Two different types of Animated Optimus Prime and Bumblebee costumes have been sighted at various stores in the United States. 2005 Boards member Optimus Clyde reports finding children-sized Animated Optimus Prime and Bumblebee costumes at a Walmart store in Plano, Texas. These are the first sightings of the costumes that we reported pre-orders on back in June. The costumes contain the jumpsuit, foam chest piece, two foam cuffs, and a character mask. Optimus Clyde also sighted a new kind of hard-plastic Animated theme Trick-or-Treat Pail for Halloween.
I also sighted different Animated Optimus Prime and Bumblebee costumes at the KMart in Des Plaines, Illinois. These children sized Animated costumes only contain a jumpsuit the covers the entire body and the character mask.
Pictures from both sightings and thus of all four costumes (and the trick-or-treat pail) can be seen by clicking on the image to the left.

I have the pail that is Animated Prime's head. It rules!

^ Nice attitude.
I don't dig em, but my sons really want them. So, I gotta get both.
Oh well, at least they share in my Transformer obsession.

The costumes are crappy I hate them. The pails suck to.

Huh I thought those were already reported. They've been out at store in NH for a couple of weeks now.

Wow……No offense to anyone planning to buy those, but those look sooo ugly as costumes on people. I mean, look @ the 2nd and third pictures!! I might only try to get the Autobot pumpkin thingy (pic.3)

Cool an autobot logo bucket. Now I should get both and the prime head…

Those pails kick ass! Wait, did I just get excited about a pail? Yes I did and have no shame about it.

I am so sick of bee and prime. I want Starscream slag it all! Or at least something decepticon!

First sighting we've had of those. We reported them previously on a pre-order page at ToyNK. Nice to hear they're out though. Thanks!
Oddly, I also had a sighting of Animated Prime and Bumblebee costumes, but they are different from those.
KMart in Des Plaines, IL
Optimus Clyde
Saw these at Wal-Mart in Plano, TX (Ohio St. @ Highway 121).
They are the Transformers Animated Bumblee and Optimus Prime Costumes for kids and the hard plastic TFA trick-or-treat pail.
Searched and didn't see this posted yet. Apologies if it isn't news.
