    My Great Shot finally dropped into my POL at BBTS. Don’t know if I should ship him now or wait to build up my loot first.

    Think I'm waiting until Grand Maximus, then I'll ship.
    I have several other things, including Jumpstarters in there already.

    I went ahead and shipped. I had Legends Gnaw and UW Baldigus in there too.

    I'm fine with shipping Grand Max by himself for another $4.

    I'm considering doing that as well, actually. I have more than enough (now) to ship what I have.

    Got my second Greatshot today. Ordered from Yahoo Auctions which was barely cheaper but thanks for your previous advice. Two is enough for me.

    Anyone want to trade a MISB Encore God Fire Convoy for a LG-EX Grand Maximus? Going to say upfront, trade is final, not responsible for QC issues since it's MISB

    Sweet! Glad I found this thread. :) 

    Did not need a lot of convincing, but will be picking up LG-EX Greatshot! :rock 

    Can anyone recommend a sword for Greatshot? and where to buy?

    Oh. Kind of glad this thread came up again. Been wanting to posit the notion that Grands missing Pretender shell could see a release if Takara were to pair it with a Grand Max recolor of Seige Cog.

    Mine is using the white version of these from the Sixshot kit.
    Dr.Wu DW-P31P Pink Ninjia Swords,In stock! | eBay

    Only did a quick search and couldn’t find a link for the Sixshot kit. But the pink versions look cool too.

    There is also the “Double Pole” set
    Dr.Wu DW-P34 Double-Pole kit Sliver version(sliver handle),In stock! | eBay

    Dr Wu has made many other swords that might work for you. Just search for those terms and most should pop up. Also the seller I linked both those items from, Uncle Billy, is very reliable.

    If I remember, I can try to take some pics when I get home from work this afternoon.

    This is the clonedroid one, a ko with retooling of the mmc version

    Here is the mmc version, the heads, chest, wings on chest, rhino head and flaps on the inner thigh were changed by clonedroid when they made their ko

    I'm in for that.

    Neither of Grand Maximus or Greatshot seems to have a written review thread in Feedback, if anyone fancies starting one:

    Thank you! :) 

    Those both look great. Prices aren't bad at all.

    I like this idea. I hope it happens. If we get Metrotitan, they could also have a pack with Metrobomb (retool one of the other Micromasters) and Metrogun.
