Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

Anyone know where I can find the Energon Racers set, the Bumblebee race set with Grimlock, and the Jenga sets at? Wow ... I came in late to the game on Angry Birds. I didn't realize that they were exclusive to Toys R Us (even though it says it right there in the Hasbro press release we received directly from Hasbro). I just figured they'd be available everywhere like the Star Wars Angry Birds were. Oops ... especially since I broke the news on the 5 pack being at Toys R Us in Times Square but passed on them because I thought $25 was an absurd price for a 5 pack of variants. These sets are all going for crazy money on the aftermarket already. It looks like they showed up in bulk overseas in some parts of Europe.

Did the Bumblebee/Grimlock race set ever show up at retail? I never saw it at a store ... but I wasn't really looking for it either. I saw all of the Angry Birds Transformers on sale for BOGO 40% off a week or so in early December and that was the last time I looked. I figured they'd be blowing them out at a greater discount later if they weren't selling. Boy was I wrong!

Does anyone know the retail price of the Jenga sets? They're available on Amazon but I don't know how much the markup is on those sets there.

Good evening fellow Seibertronians, I hope you're ready for some obscure new toy sightings. The Angry Birds Transformers Jenga single packs have been found at US retail, at an Ollie's Bargain Outlet in Raleigh, NC. Each set was marked at $4.99, and the assortment consists of Angry Birds versions of Galvatron, Lockdown, Soundwave, and Heatwave. Each set also includes some Jenga blocks to build up, run your bird into, or even destroy in a rampage.



Some of you may be wondering, "So what?" Well, while we previously reported how these had been sighted in Canada several months ago, no US sighting was ever reported, and the awfully high aftermarket prices had many assuming these were completely canceled for the US market. Alas, at least for those of us with an Ollie's nearby, "Market Six" has come through like an old reliable watchdog once again, saving us from the putrid husk of overpriced Amazon listings.

Remember, if you see a sighting out there that you think is way cool, there are several things you should do!

• If your sighting is news, or in other words, you think no one on Seibertron.com has posted a news story about anyone in your region (US, Canada, UK, Europe, Asia, wherever!) finding this toy or mechandise at retail, let us know at sightings@seibertron.com or news@seibertron.com. Be sure to let us know your username on the site, where you found it, how much it was, and include a picture if at all possible. Emailing the news staff is the only way to get magical "News Credit" points for your sightings!
• News or not, let your other local collectors know by posting about it in your State or Region's Sightings and Meet-Ups thread.
• Be sure to also click it through in our awesome Sightings Database, and be sure to let us know if it isn't listed there. I'm about to do that with these right now

Keep on impulsively refreshing our homepage (because who needs to go outdoors when all the cool toys are indoors) for the latest and sometimes weirdest Transformers news here on Seibertron.com.

Me too. They sell out all the time at my TRU. Prety much anyone who plays the games would be up for buying these, if you are asking about a viable market.

Previously, in Angry Birds Transformers news... we reported on the sighting of single pack Jenga items. Site owner Seibertron has also pointed us towards Walmart.com, which seems to have re-stocked on a number of these, and has now listed as available the Galvatron and Heatwave packs specifically. Follow the links below to purchase yours, if so inclined!

Hoo boy, has it been a while, well fellow Seibertronians, time to dust off this thread with a necro-post of the gallery kind. Remember the transforming Angry Bird figures that showed up in stores and sold out in weeks? Well, with the Angry Birds movie coming out in theaters tomorrow, now seems like the opportune time to soak in the cheesy, crazy goodness that is the Wave 1 Angry Birds Transformers Telepods. Wave 1 includes Autobirds Optimus Prime Bird, Bumblebee Bird, and Heatwave The Fire-Bot Bird as well as Deceptihogs Galvatron Pig, Soundwave Pig, and Lockdown Pig, so check them out and let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

If you're interested in checking out the Angry Birds Transformers mobile app, you can still find it available on Google Play and on Apple's App Store.
