That's RiD Fortress Maximus to you! I did get Car Robot Brave Maximus in 2002... but that's a 2000 mould (well, 2001 as it was the Korean version) - it did not satiate my lust for 2002 Transformers! My highlights from that year would be e-Hobby Road Rage and Crosscut.

*points at liegeprime's signature* I made that mistake when I first started living in Japan and went nuts buying games, manga and toys (it's like being a kid in a candy store!) - then my friends were like, "Haha! Now go eat your Playstation!" :/ So yeah, I was eating instant ramen for a month... Then I discovered that video rental stores sell second hand games - a lot people in Japan buy new games, play them for a month or so until they clock them, then sell them off! So they were in loose mint condition! Too bad I never found toys sold like that (i.e.: loose mint for half the price of MISB). Loose-mint manga is dirt cheap.
