    Since the mold isn't cold, i expect Grand Maximus & Brave Maximus reissued before it's all over.
    The real question is will we get the sword?

    Pre-ordered him like no tomorrow.

    I'm hesitant to spend over $300 on a transformer, but not when it's Fortress Maximus, I mean heck, he's the holiest of holy grails, and he's MASSIVE.

    Can't wait to get him next year.

    hmm, I already have him---but still really excited to get a MISB one to go on display! Hopefully they keep the G1 style box and not do what they did with Predaking and SixShot.

    Pre-ordered!

    Grand Max, don't you DARE be a TFCC exclusive....

    But $350? For a brand spanking new Fort Max? Can't say no to that. That's been like the DREAM for so many folks. I'm glad it's being realized after so many rumors / pranks / etc.

    This is a good chance for the young 'uns to experience the awesomeness of G1.

    Cool. Preordered him. Saw an incomplete one at Coil Con and it was pretty cool, but saw a complete original was mega bucks. $350 not too shabby.

    LOL - I hadn't even considered that. I wonder what this will do to the price of a G1 Fort Max. Maybe I can afford to replace my ramps now. LOL
