Ollie's Rumoured to get Massive Transformers Overstock for 2018 Holliday Season
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 8:30 am
May had wondered what would happen to all the toys destined for Toysrus. Well, Mrjiggy sent us a message which could give us some answers. They told us that they spoke to the manager of an Ollie's Bargain Outlet store Buffalo, NY, and this manager spoke of an e-mail briefing from corporate speaking of Hasbro overstock.
While there is no way to verify this, the e-mail is said to indicate that Ollies had made a seven figure purchase directly from Hasbro for Transformers items that were originally intended for Toysrus. These toys would be coming from both factories in China, warehouses in the US.
This would be for the 2018 holliday season and the e-mail included a guide pertaining t arranging the store to accomodate the influx of product. These could include higher priced items as well (which we have already seen with Trypticon)
The following are Mrjiggy's thoughts on this:

Basically Hasbro had been counting on toys r us to stock these items and it was too far along in production to put the breaks on a lesser production amount, not even sure if they could if they wanted to since they outsource to factories and have contracts with them saying how much they produce etc. So take it for what its worth, he has been a pretty reliable source of info for me in the past and it makes sense. We have also been seeing almost the entire run of power of the primes trickle in at a heavy discount over the past few months and ollies had stocked high end comic con exclusives from Hasbro in the past.
