I thought the mold was toast by now. I wonder what this will do to sales of OS on auction sites.
How many of these will be listed as AFA originals????

I guess my G1 collection is at the point where I have almost everything I want (minus a few headmasters), so it doesn't help me. A part of me thinks about getting the reissue anyway, but my Omega is in good shape, so it would really just be a waste of money.

None, because it says Encore on the box.

Seriously, this is one of the best figures ever and my personal favorite. He's like a giant puzzle that rolls and walks and he's just kick ass all the way around!

WOW! I wish I started back then, like how some of you did. At least there doing the encore's. I can actually collect all the G1. You have to remember to that its made by TAKARA, the shipping cost to ship them here, also the stores that buy it. I bet you Hong Kong or Japan will sell OS for $45 or $60 the most or even less. Minibots! Man! I would say maybe $10 to $20 there. Of course we get the wack price's! Oh well! Can't wait till these 2 come out.

However, as old Omega isn't on my list and he is a 100$+ figure, I'll have to pass. I am glad, however, that he is getting rereleased as it shows just how unafraid of rereleasing big toys TakaraTomy are....maybe we'll see Scorponok in the future?

Thank you Takara!
Takara has done what was once considered impossible. No longer will I ever doubt the possibility of a reissue.

And yay for the mini bots sets, I missed the TFC one.
If Takara Tomy got the rights to make Skylynx and Omega Supreme does that mean the possibility of a Shockwave reissue has increased?
I just wish more Decepticons would get reissued, my G1 collection is getting abit one sided.

Now, let's see the Dinobots!

YES.
I already own a good condition Omega, but the possibility of a juicy recolor is exciting.

Wow dude, I'd have to drop 400 on a set of 3 of those.

Ah yes, they should give Omega Supreme a face. They did it with Ironhide and Ratchet. So Omega cardboard cut out isn't too much to ask.
On a different note- does anyone know if Omega Supreme was ever released in Japan under the Transformers label? Wasn't he one of the few that never got released?

I believe the appropriate response is an official, "Fo shizzle."

eHobby Omega Sentinals would be the coolest things ever. Again CP, I'm asking you not to play with my emotions like that....if you keep getting my hopes up for Sentinals I will cry like a tiny, tiny girl if they are not produced. That will be embarassing seeing as I am a burly, burly man.

Now that's a lot. For a toy.

How come Encore Megatron isnt listed on BBTS any more?

Probably sold out.
OS is 11 inches and is pretty huge.

If not, Reprolabels already makes an Omega Supreme face sticker.

A Sentinel Repaint Would be Sweet
However I would like a MechaBot One Repaint (Just like Diaclone Magnus)

Yeah, but that's the price you pay most of the time. Omega has been out of production since like 1985 or something, so he's an expensive buy no matter what. It's always more expensive to collect the older figures as opposed to the movie toys which are still cheaply available or recent lines like Cybertron, which you can still largely get cheap on the secondary market.

Almost as sad as my long, never-ending pre-order list from BBTS.

Same here. BBTS hurts more since they are a lil overpriced, but I gladly pay a lil extra for the peace of mind that goes with ordering from there. However, due to pile of loot, I never get to actually see anything, since I haven't asked for my pile of loot to ship in about 6 or 7 months.
Yes, it is humungous right now. My GF will have a heart attack whenever I have it ship.
