I more than half hope I get outbid.

Edit 2 min later: Crap crap I'm still winning. /panic!!

Edit 43 seconds later: OH damn, how the hell am I going to hide this monstrosity from my GF? She KNOWS that Maximus is big bucks.

On a brighter note, woohoo, I've wanted one of these MIB for a while now. Just wasn't ready to take the plunge just yet.

I got one MISB for $175, shipped from BBTS when he came out in like 2003-4-ish.

He has a day job and cuts the grass for me outside. He also scares my Husky.

He is ****ing HUGE! You will NOT understand until you own him. Stand MP Prime, G1 metroplex in front of him. He laughs at their lack of hormones during puberty.

Aparently, Brave Maximus drank more milk than all of the other Transformers growing up...

He stands tall in front of MP Megatron, and Megatron whinces in fear like a little *****.

He is just over 2 FEET tall, from foot to the top of his head.

He is my centerpiece, and well worth the price you might just have to pay. But don't pay more than $300+shipping.

Oh yeah, shipping is $$$, as he weighs a metric ton.

Totally agreed. The sheer size does not hit home until you see him DWARF the MPs. Put MP Prime, G1 Prime and Max together and then it really hits home.

I just sat him on my coffee table and stared at him for like 30 min. Worth every penny. Came to 278 including shipping, so not too much of a premium fter a couple of years, luckily.

Hmm...

My girlfriend bought me Takara Reissue Super God Ginrai, Takara BW Reissue Optimus Primal & Hasbro reissue BW Cheetor, Dinobot and Rattrap

So she's pretty familiar with the prices of these things

But congrats on Brave Max:)

A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE TO EVERYONE FROM ZOD CONVOY:

Maximus is, for lack of a better word, the manliest Transformer in the world. Every one should own one. Seriously, save your money, don't buy any Movie toys (don't worry they'll all still be there until marked down) and buy a Fort, Grand or Brave Max. I suggest Brave as his colors are best. The tower looks like a building at night and adds a real sense of skyline. And the Megatron Megabolt looks good on him for an added Decepticon threat. Seriously, you will not be let down. And you won't have to complain about the crappy Bayformers. Seriously I have Barricade, Bumblebee, Jazz and Wreckage and the only one that didn't let me down is Frenzy, the radiator from Hell.

I've heard that Megs can sit on the Max as a replacement head if you pull off his legs. Anyone got pics of that?

BTW, didn't realise just how BIG that fool is before that pic with teh MPs. Just on ething to say to that:

:shock:

QFT

It is just so true, every word of what you wrote. After I bid on mine, I paniced at the amount of cash. Then when I got it, I remember thinking, if I had to sell every TF I had so that I could buy one Brave Maximus it would have been a greeat decision.
