Year of The Snake Platinum Edition Figures Available for Preorder on Amazon

Good stuff

April is much better for me since it'll be post tax refund...

Woot! Pre-ordered!

finally!!! Used my Amazon Gift Card balance so not a big pinch on my pocket!!

Preordered. $80 and arriving in April is better than $100 and the end of the month (for me, at least).

I don't buy much of anything anymore, but this is tempting me Frodo!

So wait...I can't remember. Does Amazon charge upfront for a preorder or do they wait until it's instock?

They wait til in stock.

And damn. Thought there would be a little difference in price between amazon and bbts. Might have to hold out for a sale now.

Still can't justify the price for Optimus, even though I've really been wanting tha mold...but Omega has been pre-ordered.

looks cool , but i'll probably pass.

Preorderd like a mortar forker then. I can deal with waiting that long. Gives finances a chance to get back in order somewhat.

And.... gone.

Um... No?

Now it's 99.99

Amazon.com: Transformers Omega Supreme Action Figure (Platinum Edition): Toys & Games

And does not show up in search results

It was $99 before, too

Yep, I just realized my mistake. I thought they said it was 79 at Amazon. Thanks!

So... it's Free shipping?

Welp, I waited for Amazon for nothing. I'll just go BBTS.

Nice! Pre-ordered two of each. Thanks for the news!

Just wait for the price to drop the day after they get it!

Preordered just in case they sell out. I can always cancel or return it later.

Is that common?

Is this guy going to be available at retail stores or are they online only?

Only at Amazon.com & BBTS.com

The things I like about Amazon are,

free 2 day shipping
not charged till item s are shipped
guaranteed product availability
if price changes within 30 days, can call in for price adjustment(if lucky) or rebuy and no-hassle return

unlikely!

so:

BBTS - Feb
Amazon - April

No big deal to wait a little. Amazon is it.

Does Amazon typically get things a few months behind BBTS?

Or do they estimate later and get it around the same time?

I am not too worried about the April date. I think its more of a placeholder since they don't have a proper estimate. The G2 Bruticus was the first time I saw Amazon getting something later than BBTS.

Anyone have info on this guy? What's his height?

'Bout the same size as Unicron.

Just roughly measured my energon Omega and its about 14-14.5 inches tall.

Trust me. You aren't missing out. Fattimus Prime is easily one of the worst Prime renditions out there. The *only* way to make him look decent... is to pair him with a brickformer known as Energon Wing Saber.

That said... figured Amazon's price tag would be the same as BBTS. BBTS would be shooting themselves in the foot if they dared to price hike a "shared exclusive" item.

Guess my PoL will be sitting tight another few months... good lord is that box going to be huge... 40 items so far over a year's time span now. (Love BBTS PoL, ship cost is barely 30$ too! )

They got Bruticus way later than BBTS.

Gonna hope this guy goes for clearance like Jetwing or YotD Prime. Definitely not worth $100 for me. $50, maybe.

Thanks fellas!

I went ahead with it since they go together, if anything I can always return OP if I don't like it.

Just can't bite the bullet on this guy for $100. Not a big fan of the mold (from the little I have seen of it), and it is not Classicy enough for me to slap into my display.

Just as a point of reference, this is the same size as Unicron right? How much was Unicron retail?

Same here. If it comes out sooner I should have the money and if not I will cancel it. Not having to pay shipping is another plus.

It is about the same size.

Armada Unicron was $50 at retail and the Amazon version was $60. Given that unlike Amazon Unicron which used Takara's new head Omega's new head and right arm haven't been used elsewhere and the premium nature of this version as well as the general price increase and less plastic used in current size classes the price difference is largely understandable. I was hoping for $70 or $80 but it is what it is.

I feel the exact same way - plus my running short of display space doesn't help.

Now if he goes on sale, then I'll prolly bite.

omega same price as bbts. I'll stick with bbts since they don't charge me tax.

Me too! Ugh! I waited for Amazon, but they charge me tax! It's actually more expensive on Amazon, even with free shipping. I put in my order on BBTS.

Where does it say april? I'm looking, and don't see it anywhere.

yea Amazon. Finally can use that credit. Sadly I probably won't even display this guy. The box is nice enough for me though

April eh?

I still don't see the April release date on the ordering page .... ?

Same here. I want this but probably won't have any cash until late this year. I'm hoping the price doesn't shoot up like Unicron's did percentage wise.
