At long last, Fortress Maximus has hit US retail! Apparently having done so while we were away at SDCC, Fort Max has been popping up all over California as well as Ohio the past few days. Boards member Jhiaxus666 snapped a pic for proof of Fort Max at the check-out counter at Toys R Us, confirming that this year’s Titan has indeed landed in the US.
Fort Max is priced at about $149.99 USD and has been spotted thus far at TRUs only. Keep your eyes peeled, and happy hunting TFW!

Bought one today in Brockton,MA.

None at my TRU either. They had them all over Devastator last year!

Bought one today in New Hartford, NY. No loss prevention cables.

Surprisingly no. Was in there today and saw a couple of Fort Maxes with no extra security, which was strange to me since when I saw a Devastator in there last year, it had security wraping despite it being a damaged mark-down with a broken figure and busted up box.
God, seeing another person walk out of there made the idea of getting him even more tempting, but alas, I don't have the budget for him…

I hate those strap-on electrical things. I saw one on Devastator's box at TRU last year, and it had crushed most of the edges. I try to stay away from such daft scenarios if possible.

It sounds like they have no regard for collectors in the South. Their pitiful selection and pricing is a big part of why I rarely enter their store. It's a pity this is not being offered by other brick and mortars.

Our local store has already had two separate shipments. First came this past weekend. Both sold in a day. We had more today. I grabbed one, since the one I ordered from their website is backordered. Bet the other will be gone soon. They had no problem at our store selling through Metroplex and Devastator.

According to TRU, the Southeastern states won't be seeing this in stores for another four to six weeks. Our region is not coded as eligible to carry it until after shelving resets have been completed. Thanks for the love, TRU.

Did anyone else's TRU have one of those electrical theft prevention devices on the box before purchase? My TRU wasn't messing around.

Toys R Us in Vienna West Virginia still has one Fortress Maximus left. So if there are any collectors in the WV area, be sure to hurry over and grab one before it's too late. I nabbed mine just yesterday afternoon, same day I spotted it.

I saw Fort Max at my local Toys R Us today (just one on the shelf right now), but I currently don't have the money to get him. : /

I found it in Toys'R'Us in Dallas, Texas, USA. Here proof…

Purchased one at a TRU on Long Island. I'll post details over in the NY thread.

Last year TRU was the only store that had the balls enough to carry the Titan class Devastator as well as Metroplex. never saw them at Target or Walmart. Only on their websites. At least where I live.
bradforj
Are any other stores carrying this? Target, perhaps?
SouthtownKid
Yeah, I saw Metroplex once and Devistator zero times.
The people with stories of, "I saw Fort Max at TRU today, I'm wondering if I should get him, or blah blah blah" crack me up. If you see Fort Max in the wild, that is the Universe directly speaking to you, giving you a message to buy him, and buy him now. Max most likely will not be there if you leave and come back. Don't ignore the Universe.
