The Energon Pub

I created this thread so I we could brag about the best deals I've we've gotten on Transformers toys.

My personal best deals:
$20 for an unopened Movie 2007 Leader Optimus Prime at a flea market
$1 for Animated Shockwave at Wal-Mart
$25 for unopened Hasbro Masterpiece Starscream at a flea market

Let the bragging begin!

G1 Boxed Optimus Prime missing only a few accessories (which I already had spare) for $20AU

Back before the market was flooded with reissues and original G1 Primes were going for over $150.

G1 Swoop: $15
G1 Abominus: $25
Waifu with all accessories and no issues with collecting: $priceless

Wow! You got Unicron just for grades? Lucky.

I just picked up a RotF Terradive (who I will be calling Jhiaxus on my shelf) for $2.98 at Target in Totowa, NJ. In fact, anyrthing that isn't from DotM or Generations (Which if your looking for Skullgrin or Thunderwimg that is all they have) is $2.98. So if your in the area, they have a whole rack of clearance TFs.

Well, these aren't really "deals", as in store purchases, but...

I had a friend at work GIVE me a complete (minus tech specs) G1 Sureshot and G1 Brainstorm. They're in MINT condition.

Also, my best friend pretty-much gave me his old G1 Crossblades. He's only 75% complete, but he's in good shape.

G1 Windcharger: $11: Not a very extreme deal
G1 Ironhide MISP: $74: Do I even need to comment?
G2 Bumblebee: Free: My friend
G1 Outback: $5

Lio Convoy Vs Galvatron giftset: $150

Star Convoy reissue: $50

G1 Jetfire complete with gun clip: $60

G1 Star Saber MIB: $60

Road Caesar: $200

Botcon 2008 boxset: Traded my extra 2009 set for it

TFCC Piranacon: Traded my extra Banzai-Tron and Skyquake set for it

craigslist? apparently in my country (singapore) the only transformers listed there are the disney label. micky + donald (monochrome + regular) $40 SGD for all 4. Now who wants THAT CRAP? they were giving away free donalds with every $200 spent on DOTM toys...

I scored alot of stuff from craigslist so far.

Seems to be the only place to find figures locally although few and far in between.

Also now that I think of it

KO Defensor $7
KO Devastator $7

Tuesday Morning!
