Seibertron.com member Blurrz has sighted a BBTS/Amazon exclusive at Canadian Retail! Much like how Amazon's exclusive Unicron showed up last year in Canada, Platinum Edition - Year of the Snake Optimus Prime, a repaint of Energon Optimus Prime, was spotted at South Edmonton Toys'R'Us at a price of $100 Cdn. Happy hunting!

If this makes it into American retail (most likely not), that would mean I wouldn't have to hunt for the Classics Voyager (about to break down and buy a KO).

that's nice, but I have the energon version of santa prime, so I don't need this one. YOTS Omega is wonderful though, hope he hits retail aswell

Funny how there's a price hike of 20$ in store for this guy, and he's still just a repaint. YotS Omega Supreme I could understand, considering the figure used to retail for about that price in Canada (even more so now that there's retooled parts to him), but 100$ seems expensive as heck for a fancy boxed repaint of this particular mould.

I managed to get YOTS Omega for £100 all in direct from Amazon, these look great and in package really do look the business.

That aside, Fattimus Prime is one of the worst Convoys out there IMHO, I know he combines with Omega; but sorry Hasbro - no sale. Galaxy Convoy however....

i just hate TRU markups sometimes why would you pay $20 more when you can go to amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Optimus-Action-Platinum-Edition/dp/B00AQ1NP6E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1364921339&sr=8-2&keywords=omega+supreme and free shipping. That is how where i got my omega supreme :-?
