Well, guess we have a pretty good idea of how much TFC Devastator is going to cost: $500-550 range (delivered). Yikes!

Why not get both? Is robotkingdom any different from bigbadtoystore in getting pre-orders or do I need to make a robotkingdom account to get this first installment of hercules?

And so it begins.... If they release one of these a month and keep colours consistent then this might be doable.

I'd prefer to buy from BBTS, if they are going to have it.

They had them in stock, I went over to check if BBTS had them, and to look at some stuff in my queue over there, and decided to buy it at RK if I switched my black WFC Prime & Megs over to them, and when I went to add it they were out.
That was about 9AM, this news was posted at 5:40AM.
That's fast!

They added some more, I just placed an order. This is the first time I've ever ordered from RK, hopefully all goes well. I'm sure the domestic retailers will probably get these as well, but I'm not taking any chances.

It looks solid but TFC has a lot of QC question marks from me but I am hoping for the best. Yeah, and BBTS increased the price $20 bucks.

That's pretty standard. BBTS still ends up being cheaper if you use EMS shipping at RK and POL shipping at BBTS.

This one was $4 cheaper shipped than BBTS is charge before shipping. Was also similarly the case with the black WFC figs. RK is getting more and more of my business.

Registered Air Mail Parcel
$15.87 for shipping and $93.77 total. The few times I've oreder from RK, that's what I've used and I've yet to have a problem...and if it continues to get me the same item for less than BBTS' listed price before shipping, gonna have to stick with what's working.
The only thing that sucks is shipping climbs fast as you order more items so it makes less sense to order more, but still, as long as it's coming out cheaper shipped than what others' retail stickers are...

Just ordered mine from RK. Total including shipping to the UK was $98. Eep! If TFSource, Kapow Toys, Toy Arena and the others are going to sell this then they'd better get their pre-orders up as no one is going to take any chances with these figures if they want all six.

Spread this out over the course of 2-3 years and maybe I'd possibly be able to somehow afford it.
If they're smart they probably won't make very many of these due to the lack of sales, considering the outstanding price of getting the whole thing. So even if I took my time, there's no way in hell can I ever in my wildest dreams own the full thing.
I'll just stick to getting FP's Insecticons and leave it at that this year.

I love the way that Laserbeak sits perched on Classics Megatron's arm.
As amazing as that Devastator is going to be, I'll have to pass on it. Can't get the first piece due to other incoming stuff and I know when I go to buy it on the secondary market it'll be way inflated. Oh well.

I don't think that's a finished product. At least I hope it isn't. If the promotional artwork is anything to go by then there's some paint apps missing me thinks. Looks a little cheap otherwise.
Please God, let these be awesome.

I don't think that's a finished product. At least I hope it isn't. If the promotional artwork is anything to go by then there's some paint apps missing me thinks. Looks a little cheap otherwise.
Please God, let these be awesome.

Yeah, it still says prototype, but at least it's not all black and shows a better indication of colouration. I know some people were complaining in previous shots where the body was shown in different shades of green (probably as tests) and the backhoe section was all black. I still wish these were more in the range of $50-60 a pop, but with everything I've seen so far I'm glad I preordered one already.

That's not quite accurate.
I ordered both of these from RK and canceled from BBTS. I saved about $20 off of the BBTS price, and that is BEFORE figuring in any shipping.
I agree with Kibble, RK has been stealing quite a bit of my business away from BBTS lately. I got all of my United stuff through them instead of BBTS because it saved me significant $$$. POL is great and all, but that cost savings is appreciated.

I placed an order because I am afraid it will be bad ass and I will not be able to get it at this price again. Same went for Fansproject Bruticus. I bought it over a year ago and haven't got around to playing with it yet, but I am still glad I got it because the price now is frick'n ridiculous and it is indeed bad ass.
Hopefully they will space them out every two months or so to make them more affordable.

Allow me to clarify, it saved me money. I chose EMS shipping on my RK order and it came to $109.00. BBTS's price is $98.00, but usig the POL the shipping will be distributed among multiple figures ultimatley saving me a little.
Not to mention if said figure shows up missing a part or broken it will be taken care of with a couple e-mails and resolved in a week, that's the real draw for me.

Word, on all counts. I'm still kicking myself for not getting FP Warbot…
Now I get everything I can, finances willing, and if it turns out I'm not into it afterwards I can usually at least break even on eBay.

Ordering the third-party Constructicons from Robot Kingdom feels like receiving a discount on the price to me. The total cost in my order for Scavenger is about $98 with registered Air Mail; that total price more or less equals the subtotal one would get if the figure was ordered from TFsource or BBTS. So since shipping for me usually costs about $20 anywhere, I am saving approx. $120 if I rely on Robot Kingdom to sell the whole set to me in the long run.
Robot Kingdom is reliable. I've always received my orders quickly. The Registered Air Mail includes tracking and only takes 1 week to arrive.
