The Energon Pub

so ive looked in targets in virginia while on vacation, and targets in new jersey when i got back but i cant find this fracking thing. is it just not out yet or have scalpers beaten me yet again?

Scalpers have been buying them by the cases. I have seen NONE in a 70 square mile radius from where I live, and makes for about 6-8 Targets that I know of. That and some Target's just don't give a sh*t and don't order any.

Scalpers are not the problem. They are not out everywhere. I have two Targets where I live and only one store got them in. They will be saturating everywhere soon.

Get the DPCI number. Not all Targets have put them out yet.

I've been hearing the same thing about 08 BB for weeks now. Sorry, man, but prove it.

In redding Ca, nothing. I came down to Yuba City Ca today to see my sister and they were over flowing the racks. And Movie Ed. Brawls everywhere.

it's not the fact that they are hard to find, but that you have to get them at the right time.

When they stock those shelves, which really depends on the store and employee attitudes, they have a little variety.

this does not last too long though. so my advice is to just get there early or tyry to find a pattern in the stocking, what time was it when you saw the most figures up..something like that.

In my experience it's like 80% of being there at the right place at the right time

Go to Kohls. And wave 2 figures have been delayed in some places due to production. They are slowly trickling out.

Been there, done that-many times. Obviously you've never been to the Bay Area, the suckiest place on earth when it comes to finding transformers.

Been to the only 2 Kohl's I know of. Nothing but 1 Scorpy and 3 Prime Helmets.

Amen to that, brother. San Jose sucks for finding TFs.

Target in Clifton, NJ had them ... I already have the prototype figure so I didn't need to run around looking for him. I just happened to be at the Target when they were putting them out.

I used the DCPI method today and, while it took awhile amongst the busy-ness (school starts tomorrow/today here for the kiddies), I got it no prob.

If you can't find Jazz, I'll trade you one for a Concept Cmaro or Movie Arcee.

We've got them and the repaint Starscream at our Target. Plenty of them too, last I checked.

I like the repaints much better than the originals btw!

Got it yesterday. It's out. Much better than the original, imho.

picked him up today...he rocks...now i'll just sit and wait patiently for them to make an Ironhide G1 repaint

Shoot that's all our targets have is G1 style Jazz and G1 style Starscream. Every once in a while I see a new Titanium (finally saw Sunstorm and Cheetor).

went to target and wow..soooo many g1 starscreams, 2 brawls( I guess they get put out in twos or something), and g1 jazz. Got jazz, but seriously, it was the most transformers I have ever seen on shelves..with the "drought" and all.

G1 jazz is cool, anybody think g1 SS is worth it?

the SS is much better than the original movie version, imo!! and the jazz is cool too!!

easily my favourite movie toy, nice and bright, hands a bit off but looks great next to gen 1 version.

why yes, yes I do think he's worth it.

Those are really good pics of him. Yes, G1 Colors SS is VERY worth it. I didn't care for him in the pictures I have seen him on the internet, but in real life, he looks great. I have him with Classics SS, Titanium WWI SS, and with G1 SS. If I hadn't sold my G1 colors Energon SS, he'd be with them too. But he kind of sucked which is why I sold him.

Just saw both the Jazz and Starscream repaints today for the first time. Still looking for the Bumblebee two-pack though.
