The Energon Pub

Long time no post, eh guys? How's it going? I noticed Carbombya's open again, when did that happen?

Anyways, Ages Three And Up has a new location, next to Toys R Us in the lower part of Metrotown.

Last I saw, they had a bunch of Landmines and newer Deluxes, Nightwatch Primes, and for some strange reason, the Titanium Motormaster from SDCC. Plus the usual assortment of loose and other figures. There also happen to be maybe 2 Masterpiece Megatrons in stock.

They've also got a plethora of preorders for upcoming items. Check it all out at http://agesthreeandup.com

No, I don't work for them. Just supporting my local independent toy store!

Good to hear from you bro. I fully support 3-up. Maybe I'll take a stroll down there just to pick up a SDCC Menasor.

Thanks for the heads up!

I recently spotted the Allspark Scouts (Warpath, hovercraft, etc) at the Zellers in Place Longueuil in Longueuil, Quebec.

No worries! I was there about a week ago though, so I dunno if they've still got all that stuff. Hah, oh yeah I forgot they called him Menasor .

Hmm. You live around here? I thought you were in Ontario for some reason.

Oh I do, but I may be out that way this weekend. Besides, I'd drive any distance to talk to the chick with the short dark hair and the A+ body again

I was at Toys Toys Toys at the downtown Toronto Eaton Centre and they had all of the new ones from Deluxe up to Leader. Jungle Bonecrusher, Blockade, Landmine, Nightwatch Prime, Incinerator, the blue coloured Ironhide and lots more. However, do not actually purchase from these guys since they massively jack up their prices to insane amounts.

Deluxe - $19.99
Voyager - $49.99
Leader - $99.99

Just use this as a note that the regular retailers will be getting them soon or may already have them.

Ya TTT is way too expensive for my tastes.

I have to admit TTT is the worse toy store out there. they have some rare things you might loose out on but i will never ever pay the prices that they are asking.

i mean i got TF Movie Bumblebee for $14 at walmart...and TTT wants $40!!!

TTT, stay away from that store.

I had already posted that Nightwatch Prime was available at TRU Dufferin Mall a few weeks ago. Rather pay $59.99 for it than the $99.99 at TTT! Downshift is too right about the inflated prices. TFM BB '08 was priced at like $70! Those guys are crooks. Amazing they sell anything!

Judging by there overstock, they don't sell much.

Agreed. Don't know how they stay in business!

HELLLLOOOO

Haha, nice. I actually haven't seen her around lately, but then I haven't been to the store as much as I used to because my job's in another area now. I also have the sneaking suspicion that she's actually the store owner's wife. Well that's cool that you'll be around here.

You guys were talking about the inflated prices at TTT, we have a place like that too... Soul of Anime in Richmond center, they have unnaturally inflated prices. Both Encore Convoy & Megatron were over $100...most of their stock doesn't move very fast either. I'm so glad to have A3U.

^ Whoops, that was me...

I wish Western Canada would get these convention things, I'd like an opportunity to blow a huge wad of cash on TFs!

I was thinking the same thing but not at the Expo. I was thinking about putting the collection on eBay. May wait 'til the Spring though. Good luck at the Expo and hope that you raise some good coin. Saving up for the bid day Mesh?

It's all good. We all have to make sacrifices when it comes to such things. Hope you do well at the convention with the sales bud!

I went to my local Wal-Mart in Ontario to see if they had any new Transformers movie figures as the last few weeks the pegs of deluxe had been completely empty. Instead of finding new figures, however, they had put up several cases of the first wave of movie figures (70's Camaro Bumblebee, Jazz, Brawl, Wreckage, etc.).

Old stock or is Hasbro turning out these figures again?

I saw that too but I did find some new figs as yet unreported I believe. TFM Legends Nightwatch OP vs Stealth SS and Ironhide vs Desert Blackout. Alongside those I also found Capture of BB and Desert Attack Battle Scenes. Good day overall!

I saw those too. It would seem they were reported sometime last week.

Hey DS weren't you looking for the Capture BB Battle Scene?

Well I went to A3U again yesterday and they're unfortunately all out of the Menasors, just wanted to let you know Down_Shift.

They do have all of the newer movie figs except Incinerator though...I picked up the last one of those.

They also stocked all the newest IDW comics. I was going to get Spotlight volume 2 but decided to get the last in-store Hearts of Steel instead.

Zellers Place Alexis Nihon (Montreal) has NO TFs other than 3 G1 Robot Heroes packs and a single Armorhide.

I haven't seen the Capture of Bumblebee set anywhere either yet.

I was at one point, but I found it a little while ago at Wallys in Mississauga.
