Costco exclusive Optimus Prime

Post by Devastator »

i work at Costco and we got our exclusive Optimus Prime in today so needless to day i bought one. I already own the regular leader class which i paid $60 CAD for but this one has legends bumblebee and jazz included and costs just 37.99!!!! i bought it so i could open it and transform it and holy crap! i was determined to do it without the help of the instructions but it was not to be. its tough. wicked toy though. even as a 26 yr old who was the perfect age during G1 i have to say that beats the G1 OP into the ground

I think it's like a Sam's Club isn't it?

Yes. Costco is better though, cause Sams Club is a subsidiary of Wal-Mart.

go into costco and tell them that would like a guest pass to shop for the day because you are trying to decide if it is worth it for you. The charge 5% more on your total (or atleast they do out here) and if you are just going to get hte one thing you are good to go.
no is a complete sentence

u cant do that at our costco. you can shop as a guest of another member though for free. i cant believe you dont have a costco...they are all over the place. over 500 stores world wide. anyway, the toy is awesome and so was the deal. i was thinking of buying a couple more to sell maybe.

as far as pics go, my slot in my hard drive to insert my mem card does not work so i cannot take pics on this crappy computer. sorry about that. if you just type optimus prime in ebay and you will find a few of em on there. its the one with bumblebee and jazz included.

on another note a bought a few more things today...spending way to much. i found a 6" titanium sunstorm which im pretty proud of and i got ramjet and grimlock classics too. i have to say grimlock sucks. i dont like his transformation. ramjet is cool though. they had cliffjumper and mirage too but the wife was scowling at me by this point for being dragged around toystores. i also bought a few of the little hero sets

Actually Sams club and Walmart are no longer owned by the same people/group. they just keep the image up.

And I don't have a cosco near me either Dev. Although I have heard of them.
