The Energon Pub

I'll wait for a sale before considering buying Nemesis. I already have the regular one so I don't have much of an incentive to buy this pricey repaint. Also space is not infinite.

I will be livid if they only let Prime members buy it at all. Maybe that's why I haven't been able to add it to my cart when other's have seen it in stock? If that's the case, then that is poopy.

Prime Day is the day that everyone gets to try out Prime shopping for free so it doesn't really matter if it's Prime only or not (that day anyway). But I doubt it's Prime only, I have Prime and I couldn't order one. I'm sure it was just a fluke that it was available temporarily and some people were lucky enough to snag one.

There is the Takara version right?

It seems so. There is indeed a listing for a Takara PotP Nemesis Prime on Loopaza, and that seems to indicate it will see release through Takara as well!

Yeah, that was cool. Hey, question for you. How does it work for making him into an arm? The robot head keeps getting in the way.

How does the robot head get in the way? Just like all the CW figs before him it just tucks into the body. Blot is the only Terrorcon I plan buy and I had no intention of turning him into a limb, but because I'm a robro-brobot I hooked you up.


I was having a bitch of a time with black plastic this early in the am.

I had no issues and he makes a tidy arm with his claws pegging out of the way. I don't like that gun mount growth on his back in any mode though.

Yup, if you miss out on the Hasbro flavor BBTS, TFS and probably others have the Takara version up for preorders. Just be prepared to pay the import penalty price.

i wonder who got the news credit for reporting it was a prime day release

Power of the Primes Nemesis Prime is currently available to buy for prime members, I just order mine. Get him while he is available.

AWESOME! Thanks Emeraldbwing! I just grabbed one.

A user named retroepxress. They contacted us by e-mail before everyone else.

Wow, that is... incredibly bad stock photography. This is beyond not understanding how to transform the toy; this is someone who has no concept of anatomy or even symmetry. Truly a sight to behold.

Cool also thanks , one a little bit lower on the page is even worse

Yep! This image, as technically improper as it may be, sums up how I was feeling:

Seems he's popping in and out of stock but won't ship until Prime Day regardless of when you place the order. I snagged him when the popped back in stock and have an estimated arrival date of the 17th.

So no despair folks. Easily ordered and availability assured by amiami, rk, hlj, etc.That's my strategy with the PotP figs. Just have to pay the shipping and BAM! It use to be nice to go on a hunt but with TRU( Hb stock distribution very "efficient") dying and specialty shops charging more than a premium, no choice but to got the import route (not RK (their shipping are kind of a killer )this time though, they're my last resort).

Yeah, America is truly better than Canada, all points go to you.

I will just go back to my room and play with my RID Legion Heatseeker and Cyclonus, and TLK Legion Dragonstorm, and deluxe Cogman, and then pay a visit to local toysrus fully stocked with the latest Studio Series.

PS: You guys are lucky I just stuck to toys

Our bacon is still actual bacon, and...that's all I've got.

Ok this is something I really wish to adress and lay a matter to rest. In Canada, bacon IS actual bacon.



Only in the US do you guys call that radom piece of sliced ham canadian bacon. Its similar to how there is no such thing as General Tao chicken in China.

HAHAHA

By the way, since I am in the right thread, this is what my Walmart looked like today:



My TRU didnt actually have the latest studio series figures, they were all sold out. They did have lots of Cogman though.

As far as I'm concerned, both of you and I are North American Scum.

Then where did that random ham called "Canadian" bacon come from? My mind is blown!

ahem ... back on topic.
Why we don't have a thread dedicated to bacon already is beyond me.

*runs those prices through a convertor*
£8.62 a figure! I wish I had those prices for potp figures. Anyone know how much shipping would be from Canada?

I'm guessing more then enough to obliterate any savings

*curses whatever direction Canada is in again*

Yeah, not going to lie. Canada can be awesome for toy prices sometimes. This sale at Walmart, for example, helps us collectors big time.
Heh heh

Well, My Laval TrU is indeed fully stocked... With TLK deluxes, wave 1 Studio Series deluxes, and SS Screamers and Thundercracker. Also, wave 1 of PotP deluxe without any jazz but with LOTS of that white jet dude.

Oh joy. So much oppulance!
