    I should have been more clear. When I say "set" was referring to one Pocket Titan not an entire wave of them. I was thinking of each one as an individual playset. I only found 3 Pocket Titans in total. They were $4 each.

    A few states that I didn't expect to have a DD'S DISCOUNTS actually had multiple (or had at least one until 2020). It might be worth your time to see check if a store is in your area.

    I'm actually curious if they'll show up at Ross...

    Ha! I checked to see if a store might be near a friend in Tennessee and had the same experience. There were stores in Memphis and maybe Nashville but that didn't help my friend who was 5hrs away from either location .

    Let's hope they show up at other discount stores (Ollie's, Ross , TJ Max and Winners for example).

    There's been a reported sighting of these at a store named Bargain Hunts in Tennessee!

    Thanks for the heads-up, I checked two of the DD's Discounts here in Illinois and managed to find 1. Tried a couple Ross stores without any luck, but I'll keep an eye out.

    Score! Congratulations. Only 1? They must have been selling for some time and that was the last of the shipment.

    If you have a Bargain Hunt near you that is an actual confirmed location that they were spotted in. Ross was merely a location I thought they should be seen in. Personally I'd be checking all discount outlets heh.

    I didn't even know there were any DD's Discounts in my area until I looked them up :)  No Bargain Hunts here, but I've tried Ross and Five Below, without any luck so far. I'm also going to see if I can swing by Tuesday Morning and Dollar General...

    I've never seen one anywhere not even online. Someone has 9 of them on Ebay but at $60 each.

    I'll probably never see one of these things. I didn't realize I was still following this thread.

    $60 is an insane asking price. They are cheaply made toys. They're OK if you can get them at a discount. I finally got around to putting one together over the holidays. I was not that impressed by them.

    Which is why I'm bothered that they haven't been seen at at many discount outlets. I'd fill up a storage crate with these if sold between $5 and $15. They really would have filled a niche in the toy market if sold at local big box retail stores (or Amazon...).

    Yeah, I just saw them the one time when there were reports of finding them at DD'S Discount stores. Before anyone spends $60 on ebay I would suggest getting some KO Diaclone or 3rd party 1/60 compatible sets, or even some smaller legit Diaclone sets. Much nicer designs and quality.
