The Energon Pub

I guess I will start this thread. I went to my local tru and they had most of dexluxe,real gear, voyager ironhide,rachet,starcream,blackout but no optimus prime and megatron. I looked at the leader class optimus prime at first but didn't like the light and sound gimick. So I have decide that out of the movie toys I would collect the voyager ones. So down to what I got I end up getting ironhide I have to say he really is pretty cool all things considered. The big cannon make him look like a really badass. I just hope he gets to use it in the movie as well. Can't wait to hear what other people have picked up today.

Picked up Leader Class Optimus and Voyagers Ironhide and Blackout from TRU. Then got Deluxes Bumblebee, Brawl, and Bonecrusher from Target

Picked up Ironhide, Blackout, Ratchet, and Robovision Prime. The Deluxes and the Real Gear guys are in the mail from HTS. Might still get Starscream, and I'm debating on Scorpy as well.

I got Bonecrusher,Brawl,and Jazz.

Due to spending-saving restrictions in place (i.e. I want to be able to afford food too) I got Bumblebee and Barricade today, and nothing else. Barricade gives me great joy.

Bumblebee vs. Barricade. All I could spare cash for... But definitely worth it.

I picked up voyager class blackout and starscream. I think the voyager ones are the only ones i'll get. They are just amazing!

Was unsure about Prime and left that one.

Hopefully more of these figs will come in voyager class, they are just great!

Did my shopping spree at Wal-Mart. I wanted to check out TRU and Target, but after calling them, KB, and a local shop...no one had Megatron, so I was sad. Then angry, then...sad.

Here's what I have, and here's what I bought:

Have:
Bonecrusher
Brawl
Ironhide
Jazz
Ratchet
Starscream

Bought:
Blackout
Bumblebee VS. Barricade
Optimus Prime (Leader Class)
Scorponok (not a bad figure to be honest, but I bought him because of the integration with Blackout. It works and it's neat.)

Scorp was hard to find though. I found only one of him, and one of Wreckage. I skipped Wreckage altogether.

I got...
Jazz
Wreckage
Barricade
and
Starscream
Fun figures, but not really that great.

So I was at wal-mart, and wow did they do an awesome job. I saw the TF G1 poster, and some g1 minibot keychain figures. They had a huge mid aisle display, and when I say aisle I mean the walkway area so that everyone in the store sees it, and it was packed with stuff. The regular action figure aisle had even more stuff, deluxes were falling off of pegs. Every single movie figure was available, so I got laserbeak, wreckage, jazz, wincharger (g1 keychain), and the barricade bumblebee 2 pack. I take that back, leader megatron wasn't there and there was only 1 leader Prime left, but I have a feeling those sold and were there because this wal-mart is great.

Really made me psyched to see all this stuff.

I heard one woman with a kid pass by go "Wow they brought back the transformers"


PS: Sig request. Can someone get me the Transformers movie logo and underneath say something like "They're not back, because they were never gone" with a picture of Prime or something. I'd really appreciate it.

robovision prime, blackout, starscream, booster10x, thats what i got today now all i need is voyager megatron.....

i got robovision prime, Arcee, Hardtop, Ironhide, and legends bumblebee. they're all great, even the repaints, though legends bumblebee is a teeny bit of a letdown (the back window isn't painted, thinking of letting it be one of my first attempts at custom painting)

I LOOOVE robovision prime: i like that the little 'cowboy' in the drivers seat disapears when you open the door. small detail, but then, its the small stuff that makes the bigger whole more awesome.

ironhide is also very cool. my best friend always gripes about "push to fire" missiles, and I always have had a dislike for the spring-loaded kind..... ironhide's gun is like a happy medium.

2x Swindle
1x Bonecrusher
2x Blackout
1x Autobot Rachet
1x FAB: Cannon Blast Ironhide
1x FAB: Battle Blade Starscream
1x FAB: Power Hook Optimus Prime

1x Sector 7 - Arcee (Target Exclusive)
1x Sector 7 - Hardtop (Target Exclusive)

That's only the stuff I bought today. I pretty much have 2 of everything at this point except the Wal-Mart Exclusive Robot Heroes 5 pack and Leader Class Megatron.

I piced up FAB Starscream and Speed Dial 800

Wal*Mart: Bonecrusher, Bumblebee vs. Barricade first encounter for me; Optimash Prime, cyber slammer Bumblebee for the kids. Probably my last purchase for a while since I already have 4 movie Optimus Prime and 2 Starscream. Wasn't going to buy any today but couldn't pass on the 2 pack price (saved $3) and I wanted Bonecrusher to re-enact the highway scene.

Picked up a defective Ironhide (I fixed it) from Walmart and Bonecrusher from TRU.

All I need is my Jazz to come in the mail and I'm pretty much done with the movie line.

Guess I'll post the first pictures...

Like others, I was restricted by my wallet, but my eyes mentally grabbed a helluvalot more than I physically purchsed...

Real Gear Booster x10 & Zoom Out 25x



Robot Heroes Prime & Ravage and Magnus & Megatron (almost cried - not really - seeing everyone else, and not being able to afford them all right now...)


and the reason I even walked into Wal-Mart (Target didn't have RV Prime, negating my reason for walking into there)...Jazz.



God, is he amazing...

My friend is going out tonight, and if he finds Robo-Vision Prime and the WM Excl. Robot Heroes, he's grabbing them for me...

I nabbed Robot Heroes Magnus and Megatron, Bonecrusher, Wreckage and Starscream..

Robovision Prime
Ratchet
Starscream
Blackout
Wreckage
Prime Plushie
Bumblebee Plushie

All i need now is Swindle to round out all currently available.

Since I scored early and bought most of mine on Monday and Tuesday, I basically only needed Blackout, Ratchet , and Megatron. Today I got Ratchet and Blackout, but haven't seen a Megatron.

im probably the only not goin gto get anything today . but ill just wait for that target sail tommorrow(if anything's left)

I couldn't get to my local Target until late in the day, so I was basically picking through the scraps. I was happy to find a Voyager Ironhide and a Spyshot 6.
I have to say that I passed on a Voyager Starscream a Realgear Zoomout, and that one that turns into the PSP thingie.* They just didn't do anything for me in person.
Having played with them, I LOVE Spyshot 6. He's going EVERYWHERE with me! (Until I round up a Speed Dial 800 anyway.) Ironhide on the other hand bothers me. He doesn't stand well, and his ugly mug isn't even painted propperly. I'll be doing something about him shortly...

*I know, I know: Power Up VT6.

WEnt to Target today, Wanted a robo-vison prime These Weirdos bought all of them (To sell on ebay...) So I thought, Well If Theres no robo-vision prime I will buy leader. He was gone. I got all pissed off. Then I decided to look at the real gears debated inside my head what to do, Decided not to. Looked at the voyagers there was 1 blackout left so I took that other than that we had 3 ratchets and tons of ironhides ( bought one Ironhide) And starscream by the dozens. There were only movie previews for deluxes.

Same here. I go in, expecting to easily find BB and Jazz, and find that all that's left in the normal section are the scout repaints, one Scorponok, and one Jazz. They had a seperate display with the Voyagers, so I ended up with Ironhide.

I got Messed up Leader Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Booster x10.
