No longer will fans who missed out on this classic (and huge) toy need to settle for redecoed versions. Takara is reissuing one of the most expensive Transformers toys ever!

This is awesome! I rather pay $400 for a reissue than over $2,000 for a vintage boxed one. Plus this might increase the chances of a Grand Maximus reissue too.
Preordered even though I will probably cancel. But BBTS is charging me $103 in postage![]()
I'll keep my vintage one. It's one of the few vintage G1 Transformers I have still!

Already pre-ordered mine along with MP Ravage and Rumble cassettes. You better too, Sandy, if you know what's good for you!

Wow, he's the only Headmaster I don't have... Not sure I will partake though, as the postage to the UK alone would be a kick in the nuts. I'd sooner they re-issued the smaller G1 stuff (Stunticons.... STUNTICONS!!!).
Obviously Sunstreaker is off the table, but he's the only one of the original Ark crew I'm missing (bar the shoddy knock-off I have).... An original in mint condition is my 'holy grail'.

Although it might seem that Grand Max would be sure to follow, he might not. This is going to cost a fortune to produce. Fortress Maximus is highly demanded by just about every G1 TF fan out there. But not all G1 Transformers collectors care about the Japanese exclusive Transformers. Even though Takara is releasing this for the Asian market, they know full well that tons of the Fort maxes being sold will be resold to TF collectors around the world. Grand Max just doesn't have that same level of appeal as Fort Max to many collectors. I'm not knocking Grand Max, he's the absolute holy grail of my entire toy collection.
My Fort Max is one of the few toys from my childhood which managed to stay with me when my mom threw out almost everything. I had to get another Fort Max to gear him up as mine was missing most of everything. If I didn't already have this guy, I would drop collecting absolutely everything to buy this reissue if that's what it took.

A journey that began long ago in a place neither near nor far…
A story of heroes, passed down through the ages…
Until now.
This is our story. These are our heroes…
Preordered. Encore TFs are the only TFs I collect(but missed out on the now super expensive 15 and 16). It will be nice to finally have a FM.
BBTS just sent me an e-mail announcing a $20 drop in price in my pre-order for Fortress Maximus! It keeps getting better and better!

Will he have the same box as the old one?
Will he be great as the old one?
