Encore Fortress Maximus update

I hope they don't suddenly change the postage cost because of this.
Then again, they would've been given a weight or something, so it probably won't change. Shut up brain!

I don't think it would really make the postage that much more expensive... besides, as others have said, it ought to protect the toy goodererererer. Also, it's more authentically G1! And hopefully it'll mean no (or much fewer) TWIST TIES!!!

Cos Brave Maximus is like the mothertrucker of all twist-tied Transformers! I literally spent like half an hour or so undoing all the twist-ties when I got that toy! (that was back in the days when I undid twist ties by hand But even with tin snips I reckon it'd take you 10 minutes to cut them all loose!)

Then again, they would've been given a weight or something, so it probably won't change. Shut up brain!

Hahaha

The official web page still says it's coming out this month and HLJ's still listing it as coming out on the 30th. <shrugs>

Best place to order from? HLJ?

[GoktimusPrime]

I've preordered from HLJ, but I it says "Order Stop" on it, which I think means that they're not taking any pre-orders for it atm.

RK and other HK stores knows nothing bout delay so hopefully its only a few stores and not all...

[GoktimusPrime]

hmm... unless any other Japanese speakers (or people with access to Japanese speakers) here feel like calling TakaraTOMY to confirm/deny this? I'm at work during their call centre's hours, so I probably can't call until Good Friday or Easter Monday (since they're not public holidays in Japan). Anyone else able to try and call sooner? Just check the bottom or back of any TakaraTOMY TF toy for their call centre numbers.

This is literally the 1st I've heard of it in all my internet travels, curious...
