For those who in the UK who didn't want to pay the high price for Roll-Out Command Optimus Prime, there may be hope!
User kyrotek over at TransFormersAtTheMoon reported that,
"Roll-Out Command Optimus Prime from the Animated range of toys is now to be found in Tescos who still carry left over stock priced at only £14.45! I spotted and claimed mine last thing Wednesday night from Burseldon store in Southampton."

Wow even i would be tempted by that price. Shame my local tesco doesn't have toys.

This has been on sale in Singapore for the equivalent of £12.65 for some time now. Same for the Leader class stuff.

The question is, are they any good though?

They look a bit rubbish, anyone know for sure?

My local Tesco had a few deluxe figures and a couple of Voyagers a few weeks back but not they just have some Robot Replica items and I dont think their prices are anything to shout about. I would expect prices lower than Play.com from them.

Yeah, in Frankfurt there's this Dutch brand "Intertoys" toy shop. They had it at 20€ from their opening day two weeks ago.

Er, no not really. Completely oversized, ridiculously simple transformation and a complete lack of posability. The gimmicks make it fun for the kids, but I get the feeling this one was never really meant for collectors.

That said though I've always thought that this mould would look bad ass in Nemesis colours so I might, just might, pick up a second one to introduce to Mr Paintbrush if I see it that cheap.
