The Energon Pub

That's right the Walmart around my neighborhood. The classics I saw were Cliffjumper,Grimlock,Mirage,RamJet. For 10 bucks the deluxes. They are restocking them again there. Cybertron Primus for fifty bucks. I saw a couple there. Kinda steep. I saw a whole bunch of dvd TF movie edition Mp Optimus Primes for $69.95. It's the first time I've seen those there since Christmas of last year. Still have the same price. Never seen them for not even 50 bucks or less there. Saw just one movie voyager Starscream ,and the most are movie side toys. No other movie voyagers, no fabs, no legends, or no leader toys either. Hasbro never seizes to amaze me. Argh! Man, deluxe 2008 Bumblebee is hard to find ,and I go often to see. It's just as hard as the other movie figures. Bet the scalpers are thanking Hasbro for this. For getting desperate people to buy high inflated prices for hard to find almost 2 months old movie toys. Big profit for them ,and none for Hasbro. Not too smart Hasbro. Way to go!

I was just at a Wal-Mart that had Classic Deluxes knocked down to $5.00 (although they only had 1 Cliffjumper left) and the Voyager Primes and Jetfires were knocked down to $13.00. They probably had about 15 Primes, and 10 Jetfires. Of course, I paid $20.00 for each about three weeks ago, never figuring they'd get rereleased and having the priced knocked downsignificantly. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

I just went to Wally world and saw similar results,
but no movie stuff.
I have a theory that the new production(molding parts,
assembling, packaging and distribution) is taking
too long so Walmart is moving items from their online
division and shipping them to the stores.
That would make sense as to why I see all the things
available online now on their shelves.

After my trip to Walmart I went to Kmart though.
Oh boy! I found some TF movie stuff on their wheeled carts.
Still boxed I opened one up. Upon seeing the voyager Megs
I knew today was the day to get him. Oh happy day.
I was so happy I didn't even look to see if they had any new deluxes.

They'll be happily surprised when they reopen the box and find one less TF for them to have to stock(or not stock as
seems to be the case).

The transformers toy selection on the Kmart where I live stinks. They never have hardly any transformers toys ,and if they do they are a couple of bucks over priced from the other stores. That is why I hardly ever bother to go there.
Congrats by the way!

There's already a whole slew of these threads. Why start another?

I'd rather pay 2 more bux at Kmart than
10 or more buying online.
I also checked the Family Dollar down the road and found
the Universe Energon repaints and KO called Quickchangers.
there were three diff 2-packs and they looked
like Robot Masters: Star Saber w/Victory Leo,
2 diff Cyber Jets, and the R.I.D. motorcycles. They were
only 3 buxs.

i found a cybertron primus at TRU today for 50 bucks, i used the 20% off coupon someone posted a few days ago, total was around 40, was it worth it?? I love the toy, just wanted to know how many other people would have bought it

I just bought a Ramjet at my Walmart. Same thing-must have just opened the last cases of Classics, Cybertron, DVD Optimus, etc. to get rid of them. Is there still demand for these guys? Are there still lots of folks looking for Ramjet?

Of course, no case with a Starscream in it. Oh well, the search continues...

I was there today and they added a couple Primus' and about 6 Jetfires to go with their large quantities of Prime and Devastator. I had already bought Jetfire from Walmart.com a couple days ago but I'm impatient so I bought another one. Figure I'll have one in the box to sell when they disappear from the shelves again.
