mean, I guess it's cool that I finally found Snarl....but yea, that's it. I'll probably use Amazon for Ripper Snapper. Who knows when I'll find the rest of Abominus' limbs...

Wal Mart on Jeff highway had rippersnapper today.

Thanks for that heads up, CB. I'll probably make a trip that way to pick him up after work since Harrahan isn't that far from my job.

Siegen Walmart has one each of the PotP Abominus limbs

I did some road running today. Pretty much the same mix all over the Baton Rouge and nearby area. The only things of note were:

Gonzales Walmart - Prime Master Alpha Trion x1 and Megatronus x 2. There were also a couple Titan Returns Chromedome, Scourge, and Blurr as well.

Baton Rouge Cortana Walmart - one each of Elita One and Hun Gurr.

Ha, I was at the Cortana wally this morning too

I was really hoping someone spotted Cogman

Just hit up Wal-Mart on O'Neal. There was 1 Outback, 1 Cindersaur, and 1 Moonracer. Lots of Rippersnapper, Dreadwind, Slugs, and a couple Swoops.

As a side note, what are people really looking for at this point? Just Novastar and eventually Optimal Optimus?

Outback, Cindersaur, maybe Abominus limbs, OpOp and Cogman (Tj Maxx /Ross).

Side note and out of state I spotted some early wave TLK premiere deluxe figures at Tuesday Morning. Drift, Crosshairs and Strafe. I haven't had a chance to check any in BR yet.

Tj Maxx off of Siegen had nothing, btw.

Personally, I've been trying to find the terrorcons for ages. I managed to find a lone Hungurr a few weeks back, but that's really it. Distribution in New Orleans is terrible.

I caved and bought rippersnapper for 15 bucks on Amazon last week, but I refuse to pay scalper prices for the other 3 limbs.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to look out for those things.

I ran down to Siegen today. Nothing at the Walmart, Ross, or TJ Maxx. The Target did have one each of POTP Optimus and Rodiumus if anyone still needs those.

Ha I made the same run today. I did nab Cutthroat at the Siegen WM. There is a Blot left.

I also checked the Marshall's and Tuesday Morning at the Hammond shopping center. Not a TF in sight

Novastar has shown up in pretty much every NOLA Wal Mart since yesterday.

You mean has not, right? Because if she has shown up, then I'm driving out there tomorrow afternoon.

I worked a half day today, so I decided to run out to New Orleans and see if I got lucky. Cyber Bishop spoke correctly. Novastars were in NOLA Walmarts.

*Esplanade didn't really have any transformers. They look due for a restock.
*Veterans Blvd did receive Wave 4 recently, but all the Novastars were gone. Still three or four of Slug, Rippersnapper, and Blackwing though.
*Jefferson Hwy also recieved Wave 4 and I bought the only Novastar left. Two of Slug, Rippersnapper, and Blackwing. There are tons of Cindersaurs and Outbacks.

I stopped there because I got what I came for. So good luck to the rest of you at the other Walmarts. And thanks so much for the tip, CB!
