hi could you please quote the postage to australia? thanks - Steve 22-Jul-08 A: Shipping to Australia costs $845.00 US through Purolator only. WOW! That is not a typo. Sorry for the bad news. Thanks for your question.

Why don't they they just say that I only ship locally instead of giving you a heart attack

I actually grabbed mine from HLJ back in the day, figuring I'd never get a chance to buy the mould cheaper (retail plus postage). The dollar was in the toilet back them (like ¥60 to the dollar, now it's ¥105), cost $305 shipped.

I since paid more than double that for Fort Max, but that's beside the point.

A couple of things to keep in mind...

+ Yes, you need the cable ties. With all that mass, if the thing starts shifting around it could easily wreck the box in transit.

+ There are Japanese & Korean versions out there - the Korean version used to be a little cheaper (not sure if that's still the case). Aside from an upside-down factory applied sticker on the KR one, they're the same. Well, obviously the packaging differs

+ Brave Max comes with few accessories compared to Fort Max - the ramps, the cigar-gun things, but heads and the handgun for Brave (er... Cerebros). Just for people's general info

I luckly got mine back in 2002 before the prices hit the roof ..

Cost me about $400NZ, and I still haven't opened the shipping box.

Does that mean it's been some 6 years & you still haven't even opened the box? For shame...

So as far as you know there could have sent you a couple of bricks instead of the actual figure?

Yeah, I already paid Zippo out about that on #transformers (heh). For all you know it could be a 5kg lead weight in there.

kennymak167: unless someone already has a spare Brave Maximus I don't imagine anyone want to let go of their Brave Max. I got Brave Maximus before getting Fortress Maximus but I want to keep both toys. Toywise Brave Maximus is actually a lot nicer looking than Fortress Maximus (also my own Brave Max is in much much better condition than my Fort Max ). I only wanted a Fortress Maximus for G1 completism's sake and because I like the character from G1. Lord Zed and I saw some Prince Valiant comics at Comic Kingdom at the Sydney Meet on Saturday and we started making Fort Max (Galen) jokes about it. But yeah... you should've gotten it when it was out man - and they were out for a while; I got mine as late as 2002 for just $300 for the toy (paid an extra $100 for insured* shipping though). They were relatively easy to obtain too... just not cheap (although a LOT cheaper than getting a Fortress Maximus). I have absolutely no idea how easy/hard it is to find a Brave Maximus now or how much they're going for... but good luck man.

*cos I would've been really urinated if a $300 had been lost in transit! The $100 was worth the peace of mind.
