The Energon Pub

So! Thanks to customs, my LG Trypticon (which we now know is NO DIFFERENT than Hasbro's) is now almost a total of 400 bucks....



It's in hand now. I was so bitter about the cost and Takara's lazy ass that I thought I couldn't enjoy it. But then I opened it. I'm happy again

I am glad you are happy

I too am also happy for your happiness!

Good pose!

Always glad to see more Trypi. Will we be seeing base mode stuff soon?

Maybe after I'm done chasing my dogs around the living room going "RAAWWRRRR"

Love 'im, Shaj! More pics with Full Tilt, too, plz!

Folks, I can't even tell you how much I've been working lately. Pretty much, if I'm home I'm sleeping. Or napping. Or having a nap that turns into bedtime.
So Typy only only got a lil posing tonight

AWESOMENESS

Full Tilt is now too cool to be a simple breastplate for Trypto.

He looks great Shajaki!! It'll be a bit before I get mine, but He looks brilliant!

Haul of randomness! And man am I ever getting a lot of severed heads in the mail lately



All the Lion Kings on Bluray, GOTG 2 Steelbook (randomly came back in stock online, yay retail!), Repro's (Action Master Prime!), and the a new head for Diabattles (some show exclusive, antennae in hard plastic).

I gots to get me them.

I definitely need dat Blitzwing! Next time I see him, he shall be mine...

Octane looks awesome too but I'm trying to convince myself I don't want him

BBTS?

Tipsy impulsive A3U purchase

These two did a flip on me. I was more interested in Blitzy (childhood nostalgia) and he turned out to be a QC nightmare. Nothing fits together as tight as my Megatron, he's got a scratch on his chest and poor paint on his visor, and his stickers are atrocious. Octane on the other hand, I didn't care about but was a pleasant surprise. Fits together well, looks great, and really OWNS the mold.

So hopefully I can still find Blitz in store for a swap out, but I wouldn't be heartbroken I spose.

So I didn't realize you got that awesome Diaclone esque Convoy!! And what the heck?! LG Trypticon was $400?! FOR WHY?! That dang Yen, so strong right now.

Also, Action Master Optimus labels for the TR voyager Optimus look AWESOME and I can't wait to read what you think about them!

For shipping and duty fees. You'll correct me if I am wrong Shajaki, but your base price for the figure alone wasnt too far off from the price he would have been in stores here right?

That's lame though WJ! Duty fees are exactly what they sound like.

Trypticon looks great, Maybe I can grab him... Fort Max is stepping on Sentinel Prime at the moment.

Octone does look pretty sweet. I am passing on Blitz, but Octone looks so good, and looks even better every time i see him. I adore Laser Prime, so I know the mold is awesome, and I need that Octone. He's also the last voyager figure I'll be getting this year, so he has that distinction too

What if POTP arrives before the new year?

Where I live, even if things start showing in December, I won't see them till January or February. Even when Titans return came, I didn't see my first figure (other than a legends class) until mid August, and even then it wasn't until September that more than 1 store had them

Two Primes. One marked the death of the franchise, the other couldn't revive it

Hooray!! Action Master and Laser meet for fun times!!

True statements, Shaj -- but Laser was pretty cool! He was our go-to Prime after my G1 original's arms fell off. ;_;
