Here's a better deal if you did want one. (cheaper shipping so less out of your pocket)

Actually they're nearly the same (the exchange rate got me) At least it's buy it now
There is this one if you didn't need MISB http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/G1-Autobot-Omega-Supreme-Good-Condition-/320964712958?pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item4abafcd9fe#ht_500wt_1414

That's a fair price. Encore Omega Supreme retails for 10,000JPY ($121) and is a massive shelfwarmer, but considering the cost of postage, I think $150 is a reasonably good price. Btw, there's a sticky thread here (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=6054) for asking about prices and the worth of toys. :)

Meh, pass. I got mine for about $35 IIRC.

Yeah, I saw Encore Omega Supreme shelfwarming in Tokyo earlier this year. Didn't bother to check the price, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were massively cheap considering that it's been dead stock for four years now (:eek:) - retailers must be desperate to sell them cheap.

But considering that $150 is only $30 above the original RRP, I think it's a reasonable price to pay for that toy. Obviously if you can get the toy for less than RRP then it's even better, but I don't think $150 is a bad price to pay if we compare it with the "RRP benchmark." :) e.g. reissue God Ginrai retailed for 7980JPY ($96) -- which is what I paid. The toy shelfwarmed and even local import stores in Sydney were flogging them off for just $20 each! But if someone were to find a God Ginrai reissue now for about $100, then I'd consider that to be a reasonably fair price. While it's no where near as good as the sale price, it's close to the original retail price. Anything much above any original retail price of a toy I would personally consider excessive. JMHO. ;)

It was a lucky pre-opened find at Mandarake IIRC - they usually have good prices for not-amazingly-rare stuff, and not-MISB stuff goes for a a steal here. I picked up a resealed Animated Soundblaster/Black Soundwave for my best friend for about $8 for crying out loud.:rolleyes:

Most reasonably priced Encore Omega Supremes I see here these days hover around the 5000Y mark, though I think the postage from Osaka to Oz would be murder. I know it was horrible sending my extra souvenirs for workmates back here from Tassie - probably added a good 30-to-50% to what I paid for them in the first place.:rolleyes:
