The Energon Pub

Seeing as how it might have been a fluk that one TRU sold the MOvie figures i thought that there should be a list of TRU that have also sold them to see if it is possible to buy them at any TRU. If you have bought Movie figures from a TRU post where the TRU is and if they were on shelves or if you asked for them from the back. Good luck to all who are hunting for them.

The sightings section would be awesome for this

1.) SKN: 774550 (this is what you'll need to even know if they're in stock locally.

2.) Confirmed sightings:
Maple Heights, OH. (sold on eBay, but most likely the case came from a local TRU*)

Elyria, OH.*

Beldon Village, OH.*

*= all were in the Cleveland vicinity.

And I confirmed they're in Niles, OH (near the PA border) but they wouldn't sell me a single figure.

I doubt anyone else will have any luck getting these suckers.

After scoping out the employees on shift, I find the most susceptible to my technique.

"Hi, can you do me a favor and see if this is in the back? Thanks... I know you can't sell it yet, but check this out. I'll give you $60 to take out the "garbage" when you get off work tonight. Out at 9:30? Cool, I'll bring a blunt."

Grease the wheels and the world turns for you.

Heh, backdoor deals kinda defeat the purpose. lol

You know... I'll give you that IF you clarify what is the 'purpose'?

I don't collect receipts, just TF's.

Also, since you called me out on it FIRST, I'll pm you when I get a case and tell you what extras I have left for you to pick from...

I am going today after I get off work.. I hope I find something.

Oh, the sighting section has been updated.

Ill take whats left over. And backdoor deals dont defeat the purpose. It tells us that you can get the figures if you can bribe someone. Oh and let me know if the "deal" goes down. So i know if it works.

There's a guy at my local TRU who is mad cool with collectors, he's given me displays before and everything, so I might go tonight and have him get them for me.

I was actually trying (and really failed...) to be funny.

Whatever it takes, do it. lol

NOTE: Jazz is shortpacked at 1 per case. Even Swindle comes 2 to a case.

Dude, just go into your local TRU and look for the pothead. He'll hook you up for weed money and he probably doesn't care too much about his joe-job anyway.

Man, you are just full of helpful advise! Thanks again!

No ****

Ok no more frakin around. If you get a hold of the figures post it here. If you whent and didnt get them also post your faliure. This way people will know if they should try or not. Im about to go to TRU now and try. wish me luck.

Just got back from the TRU in Riverhead NY and they denide even haveing a case. I asked 4 people and they all said the same thing. Hell even th eone guy i know (who is a Transfan) said there was none. And he always tells me when they get new ****. So either they hid the box on him or they didnt get any yet. I shall look more into it at the end of the week. I have a coupon i have to use by the 21st so i have to go back. Or ill try another TRU.

Seeing as how im pissed for wasting my time (well wasnt a complete waste, i found a star war figure i wanteds) im gonna go kill some guys in Rainbow Six Vegas.

Ok.. I went to TRU and asked one of the employees that I am friendly with to look up the number in the system.. She did and at the present time they did not have any of those deluxe in stock.
Se told me to keep trying until they get them and as soon as they show up in the comp as being in stock she would have them pull the case for me..
