    Didn't the original Takara Reissue of the Minibots come with Gears? Guess he got pushed out on the Encore release. =P

    Pre-ordering both! Just broke out my Omega Supreme and I could def use an updated one. Plus with the quality of Ironhide and Ratchet, I know it's good stuff.

    I was one paycheck away from a vintage Omega supreme... I am sure I will pay more for the Encore but I would rather get the Encore with all the goodies and electronics working than a vintage.

    Take that Second-hand market!

    For those on the fence about the Minibot set, that new head sculpt is SO worth it. :D

    I normally don't import toys from Japan or pay the US on-line retailer's mark up for them. I really only remember doing that for Predaking, but F@*K...Omega Supreme. I will for that one in a heartbeat. Actually, now I think I will click on over to BBTS or another site to see if there is a preorder up yet.

    Wow, Omega Supreme. I don't think anyone saw that coming. May have to pick that one up.

    Classics Megatron looks really nice, but I don't like the Japanese version of Optimus. Bumblebee is also really plain. And it looks like Astrotrain isn't going to be colored like the cartoon.

    Omega Supreme? Holy crap. Not sure if it's enough to make me whip out the credit card, but that's damn cool.

    Never had Omega. Instant Buy.

    Minibots. Never bought the TFC versions. Instant Buy.

    Japanese Classics, especially Starscream(finally!). Instant Buy!

    And are those Chrome parts on Mirage?!?! Please tell me they are.

    I noticed the same thing, Takaratomy will get my money for Premium Prime if it is chrome!

    Classics Grimlock and Prime will be mine! That chrome on both of them look great!

    Of course Omega Supreme is a buy, where am I going to get the extra money for all this 2008 stuff? (reissues, animated, premiums)

    Holy Shyt! I know ppl said they like that classics had a cool updated color schemes but F them! These figs are so awsome and I wish I could own them all. I never got Grimlock, maybe I'll try hard for hiim and if I get nothing else, I need Megatron.

    LOVE the Takara take on Classics Prime.
    That's a MUST for me.

    ...and LOVE the encore OMEGA!
    That's just damn pretty.

    Were they ever that clean?
    Even in the 80's...?

    I love this hobby...
