Cybergundam Blog has updated with news of a delay to two of the most anticipated upcoming releases from Takara-Tomy. Encore Fortress Maximus has now been delayed to a late March release, and Masterpiece Soundwave has been delayed until the end of January.
While this is bad news for those impatient to add these two releases to their collection, we encourage you to look at the bright side – it’s another little while to save up some money to afford these two high-end releases before they arrive next year.

Fortress Maximus is delayed until March? I'm OK with this.
Suddenly all this other cool shit I also want real bad like this and this is also released in March? WTF?

No, Minneapolis. Metallica definitely stole the show here too. Not sure what the problem with GNR was, seemed like Axl was drunk or wasted to the point of being incoherent. He was babbling nonsense between songs. Still a great memory, especially since it was my very first concert.

GnR was very hit and miss. Luckily I saw them with Sound garden back in the day, and GnR did 6 encores including stairway to heaven, the extended version. They literally encoded for over an hour. People who followed the band said it was one of the best shows they have been to.
I miss the real GnR. Together they make amazing stuff, apart, both of their endeavors suck. Shit, I would take Axel and Slash together. They were the two draws anyway. Their drummer was nothing to write home about.
Back on topic, the delay doesn't bother me that much, saves me some money.

Same here along with Fort Max being in my hands and me playing with him and just grinning from ear to ear.

Hey dude did you go to the show in Toronto?
I skipped FNM because I had no intention of seeing them. Metallica stole the show and during the ONE encore Hetfield rocked the guitar (he didn't play all show due to the burnt arm) but he rocked it at the end.
GnR came on late and left early with no Encore but they still electrified the stadium because, well, its GnFnR (the real band not just Axel and some other guys)

Yeah /\. An hoping it looks exactly like it did back in 1987!

Now waiting for the boxart for Fort Max
Rewind
The whole show was a bummer. My friends and I were huge Faith No More fans at the time and were there to see them just as much as Metallica and GNR, but the stadium we were at left the lights on for most of FNM's show, even though the band kept asking them to turn them off. Annoyed musicians don't usually put on a good show. Then Metallica came on and they were great but it was right after James Hetfield had his accident so he wasn't playing guitar, which made the show seem 'not quite right'. Then GNR made everyone wait for two hours and when they finally showed up they put on one of the worst performances I've ever seen.
Truly a historic show, regardless.
Back on topic, my 18" Ultimate Iron Giant, 23" Matty Voltron and 24" daughter are eagerly awaiting Fort Max's arrival.

I saw that show back inthe early 90's he was late as hell to my show as well.
I actually saw GnR last year (Axel minus everyone else) and he wasn't extremely late that night but I did here he basically showed up to the venue and rushed straight to the stage. lol
Rewind
He still pulls that crap? I saw GNR back during the Metallica tour and he was 2 hours late for that show.

Amazon Japan finally updated about the delay…it now reads:
Delivery estimate Sunday January 27, 2013 – Tuesday January 29, 2013
Whew…that's actually very good news for me cause Guns N Roses just announced a one-off date at small club in Tokyo in December but the tickets are astronomical….now maybe I can afford to go!
GNFNR!!!!

Looks pretty cool.

I was going to split mine up and pay for extra shipping but then I thought…I will be getting Assaulter, TFSource exclusive FP Insecticons (3), MMC HoS Seekers (3), Lucky Rogers Junkion upgrade (2) from now until Christmas. Althought nothing beats an MP I figure that pile is big enough for Christmas and Jan is a dead month for toys so these guys will come at a perfect time.
My advice, save the money and give yourself a grand treat in Jan.

I'm sure the site just has not updated the date yet.

Yep. Just checked again. According to Amazon Japan, my Masterpiece Soundwave is still on track to be delivered on December 15th.
