RSchnell Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 The manager has no say in what's carried. Their business model doesn't work like that. If they haven't done any deals for kits, they can't sell what they don't have. Ollie's is a clearinghouse for inventory that has either been bought from defunct businesses or special deals like the Round 2 stuff that was common the past few years. 1 1
slusher Posted January 1 Posted January 1 There will end up with Big Lots stuff and the ones I have visited didn’t have models! 1

I was in my local Ollie's yesterday and they didn't have anything. It was pretty well cleaned out I reckon thanks to Christmas.
HomerS Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) Stopped by the local Ollie's looking to see what other toys they got I could grab for the grandson. They had several signs up that the toys are 33% off but models are excluded. Looks like the market materials had a better distribution than the models themselves as none of the Atlantis kits made the shelves here! Edited January 1 by HomerS
Dave Van Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Big Lots did model dumps years ago. I got the IH Payhauler 350 there years ago for $20 which at the time was just OK

Dave Van Posted January 16 Posted January 16 My Ollie's got the Atlantis Spl issue 4 kits. The 1/48 gas tanker, Native American, Space shuttle and ship. I picked up the space ship. Thx
RSchnell Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I was near Ollies yesterday morning. They had the same assortment that Dave posted above. I did manage to find a single solitary can of Duplicolor Color match, which surprised me. I hadn't seen any duplicolor there in months! 1
TarheelRick Posted February 2 Posted February 2 My local Ollie's Has the gas tanker, Indian Chief, and Cobra II, but they are marked $14.99.
slusher Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I have not checked mine since First of January i will swing by and check I have a dentist appointment..
Sledsel Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I was at Ollies and picked up a few Milk Trikes for parts.

All I can say on their bankruptcy is: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Let's just say we didn't part on friendly terms.
bandit1 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 1 of 2 local Ollie's near me had this... Had to make a hard pass on the Transit Mixer due to financial since right now 😞 (Marietta Ohio location) 2
ranma Posted February 5 Posted February 5 The only kits at our local one is the non selling Atlantis Nike Missle kit. The have a bunch of Lousy Puzzles and board games that take 90% of the shelf space on one side of the toy isle.

forthlin Posted February 6 Posted February 6 An Ollies is finally coming to Warsaw, In. this spring, about 8 miles from me in an old Big Lots building. The nearest Ollies was in Ft. Wayne, about 40 miles away, so I rarely went there.

Mark Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Only one of the AMT big rig trailers turned up to supplement the Atlantis items already on the shelf. The trailers are $24.99; the two Rat Fink trailers I bought last time around (same except for decals) were $19.99. Right now I've got a "15% off one entire purchase" coupon that came in the mail awhile back. That is good through the 16th. I'd suspect that if they get new stock in, it will hit the shelves around the 17th.

The Big Rig trailer and Rat Fink trailer are totally different kits. $24.99 is pretty close to normal price on the Big Rig trailer too.
Mark Posted February 8 Posted February 8 These were AMT trailers, not the ex-IMC piece. The box for this one used the same artwork as the Rat Fink trailer, with the trailer's side panel graphics changed.
