    Now see this is a great idea! I'm not a FT boy,or a Hater...I like and dislike some things about both companies. I'm already invested in FT and TT aesthetic,so I'm trying to stay mostly with both for as much cohesion in my display as possible. I'm in for FT skyfire barring TT or a major disaster with the figure(daca ..cough). I d be all over a valk Jetfire...and GP would be the only one in town!

    :lolol 

    Un-fxcking believable...

    Im trying to figure out if this is real, as is it actually going to happen. FT announced a long time ago. There has to be a ton of risk with a figure this big. And yet GP shows this?

    This seems more like trolling FT than it does an actual announcement. I'm comfortable saying the market will support one MP Omega. But 2?!

    I think someone (GP or FT -Maybe both?) is going to lose on this (MP Omega). I'll hold my breath until an actual prototype shows up. I mean FT can risk a potential loss at this point, but can GP when they have no clue how well the rest of their Dinos are going to sell because they arent out yet? AND GP is under cutting (with at least Grassor) price wise?

    I have mixed feelings of this announcement because this seems more like "FU FT" than it does a real business decision.

    Competition keeps costs down for consumers, offers choice, may spur a FT OS X version (Im kidding), and will push innovation.

    I'll believe this is a real project when I see the painted prototype tho.

    The FT/GP petty wars continue.

    Good, if this pushes FT to excelerate their time table everyone wins. I don't think Giga will be bad but I'm definitely more the FT aesthetics type.

    Fair enough, but we don't know who's behind these companies. Maybe there are several names under the same man or company, Guttur doesn't look like a first attempt at all.

    And the war between FT/PE and GP/C9 is probably older than GP itself.

    FT itself is releasing stuff (Cesium) against GP, I don't think a 3rd Slag is very profitable.

    So we can enjoy this war without worrying too much... They do what they can afford to do. Ehm, maybe.

    Looks like Gigapower hold personal grudge against Fanstoys.
    Maybe a karma for some "bullying" that Fanstoys did in past?:D 

    If the material is great, they can support the weight of arms and the details are as crazy as they used to be... Then it might hit $ 600.

    But, yeah, I am more curious if Gigapower can keep their quality. I might take it depend on the quality of their Grimlock.

    P.S. I hope Gigapower or Fanstoys hits Sixshot and Thunderwing too, it will be VERY AWESOME.

    These two companies continue to embarrass themselves with their interactions regarding each other. That said, Giga simply doesn't have the market presence to pull a Fanstoys on FT themselves. Their few products are nice, but they do this and nobody cares. FT does this and it affects other folk's bottom line.

    I feel like GP & FT are both most famous for their Dinobots... which is very fitting as their releases roll out slowly just like some of the big ass dinosaurs they produce!

    As a FYI - GP Grassor is finally enroute. Orders thru me will be shipped out in the next 3-5 days, tracking provided shortly after.

    I've enjoyed products from both these guys, so this puts me in wait and see mode.

    I was probably there anyway, considering the price will be supremely high on these.
    (See what I did there! HA!)

    Look interesting. But I expected this will be a long project.
    I don't need a Omega supreme but I like GP style design of gundam-ish.
    Depend on price I'll buy it.
