Here’s something cool for you now – the Dark of the Moon Dinobot Mini-Cons, which were a Big Bad Toy Store shared exclusive, have appeared at US retail. 2005 Boards member DecepticonSpike found Rav and Dualor at an Ollies store in Ohio. Be sure to start checking out Ollies (or their sister chains) for these two and the other two in the assortment, Catilla and Triceradon.

Got all four from a local Ollies. They had a whole case of them out, and a few were already purchased.
Went to another Ollies later on, and they had two cases, one of which was half gone.
The girl at the checkout said that their Transformers are really flying off the shelves lately.

Saw these the other day at the Ollies by me. Didnt have any cash to buy em though.
Stellerwolf
Was just thinking that.

Found them Last night at Ollies in New Castle PA right over the Ohio state line, only had afew, None at my local Ollies in Niles Ohio, both stores did also have the RTS Legends Prime, Star Scream, Gold Bug, nither has any of the Megatrons since I bought them all out at both stores.
The Dinobots are really cool, they did have 1-2 of the cat but meh, have the orange tiger form of it.

Hrm, I could probably swing $3 but $4 for a single Minicon seems pretty obscene.
Solo Minicons are always rough for me, they never seem worth the price/cost ratio, even though I like them.
Might get Dualor regardless, I need to replace my Terrorsaur (his dino arm snapped off. Plus I don't care for the original color).
EmperorDinobot
Not a fan of classics minicons, but being Emperor Dinobot, and a minicon collector, these will be bought on sight.

If only there were a Mastodon Mini-Con, we'd have the five Power Ranger Zords.
DecepticonSpike
Mine fell apart while opening him. Easy fix, but, it doesn't help Hasbro's QC record as of late.
I do post there. It just slipped my mind this time.

DecepticonSpike –
Why didn't you post this in the Ohio Sightings thread as well? We got a lot of people helping each other out in that thread – you should post there sometime and help some fellow collectors out.

Bought these from bbts.com when they first came out. Was very disappointed with the quality. Look ok in dinosaur form, but soo flimsy and fall apart too easily.
Kaijumaster
defintly the sort of TF I'd buy if I saw, but I'd never go hunting for it.
DecepticonSpike
Not that I know of. I did a search, and could not find anything.

If these show up at Big Lots, I'm all over 'em.

I've been all over this country on business and never heard of Ollies b4, but at least I have a Big Lots around here, hope to find these little guys, my nephew would love them, maybe me too!!
UPDATE: I went to BLots today and didn't find anything DOTM, but I found Generations Backstop, Undermine and Wrecklose. Also they had some mini-cons but I didn't really pay attention to what series.
Triceratron
Dang. Here I was getting tired of waiting for a store release and went ahead and ordered these off of Entertainment Earth. At least their price was a little lower than BBTS.

I must have them all! What are some sister chains of this store?
