I'm fine with my non purple one.

But more power to those that want a complete CrazyDevy kit. This will be the first piece I will pass on for my Devastator.

Yeah, this.

More than 10 bucks is way too much.

Between this and Eeeeeevil Ultra Magnus' Eeeeeeeevil Jetpack I can't help but feel that third party companies are taking the piss a little.

Now I know what T-Macksimus feels like when anyone admits to not hating Hasbro.

I've bought everything from them so far for Devastator.

Like was said before, no more than $10 on this. Out of all the pieces done, this is potentially the easiest pass for any of them.

under 10 possibly maybe but 20 not sure either way its pass for now

I'd complain it never stops, but they've found their groove.
Like how Perfect Effect has found theirs.

I don't have a G1 Devastator so this is already a pass for me.

I can't help but picture the shot right after the one show, Grimlock being punted across the room.

Okay... now we're hitting ridiculous. The other add-ons thev've done for Devastator enhanced the figure's articulation, increased it's play value... this is a purple drum.

A purple drum.

Sorry but this is just a lazy purchase by someone who can easily paint the mixer purple no matter how amateur their artistic skills are.

OVERKILL :BANG_HEAD:

is the operative word here peeps

Yeah, I gotta admit it's a real desperate grab. Although, for those with broken Mixmasters, maybe this'll help.

I kinda think they ought to have made a new shield for Devestator. One that actually clips into Long Haul and that, maybe, adds more weight to solve the standing problem.

Re: CrazyDevy Update: Cement Mixer Add-on (1084111)
Posted by Naked Magnus on June 9th, 2010 @ 9:34am CDT

My guess is that this will cost $24.99

These CrazyDevy upgrades look cool, but given all of the cool stuff that has recently come out, I have passed on these for financial reasons. Plus, it does seem like they are milking us for all they can.

Maybe combine the two into one kit?

Crazy devy's prices are CRAZY!!!!!!!

I admit, I had a lot of hesitation on buying the arms, but I ultimately figured it was worth it.

These remind me of the Devestator balls. Which are listed as US$29.95. Of course those come with a new "hand" that negates the bot mode of the arm it's attached to...

Maybe combine the two into one kit?

Since the only shield I have is a cheap KO, I'd love a Crazy Devy shield and would definately buy the two together and feel fine about it.

Why this?

I do have a G1 mixmaster missing a drum though...hmmmmm

and why can't we get a confirmation if Takara is to do a Encore release for the Constructicons!

And Why can't Crazydevy Release everything into one kit or set, instead of piece by piece....

Easy answer.

They're making this up as they go along. I don't think they actually have a plan as to what they're shooting for next. Not after the head and legs.

Plus, when you add it all up, this is one incredibly expencive set. Doing it little by little might actually be a stroke of genius. All together one might not buy such an expencive set ... especially if you don't have the Constructicons. But apart? You kinda get sucked in bit by bit.

Kind of a boring upgrade. If it's relatively inexpensive I might get just have the full set of G1 Devy upgrades.

Reaching.

That's the first word that comes to mind.

Ripoff.

That's the second.

The hips? Okay, great idea.
The head? Not as cool as the first, but it does work.
The forearms? Way too big, too small of an elbow, and just look ridiculous.
This? Grab some paint and be done with it.

I'm probably missing an upgrade, they've had so many, it's ridiculous.

Considering the cost of their set (and you really do need all of the pieces to get the full effect, so you might as well buy it all as a set and be done), plus the cost of finding a Devastator, whether it's original or high quality bootleg, the price is astronomical for most people.

I'm sure there are big spenders with loads of disposable income looking at this and saying "Hmm. I'm gonna have to think about that."

Only a select few saw the price tags and said "BUY!"

C.D. would reach a much larger audience if they dropped their prices.

You missed the hands.

The forearms don't work quite right with the regular hand, by the way, without tape or soemthing to thicken the connectors.

The previous upgrades vastly improve Devy in my opinion. This just being cosmetic isn't quite as appealing, but everything thing else has been great. It basically allows you to move Devy from your G1 shelf to your Classic's shelf. It would be great if Takara would release a Devy Encore, that way I could have my original G1's on display and have the upgraded Encore displayed with Classics. I wonder if CD will release all the upgrades in one set when they are done?

I personally found the Hips and Forearms to be the best part of the CD sets. I have the hands and the fingers are just too loose. They fall off so easily, but for the most part, I have really liked what they have done. I don't agree with their prices however. I've been lucky (if you want to call it that) to have been able to buy the upgrades directly from them. Also, I didn't have to pay for my Devastator, it was a gift given to my by a co worker.

The hips, head, forearms and hands do enhance Devastator, yes. Those are logical upgrades. This one... come on! :evil:

yea, i think id rather see reprolables make a purple decail cover for the drum as part of a new tv acurate upgrade kit, like the ones they have done for the combaticons and other transformers.

Pass.

They're taking the piss now, really.

The other upgrades are great, but this...

I'm wondering if there's more than just the drum in Set #9. New (screen-accurate) heads perhaps?

Dont know what else they could add to Devastator. All you need for a purple drum is a spare and some purple paint really. Pass on this one, still waiting for the others to ship

Posted by Botswanky on June 9th, 2010 @ 10:20pm CDT

This sort of thing really puts in perspective how awesome the FansProject Bruticus add-ons will be. Although I can see the appeal of slowly improving ones G1 Devastator. Problem is, it would not be feasible for me since shipping one item at a time to Australia is going to get stupid expensive real fast, shipping wise, that is. :-(

There _is_ more to this upgrade set than just the replacement drum. If you go to CrazyDevy's site, they also show new clips for the shoulders, a new front plate, and a new piece that allows for the waist to swivel. All in all, another nice set of upgrades.

Re: CrazyDevy Update: Cement Mixer Add-on (1084415)
Posted by Prime Evil on June 10th, 2010 @ 6:42am CDT

Huh, whaddayaknow? There is more. And it's probably the cheapest add-on CD has done. Still wish they would do this all in one shot. Guys, you're killing me. Like your stuff, really do, but very very poor way of releasing your items. Good thing this set is cheap. I went from no to most likely.

So we get a shoulder brace for the right arm extension, a new mounting plate ( for waist movement), and the purple colored drum for Mixmaster.

My question is, well lets say that Takara does a Encore release of good ol' Devastator, I wonder how high the prices will go and how hard these parts will be to acquire? And yes i agree with everyone and complete kit or set needs to be in store for us to buy, especially if Takara does release Devastator. GOD! please have Takara release Devastator :PRAY:
