I think every other tf forum has at least 5 threads about this, so I thought we should have at least one. Are you guys finding any new energon figs? I've seen omega, e-strongarm, and offshoot: that's it. No bulkhead, shockblast, cliffjumper, sharkticon, e-hotshot, command ravage, or doomlock. In fact, the last energon figs I got were arcee and insecticon at the end of may, so this has been quite a dry spell for me. Are you guys finding anything? I'm sure w/ the holiday season coming up, I'll see some new stuff before too long, but it's hard to be patient.

Between SS49 and I we have all of the new stuff. I have Bulkhead, Cliffjumper, Offshot, Strongarm, Omega, and Cliffjumper. Pat has all of those plus Comand Ravage, Doomlock, Deadend, Hotshot, Sharkticon, Towline, and Downshift. So all in all. I have seen all of the new stuff in Va Beach.

I ahve not really seen any new Energon..I don't count the ones I ordered from Big Bad Toy store, since I didn't find them locally. I think Offshoot , Strongarm repaint and Dead End and Omega are the only ones I have found locally...I always miss the Doomlocks...someone always strips them out before I get there...

I have been on a pretty good run as of late. Omega is plentiful. I bought Towline and Downshift at Target in the old Energon packaging. My mom found Cliffjumper for me at a new Wally's that openned close to her. The other day my Wally's restocked with Powerlinks battles packaging of Deluxes and Basics. That got me Sharkticon, but I skipped Doomlock and Command Ravage. All the new characters were very plentiful.

I forgot I did get Towline and Downshift, but they were in the old packaging....
I should probably see some more stuff tomorrow....My Wal-Mrt is closing tonight at 1030p and reopening at 900am tomorrow they must be restocking tonight...at least that is what I was told...

I've regained a bit of hope for my wm; when I went in today, all the unicrons, jetfires, and ironhides were gone, and the deluxe figs were dwindling. I'm hoping this means I'll be seeing new stuff soon.

Gunman has had some great luck with the new stuff. Usually once he starts finding stuff it is about 2 weeks and they arrive here. I am hoing that is the case here....

As he said. Great luck. I picked up Doomlock, Comand Ravage, Downshift, Sharkticon, Towline, and Energon Hotshot last night. As well as the Universe Magna Stampede set, and Whirl. Now if I could only find Dead End.

I picked up sharticon and slugslinger today; hopefully that means I'll be seeing more new stuff soon.

Congrats man! i just got Slugslinger today as well and my second Sharkticon! Whoohoo! Thanks! Same to you! I have to say, on first tfing slugslinger, I don't think he's that great. I love the head sculpt, but there's too much kibble impeding his arm movements, and the shoulders pop out too easily. also, he's pretty fragile in alt mode. Sharkticon is great, though. The only things I don't really like are the face (more paint apps), and the kibble on the arms. Overall though, he's probably my favorite deluxe energon fig. I don't think I'll buy another, though; I'll just pick up the inevitable repaint(s).

Went to tru for this week's sale (buy 2 tfs, get one free), and came away w/ nothing. They didn't have the prime/megs two-pack, new alts, univ: primal, sideswipe, etc. I think the earlier shoppers beat me to all the good stuff. You guys might want to check your trus; maybe you'll have better luck.
