it's going to be a long hunt but it'll be worth it
Sorry for draggin the topic, but I can totally place myself in your shoes right now. G1 was before my time so I only caught up with the original shows recently since I got back into toy collecting. And I wanted an Omega Supreme toy. But the G1 was a bit out of reach and not really what I wanted for my classics collection. The Energon Omega mold answered all my needs though. He is so big and has an amazing head! But he was expensive. One local guy told me he could sell me Omega Sentinel for 70$. The deco is great so I didnt mind that it wasnt Omega Supreme, but it was still very pricey. It was pretty much the same everywhere online. Then I found on 4chan someone selling Energon Omega Supreme for 40$. YES! I paid him on paypal, he told me he sent it, but I never got a tracking number. The toy never came, the guy never replied to my messages and I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back. I got my money back, but what I wanted was that damn toy!
The hunt wasnt fun anymore. BUT 2 months later, I find someone selling Omega sentinel in a local add for 10$. Its not too close by and he isnt complete but who cares. 10$!!!! It takes me 1.5 horus to get there but I do and I get him and he is huge. The 1.5 hours to get back home was easy since I had this guy to figure out adn play with. Turns out he was only missing his missiles and a red tab for his turret pose which is nothing. And he even came with instructions!
So all in all, it was a hell of a hunt but I got him and it was worthwhile. I wish you all the best!
