    brave max's price has been on the rise lately, looks like you scored a decent deal IMO. I sold the korean version of brave max for 575.

    not bad price at all. i bought my loose one for 220, so what you paid seems right around the price range w/ the box and all.

    Holy crap, has the price on him really gone up that much? I remember when I bought him between RiD and Armada and I got him brand new in the box for $120. Yowza.

    Hehe, I just got Brave Max through ebay too (and have received him). I'd say that price is ok but not great but indeed his price has been on the rise lately. I got mine (Korean) w/out box but w/ instructions, pretty mint except dust, for $215 (plus $40 shipping). I saw but missed a Jap one with box but opened for $240 but it was BIN and went within 2 hours.

    So I'd say he's not quite worth that much but people are starting to buy him up as if he was vintage Fortress Maximus (prices like $400-600 just seem silly to me) so it will probably be worth that soon enough (seriously do some people think they are buying Fort Max w/ these $500-type prices lately?)

    i dont have any right now cuz my megabolt is in storage, but i missed an auction that had a complete brave for 175 BIN that had a fort max door swapped for the ugly neon green one and a megabolt megatron with it. I saw it and by the time i went to check my bank account and come back it was gone!

    So i broke down and bought one of the last few korean boxed braves on ebay, over payed but i was sick of getting into bidding wars on any kind of max. This was like 2 years ago. Since then I got the repro guns and megabolt and the upgrade sticker sets from reprolabels. HE is the ultimate hybrid max lol If i ever find a cog and gasket

    yeah the megabolt is in perfect proportion. Try to get the red/ purple one i know theres like 4 color variations on him. The rubber legs hold him in place, and bend without permanently warping them. I heard somewhere that the whole reason megabolt was re released in RID was because he was supposed to be an alternate head for brave max.
