    BBTS has him listed at $115 sounds a little high to me.

    Yeah, that does sound a bit high, but then again, it's BBTS, so the price should be expected to be raised up. Someone on the first page said that it was retailing for £35. Just curious, but, does anybody know what that would be translated over to American $? I'll see if I can find an online thing to translate it over, but, I'm not sure what currency that £ represents (Euro comes to mind, but, I could easily be wrong).

    Edit: Nevermind. Just saw the price on the FantoFan website. It'll be retailing at about $76 (pre-order price, not sure what the difference will be layer on). Not bad, but, I'm going to have to save up if I'm going to get him (might have to skip getting more paint for my kitbashes, which will further delay me finishing them).

    I had Classics megatron preordered when BBTS posted him. I held off on Starscream until I saw the pictures. The colors look great!

    As for Omega Supreme, I have one complete. However, one leg does not work properly. Did I preorder a new one? You betcha!!! :D 

    I want to see a Guardian robot repaint for Omega as well! That would be awsome!

    Oh man, it's going to be hard to choose which J-Classics I want. :(  Most likely Megs and Starscream...

    Everyone is saying there is chrome parts. Which is awesome. But does anyone think(or is just me?) that Mirage has a chrome spoiler like the original toy had? Maybe it's the lights playing with my eyes, since there really isn't any good pics of him.

    So the pre-order price is $76 for Omega Supreme? What does this pre-order price mean? I am new to pre-ordering anything. How much does shipping usually cost from Fan2Fan? If I can get him for under $100 I will be stoked!

    I will so have Megatron and maybe starscream. Kinda ticked about Omega I felt that my misb original was safe from the reissue depreciation.

    Late to this party, but gotta say.... NICE. I've held off on picking up a vintage Omega Supreme for a few years, and now it has paid off. Woohoo!

    As for the other stuff:

    Encore Minibots, sweet (but it's keychain Bumblebee? Boo.)
    Japanese Classics.... Starscream, Grimlock, Prime, Megatron, and Mirage look great. Sad about the white Astrotrain, was hoping for grey. Hot Rod.... can't tell the difference.

    Overall, mostly very good news that will end up costing me a lot of money. :)

    Dude, the Astrotrain isn't finished, its merely there to show they're going to release one.

    Probably a similar situation with Rodimus, as I can't see any differences between the one pictured and the American release (probably the American release standing in for now like Astrotrain and the two prototypes).
