The Energon Pub

Toys R Us seems like the only place that's even trying. They put a ton of RotF stuff out and it seems to be slowly moving. They are stocking Dirge, Skullgrin, Blurr and the rest in that assortment, which is more than I've seen the other stores do.

I found RtS wave 1 and 2 today at the TRU in Concord. So keep an eye out, we may have finally caught up with the modern world.

Nothing new to report at the Lexington Wal-Mart yet, but Thomasville Wal-Mart actually had a few figures from 2011 Generations Series 1. I spotted a Red Alert, a Skullgrin, and a Dirge (of which I bought because this one had the triangle in the head piece on the Decepticon insignia whereas the first Generations Dirge I purchased did not have the triangle).

I did note that Wal-Mart is carrying a generic $10.00 transforming robot that is approximately Leader Class size or maybe a hair smaller. So far it looks like all the figures are land vehicles, mostly cars, with one being a bulldozer or something along those lines. I didn't buy one, so I'm not sure of the quality, but at $10.00 they quality can't be good. On the other hand, it's only $10.00.

Now it's February 2011 and still no new Transformers at my local Wal-Mart. I plan on hitting the Wal-Mart in Thomasville next week to see what they have on their pegs. But otherwise, I've pretty much given up hope on the Lexington location as I don't think they ever hired a new toy department manager after the last one they had quit years ago. Now I hear that instead of a department manager for each department, a department manager covers about two or three departments.

Anyway, like I said, I'd given up on this location and decided to just order the most recent Transformers releases from http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com. I may have to pay more, if only because of shipping costs, but at least I get the item. If I wait for this store to get new Transformers in, the line would be discontinued before I got all the figures.

Still no new Deluxe figures at the Wal-Marts in Lexington or in Thomasville. In fact, both stores have a section of pegs meant for Generations that are completely empty. And from what I've read from those of you that managed to hit other stores in the area, it's the same story. NOTHING! No new anything from any of the Classes.

I just came back from the Lexington Wal-Mart and once again, the pegs are still empty for the Deluxe Generations. This is absolutely ridiculous! It's been nearly two months since the new modular was set and this store can't get in any Deluxe Generations. The pegs for the RTS Deluxe figures are full of Wave 2 figures (Sidearm Sideswipe, Hailstorm, Elita-1, and Tuner Skids), all of which were left over from their "Toyland" Display from Christmas.

Now do you see why I order my figures from www.hasbrotoyshop.com and that I'm willing to pay the shipping charges.

For any NC Transfans that are within close distance to the Wilmington area. I have just ordered the Generations wave case from BBTS that has Kup, Wheeljack, Thundercracker, and Scourge. I am looking to get rid of Kup since I already have him and I got the case since it would be cheaper than buying them individually ( and I will probably never find these guys). If you can make it to the Wilmington area, and it's not a rediculous drive, I would be more than happy to let him go for $10. Just PM me and we can get something set up. The box will be here Monday afternoon just to let you all know.

Once again I was at the Lexington Wal-Mart and once again the same pegs intended for Generations were still empty.

However, on a Star Wars side note, the AT-AT that normally sells for $99.97 at Wal-Mart is now on Clearance for $49.00. I bought one at the clearance price and I had bought one last year when they were on sale for $80.00. If I can't build up my Sweeps, I'll at least be able to build up my AT-AT army to conquer the Rebel Base on Hoth.

I realize this is an old topic, but I decided to post what I found today while I was at Wal*Mart. I found like four or five WFC Primes, same number of BB's, three RTS Battle in Space double-packs, three HFTD Ravage, several HFTD Ironhides, a HFTD Battle Blades BB (and I'm quite impressed with him, but I'll stick with Movie One BB), couple Leader Starscreams, a Leader CLass Bumblebee, couple of the HFTD Dirge repaints, and I think an Activators Starscream. And can you believe I saw ROTF Mudflap? I'm not talking about the Tuner repaint, I'm talking the very first Mudflap!

Well, the Lexington Wal-Mart has just changed their action figure toy modular aisles once again and it's only March. The Star Wars and Transformers are now an aisle section down from where they were. I noticed that the "THOR" toys were making an appearance closer to the main aisle while I'm sure "Captain America" should be next.

Anyway, that section of Generations pegs is still empty. But get this... (I PM'ed a local Seibertronian recently about this very thing) they've been hoarding the Generations figures for a promotional/display and the toy department associate was setting that up a few moments before I was leaving. I think I spotted at least one, possibly two of everything in the 2011 line except Sergeant Kup, Scourge, Wheeljack, Thundercracker, or Warpath. I mentioned it to the associate that these would probably fill up the pegs on the counter down the aisle and she said that they have to feature them on the endcap because of the promotion. WTF! This is one of the reasons I got out of retail because the ones up top lack commonsense. Those Generations pegs have been empty for nearly three months and finally some Generations come in and they are going to keep them displayed on an endcap instead of filling up the pegs down the aisle with the rest of the Transformers?!?! Why bother featuring them on an endcap? If the right collector comes in, they'll buy about half of the characters leaving those ridiculous cardboard box toy holders virtually empty except for a few figures that were pushed forward. Tacky!

Just came back from the Thomasville Wal-Mart and I spotted only three Generations figures, Cybertronian Megatron, Thunderwing, and Darkmount.

I did find two Star Wars Transformers Crossovers Lieutenant Thire to Republic Attack Cruiser figures, but I only needed one. I would've posted it on the Sightings List page, but this figure still hasn't been listed despite many apparently failed attempts of letting someone know.

Just left the Lexington Wal-Mart. The DOTM feature is still up on one of the endcaps with half the display featuring the DOTM Cyberverse Optimus Prime with 3-D glasses. The other half is Generations figures excluding some that I mentioned above in a previous post. Again, the Generations figures are featured here on the endcap as opposed to being displayed on the EMPTY PEGS for the Generations figures in the Transformers section. Madness, I tell you, madness!

Me again, back from the Marine Corps base of Camp Lejeune. While I was there, we were given the opportunity to take a gander at what they have at their own little military mini-mall, or their Marine Corps Exchange (MCX). As usual, I brought with me $12 to see if I could buy something that would look pretty in my room. While I was there, I got a little surprise; Transformers that are practically impossible to find in normal retail stores! I saw several Generations WFC Soundwaves, a WFC Megatron thrown in there, and this is what got me: the first RTS toys I've seen. They had several of Jazz and Tracks, and only one of Perceptor. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to, I didn't see Scourge (dammit...), so my choice selection was narrowed down to either Jazz, Perceptor, or Tracks. Went with Tracks, and carried him around with me for a couple days. If they had a store exclusive which had Kup colored too either look like the Marine's service uniform (or "dress blues") or a more camo color scheme, then I would have gone "Bought on sight!".

It's nearly the end of May and RTS figures have been moved to a Clearance Aisle in another section of the Lexington Wal-Mart SuperCenter store. Pretty much all that this store ever got in as far as the RTS line was the figures that were being released almost near the end of 2010. Not once did I ever see Deluxe Class Special Ops Jazz, Turbo Tracks, Fallback, Mindset, Perceptor, Classics Redeco Bumblebee, G2 Optimus Prime, or Wreck-Gar. Not even Deluxe Class Tomahawk, Terradive, or Electrostatic Jolt made it to this store and I honestly have my doubts these figures made it to the Thomasville Wal-Mart SuperCenter either. So it's easy to see that if these Deluxe Class figures didn't make it to these stores, one can easily assume that the Scout Class RTS figures Breacher, Insecticon, Oil Pan, Firetrap, and Sunspot didn't make it to these stores as well. And if those Scout Class figures didn't get to these stores, you can forget about me ever seeing Scout Class Chopsaw or Windcharger. Add to that list of "No Shows" the Voyager Class figures of Grapple, Lugnut, Strafe, Deep Dive, and Highbrow and one can say that the availability of RTS 2010/2011 figures was extremely lacking, at least for these two Wal-Mart SuperCenters. So of course it's extremely disappointing to not see these figures amongst the Clearance aisles considering they never appeared in these stores in the first place.

All I can say to this is thank goodness for http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com, otherwise I wouldn't be the proud owner of each one of nearly all of the figures listed above. Unfortunately, I didn't time my online shopping very well for Chopsaw and Windcharger as I was never able to acquire those two from the website.

Now for some good news at least about the Wal-Mart SuperCenter here in Lexington... they've been getting in the Generation lines and I've been extremely surprised at what I've been finding. So far I've seen Sergeant Kup, Scourge, Wheeljack, Thundercracker, and even the elusive Warpath. Heck, I even posted these on the sightings page a few days ago and I was again back in the store on Friday and I was still able to find at least two of each one of these figures I just mentioned. The only problem I have is that this store has only reserved one column of pegs for the Generations figures, as opposed to the standard two columns which allows for 6 pegs of figures as opposed to 3 pegs of figures.

Also in the good news column for this Lexington Wal-Mart SuperCenter... DOTM figures out the ying-yang.

Gotta glimpse at my first DOTM toys last Sunday. Bumblebee, V. Prime & Megs, Leaders Sentinel Prime & Ironhide, and Crankcase was there. What got me was the Voyagers and the Deluxes were a couple bucks cheaper than usual. The Deluxes, I can understand, since their a wee-bit smaller than average, but to me, the Voyagers looked the same size.

the new walmart on north tryon has all wave 1 and 2 except shockwave. target on kings has shockwave. tru in pineville has shockwave. and the walmart on sardis has all of wave 1 and 2.

Just a quick post; I'm desperately looking for Generations Scourge around the Wilmington area before DOTM takes its toll. If anyone finds Scourge, lemme know. And please, don't PM me saying you have one for sale online. Please and thank you!

I'm not sure what your walmart looks like.. but in the one near me, in the transformers aisle, they moved all of the old hftd, generations, and 5 pack power core combiners to the end of the aisle where there is a bunch of other older stuff and some clearance stuff. that's where i found generations wheeljack and warpath by accident. so, i'd check more than just the standard transformers section in walmart. look around more (if you haven't already)

Mindmaster, if you check the Wal-Mart on Market Street I know they have Scourge, my wife saw him yesterday. Don't know how many they have though. Good hunting.

The one I usually go to is the one closest to UNCW or Target. I don't remember what road it is... But it's somewhere between MLK Road and College Road.

Thanks a ton, dude! Tell your wife I said thanks as well! I'll run over there as soon as I get cash on me.

No problem Mindmaster. I'll keep an eye out incase they sell out of Scourges on Market Street. Let me know if there is anything else you want me to keep an eye out for.

if anyone is in or near charlotte, the eastway drive walmart has just about every dotm figure out. picked up Human alliance whirl and tailpipe there today. quite a bit of generations stuff is still on the shelf as well.

Has anybody looked into the supposed appearances of the RTS figures at Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshals? I've checked Ross and TJ Maxx and only saw a leader class Starscream.

Good, I'm not the only one. I visited the TJ Maxx in Wilmington, and to my disappointment, the only Transformers I saw was ROTF Human Alliance Bumblebee and Animated Atomic Lugnut/Wreck-Gar. I was extremely disappointed at this. The only RTS figures I saw was at a Walgreens, but it was just Mindset (was that his name?).

I think that's his name, but I've been calling him Brainfart. I checked the Ross by Concord Mills today and they had 1 Strafe and a few HftD deluxes. So they might start showing up soon, I just hope I get to them before the scalpers do.

Mindset, which walgreens did you check??

The one up at Monkey Junction. It's not the one I normally go to. I usually check out the one across the street from Toys "R" Us.
