Encore 23 Fort Max

[GoktimusPrime]

So let me get this straight, through BBTS the toy will cost $504~$520 including postage?? I think it might be cheaper just to get the toy straight from Japan, especially if the RRP is going to be 29800JPY ($371) -- add say about $100 for postage, that should work out to be $471. Hmm...

Okay, so apparently it's scheduled for a February release - that gives about 3~4 months to start saving. Right.

Not neccessarily, at BBTS you can add a crapload of toys and that postage price will most likely stay the same. I've had two giant boxes delivered via UPS at the same cost as some of the smaller packages from them I've bought.

Anime Export had MP-10 for 30% off, Amiami had a similar discount...

EMS postage is determined by weight, not size. If you know how much a Fort Max weighs then calculating postage should be reasonably accurate.

5kg... Hmm... I'll do some investigating.

Btw, Autobase Aichi has reported on Encore Fort Max (and other stuff) now too:

No, this is an outrage! It is a travesty for an ignorant peasant to own a Fort Max! What has society come to?

Thanks everyone. Robotkingdom sounds good. Can't use my credit card atm (see Deluxe Venting thread (-_-)), but will put a preorder through ASAP.
