Well, at least we get to save more money, unlike FOC which it gets reversed one week.

So unless they were offering a limited "early bird" release, try to preorder it soon. Because this might see the fate that Predaking's first reissue faced.

So my hope with him is that you will be and neither and/or in the end.

Kuma, did they say anything else about any other potential 25th anniversary masterforce releases?

Sadly no. As we speak, Fortress Maximus is the only anniversary piece on account that it was their first exclusive series and it debuted in 1987. However, we might see a Pretender figure be offered as a "Generations 2013" exclusive.

Besides, if they did, I would love to see them reissue Metalhawk, Lightfoot, Super Ginrai, God Ginrai, and Grand Maximus (as an exclusive reissue). But I also hope they'll reissue Stepper and Artfire within the Encore line before they do.

Been waiting since '88 to get Fort Max another month won't kill me...

Simply more time for me to save up for them.

Booo! I was looking forward to getting Soundwave for Christmas!

For those of us who already paid for Soundwave this is a pain in the ass.

Thanks Kuma, I was hoping that Fort would've ushered in a release of Headmasters etc

Gosh. I . Did. Not. See. This. Coming.

Only the other day when someone told me I should buy him for myself for my birthday in I said he wouldn't arrive in time.

Re. Soundwave, in Homer voice, "extra month? But I want him now!" Yeah, I see the saving up argument, but seeing as how I've already pre-ordered Soundwave and Fort Max, I'd kinda like to get the fiscal pain over with as soon as possible. That said, particularly with Soundwave, if the issue is indeed one of ensuring all QC issues get sorted out prior to release, then take all the time you need Takara!

Only thing that makes me sad, I am already salivating with Pavlovian fervor for the next MP reveal, this may put it off by a bit.

Kinda bummed about the delay. I would really like that soundwave as fast as possible. I at least have the FP Deluxe Insecticons coming around holiday time to tide me over.
But i agree that if a wait on SW translates into better QC than (if that actually is the case) how could i argue.

You and me both. Quite honestly, up to this point, I had a huge wishlist that included Headmasters, Targetmasters, Pretenders, and a few others. But right now, I'm hoping that they will do something related to the Pretenders line as an exclusive for the Generations 2013 book.

Besides, I am not ruling out any thoughts of them doing a revival of a new Headmasters line. That, and I am hoping they will do something for the Pretenders line. Even though I feel bad for those who paid an extra $40 for the early bird option.
