The Energon Pub

In case you hadn't noticed.

It applies in-store and online...and it looks like they currently have the Combaticons and Asian deluxe figures in stock.

I was in TRU the other day and miraculously found all 5 Combaticons.

Unfortunately, upon seeing them in-person for the first time, I realized that the Playskool color scheme is really awful.

Fortunately, I already pre-ordered the G2 version on Amazon.

I'll stop by TRU today and see if I can take advantage of this sale, but barring ANOTHER miracle (such as finding Kup and Rumble or the GDO Deluxes), it'll most likely be a wasted trip.

Pretty much only worth it if:

1. You are shopping in person. Online, for the 5 combaticons, it costs about the same as the box set G2 Bruticus from BBTS.

2. You need to catch up on PRiD deluxes and there is no 9.99 Aldi sale near you.

Wish they would do a BOGO for PRiD voyagers, I still need all 6

I still say they are better as stand alone figures and not combined. You're gonna love the G2 version, it's so awesome looking even in the box which is where it shall remain. What TRU really needs to do is have a BB sale in time for the holidays. Buy any BB from Prime or DOTM and get 2 free. They would make the perfect stocking stuffer or gag gift!

Thanks for the heads up Tresob!

Catching up on PRiD deluxes? Heck this area is scalper galore so its not even catching up its almost like starting out lol. Aldi isnt even on this side of the country so Ive been trying to find kind souls to buy up the PRiDs I need and Ill pay as soon as I can. Ive been lucky to find a few rare deluxes and Im saving them for daughters Xmas so Im just hoping to round out the rest of the line ASAP.

A quick question before I buy.

Is this

First edition or PRID cliffjumper?

I'm skeptical because it doesn't say first edition anywhere, and I don't remember Cliffjumper being one of the First Editions reissued.

And I don't trust online toy retailers at all when it comes to product images.

I just took advantage of the sale to grab a Swerve and Springer. No COmbaticons anywhere though...

Someone else said they ordered it and got Terrorcon Cliffjumper. So they rang up TRU and TRU said a replacement was on the way and it had a different SKU. I think hes waiting for it to arrive, as we all are. I dont think itll really be FE Cliffjumper but its a better choice than having to buy/ ship one from ebay if it works out.

My own TRU was rather sparse today...but I did buy a Nitro Bumblebee for $3.50 at Walmart. Not sure why I bought it, other than it being cheap.

And I was tempted by some DOTM Voyagers at Marshalls for $10.00...but I resisted.

Deals are out there, fellas.

anyone wants to get a Wheelie for me, I'll pay 50% of the total, plus shipping to the UK.

Still need Prid dead end, hotshot, arachnind, bumblebee, and I need first editon arcee and vehicon (already have 2 RID vehicons just want a different version of him). Unfortunantly my t.r.u did not have the Asia exclusive Deluxes yesterday and they did not have GDO Hotspot. I saw powerdive and scout laserbeak, dead end, and Brawl but I am waiting because I am saving up for Masterpiece Thundercracker, but I plan to get All of these next time I visit. I should be thundercrakcer or tru mp prime soon. Prime will be on layaway. I saw him the other day and I hestitated. This was one big mistake. I cant find mp Prime now and If I see him again....He is mine. They seem to have a large ubundance of thundercrakcers so I do not have to worry about him. But he is a big one on my list. I am going to get the g2 bruticus redeco from BBTS. Definetly am not settling for retail fruiticus! and my Walmart and target also have bumblbebonic plague of BBs My wallet will not be getting a break seeing as there is another list of TFs I need.
long live the cons

I was able to snag two FE Vehicons during the sale.
I'm satisfied!
