#1 | | Beware my textbook! Join Date: Jun 2004 Posts: 4,965 Location: Central Florida Collection Count: 700 News Credits: 6 | Which expensive item? So, I have a bonus check coming next month that should be about $150, and I'm trying to decide between three options. Feel free to share opinions. The three options are...
TFCC Seacons- membership price.
Encore Omega Supreme
Encore Metroplex.
Thoughts? |

I'd definitely get Metroplex if you don't have him or never had him. He's iconic.
The TFCC Seacons are kinda gross colored, IMHO, and way overpriced -- I'd prefer a loose G1 set from Ebay, or a shiny God Neptune set, either of which can be had for way less than these fugly eyesore recolors.
Omega Supreme always struck me as kind of a gimmicky, less-playable figure. Fine to just display, but not really much fun to mess with...it's unarticulated, just a mass of partsforming pieces.

The Encore stuff will be around at original price, or less for a long time to come. |

The other two can be hade easy and waiting a bit you can probably get both for 150. They are however more ionic then Seacons.
