Per what others have said, consider our gun laws and your status as a minor with reference to Hegemon.
also; I've seen it in person, and while it looks fairly nice, I also noticed that the ratchet joints in the legs seemed to be chewing themselves up a bit, I'd like to hear form someone who's had one for a few months as to how well it stands after a dozen or so transformations and posing in different positions.
The Takara megs has not likelihood of being seized by customs.

EDIT: BTW I am thinking about picking up an Encore Fort Max, anyone have good arguments either for or against getting him?
I'm not a beast wars collector so I can't really give an opinion here.

as for Fort Max:
+ it's Fortress Frickin Maximus
+ He's huge and imposing on a shelf
+ If you're like me and always wanted one, this is the cheapest way of getting a good quality version of the toy.

- He's Huge and Imposing on a shelf. Do you have room for it, either stored or on display?
-It's still $300 plus shipping. which is a lot of money for a single toy.

I have one pre-ordered and paid for. so you know which way I'm swinging on this one.

So should I...
Option 1: Get ALL of these MPs sent to me after Mar 23, which means paying only x1 for postage, but meaning that I won't get MP Soundwave until late March.
Option 2: Get each of these MPs sent to me ASAP, thus paying x3 postage
Option 3: Get MP Soundwave sent first, and have the cassettes all sent after Mar 23 together? (thus x2 lots of postage) -- because I'm more likely to save money from sending 2 small packages together... Soundwave is probably big enough that sending him separately or with the cassettes wouldn't save me money on postage.

What would you guys do if in my position? I'm erring toward Option 3...
Wait till your friend is better before you hassle him about being your Plastic Crack Mule.

Then go with option 3. though march 23 is only about 7 weeks away.

I don't collect RID but there aren't any sealed transformers in my collection that I don't plan on opening at some point so, I say open it when you're ready.


My Question:
if you look at my animated wants list, there isn't much left on there.

Animated RAMJET just appeared on eBay today, it's $80, which is off the charts for an activator. Do I pick it up or wait to see if the price comes down, or wait to see if another pops up in 6 more months that might be cheaper or more expensive.

keeping in mind that the majority of my Animated Collection is still sealed because I've collected it over the course of a year or so since the 2011 Botcon and plan to take photos of it all sealed before I crack it at some point down the road.

None of my animated is displayed right now as my limited display space is being used for Prime and FOC while it's current.

I'm not really in a hurry for it but I realise it's fairly rare and this could be one of those opportunities where you just can't afford to pass it up. "No matter the cost"
