The Energon Pub

Well guys, i've made my decision about Hailstorm, and i don't like him, so im returning mine to Walmart by the Dayton mall. theres nothing wrong with him, i just dont like him anymore. i thought i would and im really sick of the movie crap and moving onto Takara's United line when it hits and collecting some G1 combiners that i missed as a kid. So, if you want Hailstrom he will be up for grabs at this walmarts! Or if anyone wants him just PM me before 3:00 today..

Got the last Battle Blades Optimus Prime and last RPMs Skids at Montrose TRU, left Bazaitron. Banzaitron, green Devastator, and Masterpiece Grimlock are only new figures left. Some SpeedStars diecasts are in stock.

Semi-decent restock at the Lima TRU, at least for the GEN line. They had restocks of Megatron, Red Alert, Drift, and Soundwave on the shelves. Only picked up Soundwave--but he rules...

Hey Doc! good snag with Soundwave, for me just waiting until the United line becomes available to order from Takara and then ill order them. Now, just waiting on Terradive to hit and im done with HFTD line, unless Tomahawk gets repainted into a Decepticon and then i might get him, but not sure yet though.

Hey everyone! Did a small run today. Just to Target and TRU. You'll never guess what I founda at Target..... NOTHING!!! At TRU, still no Masterpiece Grimlock. They do have the Green Devastator. Gonna get him, just didn't yet. Probably tomorrow. They also had the "Desert Scene" 3-pack. (with red Rampage, Cannon BB, and Desert Ravage) The Gen line remains stationary at Thrust being the last out. HFTD is nothing new, the latest was Sea Ravage. I might expand my search to North Olmsted and to Avon. Reports to be expected. Stay tuned... same Bot time, same Bot channel!

Man--you're having no luck at all, LP. Sorry, dude--keep your eyes open and hope for the best!

Attention Akron area collectors: Montrose TRU seems to be the only local store with any new products, but I would also check the Chapel Hill/Akron location for new stuff. You might want to jump on it now, because new products are already selling. Here is what's available:
Masterpiece Grimlock: 2 left
Green Devastator: 2 left
Banzaitron: 1 left
Battle Blades Optimus Prime: 0 left (I got him)
Speedstars 2-packs: 1 left- Jetfire and Megatron.
Speedstars single packs: New stock in, get them while you can because oddly, they seem to sell quickly.
Rampage Among the Ruins 3-pack: About 4-6 left.

You know, I noticed that those Speed Stars and the Battlers that pop out do sell quite well. I can see why, I have a two-year-old who would recognize the characters and appreciate the transformation without the complication of a figure. HEY! WAKE UP! That wasn't that boring! Didn't get a chance to go out hunting. Probably Tuesday. My work schedule has filled my life up to the hilt. Oh, anyone want an Animated Rodimus? We still have 2 up here... A couple Ironhides as well. Don't know how long they'll last, but it's definately a restock from last time I saw them. Let me know, and I'll see what I can do! See y'all later!

Hey guys its been a minute! lol i have started college up in columbus ( COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN) its been great besides the fact my transformer hunting and buying has went down the drain but i stopped by the TRU in beavercreek and was able to pick up the animated Rodimus minor so that was a nice homecoming present lol. They had the ironhide too but i passed on him because im not sure if hes worth getting..

Is he ganna be that one of the two that has 100 of him on the pegs?? if so ill pass if not i might go back and get him .

ALSO guys is there any places in the dayton area with the wave two of generations and wfc figures any where??

Well guys i went to Tri-county area and Kenwood mall area on Saturday and didnt see anything Transformers wise out there.
I was hoping to get Blurr and Dirge, but my luck was not lucky enough.

Nothing new at the Tiffin Walmart either. I'm going to check the one in Ottawa today..hoping for Terradive or Tomahawk...

Decided to take a ride to Wal-Mart in Miamisburg tonight and found wave 2 of the Generations line. Picked up 1 (of 2) WFC Soundwave, 1 (of 1) WFC Megatron, 1 (of 2) Red Alert (The other one there has bad paint apps), and 1 (of 1) Darkmount. They also had 1 or 2 each of the wave 2 2pk PCC combiners. Even had the wave 2 legends there as well. THey also had wave 2 of the movie line (Elita-1, Hailstorm, Sidearm Sideswipe, Tuner Skids). The new Genline was mixed in w/ the movie line.

Nothin new up here.... sorry. But, I will let you know when I get Terradive BEFORE YOU!!! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

Thanks Lucius Prime, it took me some time to find awesome art work of the Seacons, but i was in luck and stumble across it. Since i got the Seacon set from BBTS, them and my CD upgraded G1 Devastator have been my pride and joy....ALOT! About Terradive, well im about ready to give up on him....NOT

As of yesterday i saw:

Walmart in Moraine was 1 Red Alert and thats it

Walmart by the Dayton mall have 3 Hailstorms, 2 SA Sideswipes, 3 Tuner Skids and 2 Elita-1's.

Nothing new at the Walmart on Tiffin Avenue in Findlay, or at the one in Tiffin itself. At this rate, Terradive and Tomahawk will arrive sometime in January of 2012...

I again checked the Montrose TRU for new deluxes. I was completely shocked beyond belief to find a full stock of:
2 Sea Attack Ravages
2 Animated Cybertron Ratchets
12-15 Tuner Mudflaps
That is seriously all they have in deluxes. NOT kidding, and no exaggerations.
In Power Core Combiners:
2 packs:
Overstock of Smolder, Huffer, and the white helicopter guy.
5 packs:
2 Skyburts
That's seriously all.
Voyager:
Banzaitron, Night Ops Ratchet, and the hovercraft guy. That's it.
Speed Stars:
Single packs:
Overstock of Bee, NEST Bee, and Prime. One Soundwave left.
2 packs:
Jetfire and Megatron, Optimus Prime and Long Haul. Only two they have.
On the bright side, there are still 2 Masterpiece Grimlocks, 4 Green Devastators, and 4 Rampage 3 packs

Lol--slim pickings here too, OptiMagnus. I know your pain.

The Lord is good... For the longest time, we (as a family) have had a hard time keeping up with the bills and other monetary responsibilities. My hours at work have gone to about 60 a week. And they decided to hire me in from the temp agency! I think, finally, we may start to recover. Now, I know all that's cheesy... But the reason that I mention it is because we went to TRU today. They got in their MP Grimlocks. And we were able to pick it up! How's that?! AND... ROTF Voyagers are on sale 50% off. My wife picked up Mindwipe that she wanted for only $9.99! All in all, a good good night for us and for Transformers! *END OF SERMON!!*

Thank you! Someone else understands without bragging on their latest findings down south or wherever. Hey, from what I see, us NE Ohioans should move to Dayton lol. I guess I can't complain too much, because I got Battle Blades Optimus @ TRU, who I had been searching for like the Holy Grail. But he's still pretty much the only figure I've found that is post-wave 1.

No slagging way! You're so lucky. The only ROTF voyagers we have now are Desert Tracker Ratchet and The Fallen for $22.99 each.

The Lima area is always feast or famine with new TF stock. It's extremely spotty, despite having a Kmart, two Walmarts, and a TRU in town. Generally speaking, though, if something shows up in Toledo's TRU's, that means it's probably at the one here in town, since both towns are served from the same warehouse.

Hey, y'all! Just a quick check-in! Went to Kmart, and Rainman was right... Kmart sucks! Well, I guess they did have a legends pack with a blue Jetfire, Blazing Fallen, and a couple others. So, if you're looking for those and you feel like spending $25 on Legends class repeats, then there you go! Oh, and just in case you missed them, they got a Scalpel and Nightbeat and a couple others from that wave. Okay, time to go eat dinner! Peace, losers! LOL

Nothing at the Meijer's in Lima. Very poorly stocked on HFTD deluxes--but then, they're usually even further behind the curve than the rest of Lima is...

Hey, that's pretty cool! Nice to see an uplifting job story in today's economy. On a related note, the TRU on Sawmill Rd. on the NW side of Columbus had no less than a dozen Masterpiece Grimlock's sitting on the shelves (no Animated Ironhide or Rodimus, though... ). Picked one up...and then put it down. With that many left, I'm rolling the dice and waiting for a sale or a coupon or something. Wish me luck!
