A very reliable source - who will remain unnamed, as I don't know specifics of what he/she/it could reveal about it - said that Fort Max is entirely a logistical issue. He has a Huge box, one that easily fills up 2 or 3 times the storage space that any other TF needs. Compare a deluxe box or even a carded box with Fort Max's wardrobe-sized box and you'll understand. One Max will have to draw in as much profit as a dozen deluxes to justify the warehouse space required to store Max before release. Similarly, if he is to be mass-produced, retailers will have to set aside rather large displays for him.
If TT can overcome these slight logistical problems, then, yup, FORTRESS MAXIMUS WILL BE RELEASED!!!!!
I don't buy it. The size is irrelevant. Other current brands have playsets with huge boxes, namely LPS and My Little Pony, especially around x-mas time.
Isn't hasbro going to release a Shield Helicarrier that is like 3 feet long? That things gonna have a good size box.
I really don't get it with all the excuses we get now days. The draw used to be to be the kid that got a toy in a huge box. Geez, I bought my daughter Biscuit for x-mas one year
That thing is the size of a mid size dog. No way FM box would be bigger than that.
