Encore

[Philip Ayres]

No dilemma at all!

[Deleted]

My Micromasters, Mini-Cons and Legion/Legends will be very happy to have this big guy to play on

I might even look into buying him online in fact, not just waiting for AA for a chance to find him

[legios]

*considers current Yen/Pound exchange rate....*

Hmmmm.... Fairly sure I'll not be tempted given the likely cost.

[Philip Ayres]

I know I will..... and I have Brave Max

[Nigel]

Having missed out on Brave Max (damn you, drop safety test!) Encore Max will not slip through my fingers.

and if it does, lets hope it doesn't shatter into many dangerous pieces!

Ha ha! Well done, I missed my own pun!

I'd be all over Encore Fort Max like a rash, but price of Constructicon reissues (especially with the weak exchange rate to then yen) and the size of the damn thing make me worry for my wallet and bum hole.

[Dezzeh]

Judging by the price of current reissues we're probably looking at least £150, plus shipping and inevitable CUTA.... WORTH IT.

I'd sooner we got the rumoured Scorponok reissue. This news leaves me fairly ambivalent.

[kayevcee]

Great news! By the power of mid-2000s Yahoo Japan and my American sojourn I've had all three Maximi pass through my hands and they're just superb. It's only a shame it can't be a bigger release aimed at kids.

A Scorponok reissue would be fantastic as well. Black Zarak would be nice if they can use a less explodey gold plastic mix. Overlord would be fantastic as well, but I suspect any further big releases will hinge on Max's success.

A re-issue Fort Max would be the greatest challenge to my desire to stop buying TF's. Especially if a neon Ehobby version was made. Ralph would find it difficult to justify the need to eat that month. It would challenge him greatly. Yes, challenge him so much that he slips into 3rd person mode. Ech. Yoda, you seek Yoda! ehahahahahahahahaha

[Philip Ayres]

Fortress Maximus reissue, need you do.

[Shockprowl]

Well done for asking the question, Jason! Very interesting!!! ALOT of convincing of Mrs Shockers ahead!!!!

Encore G2 Devastator coming: www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11560&mode=retail

[The Doctor]

Please be the orange one!

-Ralph

[jasonw]

Question I'm asking myself today:

Do I need a yellow Devastator?

[Jim]

Apparently the next Encore will be Fort Max. Kapow have a pre-order up for *cough* £299:

I was so hoping Scorponok would be next.

$350 from BBTS I think I'll wait till I'm in the US and pick one up and bring it back as my suitcase.

Feeling much better about not buying ehobbys SG soundwave and blaster set, now that money can go to completing my max collection.

[Philip Ayres]

Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueshift]

Not bad! Still a bit rich for my blood though!

[Fortmax2020]

!!

I'll believe it when I see it. And maybe buy one if they are still available later in the year.

I predict this will be this decade's 'Ginrai Rerelease' - manufactured in vast quantities to make it viable but actual demand will not match the excitement of the idea.

[Stomski]

Still killing myself for not picking up a Ginrai + God Bomber set from HLJ when they were on sale for £10

Not sure people will really be that into this release either? But it'll be interesting to see what they do with the packaging after the direction they took with Sixshot.

What will e-Hobby do.....

Would that be a repaint of Kabaya Fort Max? In the colours from that miscoloured splash from Time Wars?

I'd say WST, but that's unofficial...

[Bogatan]

Armada ChristMax or whatever others call him.

[The Doctor]

If there is a G2 style Fort Max I am *******. I will red haze on the spot then have no food for a month or two.
