RotF Devastator $60 at Target.com!

To bad I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to own this toy.

Not a bad sale.

Now why couldn't they do that price to begin with? That's a lot more reasonable!

Now can they do a more accurate version with a decent neck and head (coloured correctly, too) and components to scale with each other?

I love a good sale as well, but this is zero desire here either. Even for 20$ i wouldn't want this thing taking up shelf space for other more detailed and fun characters. So 60$ for a closet warmer? No thanks. Legends Dev has my heart anyway.

I did scoop up jetfire from this sale though

Doesn't seem to work. Show up as $99

It's showing up at this price for me also.

*Looks like I didn't read the fine print. The discount is applied at checkout.

You guys need to go all the way through checkout. It doesn't show the discounts until just before the very end.


And bought.

I wish that this sale applied to Voyagers. It'd be an easy and cheap way for me to pick up Stratosphere and Starscream.

You still can't get me to buy this POS

I think I'm gonna buy it eventually, I just can't justify it after finally finding Jetfire last night at Miejer. That along with the Dead End and Ice Cream twins purchase I made earlier in the week, puts me out of the market temporarily. I did however notice you can get $16 off a leader Megatron with the code. Since I am still missing him I put two on an order for $64.64 out the door. When they come I will return one with my Jetfire reciept for $47.xx and have a Megatron to keep for only $20 net!!!

I don't know why, but i really want this guy to go with my other decepticons. If only i had the money.

I was going to hold out for a sale at $50 closer to Christmas, but $60 is close enough.

Thanks CP!

I am flat broke, my business is now moving from a 5 room and 1500 sqft building to a 1 room 250 sqft office HUB.. the recession has killed my business... I bought as many Henkei I could before my fundage dropped into survival funds.. so I am now in (no spending mode) so as Much as I would have jumped on this..

I have to begrudgingly PASS...

$60 is nice but still passing.

This is off topic but I thought I should just see if I can get a reply out of this thread instead of making a new one being related to Devastator. Anyway this morning there was news of a rumored MP09 Devastator what happened to that post, just curious?

Good question...maybe it was found to be BS so they removed it.

It was a witch...and we burned it.

*Somewhat* off-topic. Whatever happened to the Masterpiece Devastator rumor? I saw it on the main page earlier...

Oh yes it did, it weight just as much as a duck so it must have been made of wood. It's common knowledge that wiches are made of wood, that's why they burn!

WOO-HOO! Man when I decided not to buy this guy at TRU.com for $70 a few weeks back I was SO pissed with my self afterwards, now I see it was the right thing to do! I just paid for him just now and should be here next week! W00T! 40% off Devastator!

I think that is a great deal. I would like to take advantage of that deal. I might just need to do that.

I'm with skywarp-2 on this.. I'm in a no buy zone sadly..

Honestly though..$60 for tonka toys .... still ridunkulous...

I think this is a pretty good sale.
I don't plan on taking advantage of it, but...

$60 US is cheap. Never forget what non-US collectors pay.

Zeds wrote:$60 US is cheap. Never forget what non-US collectors pay.

That is completely true. $60 U.S. is a really good deal. Seriously. I feel bad for people across the big ponds. Some of the prices out there are silly.

Thanks for the info. Charged it to the Red Card. Thanks again.

Should've waited for this deal instead of the $75 deal on Amazon earlier.

could this be the only transformer that get the largets disount price drop ever i wander why maybe hasbro should learn something from his product if your going to make a combiner make sure you make one with bot modes, verhcal modes, & combiner modes.

if the price drops below 50 ill get it i might get it

Well, so much for that. Just got off of the site and Devastator is out of stock. Put in the notify me when back in stock request in the off chance more will come in before the end of the day on Saturday.

What is the saying ... a day late and a dollar short ...

Sucks for those coming late to the party...

In other news, I got my shipping notification last night.

It's jsut as well it's sold out, for me, anyway. Couldn't swing $64 right now, even tho it's a great discount. I'll be looking for more sales before Christmas, and def. around then too. He's a must-have in my book.

Oh yea...and +1 to you for running with my Python gag.

Dammit....its already out of stock. Why can't my paycheck get here sooner!

I guaran-damn-tee that when it comes back in stock the sale is gonna be over. Am I right?

Woo hoo!

Mine came in last night AND I happened to pick up Leader Jetfire too!

Giant combiner awesomeness in da howse!!!

Got mine yesterday as well.

He's lots of fun.

This sale on Target.com is prob what resulted in Devastators disappearing around the Target stores. The 2 or 3 that's been sitting in my local Target for weeks all of a sudden just disappeared.

The $30 discount + free shipping offer must have ended... Devastator is back in stock but I could only use the 10% discount code. I'll wait til a better offer to come along.

I envy you...

Today I saw Devastator at a store in south Sweden. They had 2 of them. Really amazing, but Devastator doesn´t beat my Brave Maximus in coolness. What do you think the price was?

1595 SEK. That´s 220 US$. To me it´s very much money. And I need 1 or 2 Jetfire (100 US$ each) and they were sold out of course! Is Devastator worth 220 US$? I guess that the only Transformers you could earn money are Fort Max, Grand Max and Brave Max. I thought Devastator looked cool, but I´m disappointed with the detailing of the veichles.

I talked to one man at the store and he said that they propably do some campaign and then maybe order new stuff... He would call me in case they get Jetfire back...

$60 is still about $40 too much.

Dang, that sux, with that price you can get about 2 Devastator here at full price + tax

Wow, I thought it was bad in Canada for Transformers price tags.

klarinettmeister, you should consider non-retail sources for your Transformers(if you already haven't considered it). The Transformers community does a lot of trading and selling, which is awesome because you can normally get fair pricing rather than jacked up store prices or crazy eBay seller prices(I've seen a seller list an accessory for like $3 but then mark the shipping cost at $40...insane).

Thanks for the tip Convotron! The shipping rates are very high from foreign countries like the US to Sweden today. I don´t know any other serious Transformers collectors in Sweden either. I have been using Tradera (a swedish ebay) where I won the bid on a MISB movie 2007 leader Megatron for 14 US$! That´s the same site I used when I won the bid on a MIB (transformed once) Brave Maximus a few years ago priced SEK 2600:-; 345 US$ (today´s rate).

I just want 2 leaders Jetfire... 1 to be MISB and one to play with my 2nd leader Optimus.

According to what I´ve read in the forum I think 220 US$ Devastator is too much money. As alot of people here could get at least 2 Devastator for that same price!

Wow, those are some great finds, klarinettmeister!

Yeah, shipping can be a big part of cost when purchasing outside of local retail sources. The UK has quite a booming Transformers fan community. I've seen some great deals, on eBay at least, from UK sellers. I imagine the shipping from the UK to Sweden must be a fair bit less than from North America. Have you explored UK sources for Transformers?

And yes, $220 USD for Supreme Devastator is quite overpriced. It has arrived recently in my area of Canada and it's priced at $100 CAD so it's basically on par with normal pricing of the set. However, as I've gathered from your postings of pricing in Sweden, the cost of Transformers seems to be generally more expensive, which is too bad.

Thanks! I picked up Brave Max yesterday from his box and put him on a table. I think he beats Devastator. Are there aany pics of Fort, Brave or Grand Max together with ROTF Devastator for size comparison?
Brave Max seems to be the same height of ROTF Megatron + Movie 2007 Megatron without the boxes. Tidal wave seems puny and cute standing next to Brave Max. The same goes for ROTF leader Prime.

Thanks again for the tips, Convotron! I haven´t thought about the UK that much. I´ve only checked the Toys R Us in UK and they don´t ship to Sweden. But I heard from my boyfriend that they have a Toys R Us in the city where he lives! And I also have heard there are 2 Toys R Us in my region too. But prices are propably the same in all Sweden.

You're very welcome! I'm a new collector so I don't have that much expertise but I hope some of these suggestions work for you.

I haven't seen any photos comparing RotF Supreme Devastator with Fort/Brave/Grand Max but I'm sure there must be something like that out there. I think it would be a great photo opportunity. Comparing the largest Transformer figure of different eras.

I would normally suggest retail shopping for current toyline purchases but in your case, it may be cheaper to do a little more investigation into buying through the Transformers fan community. There are some great people out there who are willing to buy items for you and charge you cost plus shipping. It can be tricky as you'll be dealing with relative strangers but some places like here at seibertron.com, we have a forum that is dedicated to trading, Carbombya: Buy, Sell, or Trade, that has a feedback thread where you can see the responses from people who have dealt with fellow community members. You can gauge trustworthiness from these feedbacks. Other forums have similar set ups for buy/sell/trade too.

The UK may be a good source for you as it may be the closest location of a fairly large community of Transformers collectors. But definitely confirm prices first at your regional Toys R Us locations as well as your boyfriend's region to see if you can find "normal" pricing at a local retail level. I hope their prices are more reasonable!

I think Brave Max is taller than ROTF Devastator. Even plastic wise, Brave Max is composed of better plastic quality than some of the recent figures.

It's because Brave Max is the best. Ever.
