Costco Cybertron Pack
There is only one listed but there was another Costco Gift Pack for Cybertron - With Wing Saber and Optimus (not sure which version). I was made aware of this because I actually have the DVD that was included...and apparently it's so rare of a set that it's not even on Transformerland!!! How can we get this set added?

Re: Costco Cybertron Pack
Welcone Ukraineman, and thanks for your contribution! As the manager of our collector guide content, I feel I should offer an explanation for the absence of this set from our publicly-available database.
With sets that do not contain figures unique from their mass-release versions, I consider them to be "value packs" and usually have them in our database, but not publicly viewable. We do, for example, have this set in the db, and have sold four sealed samples in the price guide.
Most (not all!) collectors don't consider pack-in media or paperwork to be a unique accessory to justify an additional copy of an existing toy (i.e., would you buy this set if you already owned Optimus and Wing Saber, just to get the unique DVD?), and so by not showing those listings it makes the list of available toys in a series more digestible and less confusing. There are tons of less-official "value packs", for example the numerous times two poor-selling deluxe class toys have been taped, stickered, or shrink-wrapped together for sale as a special bundle price.
That said, I had to draw the line somewhere, and since the guides are mostly targeted at collectors who will buy one of each unique figure at most, I chose to not include them. I hope this explains my rationale, and I'd be happy to answer any more questions.
You were right, the set is rare... For the four boxed copies we've sold, we've sold 7 of the Ultra Magnus & Optimus Prime set and nearly 90 regular leader class Cybertron Optimus Primes!
