    I was really amazed and kinda teared up on what happened to him on the Siege series.

    I found 2 about a month ago, so it's not impossible. Rural stores help.

    Yeah I waited too long too. Have accepted I just won't get him. Same with metroplex. Maybe an even better version will come out in a few years anyway

    If you live in Japan, TTMall still has him in stock at their standard titan price of 27500 yen, which is currently around $260. S&H would be insanely high at the moment.

    This makes BBTS's restock $240 price seem like a "deal".

    Yeah, $360 is rather steep.

    Looking for OS at under $200 MISB is not realistic at this point...or ever again.

    Cheapest I've seen on eBay is $225 from China but who knows how long it would take to arrive with current pandemic conditions.

    Edit:
    I've seen other Japanese stores carry OS for quite a bit cheaper but can't ship to US due to Japan Post restrictions.

    The only Titans I still see with some regularity around here is the unlucky pair of Trypticon and Fortress Maximus at various local comic stores.

    I've seen it at two, even 3 stores in the last few times I've been at those EBgames in the last month or so... so it should still be a fairly easy one to get as a store can request a transfer from another store.

    Myself, I ended up getting an extra by accident.

    Got a Reflector today, finally lol.

    Was tempted to grab 2 while I had the chance and then put them as a team with a Scrapface that I also saw in a store (but didn't get) but... ahh, just too much money to spend all on the 'same' figure. Would probably rather just pick up some other characters. Like Impactor, who wasn't even remotely on my want list until I watched the TV show. :p  Hmm.

    You have an awesome pop culture display going on there :thumb 

    :lol :lol :lol 

    "Higher Dad, higher!"

    Indeed! I'm still waiting on pre-orders on Kapow or ID Toys for the Spy Patrol 3rd unit to get Rumble :(  as for who to pack with Buzzsaw, if they can't find a perfect match might I daresay they could make a NEW character? Novel concept I know :O but just make a new character who matches whatever colours the plastic is in. Or if one of Blaster's minions would match better they could make it a vs pack?

It is not too far away in design from an earth mode vehicle, needing just some minor twitch like the addition of a spoiler and roof. Feels that it is simple yet fun to transform into robot mode. Wondering why I have waited till now?

    Hoping to give it a makeover soon.

    There are kits to change it over to an Earth mode version if you want. But I’d suggest that Lamborghini has had enough really out there designs that Sideswipe could probably pass as a modern design.

    Also, given what we’ve seen of the effort to “Earthrise” Ironhide, I’m not sure you’d want to have Sideswipe “updated.”

    Oof, that's rough. I was very fortunate to get a pre-order in at BBTS a week ago for $170.

    I think eBay or TF forum sales boards may be your best bet at this point. Ross just started getting SIEGE stock in so he might show up there on the cheap but that's a big might.

    Alternatively D-12 Gabriel is on sale for $180 at BBTS and he's a more G1 accurate Omega Supreme figure only about an inch shorter. Here's the link if you're interested.

    I really hope you find something to scratch you Omega sized itch though!
