Has anyone seen the new G1 OP remake figure, and how much it

I was in a Wal-Mart this morning for my job as they were unloading some toys. I routed through them as I always do (the staff back there lets me, know I won't steal nothing) and came across a huge box from Hasbro. I popped it open and it contained a ton of the Universe line figures I have not seen before. They remade Genertaion 1 Optimus Prime down the last detail, roller, the collapsable trailer, EVERYTHING! (Ok, the only difference is the trailer is a little brighter than before)

I was like a bull in a China shop when I grabbed it! I have seen nothing on-line for this or anything! When I asked the reciever for a price check I put it back down. it was Seventy FRIGGING dollars! Seventy bucks at a Wal-Mart! Unacceptable!

I love the Universe-Classics line and have about half of them on my desk, but seventy dollars? Damn Hasbro, that's harsh! Looks like I have to put more money aside and not get my home's oil heater filled up this week.

I saw one too at my Walmart but I remembered the review Seibertron himself gave about how disappointing this figure was. I don't have the link handy, sorry.

I looked at him and just didn't want him.

Here's a link to Seib's review of 25th Prime:

His disappointment says it all.
