The Energon Pub

I recently bought the new Dark of the Moon: Deluxe Class - Optimus Prime. It's a pretty good figure, but their some cons about it. First of all, the front part (hood) of the truck is suppose to be the arm (according to the movies) but instead, it just stays there, I mean the part actually just stays on Optimus Prime's back and that just makes an awkward look. But still, it is a pretty cool figure, but as a personal opinion, I would prefer the Voyager Class - Optimus Prime over the Deluxe Class, only reason is because it looks a bit more detailed and like a prototype of the Live Action Optimus Prime. LOL. But if you're collecting Optimus Prime toys or looking for a cheap and small (6 inch) toy, I definetely recommend it. But I don't recommend it if you're only gonna be buying one Optimus Prime.

P.S. If you are gonna buy this, remember, this is a Walmart Exclusive product.

I was quite looking forward to picking this one up, but I now refuse to buy it. A while back when the WM exclusives started showing up in my area I almost bit the bullet right then and there.

This particular store dropped all of the regular DOTM deluxes to $5.00 a pop, but left the "exlusives" at $12.99. Needless to say there is not even a single regular deluxe figure to be found in this store now. They recently reset theirs toy section once again, giving the Transformers section almost a whole aisle.

What is in this aisle do you ask? Basic HA figs, and Cyberverse figures. Oh, and a enclosed display for that Ultimate OP with not even a single one on the shelves to sell, or a price for it anywhere to be seen.

They now have, I **** you not, an entire endcap of noting but that deluxe OP AT FULL PRICE.

This is going to be a pain in the ass if I have to resort to online purchases at full rape prices just to get the figures that this store *should* be stocking.

Once again, Wal Mart at its finest. Next time I'm there I'm bringing a camera with to show everyone the sorry state this store is in.

By the way, this is the west side WM in Appleton WI.

Ok, rant over.
