The Energon Pub

I got my Generations Wheeljack in the mail today from HTS. I was very excited and took him with me as I was riding in the car. I started to loosen the the tabs to transform him when his passenger side door popped off and shot through the small opening of the car window. My excitement turned to dissapointment when a fruitless search of the area turned up nothing. I guess I just better hope to see him at retail. Not a good day.

FAK! that sux man.

It is funny though at the same time........... but still sux.

It just popped off and shot out the window?!

wow, that is some bad luck!

Yeah, never had a thing pop off on Tracks and then this.

At least your's had a door when you received him.

Yours did not?

My Wreck gar was headless MISB.

This agony is amusing.

The pain one feels is really indescribable. Given that Wheeljack is one of the hard to find figs. In my case United Wreck gar is all but sold out (heck even per-ordered him since December 2010)

I've had something like that happen while kitbashing. A spring launched itself into oblivion while I was trying to reassemble it. This loss of spring rendered the figure useless.

I can grab one for ya if your super desperate for one. PM if your interested. I gotta a guy

It'll cost ya 20 plus shipping unfortunately but thems the breaks.

Clips, springs screws, its all frustrating, that's happened to me on a couple of occasions now.

Sort of in the same type, I stopped once and tossed the package of the Target Dirge/Roadbuster 2 pack into a construction dumpster on my way home from work (so the wife wouldn't notice ) and forgot to take the sword/knife out of the plastic

Yeah, you guessed it, I dumpster dived that Mo-Fo early the next morning, flashlight and all, and actually managed to find it. What a dumbass I was!

You'll be ok with United Wreck gar as TT is going to re-release the United line wave by wave as it's been so popular.

Lost Cybertronian: sorry to hear about your door, that's really unlucky. Try searching again and maybe it'll turn up.

Maybe you were just to excited?

Yeah I haven't found WJ anywhere. I got one when I ordered a case from TFSource. The way the retail stores are stocking, I'm doubtful he'll ever show up.

Sorry to hear about your WJ. I have a Blurr that is missing an eye. Thinking about making an eyepatch just for him.
