Good Points
Lots of play value
General Comments
I bought the Transformers Optimus Prime Leader for my 8 year old son for Christmas, and he loves it so much he has hardly put it down. Optimus Prime has been on the market for many years. My eldest son, now nearly 25, always wanted him as a child but at the time money was too tight, as they were bigger and comparatively more expensive back then. Now that they are smaller and less expensive, they are in most people's price range as a Christmas gift for a child. I paid £29.99 in Argos. Optimus Prime is the leader of the Transformers; toys that can be transformed from robots into vehicles of many sorts, and even animals. Optimus Prime transforms into what looks like an articulated lorry with a rocket launcher. Various bits can be added or removed to make him look different, and it has a secret key. Don't ask me what the secret key is for, as it is a secret, but any child who has one may tell you!
Great toy, great play value, and great all around value.
