A couple months ago I'd seen Buzzworthy Bumblebee Silverstreak at Ollie's for around $10

I’ve been to every Ross in the area looking for the Buzzworthy deluxes (specifically the Bayverse Bees), but never found any. I did find some of the repacked ROTB Energon Igniters though, the ROTF Megatron one is actually really good! Much more articulation and a more involved transformation than the others

Maybe "origin Jazz" will wind up there too. That's another one that was supposed to have been in Target, but never seems to have shown up...

Really? I'm surprised, I thought he was readily available, at least for a time, like Towline and the NEST guys.

Also, people on social media are correcting us about an assumption that these exclusives are not coming from the retailers but from Hasbro themselves. I'm wondering if that's just a technical correction or more.
Because an exclusive means that all units produced are sold to an exclusive retailer, nationally. So all orders are accounted for, everything's been bought. If, as they say, Hasbro is the one sending these exclusives to Ross, is it simply that Walmart/Target don't have space for all that they already ordered and thus are asking Hasbro to not ship them the rest of the order and just dump it on their behalf? Or is it product that was not ordered by Walmart afterall and Hasbro is themselves recuperating costs by dumping it for retailers?
The later doesnt make much sense to me since Hasbro could just sell their product online as they have in the past (either on e-bay or pulse).

Just wanted to know if people had more info on this, since i do want to get the news right.

Pretty sure you're correct. The only reason these would be coming from Hasbro is if the stores sent them back, which doesn't sound right since retailers are more than capable to getting rid of their own unsold stock. If it was stock that the stores didn't take then Hasbro would just sell them on Pulse like they already do. The only thing that looks to be coming from Hasbro is the Shattered Glass figures. But that doesn't mean everything is coming from Hasbro, this is just when they're getting all their Holiday stock into stores at once.

Ollie's email today mentions Transformers and Hasbro as being part of their, "Toy Closeout Headquarters" and have purchased, "Over 1500 Truckloads".

I have an Ollie's near me but haven't been in a while. Has anyone noticed any good deals?
