Re: Why is the newest version of Omega Supreme so expensive?
Anyone who says Omega is too expensive hasn't actually played with the toy in person. He's so much bigger than the original toy.
Granted I think all TFs' prices have been getting insane, particularly at the Deluxe price point, but to compare the tiny city bots of the 80s to their new Titan sizes now is very different. I love having bases that look huge (to an adult) and can use basically what were "voyager" size vehicles on their ramp (a combiner wars limb is a lot larger than a scramble city limb from when we were kids). And much more durable.
I still love the original 80's toys, but being able to play with my kids with these significantly less fragile base-formers is awesome. And the Titans still feel like a good price-size-feature ratio. Of course I wish they were cheaper, like the cost of Metroplex years ago, but it's still not that bad.
Having said that, I got him on the 20% pre-order too. I'm shocked how low TR Trypticon got, so you could risk waiting for Omega to get clearance prices like TR Trypticon did, but myself, I wouldn't want to miss out.

Re: Why is the newest version of Omega Supreme so expensive?
To answer the original question, he is "so expensive" because he is a titan class transformer. The price is around the standard for that class size, which we have had for 4 years now straight now. I would not compare to the original since they are not the same toy. It's like asking how come SS Bumblebee is more expensive than G1 Bumblebee, doesn't make much sense.

Re: Why is the newest version of Omega Supreme so expensive?
For anyone complaining about Titan Omega's price, here is the inflation on G1 Omega. Take into consideration that the Titan is twice the height, almost triple the amount of plastic, and immeasurably more articulated. For an extra $40 USD to make up the difference, I think he's worth it.

Re: Why is the newest version of Omega Supreme so expensive?
I am so very happy Omega was made in Titan class. Ever since Devastator was made in the same class, I wanted a new Omega to pair with him. He's amazing, sturdy and a perfect representation of OS.

My only real gripe with this figure
Seems like a poor decision given that the rocket tripods on these?
My old G1 OS had one of his orange pincher fingers broken off at the base, so I have always been hung up on his fingers breaking
Seeing the new fig is translucent plastic for claw, is like "!!!"
