The Energon Pub

So I made a quick stop at the Kmart on Harding Highway in Lima, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually had new stock in! Picked up RTS Tracks--three of him left on the pegs, along with three Mindsets and one Fallback.

TRU by the Dayton mall has 2 Thunderwings and 2 Dirges both highly recommended.

I nabbed a Turbo Tracks yesterday at Meijers, but be careful mine have tiny blemishes in the plastic mold and so now i may have to take him back if i can find another one.

Stock--on your Tracks, when he's in car mode, does the rear section/trunk sit flush with the rest of the car body? The one on mine doesn't completely--not enough to make the car look bad, but just enough to bug the hell out of me.

Hey Doc

On my Tracks, he's flush all the way around, no gaps or being uneven, but i havent transformed him either cause of the blemishes in the plastic mold, so im waiting to see another and swap him out.

Nice to hear from ya man and keep in touch.

Hmmm...must be just mine, then. Then again, the other three that I saw at Kmart that night all looked like the rear car sections weren't sitting flush either.

Still a cool fig, though--sorry to hear about the bad plastic on yours.

Greetings, Autobots! (and Cons, I guess....LOL) See, I thought I was gonna be all cool over here and tell you guys that I picked up a Skullgrin and saw WFC Cliffjumper. But as always, y'all are way ahead of me in the game. That's okay, though! I still got him and I am still happy. Did you guys see the double packs at WalMart? One is Ironhide/Bonecrusher and the other is Starscream/Mudflap. Oh, and I saw the Crossovers Ghost Rider. Basically his arms and legs fold down and his head pops out. Like no real transformation at all. Pass. That's all from the Northern front! See ya around!

I nabbed a RTS Tracks at Meijer tonight it it's trunk section wasn't flush w the rest of the car body. It is just enough to be annoying. I pushed it up and in and it looked a little better. Don't really care though since he will be in robot mode on my shelf. Plastic also looked good on the one that i got. Now to decide if i want to get the Reprolabel upgrade stickers?

Well, I have seen at least one of every figure from waves 1-4 and Generations wave 5...

EXCEPT FOR BLURR.

Forgot to post this earlier today, but when I was at Meijer in Lima, I was surprised to see that they had in 2 Skullgrins, 1 Dirge, 3 Cliffjumpers, and 2 Thunderwings.

Yesterday: Meijers in Kettering have 2 Mindsets and 2 Fallbacks and nothing else.
Kmart on Indian ripple have 2 Tear away face Fallens, 2 Mindsets and 2 Fallbacks.

Looking for another Tracks cause mine has bad plastic mold blemishes, any help would be great.

Stopped by Meijer last night on 725 and they had pretty much the same thing. They did have one thing that everyone is looking for though. Low and behold there was a Blurr laying upside down on the shelf underneath the pegs. I quickly grabbed it and knew something was off w/ the packaging. I turned it over and some @$$ had crammed an Acid Storm figure into the packaging where Blurr was suppose to be and retaped the blister. Grrrrr....

LOL! i saw that too on Friday and i was pissed about that, who did it is a turd and a douche big time!! I'll post pics of it later on.

See, I'm weird. I would've loved to find an Acidstorm.. I saw the Blurr at WalMart and I really wasn't impressed with him seeing as how he's just a repaint. I would love to add Acidstorm to my G1 seekers. I think I'll check TRU and see if they have a sale so I can pick up a Dirge.

LP, you might want to check pharmacies like CVS, Walgreen's, Rite Aid, etc. for Acid Storm. I know I've seen him in one of those types of stores in either Findlay or Tiffin within the past few months.

Any help finding Blurr would be great! Thanks all

So I think I got hosed with RTS Jazz...picked him up today, and I cannot, under any attempts, get his legs to transform. I can't tell if he was misassembled or not, but nothing works, not even watching online transformations and reviews. He's a cool figure--but this one is pretty much unusable, it seems. Anyone else having trouble with his legs?

I actually found Blurr last night at a local Target! the paint apps arent bad but could be a hell of alot better though!

Sorry Doc, but about Jazz, but i think for him im ordering the United version.

Lol--I exchanged him and got another one this morning. Hoping this one goes better...

And congrats on getting Blurr! I still haven't seen him in Lima anywhere.

Great Doc, i hope this Jazz is alot better than the previous.

Yeah im happy that i found Blurr, but still his paint apps arent the greatest, but better than most ive seen and Blurr seem to be showing up alot around the West Chester, Hamilton area.

Thankfully, this Jazz actually worked. He's currently guarding my desk at work, along with Tracks.

Sweet Doc! ill be able open Blurr and another Transformer my wife got me for Christmas and let them guard my desk, but until then its open for Decepticons to runamuck!

Has anyone bought a Leader Class Starscream and if so what do you think about it? I am kind of on the fence right now. Thanks for any input.

He's awesome. Pure and simple as that. Easily one of my fave figs of the past year or two.

Too be honest with you Shok, im done with movie based toys and even with the new movie coming, im doubtful ill get anything of those TF-3 toys as well. All i can say is that, i'll be very happy when the movie and the movie based toys come to a end and only then will hasbro/takara can really focus on what fans and collectors want. Also, if your interested and still have some movie toys and im selling them if your interested.
