This was possible (just barely) to resist before, but now... I will most likely be getting him even though I don't have, and don't want, the G1 Fort Max reissue

Most people get into G1 through a few small purchases here and there, and work their way up. Imagine if YOU got into G1 by purchasing the holy grail as your first G1 figure ever.

I got out of collecting G1 10 years ago, not that my G1 collection went that far Add to that Fort Max was never a grail for me because I never watched the fourth "season" until the DVD box set was released a few years ago.

As cool as Fort Max is with this guy as his head, when I spend $300+ on a toy, it needs some articulation.

Site bugged out (again!) and double posted after one click on the submit button

That's basically why I don't collect G1 - dynamic pose-ability is so important these days.

Grr! Double post.

Now that BBTS has him on sale (temporarily) he is very tempting. The one thing holding me back is the lack of knee joints

Got a few days to decide, lets see if I can hold off, because once the sale ends he wont be tempting anymore

Indeed! I considered Fort Max for a hot second, but I'm prohibited by:

(1) space
(2) the likelihood of Metroplex in my future
(3) my (some might say unfortunate) financial commitment to 3rd parties in the form or preorders

Whenever a huge sale like this happens, I check eBay. Sure enough, a MISB Fort Max reissue can be found for about $250, so I'm not worried if I change my mind later.

I've always got to consider these two myself.

Didn't even think of eBay, but prefer BBTS normally. That helps to put FM on the back burner. Thanks for pointing it out!

Edit: going over prices and shipping costs, nothing beats the BBTS sale price with PoL shipping...

Oh, the joys of Outback Living.

Tell me about it

Thanks for the tip regarding the sale. Fort Max hasn't been on my must have list. But for that price it is very tempting.

RK has it at $119.90 until January 1st 2014, and then goes to $129.90.

So the H-tank is a seperate vehicle that can be ridden by his Headmaster?

NEAT!

Also, it's available for preorder @ BBTS for 150.

Doesn't seem like there's any early bird pricing. And at more than twice the cost of an FP Headmaster, I might have to pass him up.

It's $150 over at BBTS....oh, you guys got it covered!

$150 is a little steeper than I was hoping. RK+ shipping will be close. I wonder if BBTS will lower the price.

Aw, screw-it. Preordered.

Pre-order is in and I wish it was $20 - $30 cheaper, but there is a lot of plastic there, so what the hell

I'll preorder this... still deciding if i really want it. I wish his horns are longer

TFS at $149.95

KapowToys has it for £109.99 - http://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/perfect-effe ... -in-1.html

This guy is epic all those modes and add on parts and the robot still looks Fn awesome! the price however i don't want to pay anymore than £90 to be honest it's not like he is the size of hexatron and i paid £120 for him , but i guess he's gonna cost around
the same price

This is looking to be quite a kibble-y figure. I suppose that's the price you pay for what appear to be working tank tracks, but they are a bit of an eyesore. I wish the cannon was less of an accessory as well. It'd be daft if the cannon can't mount directly onto the scout tank. It'd make the perfect mounted gun for Max's robot mode.

The main figure is still looking awesome though.

Need money. Need money.
