I wasn't planning on getting it , but the more i think about it, i think i will if there's one floating around and if it comes in the US style box, all the better.

You can't pack them away Shape! I did that once. They had to move rooms because they didn't clear the ceiling anymore (twas a tight fit to begin with)
Then this happened.



Slowly but surely. they have been boxed in

time for a re-shuffle me thinks, for the threads sake at least .

I think hes coming with the japanese box (takara release), so it will make a US box more elusive.

Nice display Grock, half the fun is rearranging things anyways (gotta bring C-311 to the front!)

I remember the time I got my korean Brave Max in the house. I dont think I'd seen it in person, and after about an hour of un-twisting those darn ties, (clippers FTW!) I brought him out. Swore quite a bit and proceeded to have a massive robot fight with all my other toys. TFS and other randoms.

It was a great time! Can't wait to be able to have a fully weapon bearing Maxx!

Having only ever played around with other peoples Fort Maximus's I am so looking forward to receiving my Encore. For the first time ever I'm at a cross-road as to whether or not I'm going to open him up I know what the majority of people here would say but it all comes down to available space.

You know my vote. Opening would save you more space too, cos that box be huuuuuuuuge. If you wanna keep the box and space is an issue, you could fold the box up and chuck out the tray. Or if you really don't wanna do that, have the box encased in really strong perspex or glass and use it as a small coffee table.

Remember that preordering gets you an earlybird discount. (Amazon Japan is still taking orders with a really generous preorder discount; you'll need to use a Japanese residential address to order through them)

Actually, it would save me more space by keeping it MISB. If I were to open it, I would want to have him on display in one of my cabinets (mainly to keep him dust free) and he would no doubt take up a full shelf meaning everything else would have to go into storage. The second option is a table next to the cabinet. Either way, it's a good problem to have

[GoktimusPrime]

How about just keeping him loose in box? i.e. open it, take it out and have a fiddle/play/wateva, then just slip him back in the box when you're done.

I'm going to stare lovingly at his MISB form on the first day. Second day, I'll be ripping that bad boy out
