    The main Ollies DC and HQ are in central PA (York and Harrisburg respectively) where the chain originated. The Hasbro Pulse warehouse is also located in central PA (Jonestown), approximately 50-60 miles away from the DC. This close proximity makes it possible for Hasbro to transfer the product to them with fewer losses than other outlets due to lower expenditure on transportation. This also explains why stores in this region are getting the Leaders but others in the south are not.

    That makes me curious about the Ollie's distribution. I'm just five hours to the west of that area and nothing makes its way here.

    At this point it's the new "the dog ate my homework." Pretty soon it'll work its way backwards and scientists will say it's what made Bill Buckner miss that grounder in game 6, sunk the Titanic, and killed the dinosaurs.

    While not recently, when I went to Ross in October of last year, they had a Siege Ultra Magnus and some Cyberverse ultra class figures. I got the magnus, and a cyberverse prime. Still kicking myself for not alsogetting the grimlock and slipstream figures, as I haven’t seen any cyberverse at Ross again.

    The leaders have already disappeared from my local Ollie's. I think someone local has started business as a reseller. Probably why the Mega Construx Trap Jaws disappeared but I had no problem getting the other skull sets.

    I'll wait for a Trap Jaw that is the right color anyway.

    I’m in South GA. The 2 Ollie’s here only had dozens of Netflix Ultra Magnus. I’ve been to both stores many times in last 6 weeks. There been many reports of the Ollie’s in north Ga getting the earth rise leader figures. I went to one tonight on my way to a friends house and that Ollie’s had 1 Earth rise Optimus prime for $9.99 ! I bought one last year at target and with tax it was $53.49 dollars for $10.69 with tax, I couldn’t refuse and will give it to my son. I’ve been lookout for Double Dealer.

    I enjoy the comic variants and want the included improved turret gun for Castle Grayskull.

    Found Trap Jaw today if you want to trade for him. If not, thanks for reminding me of the Grayskull turret! Oddly, the only skull on the shelf was a single Trap Jaw.

    Well, I take back everything bad I ever said about Ollie's! They came through where Ross let me down!

    I’ve been going to my local Ollie’s at least once a week and one 20 minutes away here and there for the last 6 weeks, mostly looking for 2 Double Dealer. I also wouldn’t mind another Siege Astrotrain. Nothing. Merely dozens of Netflix Ultra Magnus. No luck. I’ve given up last week.

    I had to go grocery shopping tonight for my kids and solely because of your post and picture I did a small detour and stopped by my local Ollie’s. They had 2 Double Dealer!!!!! Nothing else though. Plus, they mis-priced them for $9.99 each instead of $19.99. Score!!! And the Walmart next to them had Core class Megatron and kingdom Ultra Magnus too, which were the last 2 figures I needed. I’m finished with all the figures currently out for kingdom wave 1 and 2 and the Netflix series. I’m so happy

    I've seen them at Ross before. I almost feel embarrassed even going into Marshall's and asking where the toys are...and finding nothing but preschool toys.

    After I paid for the Leaders, I was about to leave and I remembered someone on here said they got some at Ollie's so I turned and immediately saw a large candy display right at the very front of the store.
    I only really wanted to make sure I got a Grimlock. I have opened one so far...BOOM! Grimlock. :)

    Since we're talking about Mega Construx MOTU, has anyone spotted the early waves of minifigs still floating around? I missed out on some like Prince Adam, Moss Man, Man-at-Arms etc.
    Would love to get ahold of them but I can't find them at local retail. Hoping some may show up at the discount stores...
    ...that and always hopeful that Greyskull will show up there like the Destiny 2 dropship did...

    I guess there is no Transformers Easter hunt at Ross this year since i haven't heard anything about it here. That sucks last year all I found at Ross was Siege Springer and Siege Barricade and nothing else. I have found no Transformers at Ross this year so far. I wanted a second Siege Astrotrain but never saw him at Ross.

    Yeah.... It's pretty frustrating.
