Titans Return Fortress Maximus for $39.99 at Ollie's Bargain Outlet

Now I'm really upset for paying full price for this last year

Why? It's a solid figure and you helped the brand by buying it at retail cost. He cost a lot more than $40 to produce so they're taking a loss sending out t the remainder of their inventory to small chains to get rid of their inventory. He cost I don't even know what an Ollies is and where the chain is located so I'm not sad I got him when he came out. I just took him off the shelf last night played around with him.


Do you even have a Ollies near you, if so go out and buy them up then sell them on eBay for $60-80 and you'll make a profit and your "loss" for buying Max a year ago.

It seems very cheap for that much plastic but it's just not in any sort of shape or form that I'd want to buy it in.

a shame that the nearest Ollie's to me is over 100 miles away

Which Ollies was this found at?

The most interesting thing I've ever found at Ollies was when they had cases after cases of Gen Roadbusters sitting around (after I'd already bought a "cheap" one online and then found it in several other stores...). Beyond that just the rts-less repacks of the legends from that line. If I had the slightest luck in finding stuff, I get over to Ollies stat, but I know I'll never have that kinda luck.

It's true! Just found a whole slew of them at my local Ollie's in Jackson, TN

Hopefully this helps anyone interested.

I had no idea there was one near me; gonna have to do a search myself fairly soon.

Those Maximuses will be insta-scalped for sure.

Damn. I'd actually buy one at that price. Sadly, it's not worth a 2 hour round trip to the nearest store.

I only bought two at my store, but you can bet there will be a lot of folks who buy them to resell. If you don't have one in your area, this would be a good time to check ebay for those who plan on buying them for quick turn around cash.

Not sure the profit is worth it. Even if you sell for 100, that's 40 COGS + 10 ebay fee + 10? shipping. Even in that ideal scenario were talking $40 profit and I didn't consider taxes, other expenses, bad buyer, etc.

If anyone wants to do me a solid. Havnt picked up a transformer for months since wife's health problems but she saw this and said if I could work it out with someone she'd be fine with it.

Besides that, what does this mean for the future of titan class figs?

As I knew, my Ollies had jack squat. No transformers at all, least of all FM. There's an hour out of my life (thanks solely to traffic, normally it'd be 15-20 mins) I'm never getting back.

Just got mine at the Kingston Ollies. Woohoo!

Just got mine at Maryville TN Ollies. They have 9 or 10 left.

No idea where I'm putting mine.

(I called before making the trip.)

For $40 I'd buy this, bad hips and all.

I'd say it's worth it just for Cerebros.

This.

Cerebros was basically the only thing that was really worth it in the set. I felt good about paying $100 for the toy, mainly for Cerebros

And hey, you got a free battle station in the deal too

I'm glad to hear people are finding these at multiple locations. I'd never even heard of this store but thanks to this article and a quick google search I now know there are three in a reasonable distance from me. I'll give them a call in the morning.

I pass by an Ollie's on the way home from work. Looks like I know where I'll be when they open at 9AM.

The closest Ollie's is 1809.23 miles from me.

And all three were cleared out Wednesday. Damnit

Not surprised. That's an unbeatable price.

You can call around to nearby Ollie's. Just provide them with the SKU# 158543 (the first six numbers of the one's under the barcode). The Maxi I found hadn't been put on the floor yet. They had 3 cases at the Randallstown Maryland store. I showed him a pic of the orange sticker from the Seibertron post and they located them easy peasy. Got one for me and one for m'boy. Happy hunting!!!

Just got off the phone with the Frederick Maryland store and they have at least 4 as of the moment.

I pick up two fortress maximum.You can't beat the price.

Wow. This is like the Metroplex super sale at Costco years ago... dammit. Didn't get to pick up Fort Max last year, and now the only place I could afford one is nowhere near me...Murphy's Law strikes again...

2 Ollie's (that I know of) in the norfolk/va beach area of VA, both just opened several cases today. Not a model I would normally buy, but for that price, I couldn't say no.

I think the Fort Max Ollies Discount deal is limited to the location(s) it was sighted in where the specific overstock is at. Not every chain seems to have it. I say that because I checked mine out today (just up in North Canton, OH) just to see what they had and there's nothing really to shake a stick at in terms of TFs or anything I was personally interested in toys wise. That said I might go back and grab some cookware because adult reasons. Somewhat disappointing on that note, but I'm probably going to keep an eye on it from here on out given the rollover of stuff they have in there.

Fort Max is... the Underbase!

I just picked up four of these! One for myself, my son and two of my friends. Amazing deal. Felt like I was stealing them. Four figures for just $10 more than the original price of one.

Even at full price, you won't regret it. He's AMAZING.
Please make the review!

Seeing all these recent sideways mages is making me go

The closest ollies to me is an hour away. I got there today and they were gone. One of the workers told me 1 person bought what they had. Theyre supposed to get more in a few days. I have to have my gf go because ill be at work. Hopefully that jerk (whoever they are) leaves one...
I cant get it otherwise. I dont have that money. The $40 i have for it is a gift for my birthday. On top of that they wont hold it for me. It's an hour away. I really hope it's there come this week...

The electronics in my Cerebros have stopped working... I've tried replacing the batteries with fresh ones and fiddling with their fit, but it's just stopped.

Ideas?

I'd pose this to the Titans Return thread (transformers-titans-return-product-reveals-news-updates-rumors-leaks-and-more--t105496s19750.php). You'll probably have better luck finding an answer over there.

Australian Transformers Fan Site Ozformers posted a photo of an upcoming product catalog from retailer BigW. The magazine shows some Transformers-related sales on toys from The Last Knight, as well as Titans Return Trypticon for $248 AU, or $188 USD! It sounds as though these sales will start on June 22nd, to coincide with the release of TLK. Here's the image of all the TF steals and deals in the catalog.

Once more via the lovely folks over at Ozformers, we have the new Toys'R'Us catalogue with summer sales on toys (the catalogue can be seen here). All the deals are included below, and also feature a Transformers: The Last Knight screening competition (via here). Check it all out below!

What the hell???!!! Where an when did the leader classes become $80 bucks? That's ridiculous

G1OPT1MU5PR1M3 wrote:What the hell???!!! Where an when did the leader classes become $80 bucks? That's ridiculous

That's in Australian dollars. While on paper they look like more, $80 still equates to under $60 here in the US. Still overpriced, but now that bad.

Oh ok, I became concerned lol. Nice gnaw picture

Thank you! Happy to help.

After the catalogue posted yesterday for Toys'R'Us Australia, fellow Seibertronian Qwan has also kindly provided images of the BigW sale for Transformers toys - if you're in the Oz market for some toys, from RID to The Last Knight, to Trypticon, now's the time to go looking. Happy hunting!

We've seen the prices for Target's and Toys R Us' toy sales in Australia, but I don't think Big W's catalog(ue) has been examined yet? I found it online and took a few shots of the Transformers page. Notably, Trypticon is down to $250 instead of the exorbitant $300, Movie Deluxes and Voyagers are down to below the average price for their Generations equivalents, and Tiny Turbo Changers are only $2.50(!). The sale apparently starts on June 22nd, so I guess it's time to start making peace with my wallet once again.

I'm excited about Trypticon but that pose honestly makes him look kinda stupid.

Yeah, it doesn't make him look very threatening does it?

HasbroToyShop is having a sale on Age of Extinction Generations Leader Class Optimus Prime with his trailer and Sideswipe. If you missed out on this awesome (and shiny!) set, now is the time to pick it up. It costs $59.99 which is $100 dollars in savings from the original price.

If you enjoy the figures from the movies, you will like these in-hand images of the new Deluxe HotRod!
