    I watched the stream that godot posted earlier, @PrimalFury & @dragontype, and there wasn’t any suggestion of cost or time frame.

    I’d also suggest maybe leaving him in your dining room to hold up a platter of condiments and seasoning, or maybe use Fort Max as a really big pencil holder or maybe a cable organizer in your office! :D 

    Ahw! <3

    First WarFrame on Switch ate most of my life, and then moving and getting situated zapped the rest of my time.

    But, I’m back now... for the foreseeable future! :p 

    Nice. As to be expected, Decibel and Legout are more my speed, and I’d maybe even get two of each for Dino and Bot modes, though I’m not sure I’d do the same for Slamdance or Squawkbox.

    Also, since I saw what looked like Slugfest, I’m gunna guess Overkill can’t be too far behind, eh?

    Finally, I should maybe just get some iteration of the Star Saber off eBay or here on the BTS board, since it has a 5mm handle, but I still want to see some company show it some love.

    And, after all, that will happen someday what with the various Armada Primes in development.

    Even then, I still kinda want DX9 Wavey to wield the Star Saber, but I guess IF Wavey 2.0 probably could wield the original blade, too, since I think it’s safe guess to say the IF SW 2.0 will have 5mm hands.

    I assume he means saved money to buy Fort Max instead of wasting it on the Unicron. That would make a lot of sense for people who can only afford one.

    Fingers deeply deeply crossed they do Fort Max's head as a separate figure so I can fulfil my deepest Headmasters dreams.

    Gonna say what everyone else has been saying, this panel is getting more and more boring. Same reveals from ages ago aside from the Fans Toys stuff. ...I'm not sure if I should even get hyped for their Fort Max, FT has been dropping the ball a lot on QC lately. Really hoped for more. Maketoys, TFC, show me what you have! MMC, give me moar Reformatted! Iron Factory... Uh... Show... Up...?

    Remember when panel reveals revealed a lot? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

    1000 is a stretch....under 700 is more plausible

    If you think about just his head for example, its the same size as their $150 bots, so there's already 150 in just ahead, then you think about the size of the limbs and engineering, and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes over 1k.

    We went through a similar discussion when terminus Giganticus was announced. Most people assumed it'd be around 600 and it was slightly over half that. Now Ft may WANT to charge 1000 but i think if you look at the market people are gonna wannna see 40a around 130-150. I think they charge 500 USD for just a big body TOPS. there will also probably be minimal diecast in this thing. Theyll even hollow certain bits out to keep weight and cost down.

    Should it? Terminus and its redeco were basically $350 retail in the US (at least the all-in-one releases), at 21 inches tall and about two feet tall to the top of its tracks/wings. Unless this thing is well over four feet tall, is about another foot and a half justifying three times the price of their Omega, and almost twice as much as Hasbro's crowdfunded Unicron (a price that caused plenty to balk at already)?

    If this were, say, TFC, I could see it costing that much. I realize the Aerialbots and Stunticons, and other MP combiners, clock in around $550-600, but those are a bit more complex in what each component needs to do. Many 3P MP-type figures have done a good job of approximating or even coming in lower than Takara MP prices, despite presumably lower product runs.

    There is no dx9 version whoch caised the price to drop, it was originally closer to$450- $500 altogether. You're looking at aboufalmost $700 for a combiner, with no competition theyll charge as much as they want, they have that type of loyal base who most likely would be willing to throw a $1000 total.
