Might as well give him a gold horse head too. Would look pretty good with those rings

Hey, why the long face?

Yuk. Shouldn't that trailer be a 'horse trailer' being a Year Of The Horse thing?.....to carry certain Hasbro Ponies?

Ugh, would have been nicer if they'd done something a little more subtle, maybe a slightly different deco than previously but still a version of G1 - I was hoping this might be another chance to pick up MP10. But this just looks gaudy and ugly. Easy pass for me!

Awesome, another two i can save my money on. Not interested in these in the slightest!!

Pretty sad this supreme sized figure is the worst version of the mold. I love it in the legend size class.

Just got a reply on whether we'd be getting Prime here:

Hi Ryan,

There are plans for the distribution of this product for the beginning to mid year of 2014.

I have no further information at this time which stores will be distributing the product.

Regards

Promising. Sounds like Hasbro are also fishing for any mid year Toy Sale interest from retailers, if the 'beginning of 2014' doesn't materialize.

Fingers crossed. Target did pretty well with Platinum UM near me last year, but K-Mart and Big W didn't do so well. I hope it doesn't go to TRU, but if it does, I hope it goes on the website.

That's interesting. I only ever saw Omega in person at one Big W. From what i've seen, K Mart are still sitting on quite a few OP's, while the Target stores still have the odd UM or two. And you can count on TRU to still have stock in 2015

Gave me a laugh

I mean, I'm only going by what I can see on shelves - unlike you I don't have the privilege of being a store employee. But Target sold out of UM completely during the four weeks of the mid-year toy sale. K-Mart I think have sold out of POP since discounting it (I only bought mine a week or two ago). Big W, meanwhile, didn't seem to even have an Omega on display until mid-September, when I promptly picked it up and put it on layby, with none throughout the whole of the toy sale; I initially thought it had sold out. But Rocky Big W looks like it's on a mission to become the single worst place in the universe to buy toys (a title previously held by Rocky Target, which has since upped its game): they have reduced the size of their toy section despite it being nearly Christmas; they've devoted an entire endcap to TMNT which is never fully stocked; they have crates of toy cases which they take out every night, but never put on shelves; they then claim to have no room for layby.

In TRU's defence, it only got Grimlock vs Bruticus around the same time Metroplex and Soundwave were showing up, so you'd expect it to hang around longer. But with no stores anyway for miles around me, a frankly shoddy website, and their crazy prices, I'm seriously hoping neither of these end up exclusive to TRU. I'd really like that Prime, especially since I missed out on the first Australian release of the mold. It'd be a shame to get screwed out of it because of geography.

Looking at the picture second time round makes me think YOTH Optimus is missing something. Perhaps he needs more gold bling. Gold rings on his fingers, gold chains around his neck, golden axe (rather than translucent blue) and gold matrix of leadership. Oh yeah.......

Would love to see him having a gold faceplate :P.
