The Energon Pub

I got these
From My younger brother Metroid Other M
My Older Brother Pokemon White
From my Dad A Shirt
From My Grandad Halo Reach
From my Mum Prince of Persha on DVD
From Munkimus HFTD Terradive/Tomahawk

I also went to Tesco and They had Powercore Combiners Sledge Icepick and Leadfoot in this was my local Tesco others may not have them

Ooo nice. Still haven't got me any pcc's. Last night I found hftd legends wave 2, got long haul in tescos in Westwood.

Hmm... have't been near any tesco etc recently but the entertainer a specialist toy store of all places had no pcc, no generations, and only wave 1 hftd deluxes.
no spaces for "out of stocks" either.

dude WOW you got pokemon white? sweet haul

what do you guys think of the transformers united stuff? personally I was expecting more from the likes of drift and straxus

but i have to say i like the look of glossy wfc prime and megs, even though i wasn't gonna pick these boys up

mixed feelings about bumblebee, although i like the look of him, i already have the legends version which fits in with the rest e.g. CJ, warpath, wheelie etc

what does everyone else think of these bad boys? surely people are in the same dilemma as moi

On Monday night I found my local Toys R Us' lack of MP Grimlock disturbing. Very little at all that I was tempted by. Tesco across the road had some PCCs, the Aerialbots and Combaticons looking 5 packs, and Icepick and Mo-Lar (I don't know what his real name is...the drill thing...Drill-Bit?) 2 packs. HFTD Seaspray was in one or other or both places as well.

Electron: I'm liking what I'm seeing from United. Drift isn't any different. I'll probably get him if I see him in the shops, Straxus doesn't interest me in any variation, ATM. The WFC guys all look great, and I might hold off for these versions, Megatron and Soundwave in particular are great. I'd love a TFA inspired green and yellow repaint of the BB mold as Wasp so I could have one of my own Multiplayer characters in toy form.

Oh, and I just ordered the Rodimus, Cyclonus and Galvatron set from Kapow, in anticipation of the Protector Armour (I'm still on the fence about that, but slipping. Only hanging on by my wallet )

I no it is in japanease but I no the basics of pokemon and the best thing is all the pokemon in the wild are new no Zubat or Geodude all from the Ishuu regiom me and the Fire Pig are a good team I never expected my bro to buy me it.

As for the stuff the UK is getting I am pleased with it

I really like the new generations photos, however with a spring release in the states we wouldn't see them until summer....never mind, the film will put an end to that. ARGHH

see the thing with drift is i was hoping the swords, would be darker and for him to have chrome spoilers, i feel the picture shown was just a place holder, but we'll see hey

as for straxus, i would like him to bulk up the cons, would like him to have a chrome edge pick-axe and to be a darker blue

as for the WFC i love the glossy paint, megs and prime look esp nice, i didn't want to get them in the first place but i can't resist

if you do get the protector armour, kapow aren't getting any fp sidearms apparently and your best off going to toyz and gamez for that part of the pre-order

looks like a great game, would love to get it and eventually the 3DS

but there's always going to be the successor to the annoying zubat or geodude

haa your right we'll probably never see these guys over here because of the movie, so i reckons i'll probably be importing

In the last 2 weeks I have picked up:
Leader Starscream, Battle hooks leader Prime is also out now.
PCC wave 2 2 packs(leadfoot etc)
Hunt for the decepticons wave 2:Hailstorm, Elita 1 and sidearms sideswipe couldnt be bothered with tuner Skids.
HFTD voyager Seaspray left Payload on the shelf as I have Longhaul, same with Night Ops Ratchet.

The Stealthforce minis and larger vehicles are out as are some new gravity bots and those kidified versions of deluxe transformers cant remember the official names for those though.

Been reading this for a while, thought i may as well join in.

the north gets a seriously bum deal for figures, my local tesco has had ROTF Mixmaster on the shelf for past 8 months. ive seen one case of HFTD figures put out but seems like Jetblade and Sea Attack Ravage are the only ones you can find most places. Forbidden Planet havent changed stock since last summer.

I decided to bite the bullet and just order from online shops (Ebay, Kapow Toys and TFsource mostly). My mum freaks out every time i get a delivery. Think im gonna get deliveries to my mates when i get Protector and City commander lol.

Had a decent haul this month, Explorer/Munitioner (awesome, glad i bought two sets), Battle Blade Bumblebee (replaced my old bumblebee's), Sidearm Sideswipe (much better than ROTF or HA), Drift (my new favourite figure) and the Challenge at Cybertron pack (not happy with)

I should probably warn people, the CAC pack has some serious problems (other than Galvatron being a piece of cack). The Cyclonus figure is very loose, ive managed to tighten some joints but im still paranoid. Rodimus is bad, like REALLY bad, the windshield portion which rotates in transformation is so loose i nearly broke the screw tightening it up, its still loose, but necessary evil for when i get Protector. also the back part with the wings had stuck to the windshield so when i transformed him first time the sodding windshield chipped.

Cant wait for next years releases, Scourge, Wreck gar and Thunderwing make me happy i get a student loan lol.

Why does your mum freak out?

shes not a fan of me spending all my money on figures. and even less of a fan of taking me to the royal mail depot to pick them up when we miss the delivery. luckily i have an agreement with my mate, i get deliveries to his flat and he gets to be there when i open them. TF fans need to stick together haha

Nice.
I work in a 24 hour petrol station so I just get all my stuff delivered there

not really worried about the targetmaster, but thanks for the heads up if I change my mind.

That challenge at Cybertron set is such a pain. I really wanna get hold of the Cyclonus figure for my bro for his birthday (he soughta pines for it ), but I don't particularly want to drop £40 when there's two figures I don't need.



If anyone needs/wants the Galvatron and/or the Rodimus let me know. Or indeed, if you have a Cyclonus on the go.




Welcome all new folks, hope you stay with us for the long term. Disgruntled Brits numbers have been far too low lately. And a big happy birthday to Rodimus, nice haul mate



Anyone seen the TFCC mag scans? Some nice stuff in thar indeed, though G2 laser Prime isn't as great as he could be (guess it is hard to beat the original, awesome figure). Though Perceptor is far better than he looked at Botcon, as is Scourge and Tracks. Wreck Gar is perfect, and hopefully the Legends Trailbreaker will pave the way for a deluxe version!

My mum also freaks out when I bring back a haul from
somewhere like tescos. No matter how small, I even hid legends long haul
from her so as to not get moaned or glared at.
Wish I could get stuff through the post that must be so cool to have a tf on your doorstep and not a bank statement

when i get any stuff and my parents ask, i just say i pre-ordered it and paid for it ages ago, and i usually add it was on sale, i don't usually get any questions

we need a deluxe trailbreaker i won't be getting the legends

but i really need to see G2 laser prime and perceptor, does perceptor come with any weapons?

i'm excited for tracks and jazz, hope the henkei version of tracks has the cartoon correct hood phoenix flame thing

nah tf post is still an arse to get, esp if you miss the post and have to collect it, if its international and you get hit by customs

and it probably ends up on the bank statement if your paying by card

but overall its so easy to buy to much and to quick, so many awesome tfs out there, my wallet hates the interwebz

also its great to see more people posting here, not like its going to be a sightings tread any longer considering how hasbro UK seem to be going, we might as well be living on some north pole out post, but sooner or later TF 3 legends megs is gonna close down tru, argos , toymaster and smyths

Who's with me for a petition for hasbro uk to stop being such utter dickheads.
I'm deadly serious.


On a lighter note, what is the shop tru???
The only one i could think of is the entertainer...

tru is toys r us, who currently have sightings of mp grimlock and first wave generations

I'm up for a petition, hasbro uk need to know what we think. Icannot bear the thought of not getting the deluxe jazz or scourge or cybertronian megatron. Or anything! We should get it all with us packaging all in English

btw kapow now have sidearm up for pre-order, after saying they weren't going to, he's £9 i believe

hmm. might well pre-order it now that i don't have to sign up somewhere else. lazy? me? never!

I got Drift and Universe Ironhide today. Ironhide was half-price, and the shop (A1 comics in Glasgow) has Galvatron, Sideswipe and Bluestreak half-price too, as well as all of Generations wave 1. (United pics meant I'm waiting on WFC Prime) The guy at the counter asked me if I've seen MP Grimlock yet, as he's looking for one as well. Get a move on Hasbro delivery mens!

Anyway, Ironhide's head issue, I'd forgotten about, might see about modding it, but at the moment just keeping his wheels down at his side. Other than that, he's a pretty good toy. I like that he has a gun or a knife-y thing. The sliding over the wrist thing's kinda cool, but he can pretty much fit his hands inside the weapon anyway, so that's how I've got him.

Drift however, regardless of anyone's thoughts on the character itself, is a flippin' amazing toy! It looks cool, it has nice weapon gimmicks and it might be one of the most posable TFs I have ever had! He's currently standing on my stereo in the Ninja Run pose from City of Heroes, with his sword at his back. Bad-Ass!
