Christmas Maximus:

That would be acceptable too! I would like the Time Wars miscolouration as well though:

If this happens give me warning so I can evacuate the city in time! And get my own order in.

Considering how much the non-e-Hobby release already is, you may have to forego rent as well. You will have to live inside Fortress Maximus.

-Jim

[The Doctor]

I can do that. Doctor Who taught me that 'space pressure' can make people mini-size so it's doable.

[Marc Graham]

I so want a Fort Max.

[Dezzeh]

I have preordered from bbts, but I go to Japan in April so am hoping I can pick one up there..

[Marc Graham]

I pre-ordered via BBTS too, will be keeping an eye on HLJ.

[Bogatan]

Tempted tempted. Dont want to leave it and have the price go up, but really need to avoid buying much right now.

[Jaymz]

Already have a loose one, but can't resist minty fresh! I'll most likely order it from Hong Kong when it comes out, dreading the postage costs on the thing.

[kayevcee]

Mr Bogatan, if you're swinging by Iowa prior to Botcon 2013 you can have one sent here and I'll hang on to it till you get here. Alternately, if I can somehow wangle my way into making it out to Botcon 2013 I'll bring it along.

Also, I think I'm going to have to go for one of these.

[Shockprowl]

I'd love one too, but, don't have the cash and don't have the room (according to Mrs Shockprowl, but she's got a point), so I'll have to settle for Green Giant, when Maketoys finally sort themselves out.

[dyrl]

Price is way too high. Come on. RID FORT MAX did not cost this much I think.

Anyways - another problem is that Fortress Maximus is just way way too big - which would be ok if his fortress mode actually did more than just stand there - but it doesn't. I mean, there's really very little you can DO with it. The robot mode has limited articulation which, at that height, is just a waste of space...

But the main thing is the price - dag. I mean - I'd rather get Yamato's 1/3000 scale SDF-1 - it's not as big and has more detail...

Even if I had time, space and money I've never been all that tempted by a Fort Max. I would put him right near the end of the base-formers list (including most Micromaster bases), even - I find the colour scheme a bit bleh and the base mode doesn't look as interesting as Metroplex. On top of that, no fictional portrayal has ever endeared the character to me.

Grand Maximus scores more points for being more visually interesting and having a Pretender shell.

RID Fort Max never happened.

Car Robots Fort Max did.... and was ten years ago. Inflation, a bad $ or £ to Yen exchange rate and rising toy production costs have worked against us.

Christmas Fort Max!!!!!!!

Since Blaise took over our original, we need an extra one.

Mine cost me £84 inc shipping and I bought it...10 years ago!

-Ralph

[Jaymz]

Fort Max is about £250 on Robot Kingdom with shipping to the UK.

As for anime Devastator, I like the barrel on Mixmaster, not overly keen on the new head. If I see it cheap enough I'll most likely pick it up and shift my normal colours Encore Devastator.

[The Doctor]

After some thought, I shall pass on Fort Max. I would have to save up over a few months and the effort of putting that much money aside is pretty daft when it could go towards a week away next Easter (a plan currently taking shape) which would benefit me more. Besides, I don't have the space for it, I still have my treasured Brave Max and I generally don't feel the urge to buy many TF toys anymore anyway. Still chuffed it is coming out though.

HLJ Fort Max Pre Order: www.hlj.com/product/TKT47613

[Marc Graham]

Cancelled BBTS - pre-ordered HLJ.....

[Philip Ayres]

oddly enough.... ditto!

[Dezzeh]

And indeed, same, as well as the cassettes

[Cullen]

After initially baulking at the price I've pre-ordered Fort Max. Bases are my favourite type of TF and I've always wanted one. Everytime I got to a convention I think I'll finally get one but can't justify paying about £500 for a beat up original with all the guns missing. I figured if I don't get this reissue I'm basically saying I'll never own one so there it is.

My bum is already fearful of the undoubtedly gigantic CUTA action he will attract.

If you were at AA 2011 you could have had a complete one for that Mind you, now it looks like that would have been a bad deal.

As one who runs the CUTA gauntlet often, I offer my sympathy.

That would be the best of all possible worlds really wouldn't it?

Those new Constructicons look great. can't decide whether to display them as Devz or as individuals.

Anyone heard anything of what to expect Encore-Wise past Fort Max in March?

[Philip Ayres]

No word at all yet. But the last couple of years the only Encore releases have been in the early part of the year :-(
