The Energon Pub

Site sponsor Robotkingdom dropped by to let us know they have listed a pre-order for the recently revealed Transformers Prime Arms Micron capsule toys. At the moment they are only offering a sealed case of 300, because they don't know what the assortments inside are. They will update the listing when they have more information.

Update: We were just notified by Robotkingdom that there was a typo in their listing. The price is actually $899.90 for a sealed case of 300.

$163USD for shipping by registered Airmail and $185 for EMS... *faints*


Anybody want to do a group buy?

Let's do some math...
89.00 + 163.00 = 252

252/300 = 0.84

I see 5 distinct molds on the flyer (assuming there are no other molds):

5 x 0.84 = $4.20

Lets say shipping to each of us would be 5.00

round it off to $10 per group buy member...

300 pieces / 5 (if distribution is even) = 60 members of the group buy...

double checking... 60 x 4.20 = $252.00

Factor in gas and effort for the one shipping to 59 group members (assmuming no duplicate buys) - member that ships keeps the change. I call that fair...

Put me down for $10

The flyer shows 9 distinct molds, the four on the left and the group shot of five on the right.
Seeing that the ones on the right are just some of the ones from the news we had yesterday with the two packs, I believe there will be even more molds in this than 9 though.

We'll just have to wait till thy find out just what is in the case assortment, could be 10 different molds with 3 variations each.

finally an army of minicons

put me down for 20 to 30 dollars worth

if someone does want to do a seibertron group order that is

Ahh... you're right... Totally jumped the gun (pun intended). 9 distinct molds advertised, I stand corrected. That pretty much throws off the even distribution sentiment (for now). Killer... I'm still down for a group buy once we settle what's actually in the case.

I'd be game for a group buy. That's too good to pass up.

The webpage says that they will update with more information as it becomes available, on their facebook.
Anyone know what their facebook name is? I've search on facebook for Robot Kingdom with no luck.

I'd also be down for a group buy. I'd toss in my 20-30 bucks, these little guys look pretty cool.

This is, of course, assuming that the five molds shown on the right are not exclusive to the AM Deluxes & Voyagers.

It's possible they're just shown to illustrate the ability to combine the Microns into larger weapons (that gigantic sword that Bumblebee is brandishing looks mighty cool, btw).

Oh Minicons, how I've missed you!

Crap, they combine? Now I HAVE to get them.

Like you could have resisted....

Not sure if they are the same thing (i went ahead a preorded them anyway) These look really sweeeeet!

I sure hope that they are able to offer them individually or as a complete set with no duplicates: I don't think there are enough crazy Brits around here to do a group order.

The fact that they combine really does multiply the want factor.

ACTUALLY, I only have maybe 5 minicons in my collection so far, and only because they came with other figures. Mostly because I skipped out on Armada and don't care to buy tiny figures that don't mean anything to me. However, Targetmasters are awesome, so if these are more Targetmaster...y, then I'm in!

There are actually a lot of Asian stores with those capsule machines around here so I really hope they make it over in that form.

I'd be down for a group buy.

Update: Robotkingdom just let us know their initial listing had a typo. The price is actually $899.90 for a sealed case of 300.

That is slightly less amicable

Well said.

I bet some lucky dog managed to bag a case before they noticed their tiny snafu.

Absolutely not needed

Captured Prey has 4 of them for preorder for $4.00 each
