I am looking to buy a Grand Maximus and I wanted to know if anyone could provide me with some advice and tips in buying one.
Also, if anyone can direct me to a good source to buy one or possibly even someone who has one for sale... This would be very appreciated.
Your thoughts are welcomed.

Grand Maximus is the one I want to buy, which is technically a G1 Transformer that was only released in Japan.
The RID version is called Brave Maximus.
The American release is called Fortress Maximus, but it was also released in Japan and came with a large and small Master Sword.

The Brave Maximus is easy of course, always a couple on ebay, and the TF major dealers that have their own sites, and they show up at convention dealer tables.
Grand Maximus?! Yeeesh. Didn't that recent ebay one go for $3k or so? I'll keep an eye out at shows/markets, ya never know.

Also, if anyone can direct me to a good source to buy one or possibly even someone who has one for sale... This would be very appreciated. Your thoughts are welcomed. I could not afford the real thing...so I custom repainted a junker Fortress Maximus into a Grand Maximus via pictures of the real thing. I think mine turned out really close. My advice is to custom repaint one.

Thanks for the input everybody!
Please keep an eye out for me if you come across one at a good price.
I do already own 2 of Fortress Maximus (technically 3) and a Brave Maximus, but it's time for me to get Grand Maximus.
I already have a Grand Maximus that's on hold for me that I will be picking up soon, but having more options to choose from is always good... I may end up getting 2 if the prices are just right, but man these are not cheap at all.
repairtechjon - Please keep me in the loop if you come across a Grand Maximus.
tragichero - The one that's listed on eBay has been there for quite some time and the Buy It Now price is a bit scary for me, so it's an easy pass.
GrandMaximus - I was admiring your custom on TFW2005 awhile back and I must say that it really came out nice. Seeing your custom Grand Maximus and Payton's custom articulated Fortress Maximus inspired me to commission a custom articulated Grand Maximus from a Fortress Maximus by none other than TFW2005 Radicon extraordinaire Frenzy Rumble! This project will be completed within the next few months and I'll post pics of it once Grand Maximus is complete.

It wasn't cheap... Cost me well over a grand, but well worth it IMO just to finally have it in my collection.
