Well, I've bought one extra of each of the last two Titan Class figures they had at Ollie's for members here on the boards and it has been $35-$40 to ship (at cost, no markups for my collector friends!). SO! If you can get one for $80 or $90 w/free shipping, you'd be getting the same price as someone picking one up for you and sending it your way

Worth mentioning that these came from suppliers, not from TRU's left over stock, that stuff is still out there (and could still end up in places like T.J.Maxx, Ross, and other surplus/salvage stores). This is the stuff that was planned to be sent to TRU and canceled. And they didn't pay $200M for this, that's the retail value. Considering what they sell stuff for it might be closer to a quarter of the value, like $50M.

Great, let me know if they get any Leader Class Rodimus Primes for $20-$25 otherwise meh!

Thanks to an anonymous sender, we have news that Ollie's, the bargain outlet that was rumored to be getting a massive Transformers overstock for the 2018 Holiday Season, has now restocked Transformers, and they have a pretty massive selection! These pictures come to us from an Ollie's in Steubenville, Ohio, and included in their restock are The Last Knight wave 3 deluxes, including the hard to find Bumblebee figure; The Last Knight deluxe Hot Rod, which has shown up at multiple bargain stores as of late; Titans Return Leader class Sixshot, Sky Shadow, and Overlord; Titans Return Voyager Blitzwing and Octone; and Titans Return wave 3 and 4 deluxes. Not seen but mentioned was Titans Return Trypticon, which was going for that crazy $49.99 price tag as was previously reported.

Check out the images below, and head on out to your local Ollie's and let us know what you find!

I have never seen an Ollie's in my life.

Ever.

And now I live in Japan. You'd think Transformers would be just everywhere here, but absolutely not. Can be very hard to find anything "new", and old stuff is exorbitantly expensive outside of some particular Tokyo locations.

Somewhat of a sad eulogy to an iconic US toy store. Not to worry neighbors to the south. Visit Canada as Toys R Us survives here and she will continue to receive my business and thrive.

double post

Just to manage expectations, my store only had select deluxes from Waves 3 and 4. Lots of Triggerhappys, Kroks, and Quakes, but none of the animated movie characters or Topspin. I don't know if they will add stock at any point, and I may go back to see if they got any Leader class figures, which weren't in stock last week.

As always, your mileage may vary.

apparently, the only ollie's stores are in indiana and wisconsin. and there's only 5 total. anyone feel like a roadtrip?
