*sigh* There's something relaxing in being told the best thing to do is murder everyone. Not sure what, but HK-47 really is the greatest robot of them all.

£12 an hour? I think I'd work it too.
Go for it Pot! A mighty fine piece indeed!

I'm just a little sad that tfs got pushed back a bit by my lust for new guitar stuffs. I'm buying that beloved SG tomorrow, and hoping to get a nice new tuner, s pack of plecs (my current ones are falling apart for the gaps where I slide with em), a channel switch pedal, and straplocks. After that, I want to get a metal muff distortion/od pedal, a Jim-Dunlop talkbox and tube, dual-coil burstbucker and '57 pickups (upgrades for the sg), and some 20 ft leads.

And then for tfs I want Hybrid Convoy (THS 02), alt Skids, Henkei Grimlock, Classics Cliffjumper, THS galaxy convoy, and then animated and classics 2.0.

If I had a job, this wouldn't be just a pipe-dream.

no my friend just txt me an told me hes just got a very good condition hardhead, id never seen him before, but.....WOW :shock:

I really want reissues of the target/headmaster's (and that include fort max lol). So is there any actual difference between RiD fort max, and the G1 version?

Havn't bought any toys in ages but just ordered the TFClub Screamer set and a Wonderfest Dai Atlas. Strange that there's been practically nothing in Hasbro's output for the last six months that I've really wanted and it's just the scarcer stuff coming out of Asia that's getting me parting with my cash. I'd really like to track down the [i]Revoltech{/i] Shockwave and Magnus from the latest Wonderfest but those bad boys are going to be pricy.

I think that the colours on Brave Max are similar but not identical to Fort Max and that he came with less accessories, maybe missing the cannon? Brave and the Spychangers are about all that I'm missing from the RiD show Autobot line up.

id never heard of RiD until about 18 months ago so ive never even seen one of the toys

The galleries here have most of the RiD lineup I think. Go have a pokey-see (they might also be labelled car robots [the japanese name for the series]).

There's some good stuff to be had in there. I might go about getting a brave maximus further down the line, once I've got everything I'm currently chasing after.

RiD was the series that brought me back to TFs. The toys were really cool, especially X-Brawn (quite possibly the most poseable tf I own) - although there were a few repaints of G1 and G2 toys (ruination and the spychangers). So, I reckon the Fort Max toys will probably be the same.

If I recall correctly then Ryan hasn't done the Max varient galleries yet because they're too big for his lighting set up.

Fri Mar 07, 2008 12:37 pm

yeah, ive looked at that gallery a few times, i had bruticus as a kid so that one is pretty familiar to me. I loved the series though, it was great. I think i remember seeing ultra magnus on sale somewhere recently, ill go take a quick peek

Tangent has the right idea. We're all mugs for having actual jobs and paying taxes.

We need to mend our ways.

News Credits: 6 · Fri Mar 07, 2008 3:12 pm

I get nothing

Which is mainly why I've got so much back-buying to do...

Tan, give me your money. Or I'll stick you down a toilet with cement and leave you there.

Fri Mar 07, 2008 3:16 pm

Money sure is nice eh? *smells a huge wad of cash* ^_^

Which way up? And what brand of cement?

News Credits: 6 · Fri Mar 07, 2008 3:34 pm

Anyway you want, and standard cement with fish stuck in it

I sorta have a wad. It only contains £70, and it's going to me ma on sunday as part payment for my musical upgrade.

nyah, haven't bought the new one yet

But my current one does hold sentimental value...

We'll split it, at least, when I get it.

Tan's busy digging deep over here.

lmao nice one lol.

Yeah Tan, they do, and its not the first time ive seen prices that high. Tbh i bet some tosser will pick that up and save it for a few years and get even more for it. Id love them to reissue some of these TF's that are going for stupid money, just so they get back into the hands of fans

Sat Mar 08, 2008 9:33 am

TBH it al depends on how mush your willing to pay for some of these figures! personally i'm not sure how much more than £500 i'm willing to pay for any version of Fort Max!
