The Energon Pub

Okay guys, I'm new here, but i need the following minicons/microns for my collection! I need the EXACT minicons on that list, not just the molds, EXACT COLORS AND ALL. In fact, most of these are takara only. Thank you.

If you have any of the minicons on my lists, please PM me so we can work out some sort of deal. If you would like to trade, please see my FT thread here.

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/items-sale-trade/302708-tanus-fs-ft-unicron-animated-arcee-superion.html

How about I take a group picture of them, and you can highlight the ones you want, how's the sound?

BUMP for update!

Alot of the Microns you're looking for are extremely rare and will cost you quite a bit more than you want to pay.

Most of the Japanese figures average around $15-$20 US each, but a number of them (the DVD Microns, the Caliber Team, the Hellflame Team, the Megalo Team, the Guardian Team, and the Mighty Team) will run $25-$35 per figure.

It isn't scalping; it's just supply and demand. Each of those figures exist in quantites of 1000 or less per figure. Anytime you have a figure that rare, price goes up quickly.

Forget about the Space Galaxy Team, also. It runs $100-$125 per member.

Other teams which are not cheap or easy to find include the Blizzard Saber, Frenzy, Windcharger, the Fire Saber, the Overdrive Team, the Undergroove Team, and the Platinum Team.

In the US, the rarest Minicons are the Wal-Mart exclusive Tiny Tin Race Team, and Wave 4 of the Cybertron Versus packs. The Race team cost me $20/member, and the Wave 4 versus packs ran me $75, and that was a good price. Additionally Astro-Hook, Astro-Line, and Astro-Sinker, as well as any BotCon Minicons, are almost impossible to find without purchasing the larger figure they accompanied.

Expect to spend $3000-$4000 if you want every Minicon and Micron.

I'm somewhere near the 80% mark.

I've still got to get:

Micron Booster 0
Micron Booster 2 (Saber, Processor, Triac)
Micron Booster 3 (Bug General, Bug Drone, Clamp, Gauge, Cannon)
Undergroove Team
Overdrive Team
The DVD Microns (all fifteen)
Regular Red Sea Team (Red and Yellow)
Megalo Gritbit
Megalo Zigzag
Hellflame Graviton
Space Galaxy Team
Superlink Windcharger
White Hellflame Team
X-Dimension Street Action Team (part of Magna Convoy DX)
Sweep (partner to Micron Densetsu Scourge)
Betamaxx (partner to BotCon Alpha Trion)
Shattered Glass Predacons
Dragoyell

I'm hesitant to even include Dragoyell as he may or may not actually be a Lucky Draw class figure. The last time he appeared on eBay, he went for $1000.

I'm not telling you this to get you discouraged, but I am warning you so you can adjust your expectations.

25+ Mini Cons. All Mint. 35.00 Shipped. Add 8.00 for the Energon Saber Mini Con Combiner team. See my pics. Have feedback on TFW. Also a Sale/trade thread there. OR I can send you pics if you e-mail me. lethalsanda@live.com

Fact is, I know all of this. on the other hand, they're still JUST toys. I have a life and real problems that come first. This is only a hobby.

If you work hard enough, you can get very lucky. I got the Super Stunt Team in a trade, all three botcon predicons pending, and nearly every micron booster minicon up to set #4 (have some of them already though) all for cheap. Also received plenty of other Takara only minicons for impossible prices.

Patience, haggling skill, and knowledge all play a huge factor in achieving this goal.

200+ minicons in just on year with minimum spending isn't half-bad at all.

Fact is, there are only a handful of us Micron collectors out there and even fewer who are willing to put competition aside and be helpful to one another.

Your original post comes off as dick-ish. If you want to find some of these, especially at reasonable prices, you need to avoid putting off the very people who could potentially help you.

Why should I bother referring you to the right people or passing along the knowledge that you're in need of Japanese Microns when you come off in such a manner to begin with?

Just sayin'.

These things have pricey price tags attached as Razorclaw said. If I had an extra Guardian team to sell or an extra Mighty team to sell...I'd be doing someone a favor by offering it to them. Balk at the price once and I will have little to no trouble finding someone else who will thank me for it.

Sorry to be harsh in your thread. Good luck with your hunt.

I don't mean to come off as dickish, it's just I'd had people waist my time trying to sell me even common US minicons at inflated prices. Please believe me when I say I've done much price comparing/research when it comes to the minicons on my list, and $30+ for a star saber team is unacceptable. There are too many users who would have no problem letting such go for $15 or lower. Too many people just use ebay for a reference in price, when most ebay prices are inflated to begin with. The average minicon these days goes anywhere from $1.50 to $3 for one. Not $15 to $30.

I'm just very sick of scalper prices,and filling my inbox with 20 messages, just to amount to nothing in the end. I also don't make much money to begin with. My warning is just a time saver for me, and those who are never willing to sell mincons so cheaply. I still very appreciate any business people give me, and cherish help people give me for my goal. You can ask any who has sold to me.

If you can find someone who will pay top dollar, more power to you, and the buyer deserves the sale. I use my warning as a scalper repellent. But so far, I think I'm doing very well. I've shaved off around 100 minicons off my original list with my methods, and collected almost half of what exist in such a very short time.

Also, I do appreciate your business so far. You're helping me take one step closer to my goal.

I just run with what works and am willing to keep the patience it takes to eventually get what I need. Eventually, most people stop trying to compete and just want to make the $ they need. That is where I come in.

Ah, well, when I talk about prices I am really only referring to Japanese Microns.

The US stuff with the exception of exactly one wave of figures, should be really cheap.

I have the following for sale:

Credit Card Exclusive Mircon Sling: $15
Micron Booster #4 Chase Detectus: $25

The first one you had to participate in a credit card offer in Japan to get and the second one is a clear chase figure packaged at a rate of 1 per 2.5 boxes. If you want them both, I'll sell them both for $35 inclusive of shipping to anywhere in the US.

Thanks for the offer, but I will have to pass for now. Besides, I already have detectus. However, you price on him is impressive.
