    I'd rather them work on a diff MP than soundwave. That third party has a pretty good looking proto of an mp size soundwave and blaster. Rather they do galvatron and Megs/

    Until third parties stop snapping at their heels, this is the way it's gonna be. The slight irony here is that now 3rd parties are going to have to be more quiet about what they're up to.

    Oh Takara, did you hear those rumors about 3rd party MP Dinobots : -?

    Except by the time TakTom gets around to making a MP Soundwave the 3rd party one will have been out for forever.

    I hope it's true that Takara will be coming out with a MP Soundwave.

    And hmm, Encore Fort Max. Likewise, I hope it's true they're coming out with that reissue. It would be nice to have a complete Fort Max...

    Unless Takara does

    A: Beat the release date on the 3rd party version. If they can't have it out by Oct (the announced release date so far ) then peopel will bite and buy up all the 3rd party version anyway. Thus defeating the purpose of trying to crush the company.

    B: Show images, have it look much better than the 3rd party's AMAZING version, have a solid release date that is not too far from Oct 2012 and beat the price of the 3rd party version.

    All you will get is a bunch of fans with 2 MP SW's at the end of a day and a 3rd party company that grows more powerful due to selling out on this figure.

    I'm infinitely excited about the idea of owning a Fort Max without having to sacrifice a couple of car payments. Having a vehicle is highly underrated!

    Atleast I'm not the only one who sees the folly in tak doing soundwave. And that 3rd party soundwave is pretty damn G1.

    I don't think they will do Sw. And saying we'll look into it ... might as well be saying not gonna happen. Until they say its in under development. Don't get ur hopes up!

    I've been in the market for a Fort Max since finally seeing one in person at Botcon last year. I've come very close to getting one several times already, but still waiting on the right deal.

    I would love to get an Encore Fort Max. That would be pre-ordered as soon as it went up, and I'd probably pre-order multiples. I'd love to get a minty fresh FM. This has some great potential. But yes, we'll have to wait for an official announcement before getting truly excited.

    Hmm, 30th anniversary, so we're still looking at 2 years away in 2014 then.

    I bought RID Fort Max last year, not sure if I can even re-sell him to buy the reissue. I hope if they do release it, we get more repro-parts. I always wanted the master sword and the little drone thing.

    Given how much they're asking for Sixshot I think Fort Max would cause heart attacks.

    Nice thinking but it'll have to be seen. I would place money on an Ehobby Grand Maximus though that would sell out very quickly.
