The largest Transformers toy ever made, Fortress Maximus, along with his two recoloured brothers, Grand Maximus and Brave Maximus have been confirmed as planned releases by Knock Off Transformers manufacturers in China.
Many Transformers fans will celebrate the news, whilst others will be very upset. How will this effect the going rate of Fort Max's? Well for a start, you can be sure that there will be an increase in the number of original toys up for sale closer to the KO release, and with the price tag set as $300, it is going to be much cheaper for a KO Grand Max that then original, which often goes for over $1000).
All parts are expected, including the Master Sword, Gasket, Grommet, Spike/Grand and the Grand Max pretender shell (possibly in Fort Max and Brave Max colours).

Kapow Toys have received word of a new Transformers Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime toy which will be released in Japan later this year, Jetwing Optimus Prime
No pics yet but this is a Japan exclusive due July, the figure is leader
class and thats all we know apart from the fact the socitation is
accompanied by the image of prime wearing his Jetfire armor.
Hopefully this will be an updated version of Unite for the Universe

looks like the Jetfire parts in the new trailer.
Price is around 12000 yen.

Well Steve' trip to Japan has, for the second time running, allowed us to put another question mark over one of our Lucky Draw figures to rest. He has purchased the copy of TV Magazine that shows a Lucky Draw with the prize of a Gold Big Convoy and Magmatron giftset.
What you may not know is that our Gold Big Convoy, the only proper one ever seen, was from a giftset with a Gold Magmatron.
Pictures of the magazine will come when Steve gets back, unless his email finally gets through to me - its: stuck in limbo at the moment.
