    I'm trying to cut down just to Masterpiece, Lego Star Wars and 6 inch Black Series Star Wars, but damn, this looks like the best line (IMO) ever, other then MP!

    This fair is great! I saved my wallet a lot this year. No MPs , a dull fort max which didn't get me excited as what I thought it was going to be. And seeing all these head masters means no MPs for those in future too.

    All in all I am good. Pretty sure news in two more months we get some MPs for August and November

    Really?

    I mean... fair enough.... but.... really?!?

    You know what? I'm not bagging you out at all over this man, I'm really not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you don't think much of this Fort Max then you are perfectly valid to think that way.

    But I'm just a bit stunned, I mean... what were you expecting? Especially since it was announced ages ago this was going to be a retool of Generations Metroplex.

    There are a few things one could nitpick at I'll grant you:

    *The city mode doesn't really look like the G1 version
    *The robot mode is quite lanky in the legs like Metroplex. A shame considering the original Fort Max had such stocky ones.
    *No Gasket and Grommet

    But there is so much GOOD stuff here!:

    *A pretty cool reimagining of the city mode while still having plenty of elements of the original!
    *Size - he's as tall as the original Fort Max!
    *A battle base/space cruiser mode that frankly looks better than the original!
    *Faithful colour scheme!
    *Cerebros as a Headmaster!
    *Cerebros has his own Headmaster!
    *Giant Fricken Leg Cannons!


    I'm not sure how they could have done it any better - I know I couldn't have! I'm genuinely curious to what you find lacking about this figure and what you think they should have done differently. Admittedly I trawl the other TF forums very little but this is the first I've heard of someone not liking the new Fort Max so my interest is piqued.

    Urm yes really. If it's excites you be my guess, I am happy for ya.
    Hey I am not upset though. I am just glad it was not exciting enough for me and hence saved me money.

    The colours for me are way too dull. FYI I have asked other collectors opinions and they felt the same .

    Anyway I am not here to bash fort max. You are entitled to be excited and be happy. I am happy I saved cash from this fair.

    FYI I can get fort max basically free and I am not going to do it.

    I'll take a free one?
    Seriously though I agree with BTT- Fort Max couldn't have been done more faithfully and awesomly!

    Ur no as is my free credits. I buy something I want when I see it.

    Yeah I get it. And I don't mean to offend anyone either. Fort max isn't my cup of tea this year. Typticon maybe metroplex was an instant hit for me.

    Don't worry I am not going to be in a fort max thread bagging it. I stay away from things I have no interest
