    Right on!
    My MISB copy of Optimal Optimus was $8.99 on etoys.com some time after Christmas 1998.

    Similarly, didn’t a lot of us find Unicron for like $12.99 at Target in early 2004? I ended up with a double some how.

    Hell yes. I had at least 4 Unicrons back then...lol... Every time I went in they still had them on the shelf...I bought one each time. I think I paid $15 apiece, though.

    No Trpticon's at the Auburn NY Ollies.

    However they did have a wave of Titan's Return Deluxes. Lot's of Twinfernos, Triggerhappys, Kroks, and Quakes. Picked up Krok and Quake as a consolation prize.

    I'll have to keep checking back, see if anything else interesting comes in.

    You see? This is just a ploy Ollie’s is using to get us to buy up all those deluxes...I walked out with a Triggerhappy and a Krok myself...

    To be fair Triggerhappy is probably one of the top three deluxes in the last five years. I was kinda hoping to find Missfire and Slugslinger, but sadly nope.

    Also Zootopia had a toyline. Nobody seems to have wanted it.

    It would seem newer stores in the southern region have some but unsure numbers, the warehouse for northern states didn’t get any yet but it’s about that time when they should show up, fort max showed up around May last year didn’t he?

    I found no Trypticons of any price but I did all right:

    And the price was quite reasonable.

    So to recap, so far we have one guy that found them for $13 and another guy that found them for $50. Yet, no one has taken a picture of them in the the store in a big display like we had with Fort Max.

    I had a conversation with the local Ollies manager yesterday, and he told me that they had them in over a month ago and someone came and cleared them all out. He said that it hit the internet and they were gone in one day. Now, I find that hard to believe that a month ago these were on sale in Oliies and no one heard about them even coming to Ollies until last week, so I am thinking that he probably is misremembering or just messing with me.
