Man I love this site. Thanks for sharing in the wealth of info everyone.

Due to world’s largest online retailer jumping the presell date again, we have just listed Devastator – preorders open at $139.99!
Taxes are annoying, How do you think you'll do with shipping? I noticed that Amazon is offering free shipping with this beast... I have yet to see any price limit that BBTS does that
I got excited about the $10 off too but now I'm not sure which way is cheaper.

you hate to stiff them cause they'll come over to your house and take all your toys away!

Oooh, you should be a staff member for this kind of stuff; just run around all the different forums doing advanced conversion-type-stuff

I foresee this guy being hard to find like metroplex sure there may be some great deals to get him cheaper if your lucky. Otherwise trying to get him in the aftermarket will be even more expensive.

Seriously ... this sale has been planned for months and they don't get all their stock.

This happens with the stores by me. It's the individual department managers discretion on what to order and how much. If they don't think something will sell they won't order it. Stock sits they're responsible.

Just looked at the photos from the news page, and I definitely do not like how some of the purple sections of the figures are metallic and some are not.
I get they may have more articulation, but for me, looks trumps that.
The metallic purple sections being literally right next to the non-metallic purple sections just doesn't work for me.
I also don't need Devastators chest piece to be metallic either.

Yeah, they dont have more articulation, its the same as the standard version, just with some chrome and a different head. I am definitely not a fan. The ultimate version of this toy is clearly the takara version and I can guarantee that the takara version will be a hotter commodity than the SDCC one. To be totally honest, the only market interested in that SDCC Devy are the completionists or collectors of exclusive toys. And even then, they would be getting it for the sake of the collection, not because they love it. All this is based on the feedback all versions have gotten so far from fans.
I really feel that SDCC version is a failure since the added cost doesnt give the collector as much as another version. I would like to know who out there actually prefers this one over the other versions because I just dont see it.
