On a routine shopping trip to the local Costco, my wife came across a pallet of new Transformers. After she told me what it was I had her grab the exclusive two pack quick.

Thanks to her I now have the Transformers Universe Cybertron Optimus Prime and Crumplezone two pack for only $34.99 USD.

Several new Transformers have been released in Japan. Henkei Seibertron Streak (Silver Streak), Lambor (Sideswipe), and Octane. Like the previous Henkei figures, these three feature chrome painted parts. Expect online retailers to have them in stock soon.

Also of note - several Marvel Crossovers figures were released in Japan today as well: Grey Hulk, Human Torch, Black Spiderman, and Wolverine. These figures have been released directly by Hasbro and do not show any change in paint scheme or box art. So don’t expect a special Japanese repaint version.

Longtime SEIBERTRON.COM member Scaleface wants to let the community know about his latest sighting...

"I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I weas at Costco last night and they had a pallet of Supreme Rollout Animated Optimus Prime toys. They seemed to be the same toy as the regular Supreme toy, but they were packaged in large plastic tubes instead of boxes.

No bonus, no variations except the package was different. They had a price tag of $39.99, which is exactly the same price as HTS using the new FALL20 discount code, so I'm not sure who would get them. Still, they are there. I don't know if Costco is taking those $5 off Animated coupons from McDonalds, but that would push the price down to $34.99."

If this is a toy variant you are looking for you may want to go check out your local Costco, and pick this up, before he is long gone.

Thanks Scaleface!
