No rest for the wicked, I guess.

Where did all these new dealers come from anyway? How did this dude suddenly rustle up a toy-con of this scale?

I only brought 110$ because I was budgeting for university textbooks. Otherwise I'd bring a lil' more.

How far is this new place Dan? Complicated to get to from the west? Never been but I'm game.

I have already been to the location in the past and it's a HUGE area (like..... I dunno 20 times that of the TOYCON Montreal), and it will be only toys. This is the first year under this management.

I am going to have 2 tables this time as we want to kick off with show with A LOT of merch, so I am going to have double what I normally bring TF wise to the Montreal shows.

How far is it away from the Longueuil metro station (I don't have a car so....)

I had nothing to do so decided to calculate what would be the real height size of Fortress maximus.

In this clip you can clearly see spike in his binary bound suit and he's not bigger even in the suit. So let's says he's 6 foot.

Since I have a fortMax now I can mesure that the spike figure is 5 cm.

I can also mesure that fortMax is 56 cm total in robot mode.

So if I take 56 * 6 / 5 it give's me 67.2.

So FortMax in real life would be 67.2 foot high.

He's not THAT big :P Just to give you an idea this gundam is 60 foot tall. http://www.japannewbie.com/wp-conten...yo-gundam2.jpg

I based my calculation on the FortMax toys and according to spike height.

If you know 3 variables, you can calculate the 4th one with the ehhhhhhh calcul en croix what ever the english name is.

Only that tall? That settles it. We need a bigger robot.

Yes, I'm quoting myself...

It's pretty far from the Longueuil metro station...
Can someone drive me from the station to the place (...Vain )?

No I just meant that in a general dig at lack of proper scale in Transformers. I mean Prime Arcee's entire vehicle mode is about the size of her robot mode SHIN!

For kicks try to calculate Primus's size in Cybertron XD
