    I don't know your financial situation. I also don't know what else you collect outside of WST, but this can be yours if you save just under $60 a month (which you can further break down to about $15 per week) for 7 months. I'm aiming a little high because I factored in an additional $50 to cover the cost of S&H, which is just a guess at this point. This is also assuming that you pre-order it via BBTS. Who knows? This could be delayed by a month or two, which would buy you even more time. It'd also help if you put a temporary freeze on your other hobby-related purchases and squirreled away the money from sales on the boards instead of blowing it on something else.

    This is one of few Transformers that I have never owned, I got my pre order in as soon as I seen BBTS post on Twitter. Also got a pre order in on the MP-15 Ravage and Rumble set. Super excited about Fort Max though

    Say WhAT?!
    So I could have a transformer that normally costs over $2000 for just $350?


    On the one had: Its fortress fucking Maximus.
    On the other hand: Its two feet tall

    Well I've been thinking of consolidating my collection for quite some time now. This gives me motivation and direction for where I want my toys to go. It also gives me a huge window of time to save & sell at the same time.

    $350 is still a big investment, but there's time to plan. We know what we're getting for the price, and I think it's warranted.

    I CANNOT WAIT. I mean, I can wait, cause I ain't paying $50 to get it 3 weeks early.

    Never had one as a kid, think he was going for about $100 back then, given the number of years, $350 ain't bad.

    May have to take a loan out against the 401K! :D

    I would've vastly preferred Trypticon and at a more reasonable price.
