I found one there last night and can confirm at that price. I'm usually only interested in MP's, but even I couldn't pass it up.
The red Ollie's price tag is there on the upper right hand corner of the box. Don't know how they do it, but they're able to get awesome closeout deals and pass along the savings. A lot of people (myself included) have been getting dirt cheap DC Comics books on closeout from them for the past few months. Good luck to all on the hunt!
For what it's worth, the cashier said she hadn't seen them before and figured they had just got them in. This was at the Callaway, FL Ollie's btw. Perhaps the price/tag was intended for another Transformer, but it does show up as one on the receipt.

While this may sound unbelievable, the person who found it has given photo evidence, along with the product number and receipt in case you want to check out if your local Ollie's has one. For those unaware, this retail chain, named Ollie's Bargain Outlet, sells surplus from other places and is a dumping ground for bankruptcy sales and closeout of other retailers and manufacturers (this might be a dumping ground for Toysrus). Trypticon was found at a store in Florida by Animal Mother, a toy colelctor who posted the finding on the TFW2005 boards. The digits above the bar code are 316 D8 and he item number is 157342. This is by far the lowest a titan class figure has been acquired at retail, beating out that Fort Max at Ross deal from last year.I found one there last night and can confirm at that price.

Regardless, I hope plenty more folks get to buy a Trypticon that may not have been able to before, even if it turns out to be $40 like Fort Max was.
Also, why does the price tag move from shot to shot
Edit, yet more weirdness: when did they change their price tags to be a lighter orange with rounded corners? Maybe they did, but the other items in the background have the bright neon orange ones with squared corners. I do want this to be real but my BS detector is going off like Brainstorm's Early Early Warning device on this one.

Wish I had jumped on the Fort Max deal. I'm looking for one now.

I called the Ollie's in Maryville and Knoxville. No luck. Inventory person didn't have to look because apparently I was not the first person to call, and they knew there weren't any on last night's truck.

How much are they priced at? Might get some duplicates for customizing if they're super cheap.

$8, about half of what you'd find them at. Had about 2 boxes of them IIRC.

You misunderstood. I have no issue with the news. I was lazy so didn't quote it, but someone here was speculating it could be a price error or fake. As you probably know, there are pages of TFW users attacking the guy that posted the deal. All this debating on if it was real or not. Was just hoping that wouldn't happen here as well.

The good news is the closest store (i.e. the western most location) is in Hot Springs AR, just about 1600 miles away for those of us in California lol....I calculated the cost in gas to drive would be $300-$400, so I'd have to get 4 or 5 to make the trip worth it. I hope someone responds to you, that's a heck of a deal, but still there's still plenty of Trypticons from online retailers, but who knows, maybe collectors will purchase these, sell them for cheap on eBay, and still make a profit.

Saturday, the Westland MI Ollie's had that price too, but every case was the Triggerhappy/Twinferno/Krok/Quake case that's still shelfwarming at Meijer clearance for $10.60.AlphaBass wrote:Caelus wrote:Wrong button.

A one-off pricing snafu got me a Quantum Leap complete series box set for <$2 at my other Ollie's last month, so it wouldn't surprise me if this never happens again.

It could have been me, I called all 3 of them (knoxville/maryville/sevierville) as soon as they opened on sunday morning. Hopefully we get some around here soon.

Last year when Fort max showed up there, I called and a guy was snatching up ALL of them as I called, he let them hold one for me. the primes smiled upon me that day.
I was hoping to snag three - two for gifts and one for a custom - but if I find them maybe I should offer them up to Knox area Seibertron members first? Cost + a reasonable finders fee?

Cool. That's 3 of us then. Like I told MangaMike, I'm going to hit the Maryville Ollies on Thursday. If they have Trypticon, and he's $20 or less. I'll snag two extra, and we can meet up at some point.
Have you been to Token in West Knox/Farragut yet? It's like a bar & grill for geeks.

Fans: Where's Cogman? He's the best figure in the Line.

Well of course he has integration with TR/Generations (a much better toyline), pretty much the ONLY reason anyone wants him. , I admit, that's the only reason why I'd buy one, if I ever saw one in the store. Paying $40-$50 online for a $15 dollar deluxe though...nope, not doing that.

Just did, thanks.Emerje wrote:You can get Cogman from a seller on Amazon for under $30 right now. That's about what I paid after shipping to import the Takara Tomy version. It's annoying, but that's the only option Hasbro left Americans with so it's best to jump on the lowest prices when they show up.

Looks like they're leaking out. I'll check my Ollie's again, and if I find a few, I won't sell them for $75 + ship.

On one hand, this is very good, practical, and intelligent business practice.
On the other hand, fuck this guy.
