The Energon Pub

Hey guys.
Im on my way to go hunting in a few and was wondering if anyone would like me to keep an eye out for anything for them?
I dont require compensation, but I would need to be repaid. Just the cost of the figure and shipping.
While this may not help out U.S. fans a whole lot, It would hopefully help fellow fans in areas outside of the U.S.
I hope this is in the correct area. I didnt know weather to put it in for sale area or figure area, so I just put it here because Id think more folks look here.
Anyways, Im heading out in an hour or so. Take care!

not one response!! Dont I feel stupid. I picked up a kick back, magnus, side swipe and starscream all extra if anyone needs those figures.'
If I havnt heard something by tonight I guess Ill take them back to the store.
If anyone need any of those let me know asap.
I cant imagine people who are supposed to be paying fifty bucks for a deluxe not jumping on a 17 dollar plus shipping price.
Take care.

Typically these types of threads would go in the Toy Sightings forum, and would get more of a response in the thread for your home state (Or country if you are outside the US).

Most people, if they are going to coordinate prefer to get store sightings so they can hit the stores in their area rather than trying to coordinate getting the toy from a 3rd person.

Hope that helps.

Gah. Wrong thread.

Yeah. I was hoping to help out people in cities and states that dont restock often, or people abroad that have to pay jacked up prices. I guess.fans would rather find em on their own. I cant blame em. I like finding them myself too!

Guys Im gonna take these figures back this evening, so if anyone wants em speak up soon.
Take care.

I would gladly take up your offer 'prez but I've spent my budget for this month.

Unfortunately importing from the USA is even more expensive most of the time than our UK RRP. £ to $ conversion, then post and possible import charges all add up
(Not trying to turn this into another price argument honest)

I've only really ever bought stuff from the US via eBay, so I've no idea if the postage charge is reasonable etc. I've never looked at UPS online etc. for prices.

I reckon we are weeks away from Kreo combiners and Generation Voyagers here in the UK as Soundwaves data disks have come out this last week or so. These are the main things I'm after at the mo that would be US retail.
I may go for a MP Thundercracker (with head ). How much is he around your parts?


Edit, what's going on with the spam filter? When I go into edit it reads as it should?

Well If you ever need a U.S. Pal to send you a figure without price gouging you, send me a P.M.

Unfortunately importing from the USA is even more expensive most of the time than our UK RRP. trying to get by the spam filter.. NO. to $ conversion, then post and possible import charges all add up

oooooooh. So thats how they get you. It would cost me like 30 bucks to ship over seas hu?.....mother *******.
I know your not trying to start a price argument. Let me take this opportunity to extend the olive branch and apologize for the wreckloose way I responded to your post a few weeks back.

Again, If you need help getting figs, Let me know. As for M.P. Fig, I have never seen one.
I know we get them, but they come like one at a time and I never seem to catch them. I think theyre around 130 bucks maybe?
If you really want one, Ill make it a mission to find you one.
Take care pal.

Don't worry about it, cheers.

I was just asking about MP TC as I was thinking of getting a 2nd, as I'd like to have him displayed in both modes. I paid nearly £100 inc postage, plus hit for another £38 tax on my first USA MP TC off a eBay seller based in the states.

Yeah. My intent is not to make a profit off fans, but rather to help them procure their figures without having to be charged jacked up prices simply because they love their hobby.
If you want a second T.C.,Ill ask my stock boy pals to hang on to one for me. Ill buy it, send you the price and tel you what it would cost me to ship it to you and thats all the money Id need. Just pay for the figure and shipping and thats it pal.
If you decided it would cost too much, No problem. Ill just take it back.
Let me know bro!

Could ya just put the feelers out on a price lol, don't be going and dropping $100 just yet lol
