For anybody who missed them, Big Bad Toy Store has pre-orders up for Mr. Opt. P., aka G1 Optimus Prime with No Trailer, formerly a Walmart exclusive:

You see, I call him Mr. Opt. P. because it's a short version of his real name, and this is a short version of the real toy. It's funny. Laugh, damn you.
They're supposed to ship in July 2022 and it sells for a whopping $57.99, even more than Walmart sold it for. I own a Mr. Opt. P. and it's not worth sixty dollars. You can get a Chinese knockoff for that much, and it actually comes with a trailer.
They also have a listing for Kingdom Leader-class T-Wrecks, who was formerly a Target exclusive:

T-Wrecks also ships in July 2022, if all goes well, and is $54.99.

The price gouging here and frankly on Walmart is a bit ridiculous. For example:

You can get a minty-fresh KO reissue Opt. P for $50 on AliExpress (like eBay but without the scamming, as they don't release payment until you confirm receipt): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256803331899923.html
I have one and it's nearly a perfect replica of the original.
Also, for anyone interested in a CHUG-sized downscale of MP-10 and his trailer:

I personally go with G1 for the nostalgia factor, ER Prime as a deskbot for his durability and playability, and mini MP-10 for looking sweet on display.
