He was preordered on sight my biggest concern is if ehobby pull Grand Max out of the bag...

hI,
I recently bought Fortress Maximus before the Christmas holidays for £525 box included 100% complete. Think I got a bit of a bargain was originally going to get the reissue as that is out in April time. Might consider selling him on if I need to could be a valuable asset in the future.

Here he is:




Hope this helps anyone with your decision, he is absolutely massive twice the size of Scorponok and has lots of interesting features for a toy of this type. Would however recommend maybe getting the reissue as he is just too expensive even at the price I got him for. Will have to sell on my Menasor/superion and lots of other Transfoermrs to make room and whill be on EBay in February time.

Yeah me, too? I think that's the best strategy for such a big Reissue like Fortress Maximus.

well I bought him cause I felt he was cheaper than usual, not sure what you all think. I hadn't actually thought about the reissue one.

Trouble know that I have him a part of me doesn't like it. Not because of the price he just makes my scorponok look so small/crappy by comparison. He is tooo BIG!!! Scorponok is the best transformer ever to me. I remember when I got him when I was five years old.

I hate it.

I feel he was worth the price but I had "buyers remorse" a little and couldn't really "look" at him when he arrived as I had to go to my nans funeral and my cousins children were there so thats likely what the problem was.

Today I'm very glad I got him but still feel a bit iffy about it. He is and always will be my most expensive figure so he is going on display and I am going to use him a bit to justify the price.

Also I very nearly didn't get him in that the seller claimed one postage company was going to charge him £300P&P which is a laugh to be fair.

Don't mind too much buying expensive toys but want to make sure I balance out my account/spending habits next year so yes sadly 4 of my boxed TFs will go probably:

Menasor Giftset
Superion Giftset
All TFS I bought this year except Thundercracker (only need skywarp!)

I'm in the same boat with space. Couple of years ago when space wasn't an issue he was my top priority but just couldn't afford it back then. Now that the reissue is happening and much,much cheaper, the lack of space does concern me. However, I did preorder one from BBTS cause with his large size, you never know how the price will skyrocket if you decide to get it down the road.
