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?

If you don't have a Metroplex then go for his Encore reissue.

My first pick would be Omega Supreme. The electronics is cool to play with. My 2nd pick would be Seacons. The set looks cool. Last would be Metroplex. I like Metroplex but not as much as the others. He’s too much of a brick.

Well you can get about 1 and a half figs off your list so just pick two and throw in the extra money.

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.

Seacons. They're limited, so if you don't like them, they're easily sold on. Possibly at a profit.

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

if you like the color of the seacons , then I say go for them because they will likely keep their value or increse. + they are awesome molds. IMO

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.
