    And like that, the aftermarket price on Fort Max came crashing down.

    Probably going to get this, but I'm gonna wait until amiami, HLJ or Hobby Search put up a preorder for it.

    Yeah, BBTS is the only that have him listed. I expect TFsource, Robot Kingdom and a bunch of other retailers to have him listed by the end of either this week or next week.

    God damn. Fort max is my least favorite city/baseformer, but I don't think I can resist this.

    I checked Amiami, TFSource, Hobby Search, and HLJ- none of them have it just yet. I'm sure they will soon enough, but you can always cancel at BBTS later if you order now.

    For something this big, ordering domestically may actually be cheaper.

    Wonder if they will jack the price up ala Soundwave MP once they see preorders are through the roof, oops, I mean once they get confirmed pricing from TT.

    So glad my original one is boxed, not that I'd ever sell it.

    Think it's awesome that everyone else who wants one can have one now.

    I'm stunned. I can't believe Takara are actually reissuing something this big and expensive. A real boon for fans who have always wanted him!
