    Technically I have space, but there's some sort of psychological barrier for me about the titan class and purchasing so big figures..

    The Titans for me are true 'toys'. Large, mostly hollow, joints questionable. I had and sold Metroplex. He was one of the better ones. Fort Max was not great and I thought I might be on board with Tryps, but then came his hip issues. So that was it for me and the Titans.

    But it sure is cool that they came out with so many and will get Scorp at some point. And tbh, Metroplex got me back into TFs in a big way. They're just not for me.

    All of my Titans live in various closets, shoved in there. This being the case I've always wondered:

    Do people TRULY have no space in their home for storage when they say this?

    Shelves are a man’s best friend :) 

    Omega supreme functions as a toy and a reward to go with the toys people possible bought before him. I find him more justifiable than say a lego Death Star.

    I don't have an incredible amount of space for him. Since I have the very good YOTS version, I've been biding my time for a sale. If I miss it, it's not the end of the world.

    Space and price. And they dont scale with anything else really. Devastator is the only titan i have so far. And i would kill for a downsized version

    Titan Omega Supreme hasn't shown up at any discount stores like Fort Max and Trypticon did, so I'm inclined to think Hasbro reduced production for him compared to previous titans. At this point I doubt there will be any great sale prices for him.

    I know. There may be a last chance this holiday but I just don't think he saw the production numbers that Trypticon did. Mind you, Trypticon won a poll...so Hasbro probably thought he'd sell like gang busters. And then the hip problem "sprung" up and that dampened sales.

    Incidentally, my paycheck coupled with the stimulus check encouraged me to go ahead and pull the trigger on Big Bad. Might be my last chance to swing one.

    ? those are plenty and about 40-50$

    Missed the memo?

    And if anything, Omega is the one titan that absolutely scales the most with just about everything. He's a huge bot and not a city bot that are hugely undersized for scale.

    I really wish Hasbro wouldn't have let fans choose the Titan for 2017. Without that vote we probably would have got Scorponok properly at the end of the Titans Return line instead of putting him off until this year.
    I also have Omega ordered on BBTS, but am unsure if them getting more inventory is a certainty.

    Just curious.. how would you scale him then?

    He can grab any of the Siege figures in his claw easily, matching the cartoon, comic for the most part (aside they go absolutely nuts with resizing him), he is not a "earth based" vehicle so he technically could be any size that would make sense for a rocket and tank, and he does that just fine. He's easily double the size/height of the original toy, but that's another story and that one wasn't to any animation/comic scale, nor was at the time either. He's also meant to be an outpost in base mode, so nothing more than a small "building" or so, which with the micromaster, he performs that quite well. He was never supposed to be a citybot, but next to those guys, nothing scales at all unless you take them outside the cartoon/comic stuff and use them as they are to the other toys (which I prefer doing anyways).

    I seem to recall a bunch of regular bots riding in his rocket in an episode. I also know they did that with Astrotrain in TFTM but i digress. Its great he scales with micromasters as if those were suppose to be regular bots.

    Agreed. I would have a loved a downsized CW Devastator that matched up to the other Combiners.

    yeah, Astrotrain, Skylinx, Jetfire, Cosmo, and a few more (wish that someone could put a list together) all would end up being gigantic inside, Tardis/Snoopy's doghouse type of inner-space dimension, as big as the Arc (or even bigger) in the cartoons... one just can't stick to that stuff, it was ridiculous then, and still is today, look at all the debates it creates.

    I always consider the micromasters as just another scale.. I always wished that they'd redo a few complement of the G1 characters into micromasters sets... and make it possible to get an Ark playset. (and maybe even do a true scale for alt mode for this series)

    Sort of. Not really a space issue per se (though, if I keep up with toy collecting/TF collecting in general, it will be) but how much space I personally want one TF to take up. For some reason I don't mind the idea of my living room turning into a giant nerd chamber, but the idea of having a Titan sized TF/toy in my place bothers me.

    I passed on him and a bunch of the other Siege figures due to space...will likely pass on much of ER for the same reason. I have decent versions of most of the characters I want already anyway.

    I’m another one that passed on him due to scale, and already having YOTS Omega Supreme with the Armageddon add-on. I actually really like that figure, and he scales way better with the majority of combiners and seems more reasonably sized compared to the real city bots.
