The Energon Pub

Hi tooke a wile to get the internet running, but if you're looking for the soundwave reissiue and kan't find one neare you, go to bedford (if you live anywere close) as I went there they had atleast 25 in stock(well obius that as I left there were just 24 left). He' s quite nice, but kinda feels like a ko if you kompare him with other toys.
They also had the blackout Scorpy pack but that kosts like 29.99!
loaeds of Classics Jetfires and Screamers!
OH and a whole army of Movie Megatrons!

Nice one..don't suppose the seller had more around that price?

Been into Wilko's btw...they had bugger all in. Asked whether they had an Astrotrain in the back..nope!
But the very helpful lady mentioned she'd be happy to order another box full of the Classics in and save me the Astrotrain out of it AND phone me when they had it!

Wilko's just earned 2 cool points in my estimation!

Dave

Wow!

I am so gonna ask em when they are gonna order more, and see if I can't get the same treatment as you!

This is excellent.

well im gonna try wilkos again on saturday, im not that bothered if they dont have any, there is a nice BB/Astrotrain 2 pack on ebay for £20 delivered, so its not like its impossible to get classics atm, but it would be nice to get them a bit cheaper...the lady i spoke to on sunday checked in back and aslo offered an ordering service, but as its listed as an assortment i didnt bother, i didnt think to ask them to save specific ones...might be worth a try on saturday if they dont have any instore

edit: alas my lovely animated sig has felt the lash from the mods, im not sure why size is an issue with sigs when the images are hosted off site, avatars i get, they are hosted here, but sigs arent....grrr...i hate being censored....fight the power people!!!!

Here's where I got mine - it wouldn't surprise me if he turns up another as I got a 2nd chance bid on the Jetfire KO but I changed my mind (classics jetfire is far cooler)

Several turn up here but P&P is quite high. They also have two 2-pack smaller KO's inc Mirage with the Machine Wars Megatron mold.

Yarr, that be upsetting news indeed. Perhaps it's to do with the load time of the pic.

The TRU Soundwave feels like a knock off ye say? Arrr, that be worrying news indeed. I hope the Encore doesn't.

Dont get stressed about Soundwave, just wait until Red buys one. The very next day they'll be all over the place and half price to boot (unless that only works with Sumpreme size toys).



Gaaar,
Doug

Arrgh.

Damnit, it be true.

here by popular demand.

Welcome aboard Sonray.
Warning: Here be Pyrates!
As in most here seem to be speaking Pyrate but I just can't keep up with all that.
I gather you too have been searching out TFs at Wilkos...

Yes i was flabberghasted (sp?) to find two tit mags there and a buncha classics figures ive been looking EVERYWHERE for. Man i need more shelves now...

I've been ignoring the Piratical goodness (Yar?) but as far as TFs are concerned these days, I wait for Classics, hunt for choice G1 and wait for Masterpieces. The only exception is Music Label (Spark Blue) Soundwave. I am awaiting his arrival with baited breath!

Gar?

Whered you buy him from and for how much? I want an mp3 soundwave.

I put my order in with Toyz & Gamez

Yar? Bollocks! I need an Undead Monkey fer this shite.

I got mine from Xybertoys.com. I got Rumble n Frenzy too.

He is well worth the money, but you need to buy the memory card and some kinda device (ie a USB SD or mini SD card reader (most mini SD cards come with SD card adaptors)).

Rumble n Frenzy look ok in robot mode, and rediculus in alt mode quite frankly. Also dont sound the best and aint the most comfortable.

Oh, btw the lady in Wilkos said that a store called B&M also should be selling some TF. I have one local but couldn't find anything..see if you guys are more lucky!

Dave

Expect a stock report from B&M & Wilkos in Middlesborough, Wilkos in Stockton and TRU Teeside Park tomorrow. If I'm heading up to Scummersville I'm going to make sure that I cover as much ground as possible

I've never heard of B&M. B&Q I have, but not B&M. Is this similar to Wilkinsons?

And I think the pyrate speak has faded out (over 20 pages of it though. Damn good run). At least until Frimal returns next week. Arrr!

Lol..leaving nothing to chance eh? I'm off to Leeds this weekend, gonna check out all possibilities there too!

B&M is like Wilko's except not as big and cheaper!

Hmm...i dont like the idea of having to spend extra on something thats already a small fortune in order to use it properly. I think i'll skip on that one, or buy another tit soundwave and buy a small mp3 player for that and stick it inside. Id have to fix his legs too with a classics seeker. Hmm both seem too expensive, i wont bother at all then. Id rather save the money for an MP Screamer.

Sweet Googley Moogley!

Researching alt modes for the Constructicons for my next fanfic, I came across something from 2004 called 'Killdozer'. Apparantly, the guy had been screwed out of his business by the local council and a rival firm that put up a concrete factory on his old premises. Getting nothing but ignorance and ignored from official channels, he spent a few months planning this. At least the guy didn't harm civillians and only went after specific targets. Guess you should be careful who you piss off.

Anyone remember hearing about this on the news?

Seriously Leeds town centre & Headingley was a washout Monday 13th, the only Wilko's I haven't tried is the one in Morley but Leeds TRU should be OK.

Don't know any B & M's in the area but I guess I'll have to try.

Hahaha, good on him i say! I remember this though, but ive never watched it to N.R.G before hehe.

Just been to to Wilkos in Romford and got this:



They had the others reported, Cliffjumper, Mirage, Ramjet, Tit Mags and Megs and some more movie deluxes

Excellent find Chugster. If I was after any more classics, I would be even more enthusiatic.

GO FORTH FELLOW CREWMEN OF THE ODB. SAIL TO THE LAND KNOWN AS WILKINSONS AND BAG THE BOOTY!!


Quick q: As someone said it may be leftover bulk stock from some american shop, is it American packaging or the European version?
