The Energon Pub

EDIT:
Quick update, we got 5 cases of the scout class in last nite. I wasnt there, so no case breakdown untill tommorow, however my overnighter said when he looked through the case, there were 2 DIFFRENT WW2 BIPLANE tfs, the one weve already seen, and a blue autobot one. he said the name, but I couldnt for the life of me understand it, all I know is it starts with a C

is this a repaint in the same wave as the origional? or a new mold we havent seen yet? anybody know?

anyway, ill have the scouts and the robot heros breakdowns tommorow, and we will know weather it is new or not then. Also my inventory states I have only 16 more deluxe figs inbound this week, so im guessing those are the preview figs.

more info comming as I get it.


ok, last nite we got the mothr lode of tf shipments. I havent had time to go through everything, but heres what I have so far:

Movie Leader Class Wave 1:
1x Optimus Prime
1x Megatron

Movie Voyager class Wave 1:
from left to right
1x Repaint Voyager Optimus
1x Demolisher
1x Ironhide
1x Starscream

Optimus Voice Changer Roleplay asst
is exaclty as it reads
2x Optimus voice changer

Robot Replicas Wave 1
from left to right
2x Optimus Prime
2x Starscream
2x Ironhide
2x Ratchet

TRA TM2 Role play Blaster
4x Bumblebee blaster

we also got the robot heros in by the motherlode, but I didnt get to those yet.

oddly though, not one movie preivew case, and with the shelf date of those supposedly being the 15th, thats odd. Also of not is the fact that the wave 1 leader class also has a may 30th shelf date, so i guess op being part of the movie preivew line just went out the window, unless of course he comes in a special display or his own packaging.

no bumblebee voice changers or bumblespuds yet either.

weve got so far:
12x Cases movie deluxe wv 1r2
2 cases movie leader
3 cases movie voyager
20 cases robot heros
5 cases optimus voice changer
2 cases bumblebee blaster
4 cases robot replicas
with more on the way

Theres been no word on the remod for these yet, which is realy odd, no pdq's or display pieces either, which probably means this is all gonna come in loads at the last minute. also, the back room manager is takeing all of my inventory and loading it ubove the steel rafters in the back room, which means as of yet, no plans to have these going out may 29-30 at midnight

so heres what im gonna do. Im working overnight that night. At midnight would normaly be my first breaktime. so, at midnight, im gonna go have them pull all my frieght off the rafters, grab my tfs, then haul the pallets out onto the floor and let all commers go at it. So if your in the Austin tx area, expect to see them at the Parmer and 35 Wal-mart then.

as soon as the preivew figs come in, ill update.

UPDATE:

sadly not much, just 8 cases of the Bumblbee Voice mixer, 2x to a case, and 3 more voyager cases.

FP%C'd Immortal Starscream! Thanks!

hmmmm, so it would seem I am spending $180 May 30th.

Based on this list, about $150 for me.

Funny how stores seem to be getting these in stock now, the Target i work at(T#1918, Kissimmee, Fl) has not received any of these yet, I know because I work the backroom receiving area, last we got in was about a week ago for the Animated Jetfire/ Jetstorm pack, and only 1 case...

Hope we get these in soon, I want to at least take a look at these in person.

Is there a list posted anywhere of ROTF DPCI's?
I plan on opnly picking up movie 2 figures, no really interested in movie 1 figures, save myself some money.

one starscream per case? well that sucks.

Thank god i only buy the autobots because that means i only have to spend $111

I'll probably get ROTF Voyager Prime/Ironhide since they are slightly different and have some pretty nice paint apps. I probably won't be getting Demolisher for awhile, as I see him as a shelf-warmer.

Leader Class Megs/Optimus.. I'll probably get Megs, and hope Prime is still available later

Was goign to post my own thread then remembered this one.

So I was getting dog food tongiht and I figured I'd head back and scope out the toy aisle, figuring they might have something I might want a peek at.

I see the usual fare, and then realize I'm staring at a whole section of the Revenge of the Fallen toys. So I think to myself, 'Aren't these not coming out until Botcon?' and shrug and went through what they had and put a few figs in the cart.

Yeah, they're not supposed to be selling them and they refused to sell them to me. *shrugs*

All they had out were the Voyagers, the activators, a TON of deluxes, some basic or smaller, and some of the Cyber-stomp figs. No leader figs in sight.

Not sure if the case assortments had been posted, but here's what I remember seeing:

Deluxes
8+ Bumblebee with the firing arm
4+ Autobot Jet (can't remember his name)
4+ Sideswipe
2+ Sideways
2+ Rampage

Voyagers
1 Prime (I really don't like the new paint job in person)
2 Starscream
2 Crane Constructicon (again with the name)
2 Ironhide

I didn't paw through the activators as they are my least favorite of the lines, but the stomping Megatron was...different. I also didn't pay enough attention to the basic/legends that were on the pegs and I was too exhausted to go back after they refused to sell them to me.

So anyway, there it is.

some possible info on a new/repaint fig added to origional post
