Fortress Maximus - To Buy or Not To Buy?

Weapon: Atom-Smasher Cannon
Is anyone else on the fence with getting Fort Max? He is missing in my collection, but I am having trouble getting past the amount of space and the cost needed for him.

I am and I'm not.

Personally I'm not too worried about space. I'll figure that out with some maneuvering and perhaps a new shelf for my tin toys (been considering that for a while anyway since my toddler year old niece sometimes comes into my room and tin toys are rather delicate).

I'm more concerned with the cost factor at this point. I've already worked out that I can afford him, and I think the price is pretty fair, but the whole fiscal cliff nonsense going on in the government is making me wonder if I *should* be spending that sort of cash.

At least I have a few months left to contemplate the answer...

Weapon: Sniper Rifle
I was on the fence about him for about 10 minutes. Then I really thought about it. Being a collector, I would like to have him just because of the size of him. But, I really only collect characters from the US G1 show, and he just doesn't fit in anywhere. Add in the expense and room to display him and he gets a big thumbs down.
Weird request here. If anyone has an extra Classics Skywarp or Dirge missile please PM me. I need one.

He was in the US G1 show, albeit briefly and only at the very end.

Same problem here.

Around the same time Fort Max comes out, Takara FOC Bruticus will come out too. Can only afford 1, and I'm leaning towards Bruticus.

Besides being the largest TF of all time, there's really not much else too it. The more I think of it, it's just like a giant Metroplex. >:oP

I'm in the same boat. I want Fort Max, but I also want to get a Ps Vita. I'm leaning towards the vita because I'll have the money by the end of this month.
