    Still not sure about Predaking as a certainty. But since a lot of the units probably stayed with online retailers and not brick and mortar stores (like Trypticon at TRU) I’m not sure where Ollie’s would get their stock from. I’m hopeful though for the people that don’t have him, he’s a great set

    Depends if distributors/Hasbro had any left. Ollie's buys from anywhere. I'd say there is about a 40% chance we see some.

    Target on Beechmont Ave has the latest wave of Studio Series deluxes (minus the WWII Bee).

    I've considering picking him up on Amazon and then buy the DNA kit to add that extra Predaking awesomeness!! Watched a lot of reviews on Predaking and that DNA kit and very impressed 1000% with the kit added.

    Still haven’t bit on DNA yet, waiting to see if Perfect Effect comes up with anything.

    Personally, I don't think PE will come out with anything. They're normally on the ball way before the item is available or comes out about the same time. Example is Terrorcons (Abominus) the Hands, Feets and Gun set was out about the time all figures was released.

    I like the DNA kit because they have new shoulder clips to improve the standard hasbro version. Plus this will help hold the massive sword from DNA comes with. Gotta love the new wings for Divebomb and the overall look for Predaking as well. There's a lot more and Chefatron has a really good review on the entire kit.

    I also have the DNA-06 for SS Megatron waiting to be shipped when Stepper comes in this month....hopefully

    Target in West Chester had an online return of a Clash on Junk set with Hot Rod, Junkheap and Wreck-Gar for some reason. 52 bucks. Looked fine, sealed, and just a little dinged up box wise. On the bottom shelf of the clearance end cap in toys.

    I'm not near Sandusky, but as im sure you've done in Michigan, try the usuals, Meijer, Walmart, Target. Northern Ohio sometimes gets stuff quicker than us southerners.

    I'm sure the ones that are up closer to there will be of more help than I.

    I just stopped in to the Kroger in Englewood, and all the SS Deluxes are $7.50 up here. Crazy! And all they have is the new wave! I'm grabbing WWII Bee for that price!

    Went to Kroger Market Place in Centerville and in in Sugarcreek and no SS figures there last night. Was hoping to find WWII Bee for that price.

    I didn't even know Kroger sold transformers. Only thing I ever saw at my local Kroger was some BB Energon Ignitors (or whatever the little BB movie figures are called) for like $5. You all must shop at some big Krogers in big cities. My little rural Kroger is nothing more than a grocery store.

    Those are crazy prices. I don’t have a Kroger here in Cleveland. I am jealous.

    I long for the days of reasonably sized Kroger stores...not many toys, but, you didn't have to hike 2 miles in the store to get everything you need.
