BBTS Sponsor News: BBTS Shared Exclusive TF - Year of the Snake Prime & Omega Supreme

These are both pretty cool, I quite like them. So I guess these are a shared exclusive between BBTS, possibly Amazon and TRU? If they do show up at TRU, I may get one or both of them if a nice sale pops up, but I don't particularly need either so we'll see.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.. I'm curious if the FoC Omega Supreme is going to have "Year of the Snake" apps? Or is it just standard Omega Supreme paint? If this has the wild snake paint I would like to hold off for a good ol' fashion Omega.

YOTS Omega is a G1 inspired repaint/remold, it may have a YOTS logo somewhere but overall it's G1.

Excellent, thanks!

Sold!

To the OCD in the corner.

$100 for Omega I can see, its a tad high but not too much. On the other hand $80 for Prime is too much, $50-60 is about where I would have priced him.

Ye to an improvement on a already cool mold that is Omega Supreme! Nay to what I think IMO one of the worst OP molds of all time.

Omega's mine!

Don't care about Prime.

Got the Omega Supreme pre-ordered. SO glad to see this one coming down the pipe, finally. Onto my Classics shelves and to fight Hercules/Devastator!

I preordered Omega Supreme. I always wanted that mold, and this repaint is so much better than the original!

Preodered Omega but I think Ill pass on OP. Something tells me OP is headed for the clearence sale down the road.


Does anyone know who this is shared with?

Hasbro, why all the damn exclusives? Prices are still outragious, less than robotkingdom, but only by $9. Ugh...... why can't hasbro realease the good toys like this at regular retail anymore. All the good transformers nowadays are all bloody exclusives with insanely high prices. HASBRO, how many people that work for the transformers department actually know what they're doing when it comes to marketing? Less than 1/2?

I might pick them up, but if Optimus goes on clearence I'll definitely get him.

Seriously, $100 and $80 are too high for figures that were once $50 each.

Ugh, $100 for Omega? :\ I want him, but nowhere near that badly. He's pretty nice, and I really would like him, but there's no way he's worth it at that cost.

Omega has been preordered. 470ish left. wonder if they'll sell out or they just didn't have that many of him.

I'm sure Shapeways will come up with something.

Damn, was hoping it was TRU. Oh well, guess preorder stays with BBTS.

Preordered the pair, with extreme predjudice. These releases will greatly augment my G1 Energon display. Omega will look great flanked by Sentinels.

Paint scheme for omega supreme looks promising, but potentially as disappointing as the 2010 Primus. On the box it looked all nice and metallic silver, but turned out to be a boring gray with a sickly pale blue. All of these promo photos are so heavily Photoshopped you can't trust any of them.

Agreed, and I'm sick and tired of Hasbro doing that crap with every figure they release, even the on-package images look all metallic etc. It's false advertising IMO, especially if purchasing from an online retailer which only has the promo pics.

If the final figure ends up looking decent, I may get it but I'm still leaning towards Project Genesis, at least for my WfC/FoC shelf.

Just pre-ordered Omega Supreme. Looks great and I never had the original as a kid. I'm not a fan of huge figures, but this one is too good to pass up. That's another $100 I have to smuggle into the "husband slush fund."
