The Energon Pub

Something tells me I should save up my haul reports per week Anyhow, found Skyhammer's wavemate:

PCC Heavytread with Groundspike

...in a bargain bin with assorted Wave 1 PCC's. Only one too, so I consider myself really lucky. Only two more 2-packs (Undertow and Salvage) and four 5-packs to go, then my PCC collection is complete.

[-Kanrabat-]

Went by bike to my not so local clearance toy shop.

All of these are brand new, and the cards are not too beated up.

Transformers Movie 2007 Legends Megatron
Transformers Movie 2007 Legends Starscream
Transformers Universe 2008 Legends Hound
Transformers Marvel Crossover Hulk (green tank)
GI Joe 2008 Cobra Commander.

How much do you think the whole lot cost me, all taxes included? Come on, try to guess!

14.50$CAN

Quite a nice haul, is it not?

[RAcast]

Definitely a great haul! Nice find with the Hulk, are you going to tear it apart for an awesome upgrade?

I just planned to sell it because that would be my 3rd. Still you got me curious about that "uprade" you mentioned.

You've never seen the mod for the Energon scramble combiners?

It's perfectly doable with Bruticus as well.

Woah.. This give me an idea. I have a spare 2007 Movie Voyager Starscream. I wonder if I could fuse both him and Xover Hulk to make some kind of triple changing Blitzwing? I never done any customs before so I may bite more than I can chew...

Edit: Oh yeah, and a 2007 Deluxe Brawl too, to add to that crazy project of mine.

Sounds like an interesting project. Humorously enough, my 07 Thundercracker is chilling here on my desk at the moment. I can kind of visualize how that might work.

OMG OMG OMG! YES! YES!!!

This WILL work!
Here's a very rough sketch of what I have in mind for the tank mode:

It WILL be a triple changer. The 2007 Movie Screamers is very bulky in it's underside as it is and it would be challenging, but doable! As for painting, I thought using the infamous "paint pens".

LET'S DO THIS THING!
(Will create a new thread for this very project pretty soon.)

Nice The mold is so bulky anyway, it lends itself well to being remade into Blitzwing. xD

I gave in to my addiction, damnit.

Purchased PCC Icepick and Destructicon set. For about £30 in total, not too bad, but could have been better had I realised I like these guys when they were still in TRU.

EDIT: Excellent. Just bought DoubleClutz with Rallybots, too. I seriously have no self-control in essay mode..

More cheap overstock goodness:

DotM Human Alliance Half-Track with Major Altitude
DotM Human Alliance Decepticon Drag Strip with Master Disaster

And get this: this time it's US packaging, English only. And 50% regular retail. Me's a happy bunny.

[waaaaghlord]

^ Good scores. I'm thinking about ordering the set of 4 HA Basics on the Home Bargains website for £20 this weekend, just not entirely convinced that it's definitely going to be the 4 pictured that they send. If I do end up with some doubles they'll be worth it as trade fodder at that price.

Picked up PRiD Ratchet today. Probably the best execution from the PRiD line that I've picked up so far, certainly up there with 'Jackie. A couple of sloppy paint aps that weren't evident in package but what I can't tidy up I can live with.

Where'd you find him?

[waaaaghlord]

Tesco. My local has actually had wave 2 for a couple of weeks, but cash has been tight. The Arcee from the case has gone while I've been holding off though unfortunately.

edit- Wave 2 deluxes, nothing past wave one legions, and no voyagers or commanders whatsoever.

Not really into HA, but it's interesting to see we are getting actual US overstock.
Still hoping for those First Editions to get dumped here (at 50% discount???) here. I'd laugh so hard if that happens.

Anyhow, as a real haul, I received a package from an excellent Japanese seller, with the following Smallest Transformers:



And with that GTF-01a Convoy and the Anime accurate trailer, I am finally complete as far as Smallest Transformers molds and recolors / chase items are concerned (I already own a loose Bumble and a loose GTF-01b Convoy Trailer)! I still might look for packaging variations due to the wave 2.5 re-releases, but they have no priority.
Now to find those Wonderfest Smallest Transformers...

[Va'al]

Thanks to Lady_Starscream for waking me up, I have found a lot of Kreons on eBay which includes:

•Sentinel Prime
•Thundercracker
•Soundwave
•Megatron
•Shockwave
•Starscream

Finally got my hands on these awesome little guys!

I'm actually awaiting that very day, FE overstock from Canada to be shipped for cheap to Europe

I guarantee that there will be some elaborate rubbing of pictures in the faces of all these poor, poor 'mericans.

[waaaaghlord]

Snagged another couple of legion Vehicons, bringing the running tally up to 9.

[Breakdown 2099]

Picked up 5 PCC Multipacks (put the pitchforks away people) for a measly $47.50. Considering they were $30 each when they were first released, which, although i really wanted them, never got around to purchasing, i think is a neat little score.

[Cyberseven]

I haven't updated this post in a while so I am not sure where I left off.

I am well into my Prime FE and RID collection now.

Voyagers:
Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, Bulkhead, and (AM-12 Breakdown is on his way)

FE Deluxes:
Arcee, Starscream, Bumblebee, entertainment pck Optimus, entertainment pck Megatron, Arcee & Bumblebee NYCC.

RID Deluxes:
Cliffjumper, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Vehicon (3), Soundwave, Knockout. (2 Takara Jet Vehicons on the way)

RID Cyberverse Commander:
Bulkhead, Ironhide, Megatron, Dreadwing.

Now I am just waiting on some more Voyagers coming out and a couple of Deluxes. After that I will be focusing on FOC.

[waaaaghlord]

Picked up P:CV Ironhide, first time I'd spotted him on a shelf. Okay for what he is and he was a touch under full retail but I'm hoping the inevitable repaint of PRiD Kup is a bit more satisfying.

[fenrir72]

From TRU

Optimus Maximus + a commander class Optimus that goes with him.

Courtesy of waaaaghlord, I now have a DotM Target exclusive Space Case in the post!

[Cyberseven]

I dropped into my local Target today after work, and what do ya know. An employee was just putting out a fresh case of wave 4.

I have to be honest I was really going to pass on both Dead End and A-crapp-nid, but after seeing the Dead End my friend found I changed my mind and I wanted to get him. He is actually very nice in person, and his head sculpt is bad ass. His strange ass colors actually work, and of course this mould is one of the best in the Prime RID line.

Now being that they had A-crapp-nid, the completionist in me had to buy her.

She still sucks in person though, but what are you gonna do....
