a US box Fortress Maximus?

[heroic_decepticon]

Didn't want to hijack the other Fortress Maximus thread in this section, so thought I would create another one. That other thread got me thinking about whether I should go after a US box Fortress Maximus.

I already have Fortress Maximus (in C-114 box), Grand Maximus (in C-311 box), Brave Maximus (in Jap box) and Brave Maximus (in Korean box), so getting the US box one would help me complete all variations of the figure... :D

Keeping in mind that I, for some reason quite unknown to myself, have not bought any G1 Transformers figure for the past year and a bit, do you think I should go for a US box Fort Max?

What do you think?

Hmm... after seeing the pics of your collection on your blog... yeah why not?

DAMN IT!

I was looking at this, asked the seller a question and bam, someone did the buy it now. US$400 for Fort Max with box. Damn it, damn it, damn, it....

Paul, you've gotta be kidding me... :(

[Vector Prime]

Yeah just kidding mate.... despite it being the 'Holy Grail' for most, it's of no interest to me at all. :p

haha... I was upset for a moment, mate! But I thought about it and realised that if I really wanted that piece, I'd've bought it without hesitation instead of asking the seller whether there was yellowing, the condition of the box and whether it came with its weapons or not.

That piece was not exactly C9.5 and complete, which according to myself (http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.com/2003/02/origin-story-part-iv-2003-to-2006.html), is a lot less appealing as an addition to my collection....
