The Energon Pub

For those of you who did not pre-order, these have just been added
to the store.

Astrotrain $87 + shipping

Airazor $42 + shipping

What is left in inventory is now available via first come, first serve at
transformersclub.com/shop

BotCon info will be out very soon as we have only one item's detail that is
holding up the information.

We appreciate your support and know it has been a long time coming. With all
that is going on this year with Transfomers, it has been much more complicated
that past years. We know you will love what is coming at BotCon 2007!

Thanks for your support,

Brian

I'm almost done with Astrotrain's gallery. I'm going to try to post Rumble later tonight and then tomorrow or Wednesday night when I do Powerlinx Jetfire's gallery, I'll take some photos of Astrotrain powerlinxed up (?) with Armada Prime and Overload. Those are the only pics of Astrotrain waiting to be posted right now.

Sounds cool, I can not wait.

So for those with these two are they worth getting. I'm a club member, but still sitting on the fence about them.

I'm still waiting on Astrotrain, but Airazor is definitely worth it!

Holy crap! $87US + S? That's a lot for a figure and 4 Mini-Cons, even extremely kickass repaints/tools of a figure and 4 Mini-Cons... I take it being in the Club gets expensive!

And when I'm out of fun money, too. Poopy!

O.K., so I just joined the club but it doesn't recognize me and I can't create a user account. Anybody else have a problem like this or am I doing something wrong?
I really want this Astrotrain.
GGrrr!!

When did you join? If it was very recently it might take a few days for you to get fully updated in the system. You could try contacting Pete or another Club Staff member though.

I joined after I read this post when I saw there were Astrotrains available. A few days huh? That's a bummer. I hope they're not sold out by the time I can access my account.
I'll call tomorrow morning. Thanks.

If you call or email they might be able to take your order. It seems to take a little longer to get into the store database then it does the forum and actual club systems. Not sure why.

Don't get me wrong....I really want Astrotrain and Airazor...but the prices are just way too up there for me to justify getting them. I might get Airazor just to finish off my Botcon Beast Wars stuff but Astrotrain is just way too much. Very nicely done...but way too much money.

Can't wait for the Astrotrain gallery Ryan.

Yeah the price held me off till now. But really for a small run figure with a remolded head plus the minicons its not that bad. I mean they probably couldn't lower much more then that and still make a profit. Though even with this rationalization my wallet is screaming at me now:)

It would be much worse if you were not a club member and you bought them. Your looking at $140 roughly for the two at club price, double that for a non-member.

Same thing goes for the combiner exclusives. All in all the exclusives are a tad expensive but well worth it. I was really blown away with Airazor and Astrotrain. Plus I always like the more rare TF's for my collection.

I highly recommend them.

The box for Astrotrain alone is so nice it borders on erotic.

The paint appz, the new head sculpt, nicely done packaging and being exclusive... I think it's worth the money. I gotta call to see when mine is coming.

Edit: called and mine is not shipping out until today and tomorrow----> realistically translated as " I wont see it until 3 more weeks"

Damn thats alot. Were they that much to pre-order? Looks like i wont be getting these.

SO TRUE!

Yeah, they were. The only difference with the pre-order is that we were going to get them. No idea how many were left over from the production run. I believe each one is limited to 2,000 units.

Mine shipped today

Well I was told I'd be able to make an account and access the order pages by 5:00 today, but I still can't and now nobody is there.
Pretty frustrating and confusing. I can go to almost any web site, become a member and do everything a member can do, in one day. Thank you Seibertron. But for some reason not in the Transformers Club. What gives? Really. And it cost a good chunk of change to boot.
GGrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
