From a new Big Bad Toy Store update we have confirmation that Takara's Transformers Encore number 23 will be none other than Fortress Maximus! Fort Max of course is famously the largest official Transformer toy yet to be made, standing 2 feet tall in robot mode. The toy originally retailed for $100 or so in 1987 upon its original release. Prices for the original in decent condition have been known to go for far, far more than that online and at fan conventions in recent years, so the new reissue price of under $400 is actually fairly refreshing.
If you've been pining for a Fortress Maximus of your own but have been simply unable to afford it - now's your chance! Release is next spring, so start saving those pennies! The April shipment will cost $349.99 - or you can grab one a month earlier for $399.99. If you have the means and need this giant bastard for your collection, this is something you may not want to miss out on. Pre-Orders are available right here on BBTS.
