Longtime SEIBERTRON.COM member Scaleface wants to let the community know about his latest sighting...

"I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I weas at Costco last night and they had a pallet of Supreme Rollout Animated Optimus Prime toys. They seemed to be the same toy as the regular Supreme toy, but they were packaged in large plastic tubes instead of boxes.

No bonus, no variations except the package was different. They had a price tag of $39.99, which is exactly the same price as HTS using the new FALL20 discount code, so I'm not sure who would get them. Still, they are there. I don't know if Costco is taking those $5 off Animated coupons from McDonalds, but that would push the price down to $34.99."


If this is a toy variant you are looking for you may want to go check out your local Costco, and pick this up, before he is long gone.

Thanks Scaleface!

It was pointed out to me there was one prior reference to this package variant here:

This includies a picture of the packaging I saw at Costco, but this sighting was as a "BJs" store. Never heard of them.

BJ's is a whole sale club, like Sam's Club or Costco.

Hasbro and Canadian retailers are taking notice. Leaders here have fallen to $49.99 CDN compared to $44.99 US in the States. Just last year Leaders here cost $69.99 CDN and Unicron in Armada from 2002 was $89.99 CDN while he is now $64.99 CDN from the Universe line in 2008. Stronger $CDN means lower prices finally through the filter down affect. Hope you will feel that too.

Same here. Since there were no real differences except for the packaging, I thought nothing of it. You figure my membership at Costco would save me 5 bucks on it but no.

Seems that Sams Club is advertising a Roll Out Optimus Prime too. Seems this special "tube" packaging is for their club exclusives, while the box goes to general stores.
