After constantly striking out at my local Ollie’s, I went to an out-of-the-way Ollie’s and hit the mother load:

Super-Adaptoid ($19.99)

Thor/Destroyer ($19.99)

Joe Fix-it Hulk ($19.99)

Bucky Cap ($9.99)

FA Iron Man ($9.99)

Ultron from Cassie BAF wave ($9.99)

I left alone the Doom/Captain Marvel packs since I found one at Target on clearance several months back. They also had several of the Spider-Man Across the Multiverse retro-carded Spot.

@enigmaticclarity I do not. I mean the single pack version that has been hitting Ollie’s for $10.

My brother was just texting me from Ollie's what he was seeing.  I got Silver Age Iron Man and Tarantula.  I passed on Super Adaptoid for now.  Maybe I'll get one later if he hangs around. He said they had Tala Durith.  I had to Google that one.  I asked him about Hulk/Bruce, but he went silent, so I assume that was a no.

Just picked up a bunch of stuff that Amazon (Luke and Danny, Ghost Rider Ketch, the Spidey/Wolverine F4 two pack, though I think I got that one through Pulse?) had pushed back through Gamestop with their buy one get 40% off thing. I'm always a little distrusting of Gamestop so I'm hesitant to cancel my Ghost Rider until he ships since he's sold out on Amazon but almost everything I was able to get from them for Legends, Star Wars, and Joes were in stock elsewhere if the order falls through.

My brother made a second trip to the same Ollie's today.

Morning- Tarantula, Silver Age Iron Man

Afternoon- Joe Fixit, Thor/Destroyer, Rose, Spider woman

He said they had Hawkeye, but didn't buy one because he  knew I had it (paid full price).

After opening everything, I feel I may have under rated Thor/Destroyer.  They were one of the sets I could've bought from Target's clearance

When you pre-order multiple items through Gamestop how do they handle shipping?  Do they ship one-by-one, and if so do they charge you separate shipping costs for each individual package they ship, or is it one shipping price and then they may or may not choose to ship the items in multiple packages?

Could someone explain Ollie's stocking to me? I'm wondering if it is worth continuing to check my local store for the Hawkeye and Thor/Destroyer figures. Could these figures show up at the store, or have I missed my window of when they were likely to be stocked? I went last night for the first time in several months and saw Super Adaptoid and several figures from the Cassie Lang wave. Since it's tough for me to make it out to the store, I really don't want to make any trips if they are unlikely to be successful. I appreciate any info or advice folks can share. Thanks!

@bills-all-day I have heard they keep adding to it, but I'm not sure.  Make sure you check the WHOLE store.  I went in nearly daily for the past week and checked the toy department and the big metal tables up front where I've seen toys when they get big buyout deals.  Nothing there and I left disappointed each time, cursing the very existence of Ollie's and social media for getting my hopes up.

Yesterday I went in and saw a lone Thor/Destroyer two pack on the normal toy aisle and I thought it weird that that was all they had.  My Ollie's usually gets a ton and sits on a lot of it for a while.  There are always remnants.  I ventured to the back of the store and found a big table full of them sitting in the aisle next to the rug display tables.  They had been there for a while because a lot of the cases were nearly empty.  Kicking myself now because I really want a displacer beast but they didn't have any.

@enigmaticclarity In the past it's just the one shipping charge and then they ship it in whatever configuration they feel like. I actually ordered like eight figures in stock and they're all getting shipped individually. Makes no sense, but that seems to be how all the retailers who carry action figures do it these days.

Gamestop really came through on getting a lot of stuff in early and all during this sale. Rebought tons of Joe and Marvel stuff I had on preorder at basically 20% off and it’s pretty much all been shipped. Just missed out on Cage/Iron Fist randomly popping in and out. 

They’ve been really reliable to order from even though their site sucks and their stores around me barely ever stock figures.

Woot.com has the Peter B Parker figure on sale for $20. This seems to be the Sentinel Toys version, though the pricing makes me wonder if it’s a knockoff like Amazon seems to be flooded with. No mention of manufacturer, but it would be weird for an official Amazon company to be selling knockoffs.

Prime Day deals have some common Marvel Legends clearance items marked down slightly further but nothing to write home about.

Picked up the Spidey 5 pack for 55 for fodder

Moondragon/Drax for 32 isn't bad either for a 2 pack with a BAF

WWE Ultimate Charlotte Flair greatest hits rerelease - 22.99

Several pretty new GI Joe Classifieds down to 19.99

McFarlane Bizarro/Batzarro 28.50
