    One of the best G1 tfs. When I was a kid I was the only one who had him out of all my friends, Their jealousy was delicious. I will have to get one soon.

    Third one on top row- is that the OMEGA mode? it looks like the greek Omega symbol.

    I got a G1 Omega for Christmas as a kid and spent all night with him and kinda ignored my other presents.
    (it was a good year- G.I. Joe stuff, Gobots and a few TFs, but OS was THA BOMB!)

    As a kid, though, i kinda hated assembling his leg parts. but it was not a big deal because to watch him walk across the dining room table was pure joy.

    I've got one of those. It was my Omega Supreme, pre-Encore. Now it's my Omega Sentinel :)

    I preordered the Encore version from HLJ but ended up cancelling after getting my invoice from them. $130+ to ship him is crazy. Now he's only $79 from BBTS. I've always wanted him, maybe now is the time to strike. Hmmm....

    I got Omega Supreme for my birthday back in October of 1985.
    I liked him but for an 11 year old the transformation was tricky(and time consuming). The white plastic pegs that hold the legs/treads in place were the first thing to break. Lots of little pieces to lose. Whats left of my original OS I gave to my daughter to play with a while back, she seems to like it.

    I have the Encore version now so its all good. :thumbs2:

    As a G1 collector... Omega is a "must have". :D 

    I keep him in robot mode though... If I had more space, he would be laid out with minicons around him.

    I'd say go for it :D 
    the price was just icing on the cake. I can't believe he's still in stock, tbh.
    I figured tf fans would've eaten him up by now lol.

    a great toy, even if its not really a takara toy!

    complex initially but you realise thats hes simple to put together once you now how, everything fits together nicely except the yellow clamps, they are a bit loose, maybe thats just the encore version. the fact hes a working vehicle and a walking robot is awesome.

    Never had it as a kid, Just too expensive to even bother asking my parents for it. but I did admire it in my firends collections. i had a friend who i thought had every TF at the time, and he had two OS, One displayed for both modes.

    Now I've ordered my Encore version, and i've been slowly peacing a G1 together on the cheap, kind of fun hunting down the parts.

    I'll be displaying them in both modes just like childhood friend did.

    I still have mine in the box, but only because I have no room for him. Great toy.
