    Got my pre-order in.... Even though this is based off of the version of the character in War For Cybertron, it'll still work with my United/Henkei figures nicely. Still has the "ancient guardian" vibe.

    Wow! $299 + shipping... I think I'll wait it out... I'd rather invest on FP's Stunticons. First post updated.

    Ah man, I was pretty stoked for this, but I don't have that kind of cash to spare at the moment with so much else on the go.

    Well...my excitement was overwhelming when I clicked the preorder link...Followed by utter sadness...If it really is Herc size (as it says in the description) then I understand its price. However, I could buy Herc one piece at a time thereby distributing his cost across many months. Not to mention RK charges for preorders upfront so there is no way that I will be able to afford him before free light promotion ends (it says dec). Sad day indeed. I will try to get him somehow but he will have to wait until well into next year with all the stuff hitting between now and the end of the year.

    Yeah, i want to support this. But the timing is horrible. With Fort Max & so many official masterpieces plus some FOC stuff all within the next few months i doubt i'll be able to drop another $300.

    Am I the only one pleasantly surprised by the price? A 3rd party item this big will never be cheap. Even though it's probably much more simplistic than Hercules (fewer moving parts), I expected it to be at least $350, probably more.
    Still not interested though :)

    Unfortunately, WFC OS doesn't transform into a discernible form... It's supposed to be a mobile fortress, right? I looks like a big "matrix" like alt mode... :lol

    I hadn't considered that Omega would cost that much--guess I should have considering how much we had to pay for Hercules:lol 

    I'll probably have to pass on this--even though I like very much what I'm seeing so far--as I'd like to get Menasor and depending on what happens with Uranos, I might be jumping on that too.

    Hope it does well and is around for a while.

    I'm going to wait and see what US e-tailers put this up for (hoping CP picks it up.) $299.99 + $57 shipping from RK. I can understand the $57 shipping, but it still hurt lol. I'll be preordering this regardless.

    I'm a little disappointed that this thing is only Herc size. From the promo pic I was really expecting it to come closer to Fort Max size. I can't really scoff at the price tag; $300 for this thing is not much IF it is a very solid figure using thick durable platics.

    SO far the size is the only thing losing my interest. Still keeping on eye on this project so they still have me as a potential customer.


    I will admit though that this thing is on the very bottom of my "to get" list.

    Did that silhouette picture, that they said was to scale, show OS to only be ~14 inches? I don't have FoC prime, so I don't know how they compare to each other? I also expected him to be bigger.

    Unfortunately this seems to be coming out right around the time of Encore Fortress Maximus. Just can't swing this one. That and the Hasbro release of the Platinum Edition Omega Supreme has more of my interest ...
