In what has to be one of the oddest deal finds in quite a while, the old GDO Powerdive figure has been spotted turning up at 99 Cents Only stores in the US. The chain is pretty well populated around southern California and a few other parts of the US southwest, but sadly isn't nationwide. Evidently, someone's warehouse someplace still had a surprising quantity of these figures sitting around which have now been offloaded at a sharply reduced price.
For those who are a bit newer to our program, GDO (or, "Generations Done Overseas") was a series of exclusive Transformers redecos developed in 2012 for Hasbro's Asian market regions. After some consternation by American collectors about potential difficulty in obtaining them, Toys R Us would ultimately take on exclusive distribution for the lineup in the US. Powerdive is a redeco of Highbrow from the post-revenge of The Fallen movie toyline - though like most of the GDO releases, it features a new headsculpt.
The first sighting of Powerdive at 99 Cents Only comes from M Sipher on Twitter, and a few more reports have popped up as well, so this doesn't appear to be an isolated oddity. Ransack is priced at $4.99. So far none of the other toys produced as part of the GDO series have been spotted, but it feels like we can hardly rule out the possibility.
