    Gotta agree with that. And I love the $3 sausage sandwich too. I grab for lunch sometimes.

    I can't believe I'm "that guy" saying "I'm glad I waited" but I was so close to buying it this past weekend when I finally saw one in TRU. It just looks so awesome.

    I am of the same mindset. I have seen him a few times at TRU but figure I would wait for either TRU's big book to see if it had deals on it, or maybe when Wal-Mart/Target got him, try to price match.

    I will definitely pick it up for $79.99 at Costco though

    Seeing as how Costco has carried exclusive Transformers in the past, I have to wonder if this will be any different from the current releases. Also, I'm wondering if the '$79.99' tag is a Black Friday special.

    Having all three in my area.....I wouldn't mind it at all. :D 

    For starting price at 30% off, they are more than likely are gonna be heavily stocked. Which is definitely a good thing.

    My guess it will be the standard Metroplex with Legends Prime, BB, Megatron, and SS.

    Even if you don't plan on picking this guy up for your collection, if you have the cash to spare and a membership this is a great way to pick one of these up on the cheap and donate to Toys for Tots.

    Likely the retail, but would love it if it was the Asia release they announced as part of the "Thrilling 30".

    Well think of it this way. With Costco selling Metroplex at this price...it will more than likely impact prices everywhere. Pretty much forcing most other retailers to start considering price drops. AND you won't have to worry about membership fees at that point. :)

    So how would someone without a Costco membership go about being able to get in and purchase one?

    Getting someone else with a Costco membership to buy it for you. I think you can also borrow their membership card, but I'm not sure if you need to have a photo ID or anything. In my experience, and this may have changed since my last visit to a Costco (circa 2006), but the only things that you can purchase sans membership are prescription drugs.

    Why would it?

    Costco doesn't usually have "versions." It's just regular retail items sold at membership prices. It's likely unchanged. They've had exclusives, but they're usually "new" things, like the Cybertron Optimus and Magnus two-pack.

    That's not how it works.

    Costco's prices are ALWAYS this low. And it never impacts other stores because you need a paid membership to shop at Costco. It's not like this will be the one item from Costco other stores start paying attention to.
