Now this price may not surprise many people, seeing as how we have had sightings of Trypticon at Ollies for as low as $12 in the past month or 2, but this is the first time it is being advertised, and it must be a big deal if it made Ollies catalog. The original price for this figure was $149.99 (instead of the advertised $139.99, which was a price found on later, price lowered units), so this is a $100 savings if you can find the figure! The sale is listed as officially starting tomorrow.
Ready to hunt down the giant Decepticon kaiju? Good luck hunting, and let us know if you find 1 or many more in the comments section below as well as in our Toy Haul Thread!

Yeah, I don't have a Ross in the state, but I've seen a few people post about this in the forums. I guess I just assumed they'd already been in the news.
Don't bother checking TJMaxx, they're full priced there.

I'm surprised to hear that. I don't think I've ever seen "full priced" Transformers at Marshall's or TJ Maxx before.
They botched the original price, saying it was $20-something so they only marked it down to $16.99 or so. I had posted a photo of the price tag, but can't find it, it's on the forum somewhere. Others have found the same thing so it's a chain-wide issue.
Emerje
Went back Wednesday to get another shot of the price tag on Triggerhappy showing $16.99 based on an original $22! Still a dollar cheaper than Walgreens...
They also had a random Voyager Optimus Prime in a mangled box for an excellent $12.99. Sure, that makes sense. Passed since I already have two.

That just occurred to me last night. Perhaps the reason why these have sold so inexpensively is that these are the initial "bad batch" (Hip spring too big, warped green plastic door etc...), has anyone opened and played with any of these (even the previous $20 ones), to confirm? For what its worth, My Trypticon was purchased at a local TRU back in September (never saw it on the shelf, just happened to look behind the customer service desk and had to swindle it from the clerk), and it has no problems. So I don't think any of us knows the timeframe of when the fix exactly occurred, or how many defective ones were manufactured.

What's Crackin'? wrote:My brother REALLY wanted this guy, so maybe I'll get it for him for his birthday. Is it a good figure though?
Yeah, he's pretty good! It's possible he'll have some problems with the hips - earlier production runs needed slight modification or they'd literally tear themselves apart - but if you think that slight disassembly and squeezing of springs (to weaken them a bit) is doable, he's absolutely worth this price.
If you do go for it, check around! We have a couple articles on this very site that run through various methods of preemptively fixing the toy's problems. (The very first guide was actually mine, but it involved actually cutting things up, which didn't end up being necessary in the end )

The sale focuses on the deluxes and the leader for both Power of the Primes and Studio Series, with both lines featuring a $5 and $20 price drop for the sale for the above size classes, respectively. Also available on the sale and sort of out of left field comes a sale on the Transformers: The Last Knight Rumble Bumblebee remote controlled figure, which will be marked down $10.

I think that was probably the "Ollie-Days" sale that only ran the last week of June. I bought 2 Overlords on Sunday, and the only discount was my 10% off coupon.
That was the Farmington Ollie's, which also had two Octones for $12.99. Haven't checked Westland in a few days, but since Trypticons also only showed up at the former, and neither had that last wave of deluxes, I wouldn't be surprised if they had none.
So a warning to anyone counting on finding PotPredaking for $50.00 at Ollie's next year: The store is not reliable! Fun, yes. But never bank on finding any particular toy there.

Make friends in Ohio that will pick one up and ship it to you. That's what I did since I never saw him in stores and I already got the LG. I did not want to overpay for him.
This weekend I get to see face-pecs!

Yes Sabrblade, on this site and instagram - I posted it to the general discussion after I didn't get a reply. I even added my findings to the sightings section. It's all good, I'm used to it. I don't rate. My Ollie's has a lot more than Overlord.

Ah man, sorry we missed you! We're only human just like the rest of you (at least, I'm pretty sure most of us are. I have my suspicions about Va'al and his insane news-posting rate), and we do miss posts sometimes . If you want to let us know about news, feel free to shoot an email to news(at)seibertron.com to make sure it doesn't slip past us!
Glad for everyone who's getting a chance to pick up Overlord, Octone and Trypticon for low prices recently. I'm very fond of all of them, even at full price, so I hope those picking them up for cheap enjoy them now!

Like I said it's a good. I'm moving on anyway. I already asked Cyber Bishop to delete my account and all of my custom posts. Thanks, I'm glad everyone is getting Overlord at a good price.

EDIT: The person who I followed the tip on was Broadside27, so big thanks to him! Also, I got the Ollie Days discount at 15 percent off all purchases, so I wound up paying about 40 bucks for what would have been 48 or so after taxes.
