Encore 23 Fort Max

[GoktimusPrime]

I suppose I could always sell it off at a later stage if I ever did change my mind...

^This. Even if it shelfwarms, stocks will eventually deplete - you may need to wait a few years, but eventually you'll be able to sell it. Look at reissue God Ginrai - that was probably one of the worst reissue shelfwarmers ever where even import stores in Sydney were desperately trying to flog them off for $20 (and even then it still shelfwarmed for ages). I just took a cursory glance at eBay and the cheapest MISB God Ginrai I could see was for $200 -- a loose one is going for $100!

And there might be someone in Australia who'd be willing to pay what you paid for the toy + postage just to save the hassle of waiting for an import... e.g. pick up at a meet or something. At least that way you'll break even, and the buyer gets the satisfaction of bringing the toy home in their hands.

You're a bad influence Goki... pre-order placed Worked out to be $395 shipped from RK.

I've placed about a dozen orders with them over the last four or so years, including two MP-10 Convoys - never a problem, everything has been very smooth.

If you use them, remember to request and pay for the shipping when the in-stock info email arrives. Otherwise it will just sit there...

The only trouble I've heard of people having is damage to the outer boxes of large toys from minimal packaging. I think it was someone on these boards that had their MP-9 Rodimus box badly damaged.

Thanks for the info

Goddammit... the more I think about it, the more I want one. I could even buy it under the thinly veiled excuse that it's my 10 year wedding anniversary next year. The wife seemingly has fallen for that Someone please talk me out of it before I click on 'pre-order'!

I tell ya what, I'll go halves with ya, I'll take the toy and you can keep the box. How does that sound?

if I saw a God Ginrai for 20 bucks I'd be knocking over everyone and everything in my path to get to it.

On the subject of Reissue Fort Max- If you can buy it, DO IT! DO IT NOW!

My counter-counter offer, I'll sell YOU the box for 394.95 and keep the toy.

This is getting silly now...

There should be a camera rolling when you get the toy 5FDP.... you know to commemorate the event that you are OPENING this toy! .... usually you just keep it sealed but for this exception it should be recorded hehehe.... even if you later on don't want the toy - or have buyer's regret... someone surely in the boards will buy it from you, seriously! Don't look at me though, Im buying one myself and im gonna open it, coz that's the way I am... I opens my toys heheheh... well except for the TF Prime ones now... Im opening them later ... like Xmas time
