Halloween Costumes - Deluxe Optimus Prime



Every Halloween, I look forward to buying my nephew's costume for the year. The competitive side of me always wants him to have the most kick-ass costume vs all the other kids. So I search the net high and low for the newest and most in demand costumes. A few years ago it was the Batman Begins costume, with matching chest muscle plate and evil pointy ears. This year, it's the Deluxe Optimus Prime costume. Note the "deluxe" classification - for an extra $17 vs the "standard" version, he gets a toy arm weapon and a chest piece. These were so hard to get, perenially out of stock. I resorted to finally getting them on eBay, at a bit of a premium. But from the joy in my nephew's face, it was all worth it (he wore the mask all evening long the day he got it). Can't wait til trick or treating time when he'll have the coolest costume all other kids will be drooling over again. Originally found at costumecraze.com, $ 45.95.

This is a great site, Nana! You should've done this a long time ago!! Thanks again for all the wonderful stuff you've gotten for all of us, more especially the 2 bambinos. You are such a generous and loving sis! Can't wait to see you have your own bambinos! You'll be a fab mumsy for sure. Congrats again, sis!! :-)
