The Energon Pub

Yeah, aside from one store a month or so ago, northern Indiana has not seen anything past TR wave 3 in deluxe class.

Nice apollyon.

36 still in the box?

Cant speak for the rest of the US, but here in miami nothing. Last month we got a small run of octanes and blitzwings in target. And a few brawns and chases showed up in walmart but thats it. They all gone now.

Damn, I assumed you guys were swimming in the new TF's months before we see them

Unfortunately. I got the reissue pre-ordered, which I'll open regardless but I hope the chipping issues are addressed.

Noice shelves! That Artfire looks good with Star Saber (I need one of him). Cannot wait to get my newer MP's to add to my shelf, and to move in to a house/apartment where I can set mine up better

Masterpieces, Shaj....

I went on the hunt today (Oregon), and saw lots of TLK. There was MP10 at TRU, though! I didn't have the funds, unfortunately.

If you can manage, do it. Much like G1 Prime, this is something everyone TF fan needs in his collection!

It's my goal this week to do some trade/sales, Shaj! I think my store has MP10....as well as a version of Unicron. I still don't have any version of him, so I may be tempted to get him first. >_<

And I got the Eness swords comin!!I can't wait to see Shattered-D with one!

If only I had the moneys for that right now

Platty Unicron? So expensive..... I grew up with TFTM and feel everyone needs at least 1 Unicron, but I can't justify that price. I'd highly recommend MP10 over that Unicron.

Nice. The red jewelled ones?

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:If only I had the moneys for that right now

Don't worry, they have a few

Oh yeah, I emailed to confirm those Eness swords had the red jewels before ordering -- had to! But I wasn't as careful with space walrus Longtooth -- he had a minty shell and tight joints, but no vehicle front hood. I shoulda asked but it was a good deal....it wouldn't be if I bought another innerbot.

And I hear ya on MP10, Shaj. But being short on funds (as well as having MPP10 as my placeholder) and having the option to trade towards TF Armada Unicron (MISB, $120) appealed to the trader in me. My son also requested Unicron so I couldn't really say no. :pI then picked up Hordak (loose, $12) to make today's haul not 100% TF lol

I'm still really hoping for a PotP Star Saber. He works into the leader gimmick so well! He needs to happen, and I need one of him eventually

YES! I never thought of that, but he'd be a perfect addition to POTP

I have yet to own any incarnation of Star Saber, so yes please PotP!

shajaki wrote:everyone needs at least 1 Unicron

Or three.

If you have 3, Burn, which one do you like the most? Armada Unicron is my first and maybe last, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on them.

I still want DAT LAMP tho

Can't say I have a preference really. I probably should get rid of two of them.

Unicron.... I love me some Unicron. It was seriously one of my happiest (collecting) days of my life when I got Armadacron in hand. I'd only been waiting since the mid 80's

I've got every version except the newest one (which is 99% the same as Amacron) and my favorite... is probably the Black Enercron. Something about him. Headcannon like, he's a dead zombie'ish version of the one who died in TFTM

Got this guy on the cheap today



So.... he's not bad.
I really didn't like the Legion Abominus, so I wasn't too excited about this. But it's a bit bigger and a bit better. It's pretty limited in what it can do, but looks pretty badass. Not to mention we're not likely to get a better version. After the coupon, I'm ok with it.

Black Enercron looks really cool, and actually sought him out on eBay! But never pulled the trigger.

I was happy to trade towards Armadacron though -- I'm happy to finally have a Unicron.

*searches eBay*

A patient frugal buyer could nab a loose complete Black Unicron for about a hundred bucks.

Speaking of Planetformers.... with Infernocus popping up at my TRU the yesterday, I hope that opens the floodgates for more TLK TRU Exclusives... specifically this beauty

Oh man, that Primus deco is so cool. I've seen him and held him in my hands, but dang it there is no room in the 'Tron for that guy. Especially with the OG holding court.

He is a beaut!

I'd really like to get that Primus, but not for $150. If he drops to $120ish or lower, I will pull the trigger. I need that mold and the colors are fantastic!

I love the new Primus/Cybertron deco, too -- but there's a part of me hoping to get him for $60 at Ross Dress 4 Less around Xmas time.

And yes, I totally considered a loose Necrocron for ~100, shaj! But I do have Armadacron now, so that itch has been satisfied.

And then I heard about a Takara LG re-release (?) for Titan-class Metroplex for next March!! $250+ is too much for me, though. ;_;

At least MP Megz 2.0 will come to me....

Yeah.... I'm actually pretty surprised people aren't complaining about the price. I mean, it IS cheaper than the first issues on the aftermarket, and it IS a TakaraTomyMall exclusive... but damn. I have the HK ACG-Con Metroplex, which at the time was all I wanted, but after double dipping on Max I kinda want all the Metro's now. Doubt I'll bother though

bodrock wrote:At least MP Megz 2.0 will come to me....

Yeah, I'm hoping to have one I can actually open this time

I hope we can open Megz 2.5 as well -- the thought of instant paint-chippage during transformation is heartbreaking.
