    That sucks, I sent my mom over to that store to check. My nephew has wanted Max since he saw him at a TRU last year. I don't personally need another Max, damn things are too big. :p

    I brought the box in and it's bigger than my dog! I have no idea where this big ol dude is going to go, but it should be fun to paint him up :D 

    Now Trypticon will have someone to fight (when I eventually order / find him).

    Anyone checked the Ollie's in Lansing on Battle Creek yet? I was going to swing by them tomorrow on my day off if no one has.

    How much do you guys think Fort Max will be in a few year?

    For various reasons, I have a few Metroplexes from when Costco was selling them for $45. I'm seeing them now go for over $300 on the 'Bay and rising. If Fort Max does the same thing, for $40, it could be a good investment if you have the space to store him.

    Ah, well. Thanks for the heads up. Probably won't go back to check again. If in 2 hours time another 6 sold what's the point in thinking more were in back to be put out tomorrow. My nephew would have loved to have this, but I just got him $90 worth of other Titans guys to play with last time he was here. That should suffice. ;)

    So I just tried to get a Fort Max at Ollie's in Taylor for my brother, and the guy told me they sold out that people were buying them 2 and 3 at a time, if their buying for other people that's understandable, if their buying for scalping then I hate motherfucker's like that, I hope I never encounter someone doing that because I have 0 patience for greedy fucks, I'll just TKO you on the spot and walk away.

    Sorry for the late post on this, but the West Lansing Meijer had Repugnus and Shuffler come in. I picked them up Thursday night. It looks like voyagers restocked at all the Targets in the Lansing area, but they were all 2017 wave 2 (Broadside). :(  I think we may have better luck buying Blitzwing and Octone online over the next couple of months.

    Well if you see me don't hit me. I am looking to pick up a couple to sell in my shop. At $40 each charging $80-$100 isn't all that bad. I sell to pay my bills and take care of my special needs sister. There is a very fine line between scalping and selling to make ends meet.

    My parents live near the Ollies on Hall Road, they stopped in today and texted me that they didn't have any Transformers at all, let alone Fort Max.

    I would've enjoyed getting one at that price, but I don't need it, so I'm fine with letting this get past me.

    Checked Ollie's in Saginaw and there was nothing. Someone on a fb group mentioned picking one up in Flint...couldn't get them to pick up an extra for me, though :(  oh well...never did get hold of the MP Grimlock either at Ollie's either.
