I must admit, when I was jobhunting earlier this year; I kept saying to myself "think of Bruticus... think of Bruticus"

Welcome to the Transformers fandom. You must be new around here.
Ha ha, but seriously though, do you guys only eat ramen noodles, or have I been chatting it up with millionaires this whole time.
I almost got the sdcc version from hts but after shipping and taxes it was alittle over 200 bucks. So I got the basic hasbro one instead.
Some people here are rich. I have read people stating (true or not) about buying all kids of large amounts of 3rd party combiners, and other expensive stuff, even though they've got a house, kids, a partner and other expenses.
I can;t even afford a car, have no kids and have a reasonably paid job, but I still can;t afford half the stuff people buy here.
However, as I do live in Japan, I can get Fort Max and most Japanese TFs cheaper than most people (usually via Amazon Japan pre-order and sometimes at the wholesale price, but alas not this time).
Living here also gives me access to cheap ramen, yakisoba, sushi and hot Japanese girls and women.
But that, as they say, is another lawsuit/moderator comment/perma-ban...
Same here. At times it isn't the matter of choice but availability. In my case, I have no choice but a willing choice
And Leoking, stereotyping tends to limit your view of the broader scope of things. You don't have to believe everything what some members here type about their purchasing habits. As they say, even in journalism, only about 50% reported is actually truth, the rest are a figment of their creative imaginations.
The proof is that some might rant against the price of import TFs yet will purchase all sorts of figure lines other than TFs. It's like what? Why not just focus on a single line and save on the cash for more import TFs etc etc etc
That's right. Also, it might just be someone's only purchase for the year, out a work bonus, etc. It's silly to compare purchases with other people as we don't know anyone's circumstances.

Also, Takara, you can do it!

Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 1:39 pmPosted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 3:14 pmPosted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 3:36 pmJapanese Fort Max had different box art depicting him wielding his sword instead of a gun. And his Japanese fiction portrayals never had him using his toy's guns, as he was strictly a sword-wielding bot in Japan.Railbomb wrote:You know, thinking about it now I'm surprised Takara didn't give him a large rifle-type thing like he had originally and is actually on the U.S. box art.

Well... there's a big difference between retooling a voyager and some deluxes and retooling a titan
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 5:48 pmNot to mention that Takara are treating the Titan as a new ship/body for Fortress, so in that regard it doesn't have to be too close to the original.Kurona wrote:RiddlerJ wrote:Given all the discussion over Takara's remolding on the Technobots, it's a little strange they didn't do more to fix Fort Max.

They retooled Devastator and he was a titan.
