I'd like a Fortress Maximus
Somewhere along $400 range would be nice, 90% complete would be good
he who brings this toy to me will have their name enscribed in my will, the way my asthma is going i shall be gone by next month, alas
Ohhhh the jap one would also be good, who doesnt like big red swords
:)Don't hold your breath at that price, from what I've seen on ebay recently Fort Max has severly increased in price. I think a 90% complete Fort Max goes for about $600 U.S now but that is of course affected by condition and parts missing. If you have to buy Spike seperate I have seen them advertised for between $125.00-$175.00 U.S. Thank goodness I picked mine up about 6 months ago for $75.00 U.S. Good luck Roller;).
What would you be willing to pay for a body only?
Ramp mechanism works, one wrist, one leg and one waist gun missing. No accessories.
I'd say around $60 Jay
Most of the value in a Fort Max is in two components, Spike & Cerebros.
Like all Headmasters, without the head (or 'heads' in this case) it devalues considerably.
I want a fort max for $50 misb LOL!
You better hope Santa's in a generous mood come Decemeber! :)Quote:

If you can't afford to buy an original one, I'd be a little patient and wait for the inevitable reissue. Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme are already announced, and Takara still has the mould for Fortress Maximus, though it might come in Brave maximus colours.
I certainly prefer the colors of the RiD version of Fort Max. Darker and more citylike IMO. :)
I concur with prefering Brave Max colors but I still prefer G1 colors for nostalgia reasons.
Brave Max totally has better colours than Fortress Maximus. But Fortress Maximus is cool simply because he is Fortress Maximus!
It's the same reason why I also like my Powermaster Optimus Prime toy despite the fact that Super Ginrai is an inherently better toy - as cool as Ginrai may be, he's just _not_ Optimus Prime. ;)
I much prefer God Ginrai. It helps that I love Masterforce!
Oh and Brave Max has gooder colours, but gee I wish he came with the obscenely large handguns.
When it comes to Power Master Prime, I knew that Ginrai was considerably a better toy than PM Prime (chrome, retractable fists, Die cast). However I was only interested in getting Power Master Prime toy for the character but I wanted him with the Takara upgrades.
I knew that I couldn't just buy a Ginarai and pretend he was PM Prime as that doesn't ring well with me since they are radically different characters so what I did was buy the Hasbro commemorative reissue of 'Power Master Optimus Prime with Apex Armor' which is identical to Ginrai (except for Apex Bomber's elongated missile) which is officially a toy representation of Power Master Prime.
That was a win win there for me since I didn't really care much for Apex Bomber so his elongated missile was a bit irrelevant to me and I don't display him with Apex/God Bomber armor.
Also on close inspection of the missile, it can be modified and 'shrinked' to normal size.
Oh, I absolutely agree that Ginrai is the better toy by a long shot. What I meant was that I prefer PM Prime as Optimus Prime, similar to how I prefer Fortress Maximus as Fortress Maximus - toywise Brave Maximus is the nicer one.
Bring on Apex Armour Time Warrior! :p
thought id try my luck since its holding toy wise:D
recently ive crossed off G2 Starscream, G1 Thunderclash and BM Primal Prime from the regret not buying list
ohh have you guys saw the Crystal Maximus before?
ask Demonac...
Missed out on a MIB Fort Max that went for US$1100 on ebay just last night. Had US$900 but that was past 2 days before and I dont think Ill fork that kind of money for that.......well I might of :)
Grand Maximus is by far the best..... But both Fort and Grand need a different coloured/painted face like Brave has
so what your all saying is
Your all looking out to get me a cheap complete Fort Max?
I luv you guys
i found this one, however its on ebay in america so postage will be expensive, still its cheep, and its missing spike, but hey for 175 us its not bad i think...
