That depends. How much do you enjoy Fort Max?

As one of the biggest TFs ever made? Plenty. Unfortunately, that same massiveness also makes it difficult to display anywhere safe and so is kept in storage at my parent's place since some of my friends bring along their kids sometimes when they come to visit, and everybody knows that usually children like to look at things by handling the daylights out of everything. But my friends' kids are well behaved so it's usually not a problem (oh, but if they only could touch 'em...)

However, nice job Ryan, keep the robot goodness coming!

I hear what your saying about the decision you made though. Once I wen't to a flee marlet in PA, and there was a guy who's wife was making him sell his collection. I got Grimlock, The Devestator gift set, WrecK-Garr, and Scorponok for about $60 all of them complete in their boxes.
Now please keep in mind this is one of the things that got me collecting again, and the next day I went back with $800 but the guy was gone.
Anyhow, because I was just getting back into this and Ebay wasn't around yet, I was unsure on the costs of things and wound up trading that Scorponok for a G1 Prime. To this day I kick myself for doing that, as now not only would it cost about $250 to replace that Scorponok, he is now the only US released playset/base that I don't have.
Man I suck

But I feel for you, man. Loosing that Scorponok for a G1 Prime. Ouch. Whishing you all the luck in the world to have either TakaraTomy reissue it or you finding it dirt cheap on eBay.
