The Energon Pub

They restocked everything from top to bottom. They have transformer movie figures covering the whole sections of both stores. The new bumblebee 08, Protoform starscream which was hard to find. They had a whole shelf load of pink arcee which is very hard to find. It was like a gold mine in there. The best part is that there was no collectors in site as i was buying. This was a great day for my collecting. Anyone have any luck today, Because i know wal-marts all over were restocking.

No luck for me. I did find Starscream, but otherwise everything wass still picked over.

I won't be able to go until this evening...

I've been at work all day, but I did go into a local Wal-Mart this morning before work and it was pathetically empty. I also went to a nearby Toys R' Us during my lunch hour---barren shelves except for like 10 Unleashed Bumblebees and every protoform you'd ever want (which for me is none)

I'm hoping that the situation will change by tonight or tomorrow. I was in the mood to buy some movie figures I need for my collection..but locally I'm getting discouraged.

Got mine yesterday at Target. They had 2 BB 08 and 1 Arcee & Dreadwing. I brought of the BB and the last Arcee. I was surprised they had them am glad i checked them out.

Found nothing, nada, zip, zilch. In fact, one of the local Wal-Marts said they've got only what's on the pegs, none in back, and absolutely none on order.

And all they have on the pegs is Brawl x2, and Bonecrusher x3.

The more I read about you guys finding the 08 Bumblebee, the more I feel that I'll luck out and get mine soon.


Hey scourge15, do you think the Acree is a good pickup to get? I'm undecided.

Keep it up. You'll find yours soon.

I found mine.

Unsolicited opinion...

Arcee is a good buy. Easily wiped out of the shelves. So don't spend too much time thinking. Go get it.

I unexpectedly decided to take my son to Target this morning at 8.30 after dropping off my wife and was shocked to see the whole target empty of people and 08 bumble bee on the pegs all to myself!!! I quickly nabbed the 08 Bumble Bee and Arcee(deluxe version). They also had dreadwing but I cannot stand the scope head so I left him). They had the smaller $7.99 skywarp.

I am glad the new arcee has better arm articulation...but I still think they should've added a ball joint to the wrists instead of a hinge...this calls for a mod soon

Bumble bee is cool but I think I might mod the face..something is not right about it. But overall they are both great figures.

DAmnit! Cant stop by the store till after work!!! THE AGONY!

Go lunch time!!!! Cause I called another target and they also had a truck this morning...so they either restock late at night or early in the morning.

Dam I must find out some way to acquire a vehicle that will take me to a walmart.

Where are you guys/gals finding them at?? Im in NY/NJ and cant find any of them. The only thing I found was the Unleashed OP, that's it...went to Wal-mart this morning and nothing...and they were restocking the shelves. Went to Targets after work and only RG warming the pegs...nothing new... and Unleashed BB is down to $17.99 not $13.99 like I see some of you get.

My Target has 3 unleashed BBs left at $13.98 clearance.

boohoo... i couldn't go to target today. : ( I didn't remember the way to drive to there, needs my GPS.

(has less than a year of experience in driving) D:

Oh man, what a disappointing day. First I stopped by the closest WalMart on the way home from work. I got all excited when I saw movie Arcee at the top of one of the pegs and TONS of new deluxes. Not one Bumblebee.

Then I go to TRU and what's this? An employee restocking shelves? And over a dozen full boxes right next to him on the floor? Oh joyous day! Right? RIGHT? Imagine, if you will, my disappointment when the employee informed me that the boxes were full of Voyager figures only.

Target was its usual desolate self. They have no deluxes at all left; not even Scorponok, the red-headed step child of the movie line.

haha, im starting to get the impression that Target's version of Restocking is putting up 1 toy on the shelves for the next week. : ( That can be the only explanation for the emptiness everytime I get there!

i agree with you

My walmart had nothing but the same two Bonecrushers I saw last week and those fly papers hanging on the deluxe figure's pegs!

I was just at two Walmarts in Oakland, they were hit pretty hard. I managed to find a Deluxe Barricade hidden behind all the deluxe Ratchets and Ratchets and Bonecrushers =]

I think BB's head is ok. Mould-wise. Just missing a few spots of silver color. Maybe just repaint, or rather add-paint, will do wonders.

BB 08 highly recommended! I like it even better than the movie BB himself.

Deluxe Arcee also highly recommended. Although i don't like it being so large in scale. Still, the design is very good.

Alright, that's it. I'm done $*&%ing about. Time to get serious about finding Bumblebee. I'm forsaking the local search and sending a flight attendant friend out to every Target in every city they go to. Victory shall be mine!

My Wal-mart has been getting hit pretty hard since the movie came out. Before, you could find pretty much all of the figures...well except for Bumblebee and Barricade. But now everytime I go check out the toys, it looks like a tornado went through and took everything but Swindle and like 2 Ratchets with it. So it'll probably be a while before I can find the newer wave.
