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.

Taxes are $13.50-ish from Amazon for me in CA. However, I use the BBTS "Pile of Loot" to lump my products into a single shipment, and since I already order other stuff from BBTS that's not on Amazon (Fan Toys sucked me in and I get my Masterpiece figs from BBTS, plus now I preorder my CW limbs on there since they arrive sooner) then for me the shipping cost is minimally incremental.

I HIGHLY recommend Pile of Loot if you end up doing multiple orders throughout the year from BBTS and lumping them into a quarterly (or less frequent) delivery. Currently I have a 2nd Masterpiece Optimus MP-10 in my loot bucket waiting for me, and a Fan Toys Sever (Snarl) on the way in a couple weeks or so.

Well, for $139, I bit. Perhaps TT's will list before this ships. I hate to stiff BBTS, but price is going to be everything for me in this decision...

I pre-ordered mine from bbts. I dont have amazon prime so I dont get the free shipping. 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.

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 actually considered applying when Seibertron was looking for writers recently, but I'm already pretty busy thanks to my real job and my writing job (which pays me in review samples and occasionally money) so I decided against it.

You don't need Prime to get free shipping on this (assuming you live in the US, Mexico, or Singapore), at its price the shipping will be free for non Prime members.

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.

nah, Hasbro AU has apparently been shifting warehouses, it's why we've had such a limited release of Wave 2 CW's as well.

Given he ended up on Page 30 of their big toy sale catalogue, I think it's safe to say Big W were placing more faith in Minions stuff shifting than Transformers.

My local obviously has little love for Transformers, yes we got a handful of Devies luckily but our entire TF section is 2 feet wide, oh and behind a 2 1/2 foot wide concrete pylon.

Who else is not a fan of the SDCC version of Devastator?
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.

I prefer the SDCC version to the other two. I'm a fan of the vac metal pieces and the metallic shine of the rest of the purple. Plus this version undoubtedly has better paint apps than the other two. I couldn't care less about the whole elbow thing since he will be displayed in combined mode 99.99% of the time. Plus it only costs $20 more than the regular retail release.

@SYG
I'm with you. Out of the three, the SDCC version is my favourite. Remolded elbows are dope, but if I'm just being honest with myself I can admit that at the end of the day they'll be Combined 97% of the time, so added articulation in the individual bots is kinda moot.

However, I'll be getting TT's because he'll be cheaper than the aftermarket price of SDCC's. *shrug*

I'm going to try to get him from HTS, I know it's going to be a crap shoot but I have faith that with the dwindling admiration of it I'll have a semi decent chance at grabbing one.

I'm with Shajaki, although I personally think the TT version is the best looking. I was considering taking the easy route and just buying the hasbro version, but after seeing all the cool stuff takara's comes with, (like the guns that will be lended to other figures in need) I might just go for the high end. The only thing is, how much do you reckon the behemoth will be with shipping? I imagine he's gonna be pricy, despite being less than the SDCC aftermarket.

I am really glad the SDCC version is getting some love, it means the toy has a market out there and that is always a great thing. Toys needs homes

Just a heads up though to those who say that the reason why Takara's is not benefitting to the combined mode, Takara does have a retractable visor which makes you able to alternate between the standard look from the Hasbro retail version, and the look from the SDCC version.

ALSO, here is a post I found on Talk Transformers facebook for the australians out there:

BEWARE OF THIS SCALPER ON EBAY!
---------------------------------------------------
Devastator came out in Australian Big W stores on Thursday and was instantly sold out. This low-life managed to buy EIGHT of them and is attempting to scalp seven of them for AU$330 each (even though he only paid AU$200 each). I strongly advise that you do _NOT_ purchase anything from him or any other scalper.
Remember that every time someone buys a toy at an inflated price from a scalper, you are supporting their despicable practice and encouraging them to do it again. Help fight scalpers by NOT buying from them and drive them out of business!
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fitm%2F361329629645%3F
I'm so glad I don't use eBay! smile emoticon But how funny would it be if nobody bought them, leaving him $1400 out of pocket (or forcing him to just sell them for $200 each :p)
BE PATIENT! Most stores _will_ restock. Big W's computer system indicates that most stores are waiting on an order for 8-12 units per store. Here is a list of Big W stores which are _NOT_ awaiting restock (so don't bother trying them):
Sunshine, VIC

Endeavour Hills, VIC
Parkmore (Keysborough), VIC
Forest Hill, VIC
South Yarra, VIC

Being that I am very picky about prices, I will never let a Scalper win. From retain price, I rarely pay more than the actual brick-and-mortar cost. Like a voyager: Before tax it is $25. The most I have ever bought one was Brainstorm for $28. I will not be scalped. I just wish some people were are picky as I am about prices

Anyway, in other news, I received my phone call this morning, went into Big W and put him on lay-by. The temptation to by him outright was great, but then common sense kicked in. I need to pay rent before I buy toys.

It helps him form the upper chest/head of Devastator. Rather than developing a Prowl that combined with the Constructicons, they opted for Groove instead.

All hail Groovestator. He devestates the dance floor with his mad grooves.

Nope. Yet to receive a call that they got their stock in. Not expecting to receive it either. Accepted the fact a long time ago that when you live in a remote part of the country, things either take forever to get here, or just don't make it at all.

Yeah ... no. You live in the US. You really don't know what bad distribution is. Go ask the Brits about bad distribution.

Oh man I feel so bad for them. It took 2 years for them to get the FOC voyagers.

Sure I do, I may live ~40 mins away from Chicago, but I never saw any gen figures after the skywarp/mini-con team wave; my store's have BARELY gotten cw wave 1 at all, I have to drive 30 mins+ to get to a town with half-decent cw filtration, most stores near me aren't even re-stocking generations figures; not trying to one up you, but just cuz people live in the states doesn't mean much outside of generalizations :HEADHURTS:

Point is, ALL the waves are released in the US. You might not get them locally but even if you shop through online retailers, you don't have to pay international shipping.

Australia, UK, other countries ... we regularly miss out on various waves leaving us with no choice but to either go without, import from Japan (affordable for Australia, not affordable for UK), or import from the US.

So you'll forgive me if I don't feel your pain.

So kind of you win some and loose some (for the UK and Australia loose even more?) You get some TT releases but waaaaaay overpriced and some releases don't get released after all?

Anyways, is there any other seibertron Aussie aside from Arctorro and you here you might have snagged one Devs yet? It's only those guys from China who are lucky enough because of connections and geography.

Wave 1 refreshes.
All year.
Every year.

Forever.

Plus, now's a good time to share my own experience trying to acquire Titan Metroplex

Only released at Toys R Us
Even then, only the biggest stores got him in.
Sold out/scalped most places because TRU UK doesn't know how to limit to one per customer.
TRU website says 1 left available for click and collect in the entire of the UK.
In Cardiff.
Called the cardiff store, they don't have him. It's a computer error.
Then just happen upon 2 of them sitting on a shelf in Warrington which were never listed on the site.

Welp.

Thanks to fellow fan, Antoine Lewis, of the Facebook group Plastic Crack Fiends we now know that PCF member David Jackson has found Titan Class Devastator at US retail in Sunnyvale California!

The Toys R Us price tag is confirmed at $149.99 and Mr. Jackson will provide further proof with a scan of his receipt, which will be added to this article asap.
EDIT: He has provided the receipt!
You can use the following UPC to find him at your local TRU's customer service desk.

Agh! It would be awesome to get my hands on this early for the galleries so that I can do comparison shots once and not have to transform them all twice.
