    I actually bought 6 Trypticons. I was at Ollie’s Thursday morning and I went back Friday morning. And no, I am not selling them back on EBay or Amazon. I bought one for myself, two for my kids, one for my best friend, and 2 per request for users on twf2005. I ended up returning those 2 Trypticon to get my cash back because the users ended up flaking out on me.

    Selling Trypticon online with how big and heavy he is - isn’t worth it to me. Nor do I want to hold on to the Trypticons for a year to wait for all the excess online Ollie’s Trypticon to clear out first.

    Damn that’s sad. What would someone do with a Trypticon head?

    I actually had work meetings in Fayetteville Thursday and Friday so I was at the Ollie’s early in the morning both days. When I was there, they only had 1 Trypticon out in front on the pallet and if you wanted more than one you had to ask for it and get a manager to get them out for you. All the Trypticons were locked up front. Guess, Ollie’s or that store knew beforehand of what would happen? Fayetteville only started to sell Trypticon Thursday morning. They got in 21 Trypticons in total.

    Smyrna Ollie's had no Trypticons today. An employee said they had 5 on Thursday, and were sold out the same day. I did pick up Slugslinger for 7.99 though. If anyone in the Sandy Springs area has an extra Trypticon at a reasonable price, please let me know.

    I was able to get Wave 2 Delxues during the initial landing but that’s all I’ve seen. No sign of Voyagers. I did see the Duocon pairs yesterday at a WM in Canton but not Tailgate which is what I want from that series.

    So I've noticed. Top Dog Pawn had wave 2 stuff, but no Moonracer. She's the only one I want from that set.

    Found the Duocons and Tailgate at Hamilton Mill Walmart. Perhaps the POTP drought is coming to an end...

    I'd trade a moonracer for any two of the wave 5 TR figures if u you've found them. FYI moonracer cost $16+tax retail so fair imho.

    What wave 5 figures are you looking for? I don't have any, but I can check out Ollie's to see what their stock looks like.

    I'll have time to check out Ollie's in Aiken Wednesday. I'll report back in. Hopefully, I can find what you're looking for... I want me a Moonracer!

    Hmm... Maybe so. But I have seen reports of people finding Wolfwire in Ollie's. Or maybe it was Weirdwolf?

    Well, there were 3 new figures and one reissue in wave 5. It's kind of a new wolfwire with a running fix for the joint the wolf head rotates on.

    Any chance you'd be willing to middle-man one of those through the post? I'd drive to get one, but it's about 3 hours away and with the gas that would cost, it wouldn't be worth the trip.
