    For myself personally I say no, but for the public in general who may have difficulties obtaining the original I say maybe. I have been able to justify buying an incomplete Fort Max recently on the grounds that the price was reasonable and it is now a fixer-upper-type project for me. Not everyone is willing to do this and this is where a reissue would come in handy.

    An Encore reissue would open up the possibility of an Ehobby Grand Max and I would most certainly go for that.

    Personally I would say no as it's too big, too expensive and postage would be killer.

    Yeah I can't justify another Max for the same reason - However a Grand Max would change that totally!

    For $300 with shipping? Would definitely want to, but it would depend on my financial situation at the time. I don't have as much disposable income I as used to and haven't bought Transformers regularly since MP Grimlock. Last purchase was Unicron, and I really didn't want to, but I knew I had to jump on the boat before it left. My wallet cried out in pain that day.

    I would certainly be in full support of a reissue however.

    I would not hesitate in buying a reissue Fort Max and if it came about a Grand Maximus. I am sort of lucky as I will be getting a Takara Fort Max soon but it is missing some minor stuff which is some of the most expensive items but yeah if they reissued this and the other bases I would get all of them.

    +1 , I would buy it for I believe it will be more cheaper than the original ones. Plus it'll plummet the prices of them original I bet.

    If they ever did reissue Fort Max I reckon Grand Max should be done as an e-Hobby exclusive.

    I thought the limited release (only Takara japan) argument would mean I'd *NEVER* see Metroplex, let alone Omega Supreme and Skylynx.

    There's no way that I'd let mere price stop me getting Fortress Maximus. With the shipping, I'd import a bunch and then onsell them - Maximus is way too cool for G1 fans to pass up, and look at how much a badly colored Korean reissue sells for. With all those accessories included, I'd kill for one to display, and one to keep MISB.

    But I'd say the same thing would apply to Trypticon as well.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
