The Energon Pub

Aw man, that's some sweet haul... I'm still searching for a universe hound for under £20. I am so annoyed we never got the 25th anniversary deluxes. I paid £25 for cyclonus and £11 for cheetor and they're the only ones I've got. I wouldn't normally spend so much on a deluxe like I did with cyclonus but I wanted him so bad...

Just to make you feel that much worse, I got a Henkei Hound for free.

Well not exactly free I returned My deformed Defender to the Kapow booth at this Years Auto Assembly and got a Large haul in return

I understand that, but dirge is a mainstream figure, and mrs o sure did shell out more than she should have.

She put in such a big order that we actually averaged about £12.50 per figure. The list goes like this;
WST Blaster
WST Shockwave
Universe Hound (just wanted Ravage really)
Dirge
Thrust (at last!)
Universe Cyclonus
WFC Soundwave
Classics or Universe Starscream (She won't let me have it yet so I don't know)
Movie Hubcap for £3!

earl hickey, you sir are one lucky son of a gun

pretty jealous on this side of the interwebz, congrats man, if you get bored man, feel free to send some my way =D

Well, after the minicon incident I think I owe you one so you're probably going to be the next person I PM; stand by...

Bad time to mention that up until 3 months ago the entertainer in romford still had 1 universe cyclonus and some Ironhides? They still have the ironhides.

As for my broken hard head it snapped on the plastic joining the front and back of the head together down the middle.

Who said we arent getting passed wave 2 of universe(or what ever its called now?) aret they the same people who said we werent getting passed wave 1? and look what happened there

Did you guys no that Kapow Toys have a sale on I got HFTD Banzitron for £16 check out Kapow for yourselfs

they tend to do that as soon as a toy gets a domestic release.

They make a loss on the tiy but its better to ahve it gone than sitting on a shelf.

And they were £10.00 in the siansburys half price to sale

My sainsburys hasnt got a sale... The only new stuff they've got is that ravage set, unless it's changed much in two weeks...

I got pcc searchlight today for £6.99 in Argos

That is a good deal, in Forbidden Planet theyre 12.99 each(!)

Ill be popping back to that Sainsburys this Friday( assuming my eye surgery allows me to drive by then) if any one wants me to see if theres any TF's left, they were all half price( PCC wave 2 were £5.00, HFTD basics £3.50 and TF Voyagrs £10.00). It was crazy never seen so many mothers and grandmothers fighting to get to the toys faster than the poor little Asian shop assiastant could put them out. The Doctor Who section was particularly brutal :-S

Im more than happy to help peeps out if I can.

I had a friend who had that fuzor (Injector) it scared the crap outta me when I was 8.
Banzaitron is a perfect repaint but I love my £30 From hong kong bludgeon so I'll pass on banzaitron.
Though I'm thinking about the battle blade optimus in that wave, not sure...

forbidden planet is always full of sky high prices...
I wouldn't say no to a hubcap or brimstone for £3.50.
Hope your surgery goes ok, wish I could get new eyes, my glasses are like bottle end thick.

Have you guys seen the new Protector pics they are awesome

I've just got rid of some silver coins by buying legends sandstorm; he is nice.
Just as good as beachcomber.
I thank you (numerous peeps) for recommending him.

Checked today but was like a desolate waste land sparesly filled with ROTF legends figures.

did manage to find 1 Axor but apart from that slim pickings im afraid

axor already? Does that mean you've seen a tomahawk or terradive? I only just found battle blades optimus and banzaitron the other day in my sainsburys.

why you're welcome, good sir.
he is one utterly cool chap, is he not?
i must say i am a sucker for ledgends, they are cheap, small, detailed for their size, easy(or EZ if you will) and fun.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in awhile, i've been stuck in a rut and all that stuff but i'm fine now, anyway how is everyone?

Oh a question for you all, i'm planning on selling most of my movie 1 transformers collection, would any of you be intrested in buying any of them? I'm selling a few to my aunt first for my cousin but i'll sell what I have left to you guys if your intrested, i'll post details at some point

yes indeed. I remember when the cybertron legends came out and I thought "these are so good cos they're like collectable little versions of the main characters" I got nearly all of them and didn't hardly get any full size cybertron figures.

Rachet and Axor are a like a .5 wave, atleast in the UK. Terradrive, Tomahawk, eltrostatic jolt and who ever the 4th figure is should in theory be released very soon.

How did you find battle blades prime? My friend bought it when we saw it as I wasnt too worried and it is really complex, like a smaller version of the leader especially the way the legs work.

Right time to start saving for the Iron Man 2 replica motor cycle jacket seeing as im not gonna be going to Botcon next year( the eye surgery went great btw, back to better than 20/20 vision, but I cannot describe the pain after the surgery weirdest feelings ive ever experienced).

Also picked up a Hydrodrive Bumblebee the other weekend, interesting but not worth the £35+ youll pay for him. 15-20 would have beeen ok(tbh Id have felt ripped off paying 20 but hey ho). Picked up the Seacon reissue at the same time, lovely odd pink hues, first time Ive had all the connecting pices, I own 2 snap traps and all the individual seacons but never managed to find the connecting pieces for them(fists hands and head) and on ebay thpose alone cost more than the reissue did. Atleast itll now look like head masters with turtler and his drones with king posidon backing them up

Only complaint is that Snaptrap now has a pink robot head(WTF!?!) where the originals had the pink turtle head yet a black robot head. Guess it would have cost too much to put the extra paint apps on.

I found battle blades prime when I went to my sainsburys and dug thru the voyagers, when I saw banzaitron I knew there was some new stuff so I kept digging and found optimus. It looks just like a smaller leader version except with guns and not as good blades. I'm thinking about getting him but I'm also tempted by a half price rotf leader prime at my local tescos. I don't know which would be better as I'm running out of space and already own the 2007 leader prime and the voyager first strike prime...
While I'm on the subject of space, how do all you seibertronians store your tfs? I've got a big box, a couple of shelves and a comparentalized box for my legends. Oh and a couple of little boxes for mini-cons.

I tend to try to clump things together:
Gen 1 pre movie
Gen 1 pre movie cons
post movie bots
post movie cons
beast wars maximals plus robot masters+bw2
9 foot long shelf with beast wars preds+beastmachines+bw2+neo
Cybertron/galaxy force+classics,
neo maximals +actionmasters,
micromasters,
Armada
Bayverse movie 1
Gen 2+ PVC statues
Beast machines maximals+animorphs

The rest are in piles in boxes or cupboards(alternators/binaltech, masterpieces, animated, energon, alternity, planet transformers, grand maximus, skylynx, omega supreme, bayverse movie 2, music label, sports label, device label, kiss players, botcon exclusives)

I ran out of room years ago but I'm addicted and can't stop with the plastic crack, although I don't buy activators, picky with the legends, human alliance, gravity bots, rpms, my first transformer, go bots.

Trying to clear out comics and other stuff to get some display cabinets and proper units
