Show of hands,Who's buying "year of snake"Omega Supreme toy?
http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Supr ... formers-20

No,not me,Because in 2004 in the Energon toy line,the Supreme sized toy only cost $49.99. 7 Years later,I don't think the re-tooled molds merits the double price tag of $99.99. While I think the re-tooled newer arm,newer head & colors look great,I don't think their that great to make me fork over $99.99 for the toy. HAD THIS TOY COST $49.99 WITH FREE SHIPPING FROM AMAZON.COM I WOUL HAVE BOUGT IT.

I had the toy & gave it away a few years ago to a younger relative. I never liked the thick plastic vehicles as they reminded me of play school tonka huge heavy plastic construction toys. The huge robot mode looked like a brick-former despite have decent poseable limbs. I think the brick-former look comes from the torso taking up so much plastic on the toy,it basically a huge rectangular box with no waist sculpt & no abdomen sculpt.

I made a comment joke years ago all over the TF forums internet that the energon Supreme sized Omega Supreme reminded me of that 1980's Centurions cartoon episode,where the 2 main evil villians "Doc Terror & Hacker" combined their cyborg parts to create a new super villian.

If I had $100, I totally would. Maybe if I sell more GI Joes and old TFs.

I just feel my $100 could be better spent on something else TF.

I like the new claw arm they gave it, and the colors are much better than the original Energon version of the figure. The new head kinda seems a bit tiny but I like the look of it. Over all I'd say it's a nice looking figure and an improvement over the original Energon Omega Supreme but can't say I'm looking to buy one. And $100 is a lot for any Transformer.
