So this was your plan all along - you didn't go to Japan for any other reasons. You went so you wouldn't have to pay import prices!

You got a bunch of upside down figures? You should ask for a refund.

Went to Walmart on a whim and snatched up these guys. Legends and TMs were the only size classes they had for Wave 3.

And Ptero did scan at checkout.

I hear ya, especially for a catch up listing, but it didn't happen.
Next large round, if i fall behind again, pics will be handled.

And yes to Max, if finagled at a good price.

Found me a Kickback while out hunting during lunch today. With any luck I can find a few Gnaws on the way home.

Well, never say never.

So, BAM!

Thanks to some mad clearance sales at TrU, I scored myself TWO TR Fortmax!

That's in Canadian dollars by the way.

Now, if someone will to take the second one and half the bill... ;;)

Well, I did a bit of looking around: A1toys in the UK has SDCC fort Max for £99,99 now!! And some Platinum sets for great prices too! (Conehead seekers £24,99 - Insecticons £19,99 - Perceptor+Blaster £24,99).
So I grabbed 2 Fortmaxxes and the 3 Platinum sets. I'll sell everything except 1 Fort Max, and earn some money back. Won't break even, but at least Max'll be cheaper!

Too bad they didn't have that cool G1 dinobot repaint Platinum set for those low prices. Now THAT one I'd have kept.

Funny enough, I was just talking about that set to the site owner and we both agreed it was a very nice set. I am quite fond of it, especially since it surpasses the SDCC toys by having new heads and was priced way less.

I had no idea I wanted them but the heads did it all for me! Especially for the reduced price.

The results of a 3 hour hunt:

And here is my haul. whats the digimon toy? It looks like it can transform.

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 8:30 pm

That Digimon toy is Digivolving Birdramon (get it? Bird? Dragon?), and it can indeed convert between two forms. The form it's in now is called Garudamon, after the birdman of Hindu myth (yet is styled after the wrong kind of Indian). That form is the better of the two, as the other is nothing to write home about to say the least.

Glad to have been of service! Who can say no to a 130$CAN (all included) Fortmax?

Also, is that a RID voyager prime I spy with my little eye? Found a a thrift shop? Nice find! Even if the gun is obviously missing.

And a chicken tenders sub with boom boom sauce, ranch, onions, Parmesan cheese, shredded cheese, and old bay.

Oh and PrimeStrong is a really fun figure. I'll post some pictures in the Den later tonight. There are some real gems here

Yup, found at renaissance. I thought it was the first edition at first but oh well I don't own this one either. And while he didn't come with the gun, he did come with the sword!

Nothing of importance was lost. Beside, the fact that he came with the sword AND it's unbroken is a little miracle in itself.

BTW, have you played with Fortmax yet? I stickerd him up and MAN does he look awesome! The "vehicle mode" is sad and the city mode is passable but can't hold a candle to the G1 original. I'm also a bit pissed that he don't even come with a giant gun. A 3p upgrade kit is needed.

However, the bot mode is worth the price of admission alone. Man, compared to the TR, the G1 look "Dany-de-Vito-ish". This is a bot that stand tall and who command respect. Even more so than the Metroplex original.

I would have been pissed to have paid the original 264$CAN total. But at 129$CAN total, I would have been a fool to pass it up.
