Costco Exclusive Leader Class Optimus Prime

Postby arvydas » Mon Oct 08, 2007 8:38 pm

Has anyone seen these in any local Costcos?

Does anyone know whether this version of the Leader Prime (with "free" Legends Jazz & Bumblebee) will be readily available in the future?

Or is this version of Leader Prime already extinct?

My local Costco replaced the Primes with Ultimate Bumblebees.

Are you talking about this?

If so similar to Ultimate Bumblebee, I prefer the original box. This round cylinder thing doesn't work with all figures. On BB Unleashed it's beautiful; on BB Ultimate makes him look like a pickled toad. Neutral on Prime, but add in those two legends figures and it's just too busy and unaesthetic for my taste.

the tube packaging one ult BB is ridiculously huge.... it looks like youre buying a TF coffee maker.

Does that mean that since Costco is coming out with the Ultimate Bumblebees that the Leader Primes (with the 2 free legends) are gone?

Has anyone seen Leader Prime at Costco lately?

Never seen it at my Costco. Then again, stuff sells rather quick at Costco's and they don't usually restock all that fast. I wanted to get a 10 Megapixel camera package deal thing, and when I came back 2 days later, they were all gone. And they had tons of them.

I still don't understand the fascination of Ultimate BB. I know, he's big, has flashy lights and sounds, but he's clunky. He is a b*tch to transform, and has no interior no thanks to the electronics and batteries that take up that space.

But then, to each their own. Folks love him, so okay.

Optimus' container is "Costco Worthy" in its size, isn't it? :grin:
