I swung by the Ypsilanti Ollie's at lunch. They had 4 Trypticons by the exit door near the registers. Was surprised to see them again.

Bought 2 Overlords at the Farmington Ollie's yesterday! They had 8 more, plus 2 Octones.

Haven't been to Westland Ollie's in half a week, but intend to check today.

Not a sighting per se, but I just saw earlier todsy that the Saline rd Walmart updated their deluxe amounts from 5 to 13. When my Walmart did that, they had the wave 3 box out for stock around midnight.

I recommend some 4th of july shopping for anyone wanting to snag the set of 3 terrorcons.

To clarify, that is how I scored my terrorcon set late this sunday night.

Ann Arbor/Saline Rd Target had 1 SS Jazz and 2 SS Lockdowns. They also had Wave 2 Prime Masters. 2 Rippersnappers. The Meijer across the street had 2 Rippersnappers and a Blackwing. The Saline Walmart has a bunch of Tailgates, Battleslash and Roadtraps.

You must have been out of town... you missed out on the Terrorcons at Saline WM. They lasted all of 1 week.

I was. My buddy saw them there and bought the 3 and then grabbed me the other Blot they had.

Well that's good at least. If you are still in need of Sinnertwin and Cutthroat I can keep an eye out.

Carpenter Rd Meijer had 4 Cindersaurs and 4 Outbacks today. I passed on outback because I won an auction for a loose black series speeder bike and biker scout on eBay this morning. Very excited.

Wed Jul 18, 2018 3:13 pm

Finally acquired a set of the WV3 Prime Masters@the Allen Park Meijer today@break. Left one set, and a singular SS Lockdown, as of 11:00am.

Happy Hunting.

Saline Walmart had 2 Hun-grrs and 3 Elita-1s at lunchtime today. They also had a whole case of Wave 2 PotP deluxes. It also looks like someone dropped a bomb in the action figure aisle. Such a mess.

If anyone sees Star Wars Black Series 6" Bespin Han Solo, Rebel Fleet Trooper, or Tobias Beckett, please let me know!

I think our local Targets just got a mass PotP W2 restock. Westland Target had one whole case of deluxes. Wixom Target had one minus Moonracer, but made up for that with one case of Voyagers! First time I've seen Elita 1, so I had to buy, but left Hun-Grrr as I have both in my BBPoL (always was going to get at least 1 extra 1 for custom). I think they had Rodimus Unicronus too.

Still haven't seen Alpha-Mine or Alchmarauder, but the Wixom Meijer has the Wave 1 Prime Masters clearanced to a staggering $3.99, if anyone was holding off till that 20% came a' tumbling down.

Oh, and Westland Ollie's still had 3 Overlords today. Though I'm far more stunned that both they and the Farmington Ollie's seem to have each gotten 2 Miraculous cases of just Cat Noir. Someone on Ebay was trying to sell just one for like $80. That actually makes what I'll eventually have to pay for Hasbro's Misfire, Twin Twist, and Slugslinger seem downright reasonable; did anyone around here find those at Ollie's?

Sadly, after talking to an employee, I think the toys on their floor now might be all we're getting from Ollie's somewhat hyped buyout of TRU's warehouses, or whatever the deal was. Not holding my breath for KayBee to save Christmas either.

If anyone sees these at an area Walmart, can you let me know? I’d appreciate it!

Checked both the Farmington and Westland Ollie's today in response to the Wave 5 news, and while there was a huge restock, I only saw case after case of TR toys I'd already seen there before:

Blitzwing, Octone, Triggerhappy, Krok, Quake, and Twin-something-other-than-twist.

But there was one new face from The Last Knight: The Walmart exclusive HOT ROD! Both locations had at least 20 of him! I got one from the former location, and hope enough TLK fans held out for $7.99. But if some shelfwarm for a month or so, I'll probably need Roddy's time-stopping ability to snag any wave 5 deluxes that do show up, so I'll be glad to keep seeing him for a while.

Long time rejoinder. Just canvassed Ollie's in Taylor on Telegraph, and they are fully stocked. TR Deluxes(the Quake wave, NOT the Misfire wave), a metric ton of Octanes, a couple of Blitzwings, another metric ton of Overlords, some Six Shots, and a couple of Sky Shadows. Also, a case or two of Movie Deluxe WM Hot Rod. Add about a dozen Trypticons.

Prices are as follows: Deluxe, including Hot Rod, $8. Voyagers, $13. Leaders, $20. Trypticon, $50.

Happy hunting, perhaps pre-empt some Holiday obligations.
