The Energon Pub

They had the cyber stompers and the fast action battlers.

Yeah, I've been picking up the Real Gears from there and the Deluxes from Boscovs. Guy at Target said they weren't getting anything until midJune but the guy was lying. He's a scalper who sells stuff from the trunk of his car a half hour after the store closes!

I have been hitting all the Kmarts and have had no luck finding anything but the sneak preview figs.

Kmart here in San Diego had Real Gear on the shelf but, the computer flagged not ready for sale at register. The clerks were to confused to figure out a way to ring them up any other way and would not sell them. Bastards! They did offer to hold the figures in for me until the date passed, because these figures aren't going to be anywhere else, I passed.

hey might have more than the protforms in you my case since my location is close to yours.

I found the same thing at one of the 4 K-marts I visited, but they wouldn't sell to me either. The manager was nice enough to let me go back and see if there were movie deluxes for purchase, but no luck. They had all the real gear, the FAB's, the Cyber Stompers, the plushies, and the Optimus Prime blaster.

But of all the 20 (twenty, gorram it, twenty) stores I hit in the last two days, none of them had movie deluxes, and none of them knew anything about the Hasbro press release this week.

Frustration does not begin to tell the tale.

Ive only been able to find the Preview figures so far. THough I might have to check the K-Mart near me.

The K-Mart near me had all that.

However, according to the stock person I asked to help, the folowing flagged as saleable:

Cyber-stomping Prime and Bumblebee
Voice Changer Helmet
And, of course, the movie preview protoforms.

Besides that, the unsellable ones included most of the Real Gear toys (I had frickin' Longview in my hands!), the Squishyformers / popplebots, and a pretty large selection of FAB's

Same thing at the Kmart by me in Riverhead NY. I tried to pic some up but the computer wont let them sell it untill june 6th. They tried to get it to work but no luck. They had all the Real gear, FABS, and stompers. I told them that the Deluxe guys should be out. They check and they didnt have any. They were cool about it though. They are holding the ones that i want so when they can be sould i can go and get them. I have FAB Ironhide, Rg Laserbeak and the RG psp looking guy on hold. I dont understand how some stores havent gotten the Deluxe guys yet. KB toys even has them. And i checked target and they didnt have them either. I know a few people that work there and they looked for me. All they had were the preview figures.

I have seen jack$#!t and jack left town...

In other words, we're slow here in Michigan and I have yet to see any movie figures...except the thousands of preview figures in my area. At least you have seen them, although I bet it is a bit more frustrating to see them, have them taken from your hand because it's too early (I've had that happen too), then not seeing them yet at all.

I'm working on practicing how to be patient here, because in less than a month we will be flooded with TF merch, and toys, and well then it will be divine... for a little bit anyway...

This is the same at my local Kmart.I just seen these today

I didn't know that the Cyber Stompin Bumblebee had the 1984 G1 theme when you pushed it button

Prime has Gary Chalk saying I am Optimus Prime

The Fast action Battlers were bigger then I first thought and I will grab these
