Looks like Doubledealer is sold out already.

That's okay, he's 19.99 at Ollies.

It depends on location but it's clearly not the universal shelfwarmer many fans feared. Bumblebee and Optimus are the faces on the franchise, they sell.

For what it's worth, depending on where you are, your Target may not be stocking toys, or toys beyond kid-friendly stuff, because they don't want people shopping there. Pandemic and such.

If you have an Ollie's in your state, I suppose that's worth looking into. Not everyone does.

Fair enough. I don't know that you have Ollies in your state, but you might. I was just trying to help.

Kinda annoyed I paid full price for X-Spanse now.... but what’s done is done.

I figured Xspanse wouldn't stay full-price. Kinda bummed I didn't wait for Double Dealer, but it's alright.

I appreciate that- really, I'm just jealous that Ollie's isn't available to me , they've had some fantastic deals. Though we are getting a Five Below in my town, which is the first time they've been open in my state. I know they've had Transformers there before.

Since I already have Kingdom Wave 2 on the way/already on my shelves, I decided to get Ultimate X-Spanse as well as FINALLY own a copy of Age of Extinction. Kind of happy to finally own a Collaborative toy since despite me liking Ghostbusters and Back to the Future, I'm not as big of a fan of either franchise as a whole as I am with X-Men (and Marvel in general).

If you bought him at Target in the last month or so, they will reverse price match sometimes.

Wow, what a champ, this post made me laugh real hard

I'm assuming that was a gag and Ollies didn't really have them, right?

That's absurd. Just...absurd.

What's sad is, just for fun, I did a rough calculation to both rent a car and Drive OR FLY with roundtrip ticket to the nearest Ollies from me which is 2000 miles away (4000 round trip), and I still would end up paying about the same, perhaps a little more than the $600 Haslab price. (If it were real that is), and even then, there would be no guaranty.

But even though it was all done in fun, it does still bring to light the distribution issues and inequality that still exist.

They shouldn't. At least not this soon. Receipt or it didn't happen.

That was my thinking as well, way too soon to show up there if they ever do. I wonder how many poor bastards immediately went checking their nearest Ollies.

Little late for April Fools, ain't it?

Well, so was Unicron for many, so it sort of works.

Of course, just sharing a good laugh I had. I love the guy's pose too, he made the effort to get a cart and everything, it's all perfect.

Your right, it would be more fair if any toy not sold at primary retail for full price was destroyed like they do for other collectibles.

Did you guys ever see the video of the tons of lootcrate boxes being destroyed?

Definitely an A+ troll job.
