    Did they ever have them? Did you ask someone and confirm they had them but sold them all?

    Stopped by my closest store and the manager said she sold them all within an hour after stocking them in Thursday. I had called several other stores here in this area and I was told they all sold out when the shipments arrived last Thursday. Most stores didn't have a 1 per person limit so I assume some people purchases multiples. I had no luck. Every store I called was the same story. Sold out in an hour or so after receiving them.

    I also asked about them last Friday at the Westport store and got the same story SideSwipe75 did. They were in and gone in just a couple hours.

    A new Ollie's is opening in Lexington the 28th, he may pop up there. Also I don't think Richmond got theirs yet but nicholasville did as that's where I got mine

    Guy that bought them in my area has them in his booth at the local flea market for 120.00. I would have loved to have him for 40.00 but just wasn't meant to be.

    I know all the guys that sell. I sell my liquidated toys to them. Called them up. They are pretty cool guys. Ones willing to work out something with me. Hopefully we can reach an agreement.
    I buy a lot of liquidation from Walmart and Target. Bought a Combiner Wars Devastator off another guy that purchased an Amazon Pallet. He sold it to me for 10.00. Long Hauls Wheels were smashed and hooks crane was broke. Called Hasbro up, they had me send the old one back and sent a new one in place of it. Hasbro is one of the best customer service places to work with.

    I saw it at Tinseltown. Very depressing that the room was not even close to sold out. Like, maybe there were thirty people in there? I'm starting to face the possibility that this one will make dramatically less money domestically than any of the previous films.

    Likewise. Saw it at Stonybrook, and there were still plenty of seats left. Which is depressing, because I thought it was quite good.
