Looking for Energon/ROTF/Universe Bruticus Maximus set...
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 9:09 amHi!
I recently purchased the FansProject Colossus add-on set. I had ordered a ROTF Bruticus set, but my order never arrived and I am getting a refund. So, basically, I'm after the Bruticus Maximus set.
Ideally I'd like all 5 figures, but I could settle for the centre robot, one of the tanks, and one of the helicopters (as that's the minimum I need to make the upgraded Bruticus). Like I say, I would prefer to have the 2 extra bots, but I could live without them. If you have them and are willing to part with them, include them. However, at bare minimum I need the torso bot (of course) a copter bot AND a tank bot. The kit won't work with 2 tank bots or 2 copter bots.
Colour wise, I would prefer the ROTF/Universe colours (the more G1 accurate, muted colour scheme) but if one isn't available I could settle for the Energon/Superlink colours. I would prefer the ROTF/Universe colours simply because they would match up better with the add-on component colours, but I still wouldn't mind the Energon/Superlink colour scheme.
If you have the ROTF/Universe version, then I would prioritize the olive green tank and grey and blue helicopter over the brown tank and beige copter (if you for some reason are only selling the centre robot and 2 limb robots).
If you have the Energon/Superlink version, then I would prioritize the dark green tank and purple helicopter over the bright green tank and orange copter (see above).
I don't particularly mind if it's the Japanese or Western versions of the toys, whichever you're more willing to part with.
I would ideally like the accessories, but this isn't a huge issue seeing as they will have their own weapons from the FP add-on anyway. If you have them and are prepared to sell them, include them.
I'd prefer that the figures are in good condition, I'm not bothered about getting mint-condition, spotless figures as long as they are presentable (so not chewed on, covered in jam, etc) and functionally intact (so no snapped pieces, missing limbs, you get the gist).
I would prefer that all joints on the figures are tight. I am happy to accept figures with joints that have been tightened with superglue, floor polish, etc. Slightly floppy ball joints I can deal with, broken ratchet joints I cannot.
I don't care about the original packaging, just make sure they're well protected and packed in transit.
I would prefer that they came with their instructions.
As for prices, if I'm getting all 5 I would put an absolute maximum price of £110 (with a preferred price of around £70 or so, obviously if you're willing to sell for less then go ahead!
). For the bare minimum (centre+copter+tank) I would put a maximum of £70, with a preferred price of £40 or so (once again, set your own price within the limits of common sense).
With regards to shipping, I live in the UK. I'd like to keep shipping costs as low as possible, so please don't send it in a gold-plated jet powered by saffron and plutonium! (In all seriousness, just send it via the most reasonable, cost-effective means possible-if there's a choice between a 3-week delivery for £5 and a next-day delivery for £20, go for the 3-week delivery)
I would really prefer to pay with PayPal-paying with a different method would be very difficult, also I'm a Paranoid Percy.
Also, I can't actually buy until the refund comes through from eBay, so feel free to make offers, but realize I can't purchase straight away.
Thanks!
