The Energon Pub

Just found this awesome rarity on the wonderful Electronic bay which I had to share with everyone!

Must have been a Friday afternoon job...

Wow. That is EPIC fail.

It sold!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the market...

Another Ebay UK seller from the same Shire selling dodgy knock offs.
I actually emailed the seller to say they where brave selling KOs when Ebay frowns upon such things, with the reply "these are not knock offs but original MechTech Transformers".
I decided not to press the point, but clearly these are dodgy. At least this one appears to have a movie Megatron inside but someone needs to tell Optimus hes switch factions!

The seller also had another item, exactly same packaging but had a Optimus mask inside it! WTF!

I wonder if our friends oop north are being flooded with Chinese KOs on the strength of 2 seperate seller flogging the same stuff?

Mortgage payments late?

Just crashed the car?

The heavies came round for 'the payment'?

Ebay throws up the odd surprise but this is just laughable!

And he even knows what the item is ...

I finally see what you guys see in this 3rd party stuff

Ok, so I have updated the title so I can pop any old Ebay listing finds here!

I thought this might interest some of you G1 collectors and fans alike?

Looks like someone is having a clear out of a huge collection! U.K. based btw!

Honestly, I dont know what this seller is thinking with this listing!

If youve got money to burn and feel the need to own a genuine Transformers Prime AM-19 Gaia Unicron Arms Micron MISB from Japan then this is for you!

For this price one could hire a company to knock off a box load and still have change for a bag of chips on the way home!

WOW!

I have never seen or heard about this before but what a find!!!

iGear could have done some good business with this little beauty!
It will be interesting to see what he goes for?

iGear had this and a greenish variant for sale on their site about a year ago. I didn't purchase either because I thought there would be a wide release of them some point down the line. Not sure what the count was for each, but couldn't have been too high.

Yeah, that's a great looking translucent purple!

Spotted these two Movie Deluxe variants on Ebay this morning. Cant say that I have seen these fellas before, must have missed them amongst the glut of Sideswipe repaints?

Transformers RotF Honk Kong Exclusives - Sideswipe & Barricade!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Transformers-ROTF-HONGKONG-EXCLUSIVE-SIDESWIPE-BARRICADE-HFTD-MISB-/150988324635?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item23279aff1b

I've seen that Barracade in Zellars years back. It's not a KO, unless the KO people have decided to knock it off. I don't remember that Sideswipe, but RotF has a lot of poopy repaints that are barely worth remembering.

Ebay seller lena81822 keeps coming up with the goods, and a couple of his/her recent listings offer some interesting 'head swapped' Transformers!

( Sorry, I dont know how to shorten URLs)

This listing offers the recent Asia GDO Exclusive White United Ultra Magnus but with a shiny gold head with red light piping!

Next up is Masterpiece Lambor/Sideswipe in all his glory but with the red head of Red Alert!

They look soooo weird with those heads

Not sure I'd want em looking like that

After my Masterpiece Sideswipe buying experience from a like minded East based seller, I would guess these, like a lot of figures, are 'gained' from the factories or friends in parts, collated and sold via Ebay, so when the Lambor heads run out, an Alert head will have to do!

It is also amusing that the Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive figure MP12-T Tigertrack has sold out, whilst Ebay has them 'loose' and plentiful!

Spotted this whilst browsing Ebay this morning...

Its an old KO using the G1 Optimus Prime as a base mold (kinda?) but reimagined as a Fire Engine!

He comes mint on sealed card, sword, blaster and removeable ladder!







"Autobots, transform and fight fire!"

Pfft, an Optimus that turns into a fire truck?!? Who ever heard of such an absurd thing!?

This one looks kind of neat. I bet my son would like playing with a toy like this.

As an aside, here's how you shorten URLs. When you do the brackets and url and finish with brackets and /url, you can do an equals sign in the first one to assign the hyperlink to anything between the opening url and closing. Like this (only add brackets):

(open bracket)url=http://www.ebay.com(close bracket)This is the shortened link (open bracket)/url(close bracket)

This is the shortened link

Quote my message if you want to see the specific code. I hope this helps! I know it will help us read your info.

Back from the dead!

Just spotted this newish listing on Ebay and thought Id share.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/iGear-Faith-Leader-Rare-Unpainted-Grey-Limited-Edition-Transformer-1-of-5-/161673244411?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a479eefb

iGear produced an Ultra sized 'version' of the very first Masterpiece Optimus Prime as we know but this auction offers a interesting variation of that.

Take a look!
