Steal of a Deal: Legends LG-EX Grand Maximus for $169.99 on BBTS

Ordered! Huge thanks to o.supreme and the news crew, this one would've totally missed me.

Just ordered MP Shockwave. Way too good of a price to pass up.

Now I have Soul Of Chogokin Gypsy Danger and MP Shockwave on order. I've never ordered from BBTS before, so would the delivery be pretty quick? I live in Florida btw.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully my first purchase will be a great one!

Well I just checked, and it seems Grand Max is sold out. Glad I did not hesitate. Now, previously I've seen Greatshot at 10% off, but I'm hoping that sometime in the next month, they'll do perhaps a bigger sale, so I can knock that one off the bucket list as well.

THAT is an excellent question....and the answer is NO. I fully admit my logic is somewhat flawed, but it makes sense in my head, as to what I believe is an *individual character*, although it does lead me down the path of getting more than the same deco on occasion.

It seems I've been talking about this concept, and making a video for 2+ years, but if I can get Greatshot and Big Powered before December, I'll probably do an initial version then, and a final version in early 2020 when I *hopefully* get Omega Supreme & Astrotrain.

Currently my Cybertron City is:

Fortress Maximus
Trypticon
Grand Maximus (on the way)

These 3 Titans will form a triangular formation, and all the *Leaders* will fill in the spaces in-between. Omega Supreme's eventual addition will make this more rectangular.

T30 Metroplex will be at the center of it all. Though he has no official connectivity, I couldn't leave him out.

Leader's
Soundwave (I cannot justify getting the BB re-release, as its *basically the same*)
Blaster
Sixshot
Quickswitch
Black Shadow
Overlord
PM Optimus Prime
Magnus Prime (I could not justify getting LG35 Super Ginrai or LG-EX God Ginrai, as it's *basically the same)
LG 42 God Bomber (see above why no LG-EX)
Primitive Optimus Prime (Yeah this one may seem inconsistent, but I felt it was different enough to warrant purchasing)

Mine will end up using all the same parts, plus the extra Bumblebee Soundwave, but I got lucky and found him on clearance for $13, so couldn't pass that up. I'll be going for a more asymetric design as it will have to fit on a pool table.

That Siege Wave 1 deal is making me

Paid full price for a wave 3 hound since I couldn't wait on my Ironfist custom.

Metrotitan would be awesome. Since I was able to get an original T30 Metroplex, I'm not sure what the Quality of the TT Legends EX rerelase from a couple years ago is. If there was a lot of degradation, or if it would be viable to re-release it again, with Metrotitan colors.

I'm guessing due to the small quantities they'd make... that he'd have to be as-is, no retooling. Still, guessing with the small quantities of runs — and the fact that there have been no repaints — that the mold would stand up fine.

Think about the seeker mold back in the day. They did like 13 or more recolors. Surely they could crank out a few more of this guy before the mold falls apart.

That aside, it seems like they have been making the molds to release his team and partners (micromasters and parts-forming guys). (ie. they're available) I could see them using that as incentive to 'grease the wheels' for collectors... knowing they would get matching team members in the box. Crossing my fingers.
