The Brave Maximus Owners Club that is.

I know he's no Fortress Maximus but hell, I won't complain.

I knew he was big too, but I never quite grasped just HOW big he was until I slid him out of his box. Which btw, he's 100% complete MIB.

The dilemma now is what to do with him. I don't exactly have the space to display him, add to that a 18 month old nephew who wanted to tear the box to shreads the second he saw it.

I did have an idea to build a nice display case just for him, but it might just be a little expensive now. :shock:

Congrats. Welcome to the tribe.

It's kind of liking having a really fat kid.

Who knows what to do with em? but they sure are fun to look at. :grin:

He is the centrepiece of my 'general' collection as pictured. He takes centre stage simply because he is so damn big! I have room to display him in his glory. As for your display I feel for you. It is going to be tough to decide where to put him honestly.

Actually my idea for a display case was timber top, bottom and back with perspex (glass would be TOO expensive) sides and front.

To make it that little bit extra cooler I was going to have a raised Autobot emblem painted red, with bevelled edges for the white border.

Just waiting to hear back from my cabinet maker friend on prices and stuff.

Still wouldn't solve the problem of WHERE i'd put the case though.

Given the number of TFs I have if I were to display all of them out of box I would be utterly inundated like the towns along the Thames in the UK (no harm intended). Easier to display and stack in box. I prefer MISB displays as the box is as important as the figure in my mind. Different yolks for different folks.
