Wish that was possible though but in order to do it, the new Fortmax should have a hollow "calf"

It finishes playing, my daughter says "Woooo! More Headmasta!" That was my selling point on getting the Takara version of Fortress Maximus to my wife this morning

Japanese theme songs make you do crazy things WJ, that's how they get you sucked in!! I'm wondering what the conversion policy and stuff is on the credit card/PayPal. Why can't I just pay money and it happens?! I'm going to check it out, thanks WJ!!william-james88 wrote:You surprise me Cram with this trial to import from japan when buying from TFSource is only 20$ different. But I welcome you trying to branch out. The place that actually makes you pay everything up front (including shipping so no surprises) is Nippon Yassan: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/17 ... ximus.html
He's 143$ at this moment and with shipping he would probably end up less than 200$, so thats the best price out there and you pay all at once.

Conversion is 2% on paypal. All options come out to about 200$ Nippon Yassan lets you just pay it all.
Also, I see what Takara is doing with their rewing, but by having the eyes and mouthplate so big, the red ends up looking like outlines around his eyes rather than the actual colour of his face. They really shouldnt try to apply show colours on toys that arent the actual show models:
I'm REALLY hoping for a Fortress deco as well!MemphisR56 wrote:I'm holding back on any pre-orders on this until I see if the Tak/Tom version has retooled Cerebros into Fortress.
I already sorta know they're gonna, but you can never be sure!
I'm also going to have a serious think about if I even *want* to explain preordering this beastie to Mrs.Memph and paying for the release the same month little MiniMemph arrives.

Well, Takara hasn't shown any pics of Fortress (Cerebros) or Cerebros (Spike/Emissary) yet, so whether or not Fortress has a new face like Hardhead, Skull, and Weirdwolf, we won't know until they finally show us Fortress and Cerebros.william-james88 wrote:MemphisR56 wrote:I'm holding back on any pre-orders on this until I see if the Tak/Tom version has retooled Cerebros into Fortress.

Congrats on the upcoming kid. And I dont think Takara will have any retooling, just different deco. If there would have been cool new tooling, they would have been totally showing it off like they did with Devastator.

Thanks guys! Well, they're reportedly going to be very tall actually! but I seriously doubt they'll dwarf fort max.AND CONGRATS ON DE BAYBAY!! MiniMemph SHOULD be smaller than Fortress Maximus length wise (or that's a LONG baby!) but will definitely outweigh him!!
That they haven't shown Fortress or Cerebros still feels like they're holding something back, though. If they left Fortress and Cerebros unchanged, why hasn't Takara just shown them yet?MemphisR56 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Well, Takara hasn't shown any pics of Fortress (Cerebros) or Cerebros (Spike/Emissary) yet, so whether or not Fortress has a new face like Hardhead, Skull, and Weirdwolf, we won't know until they finally show us Fortress and Cerebros.william-james88 wrote:MemphisR56 wrote:I'm holding back on any pre-orders on this until I see if the Tak/Tom version has retooled Cerebros into Fortress.

I think Weej has a point. @TFYuki is well documented at waving his designer penis whenever there's retooling to be had and they need to steer people away from buying the Hasbro version.
We knew about Takara blast-off being in the pipeline before the US version had even hit the shelves and here we are now 5-6 months later and it's not even out yet.

That was what I decided to do. When I realized that BBTS was selling both the new fort max and encore fort max at less than 20$ difference, it was an easy decision.

Yeah...G1 has more play-ability, a better city mode, and I'm not sure if PE Warden will work with the new Fort Max...by the way, about what size figure works in Fort Max's elevator and stuff? Legion? Legends?

Legion. Beast Hunters Legion Prowl works well. Also, the G1 probably has a more involved Transformation than the new TR one. I just love forming that central tower.
