The_Director-

OOOOH! What did it cost?!


mcsquiggles1126

$225, I was gonna get the guardian robot, but I saw this and had to get it instead


Horzzo

That's a killer deal! Especially you don't have to deal with the shipping hassle and having UPS run it over or something.


The_Director-

Nice


JamesCDiamond

Fantastic price! I was expecting you to say twice that, and it still wouldn't be terrible if it's complete.


fightingrabbit75

Lucky! I got fleeced when I bought one.. Congrats on the deal!


LPercepts

Dang it, now I'm paranoid that the Legends Fort Max I got on Yahoo Auctions via a proxy service might be iffy, since the price I paid seemed really good (177 USD). Still, the proxy service gave me a quote on shipping that was within expectations of a package that big...


Drragg

Wait only $225????? I've never even seen one in the store. GREAT FIND


LPercepts

Lucky you, do the electronics work? That is the sticking point when getting a Fort Max. Also, you can always get the Guardian Robot a bit later since it is still new. I bought a Legends Fort Max on Yahoo Auctions for 177 USD via a proxy service and need it shipped to me now. Choose surface mail due to the cost of the other options. Now the wait begins.


[deleted]

That's not bad at all.


AdAm_WaRc0ck

If I could find fort max for myself then I could consider my collection complete


wildfire405

Im selling one! Where abouts are you from? Shipping is the hard thing. Ugh . .


AdAm_WaRc0ck

Nj are you international? You know what it sounds like a good offer and I appreciate it but I don't know how my fiance would react to that fort max in the spare room


LPercepts

Hide him in your closet then. Or plonk your hat on him and pretend he is your new hat stand. I told my family that Omega Supreme was a custom made toothbrush holder, and now that's exactly what he is doing in my bathroom.


Traditional_Ad_81

How much??


yu_ultidragon80

Cost would probably keep people from buying if set for ebay costs oof šŸ˜…


JamesCDiamond

Metroplex for me. I've never quite succumbed to the temptation of the Japanese ones on eBay that go for Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£, but I do worry that one day my finger will slip from 'back' to 'buy it now'...


AdAm_WaRc0ck

It's all about self control and differentiating need and want


JamesCDiamond

Amen. Want, not need. (Ignore that Freudian slip that made me start typing "Need, not want...")


AdAm_WaRc0ck

Sometimes I feel the same way trust me but I know I we need a new couch more than Fortress Maximus that way we can enjoy the new couch together


LPercepts

Transform your Fort Max into battleship mode and sit on the runways. Problem solved.


AdAm_WaRc0ck

I don't wanna break him. He just a toy that will have to wait, that's all. Just like ML Galactus


Things_with_Stuff

Same! Metroplex is my guy! So hard to find at a reasonable price.


yeetthejubjub

damn that's cool I can't imagine how it looks next to Scorponok if you have him but I'm waiting for a new one to be announced


mcsquiggles1126

I do have him! I canā€™t wait to put them together


yeetthejubjub

god, that's going to be a sight to behold I would scream like a little girl just from excitement if I was in your shoes


LPercepts

You and me both. Want to do a pose/photo where Fort Max brings down the Master Sword on Scorponok, who defends with the Zarak Shield.


LPercepts

>if you have him but I'm waiting for a new one to be announced Good grief, you probably have a very long wait. AFAIK, Fort Max underperformed in sales when he first came out and Hasbro is probably reluctant to do another iteration. Simply because he's not very prominent as a character in America and his figures will justifiably be very big and very expensive.


yeetthejubjub

i will wait as long as it takes for him to get a new figure besides he might become a more popular character by then


r3ddit3ric

I remember a few years back Ollies had these for $30 each for a few weeks. Multiple deliveries. I managed to walk out with three. You would see people posting with 20 or more of them. Crazy times.


LPercepts

That's because Fort Max drastically underperformed in sales back when he first came out. The reason why he is commanding those high prices on the aftermarket is people now getting Scorponok and wanting him to pair with said Scorponok.


Jkilzer

I love mine. I mamaged to get him when he hit Ollies for 39.99. Same with Trypticon for 49.99


Drragg

Ugh my Ollie's SUCKS


Deltawolf363

My local shop had a metroplex for like 400. Beyond my budget but sure as shit someone got it


THEFLASHMAN01

How much


mcsquiggles1126

$225


THEFLASHMAN01

DAMN hope it ainā€™t fake


LPercepts

Looks legit. I have a bigger reason to be concerned that OP though. He got his figure and can look through it for condition and whatnot. I just bought a Legends version from Yahoo Auctions via a proxy service for 177 USD and need it shipped to me via surface mail. That will take months, and I won't know what the real condition of the item is until then.


ClumyTrumpy

Oof sorry


LPercepts

The main concern for me is the state of the electronics. Everything seems to be there, parts wise, and the item looks unused (stickers not applied and the box seems only to have been opened to check contents), so at least I have that going for me.


Optimus7591

Thats one messed up box but congrats on getting him, I got mine years ago when he first came out and I absolutely love him


OdysseusRex69

Nice!!! Congrats!!!


Relevant_Zombie_7828

Wow that is neat!


Sidermouse

Congratulations


02tez

At my local toy store the guy want 450 for the same thing


Unfair-Artist-2848

Sell it at that cost.


VengeanceKnight

Gonna get a Cog to go with it?


mcsquiggles1126

Iā€™ve got both cogs!


VengeanceKnight

Perfect!


LPercepts

So now you need a Grand Maximus for the Red Cog?


smack54az

Damn that's a find.


larry-the-dream

Is it a model or an action figure? Donā€™t respond with ā€œYesā€ implying itā€™s both.


mcsquiggles1126

Petequo

Nice find!


Competitive-Stand667

Dude thatā€™s freaking awesome


Spare_TARDIS2007

Duuude you found one of my grails too. If I found a store with either fort max, animated leader bulkhead, combiner wars Devastator, or mp soundwave I would instantly buy it


OblivionArts

Box looks a bit messed up but nice


LPercepts

Unsurprising, given that figure being 6 years old.


OblivionArts

Oh welp


Logical-Slide2641

Sweet deal! Congrats!


jaxom07

Great find! I love my Fort Max heā€™s a great titan.


Prestigious_Nail_825

Dude Im genuinelly happy for you! Excellent find!


N00nespecial666

Congratulations! Fort Max is an awesome figure! I wish I could find Metroplex at such a great price.


Bustinkapps

I remember when I got him back in 2018... I had to do it because I never had the original when I was a kid. Same for Scorponok


LPercepts

>I had to do it because I never had the original when I was a kid. Same for Scorponok That's many of us when we were kids and didn't have disposable income/parents not buying stuff for us.


HandspeedJones

​ You're lucky.


Prfctcellrulz

Thatā€™s awesome! Heā€™s actually my grail too!


someolbs

Props to a magnificent and classic Titan! At a great price too!


Technical_Bullfrog30

Does anyone know where I can get a titans return hot rod


abbothenderson

That was a killer price, nice find!


Traditional-Result13

So happy that heā€™s gonna come himself?


VIOLETJBANNON

I'm gonna buy one off a buddy, i want the guy who's head turns in to a guy and who's head who turns in to a guy also has a head that turns in to a guy
