The Energon Pub

I just got back from Legends Action Figures on St-Hubert street in Montreal. To all Montreal-based Seibertronians, grab your metro tickets and run like hell!

Legends got a bunch of used figures. The guy who sold them kept them in great condition and most are complete, some with instructions. I bought me a Transmetal Megatron and Transmetal Tarantulas (both in good condition, complete w/instructions). Here's what I remember seeing:

- BW Depthcharge (Complete, no instructions)
- G2 Jazz (Complete, on damaged spanish card)
- TM Optimus Primal (not sure if complete)
- BM Buzzsaw (complete)
- BW TM Cheetor (not sure if complete)
- G1 Kup (missing gun)
- G1 Rodimus Prime (missing hand-held rifle, major sticker wear)
- BW TM Rattrap (complete)
- BW Basic Gator Megs (Complete)
- BW Basic Terrorsaur (missing gun, of course!)
- BM Fuzor Silverbolt (complete)
- G1 Starscream (missing 1 missile and I'm not sure what else)
- G1 Shockwave (damaged leg, can hardly stand up, not sure if electronics work, but grey gunbarrel is included and the black hose is still connected)
- various smaller figures such as Mini-Cons and Spychangers

Not to mention two of the hottest chicks I've ever seen.

I was visiting my family in Toronto.

Wait, are you from Quebec originally or from the Tdot? I confused...

I'm from La Belle Province, but I have family in Toronto; I was just visiting them.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that Legends also has a BW TM2 Dinobot 2 (complete, no instructions) and a BM Blackarachnia (not sure if complete).

The stock in that Blackarachnia will skyrocket once the Animated figure is released.

That's not hard to believe!

Hah, I suppose so. The old picture was better. And there's way hotter chicks everywhere around here.

Man, there is still absolutely nothing around here. I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't even bother checking, especially at Zellers.

I met two of the girls that work there this year at TransformersCon. One was the hot asian type and the other broke gods mold on hotness. Short black hair and the best arse I've ever seen... I mean, ya, nothing new around here either...

Hah, well I'm just sayin'... hot they may be, but hot chicks are a dime a dozen around here, if I may say so without being too politically incorrect.

Anyways, on the A3U front, they just restocked a huge amount of Beast Wars & Beast Machines. Where they came from, I have no idea, but if you're in the lower mainland and need some beast figures, check it out. They also have some of the harder-to-find WSTs, including Jazz, Prowl, Starscream, Soundwave, and Bumblebee. Prices aren't much better than eBay, however. Oh, and one more thing, a G1 Sixshot, in pretty damn good condition, from what I could tell, for $59.99. I dunno if that's a good price.

Now, some news from Metro TRU, while not great, it's a step in the right direction. The drought will be ending tomorrow... with wave 1.5 figures. So if anybody needs a Bonecrusher, Swindle, Voyager (& Leader) Megatron, or Leader Prime, you better get there early. I'll be waiting however many months it takes for them to stock 08 Bumblebee.

Keep it in your pants, guys... Remember, we're talking about TOY sightings, not chick sightings in this thread!

Sorry dude, I always choose T N'A over Autobots and Decepticons.

But as always you have a point. I'll do my best to keep it straight sightings. No promises though!

Can't blame you; T&A FTW!

Oh Geez, I did see something today that I haven't seen anywhere other then in novelty stores. Titanium Soundwave. Two of them at the Uxbridge Wal-mart.

Pssh... you mean it's not the Official Canadian Sightings AND General Chat Just Happening To Be About Hot Chicks Thread? Dang.

Hmm...well... Zellers still has nothing, unless you want some TF jigsaw puzzles or Cybertron minicons...

It's all good.

Anyway, I should have posted this earlier but I guess I got carried away!

From The 11 of August until the 17, TRU Canada will be having a sale on Real Gear Robots! They will be half-priced, marked down from $9.99 to $4.97. Limit 4 per family, though, so choose wisely and/or come back more than once!

Hahaha, I just bought Booster x10. Oh well, it's only 5 bucks. At any rate, last time I went, there weren't any Laserbeaks left.

I figure I'll just grab a Booster on sale. He'll be my Classics Laserbeak. I'm sure he'll look good perched on my custom Classics Megs' (repainted G2 Hero Megs) arm.

He is an awesome Laserbeak, I have him perched on Alt Ravage's back, behind my G1 & Cybertron Soundwaves

Edit: Nevermind about the PMing, it's fixed.

As for sightings, I plan to go back to Metrotown today and see what's left of the TRU display.

I tapped out on the weekend and bought Meantime. I didn't want to, but I was sad so I bought it and I was awsomely surprised by it's awsomeness. I'll for sure capitalize on Booster 10x, Zoom out and High Score.

Brossard TRU:
- Voyager Megs is there (only one)
- the Deluxes are running out (only Wreckage, Brawl, and the protoforms remain, it seems), so with luck the new Wave will come in soon
- the Real Gear sale is in full swing, all Real Gears are there except for the Watch and Controller
- still no Robot Heroes Megs/Magnus, Soundwave/Bumblebee, etc.
- the G1 Prime and Megs punching lollipops are in, but at $5.99 a pop (no pun intended), they're not really worth it

Brossard The Bay [Champlain Mall]:
- Robot Replicas Megs, Bumblebee, and Barricade are in stock. No price stickers, though, and I didn't remember to scan them.
- Slumblebee and Softimus are in stock, bu overpriced ($19.99 each!)

Brossard Sears [Champlain Mall]:
- Slumblebee and Softimus are in stock, $17.99 each

Brossard Wal-Mart:
- still no Robot Heroes Megs/Magnus, Soundwave/Bumblebee, etc.
- Real Gear Controller and Watch are in stock

Legends Action Figures (St.-Hubert Street, Montreal):
- the figures I mentioned on page 31 are all gone except for BW TM2 Dinobot and BM Buzzsaw. The guy who bought G2 Jazz didn't take his gun. Also, an Alt. Jazz is available, $25

As of 7:30PM-ish: The Promenades St-Bruno Wal-Mart had a lone Meantime and High Score mixed in with the other Real Gear Bots. Zellers right next door had 2 TT 6" Soundwaves and a single Rodimus Prime, Movie ice Megs and Starscream. Also found (and purchased) the Robot Heroes BB/Soundwave pack. Didn't get a chance to go at the TRU since it closed at 6 o'clock. Darnit.

Brossard TRU now has the Robot Replicas Bumblebee, Barricade, and Megatron. Also available are Legends Blackout, Starscream, Megs, and Prime (Ratchet, Jazz, Bumblebee and Barricade have been there for a while), FAB Blackout, and Deluxe Swindle.

No sign of Meantime nor High Score, so I just bought High Score from the Walmart down the road.

Did you take a TRU flyer? I hope you didn't pay full price!

I also found Barricade (Robot Replicas) but that was the only one, at the TRU in Mississauga.

I didn't even think of that...
