Though for us in the US I'm not sure if it's still enough to cover our nasty shipping costs.

It is my favourite shop, it helps out international buyers who get customs fees when they import elsewhere.
And you guys are very lucky to have the option to buy from local importers instead who do the heavy lifting. For many of us worldwide, buying from Anime Export is the only way of getting it for a total price similar to what BBTS is charging you.fenrir72 wrote:Also, will Dinosaurer have batteries for a sound gimmick?
Is the catapult just gravity based? Or a spring powered mechanism?
Are you expecting an actual answer from anyone here?

I was under the impression from Toy Fair that this mold doesn't have electronics of any kind.

My assumptions for the moment as well. And it may be better off without the electronics. More budget for beef!
Several listing have a catapult listed, so who knows what that could be about.
And yeah, Fort Max really did disappoint. I got him for $106 and still think that was too much. Should've waited 3 weeks and gotten him for $75 from TFSource, that is a bit closer.
Cerebros was the only thing from that set worth having.

G1 Fortmax is still the best version. But this is not the topic forum to discuss his awesomeness

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I do hope no electronics for him (has that been confirmed for the Hb?). It severely limits game play and the added cost which isn't worth it.

Hasbro said at Toy fair that it has no electronics at the very least the Hasbro Titans Return version does not.
Deadput wrote:Perhaps Catapult is a renamed Brunt?
I could see Brunt a name being changed for copyright reasons plus Brunt has never Transformed so I guess it would be easy for Takara to just make a non Transforming tank as an accessory.

Probably the same reason Takara Galvatron is so pastel, or why their Brawn has a blue helmet, or why any other Takara figure has an otherwise show-accurate deco layout if not for one of the colors being an off shade: Someone at Takara probably needs to adjust the color of their monitors.Kurona wrote:So something I'm really confused about is why does Takara Hardhead have brown plastic in place of grey?

Actually it is.... somewhat ... accurate.
Hard head in the cartoon has a slightly brownish hue to the "grey" parts in comparison to other grays used on the show.
Notice the difference between his grey parts, and the gray on Chromedome's head or Highbrow's body. It is definitely brownish.
Takara's color choice may be pushing the brown a bit, but it is technically more correct, than straight up gray.

If your poop is tan colored like that, I think you should see your doctor.
The real mystery is with the pastel color Takara always thinks suits Galvatron, which matches neither the toy nor his on-screen appearance, yet it persists from toy to toy of him.
