Looking for Xtransbots Ollie (aka G1 Wheelie)

[smoothyg35]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to find this little guy but can't seem to source him out anywhere online.

Though there is the two pack of Ollie and Sonic on several sites:

http://www.acetoy.net/xtransbots-mmi...2-p-49115.html

http://www.tf-toy.com/pre-order-xtra...t-p-12058.html

I am really not wanting to have to pay $150+ just to get this little guy; what with shipping and the US exchange rate.

If anyone one of you guys can help, that would be greatly appreciated

Can I just suggest waiting for the Titan's Returns Legends version? I mean, if you really want Ollie, good luck, but I HEAR he is terrible and falls apart...but don't take my word for it, it is heresay.

Yea - was thinking about picking up the Titan Return's figure when it comes out but unfortunately it doesn't scale with MP figures.

I also heard about his issues with falling apart, loose joints, stress marks, but I would just keep him in robot mode in a display case.

I guess he's just aesthetically pleasing to look at like Daca Toys Kronos aka G1 Skyfire / Jetfire.

Do not order from acetoy or tf toy.
I had nightmare experience with them. Ordered a misb ko scorponok and wheeljack and all he sent me was a used scorponok incomplete. I eventually got visa to get the funds back but I'm out return shipping.

Don't order from those sites they will screw you up big time. I ordered a KO Prime from the acetoy site took 5 months to get and paid a small fortune for shipping. Another bad site is kotoys.net avoid them too I ordered a ko scorponok and never got it. I have an Ollie but he is not for sale. He is a great little figure I have no problems with mine. The only issue with him is his legs are loose but that is due to his transformation.

smoothyg35, I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya'. If I see him anywhere, I'll let you know. Mrluthor, I say lucky you if no issues. Maybe you managed to snag a great copy, like my Brawl, he doesn't have the loose, floppy waust issue. Yay for lucky breaks,lol.

Same for me. I've heard a lot of negative comments about Ollie, but besides the loose legs I haven't had any problems and it still looks great next to Magnus and Rodimus.

Sometimes I wonder if perception of a figure gets distorted based on the people that have a bad experience vs. those that don't. We have a tendency to voice our displeasure much more than our positive/neutral experiences.

Get the die-cast version instead, it's cheaper, sturdier, nicer, and it can pull off both the toy and cartoon robot modes.

Thanks for the heads up .... I was pretty sketch with when I emailed them for info. It's like they can barely speak English let alone understand what I was trying to ask !!
