    I'll be honest. It may well be that Ross has been getting TF toys continuously for a while now, but because they've nearly all been movie-line recently, I've buzzed right past them and haven't noticed.

    How are these Trypticons showing up at Ross now? Where is the overstock coming from?

    My guess is that hasbro saw that people's trypticons were breaking and hasbro made fixed ones and nobody wanted them and it was around the time tru was closing

    Or...Hasbro just overproduced trypticon comparatively to the other Titans, expecting greater demand...and when that demand wasn’t met, retailers dropped the price significantly.

    This is why you NEVER EVER order $100+ toys from a distributor.

    Metroplex was supposedly super cheap at Costco. I passed on ordering him because my distributor's volume pricing was over retail. When they bumped prices up to $150, the deal they offered was slightly better but they refused to provide a shipping estimate. Thank God I passed, especially on Trypticon.

    Honestly, I'm shocked that independent shops still order Titans. I'm kind of a rare bird paying the asking price for them. They've got to know half of what they order will have to drop to at least half off.

    just went to a few 5 belows, no star wars tanks unfortunately but did see a few black series. seems like they got jiana solo wave but only snoke and the other one were there no jianas. looks lije Burlington is the place to be. they got all the cool stuff like bumblebee helmets 20ea and 2 packs 18ea. star wars black series restock 5ea, pilot helmet 20 and kylo ren light saber for 80. ross had a few potp/titans legends figures but that's about it. all trypticons seem to be long gone
