    I'm curious if they're getting tired of G1 just as much as some of us are.
    I'm surprised they never redecoed any of the Titans into other's. I wanted, what I thought was, the eventual MetroTitan from Plex, could have been a straight repaint, could have been an expensive exclusive but I wanted one. Now I'm not surprised we haven't seen a Grand Max, I highly doubt we will. :(

    Far enough, the only thing that disappointed me was how bland he looks. It took a few years for me to put the stickers on my Takara Metroplex but (the Hasbro one looks pretty good too) only a few hours after getting Max I HAD TO put the stickers on to give him some personality.
    Max has a Deluxe Headmaster and electronics (he technically has two guns as well but they don't count since they are his leg guns).

    Plex was $120 at release, everyone sold him for that price at release. Later he dropped to $100 and then $79 but by then he was very hard to find in what seemed like most of the country. Those of you who got him at $79 neglect that.
    I haven't seem Max at all in my area, but I haven't stepped into a Toys R Us in decades (not worth driving an hour and a half plus to one).
    Haven't seen him either in stores, but I lessened from missing out on Plex and ordered him right away. I got free Full Tilt Reprolabels from TCP too! :D

    I have a concern. Can cancellation happen with Metroplex that will be reissued in March 2018?

    I'm not tired of G1 at all. In fact, I'm glad that their focus is on G1, and I hope soon enough they make figures for the original cast as well as the rest of the movie characters. Hopefully Cliffjumper, or just any Mini-Bot in general, is announced by the end of the year. And for Metrotitan and Grand Maximus, I would happily buy those, even if they were only made by Takara and would end up costing more money. I also still need to get any of the Generations Metroplex figures in general.

    Couldn't resist. I love Marvel Fort Max, Shockwave, and Ratbat, and this issue has all three.

    Some areas outright skipped him. People that live in an area where every corner drug store orders 30 cases of every wave forget that.

    Err, yeah, I know. I am fan, I do keep up!

    I have that PO'd, but I want LG35 to go with my LG42 Godbomber which I had in my Private Warehouse as the EX version was announced. Besides, not everyone wants the combined set as chrome puts people off. A re-issue of a hard-to-find fan-favourite is good for everyone.

    OK. Like I said, Scourge was never released near me, so it's a moot point. Besides, I don't have the room to army build! I'd rather have one of each individual figure rather than take up space with multiples. (And yes, I'm aware of the irony having posted about wanting 2 Ginrai's!)

    Haven't thought of that.
    That is awesome of you.
    Marvel (and IDW) did have the coolest iteration of all three characters.

    I kind of wonder if my area (Denver metro area) just doesn't buy a lot of transformers toys, or what. Maybe that's why I've only seen one Leader movie Megs and a Black shadow as the "newest" TF items.

    Good question. I figure Metroplex has less of a chance of getting cancelled mainly due to the fact that Trypticon is on the horizon.

    It's a self-fulfilling prophecy though where stuff isn't ordered because it doesn't sell and then can never sell because it's never ordered.

    This area doesn't really carry anything larger than voyager class either. Very occasionally they will have _a_ leader but space isn't even allocated for titans.

    This sucks. How can preorders for Megatron be low? He is quite obviously superior compared to the Hasbro release. I was thinking of pulling the trigger on him since I missed Takara's first release. ugh..

    Probably because enough collectors got him when he came out, and part of the draw for the figure (based on Takara's advertisements for him) was as a surrogate for a Masterpiece Megatron in scale with MP-10 Convoy. Now that MP-36 Megatron exists, there is probably a lot less appeal to him.

    I suppose. Still a shame, though. Oh well. Still glad Metroplex is planned.

    Good point. Still I hope people will preorder Metroplex.

    My 'vote' was to buy them all the first time around so I wouldn't need to worry about not having them..

    So out of curiosity, is the LG Fort Max stock US stores like TFSource and Toy Dojo have some left over stock or are they the reissue that was mentioned canceled one?
