Acquiring a LG31 Fort Max

[Linthart]

Hey Guys,

So because I only just discovered premium collectibles, I was too late to their preorder party for the Takara Fortress Maximus.

After Krayt (the absolute legend) helped me with acquiring the Hasbro I'm in love with the Cartoon accurate Takara and really want to try and work out the most efficient way of getting him.

Amazon JP won't ship him here and robot kingdom shipping charges are a little scary but may be the only way.
I was also too late with HLJ.

Are the any shops that I've missed?

Does anyone maybe have a PC preorder they're reconsidering or maybe would trade for an SDCC ver if I ordered that one?

Perhaps I'm best to try and split a RK order with a fellow melbournite.

Any insights would be great

Cheers guys

Linton

I haven't ordered from them before but believe a number of members here have.

Post your results please. I am in the same boat as you Linthart.

I've put a pre-order in with Ami Ami, but they can't estimate shipping yet.

But also no money down too i'm just going to leave it there and see what other options present themselves
I have a feeling i'll be blindsided with Ami shipping rates but hey atleast its an option.

Post your results please. I am in the same boat as you Linthart.

I've found Amiami's shipping to be reasonable. Although being such a large toy shipping is bound to be expensive.

Thanks for the input Gok I've seen some retailers take the piss with shipping prices on other things so it's good to know.

Absolutely he'll be brutal, I guess my benchmark is RK at just under $100USD.

Hoping in more in the area of $100AU

Keep in mind you can't cancel preorders with amiami though :P

I put one on order with HLJ as soon as it was released but am not 100% sure I actually want it. If you can't find an order and I make up my mind to sell mine we can work something out.

Do you still have all your G1 Maxs?

yes i believe amiami charges a reasonable shipping fee compared to even HLJ (at least for single items) but you cant cancel or you will get penalized or even cancel your membership
