I'll admit that I'd be a little bummed if Grand Max is confirmed after I have Fort Max. I like Grand's colors more. Though, I want this mold so bad I don't think I'd be patient enough to not go ahead and get Fortress Maximus now even if they did go ahead and announce it, and I only plan on buying this mold once.

 

Oh boy! I pick the "slow" shipment at BBTS... now I need to wait one month.

And after my Fortress Maximus arrives at BBTS I will wait at least another month with the shipment to Brazil, customs clearance, etc...

I want it now  

 

yes! just got my invoice from etoyjapan!      
im sooo happy with the price! i paid total, with ems shipping ($77) $323! (only €253,-!!)
thats worth another 2 weeks waiting

now just hope i dont have the pay our custom here in Holland not that mutch  

 

Awesome deal! I paid around 400 for mine   But now I've forgotten about money spent as it all washed away upon opening my big package   

 

Nobody likes a braggart, dude.

 

Got my first half from HLJ yesterday, the other half has yet to ship despite requesting them to ship on Thursday...

 

can anybody provide a link to HLJ's fortress maximus order page, I'm am failing to find it via the search engine......

thank you in advance.

 

Here you go.

I'm starting to get a little irritated that mine hasn't shipped yet. I was totally understanding because of the holiday but now that I have heard there are a bunch of people who had them shipped last week or have already received them, I'm annoyed.

You have to look under discontinued items. This means they are sold out and they will not be getting any more.

thankyou.

odd as I searched for the correct name terms, I see its discontinued though!

 

HLJ sure is taking forever to ship.

Granted, the CC charge didn't even show up until yesterday.

 

Wow, they had a lot left only yesterday. Glad I got mine from there when I did!

 

JUST Got an email from BBTS that they have processed my order!!! Yay! Aaaaannnnnxxxiiieeetyyyyy!!!

 

C'MON TFSOURCE!!! I need this in my life. NEED.

 

U waste money on the early air order or the normal sea shipping?

 

I was too slow and missed out. I would've liked saving $20-30ish while getting it earlier, but oh well.

I just assumed the shipping cost would be so prohibitive that it would wash out any savings on the retail price offered. That was my mistake.

 

Did not get your question right.....waste?! well i would say invest, i know it is extra money but the way the scalpers are now a day, and with HLJ now been "discontinued" I do not regret it, who knows and suddenly they won't get enough for the late shipment and increase the price, look at all the encore stuff, everything now a day is double the original price, and fortress in particular will not be the exception, collectors have been waiting for this for a loooooong time so I prefer sacrificing 50.00 now than later regret not paying them.

 

Early air? It's a waste, can't think of one good reason to justify it really.

They had the lower price on the regular orders and most of the good dealers stateside(your location says Miami) do not have issues fulfilling preorders like HLJ routinely has and does, so its hard to justify supplies running out because they once again probably under ordered or ordered the bare minimum again.

If u want to "invest" I can come up with a list of things better than Transformers  

 

U MAD BRO? Do not, I can afford those 50 extra, so I spend it how I like, thanks for your financial advise.

In another note, I prefer buying from national stores, and here is a good reason to "justify" what I do not have to......I do not want to wait.

 

  Not at all. Would rather have the $50 for the next Masterpiece coming out.

I shall sit here patiently with my thumb in my bum waiting for the regular folk sea shipment to come in
