Well, looks like its gonna be another slow bleed from CD...sighs. Oh well, at least I can trust their stuff to be good, just not happy that we may end up paying more for the add-ons then the figures itself again.

Wow, Crazy Devy is really getting ridiculous $30 for just a head. I really hate to pay that much for just a head but I'm sure it will be sold out in a weeks time. Also, what happened to the 14th?

Crazy Devy is screwing up now.

He's forgetting why these sold so well to begin with and not acknowledging people's distaste for these multiple releases.

These cost way too much to piece out sets for multiple combiners. I am in for devastator but that where I have to draw the line. Hopefully they finish up devestator in one more set.

Seriously. This.

And someone needs to ask Crazy Devy if they plan to release more to Predaking or if it's just the head, like Superion. I wish they'd just come on out and say what they're planning like the other 3rd party guys.

That's not really a massive improvement. I'm not nearly as interested in Predaking bits as I was for Devastator. I won't let myself be bled a piece at a time again. Oh, and what's up with the crooked molding/paint app on the head/croth piece for Rumble and Frenzy? That's pretty crappy for a couple bucks worth of plastic at a premium price point.

The one thing this toy has always needed are some large shoulder cannons, a white back I planned on taking Metroplex's large black guns and trying to modify them. But yeah think oversized crazy shoulder guns from the "call of the primitives"

WOW!! $30 bucks for just a head!! i think CD is in it for the money than listening to the fans or understanding what Transformers is all about.

Devastator needs at least one more set like someone said, I hope theres more than just a head for Predaking and myself would like to see stuff for Abominus and Piranacon combiners...

yeah, thirty is asking a lot, even for a light head. Crazy Dev should sell them for 20 (minus the light) and make a profit by increasing the volume of the production run. It's not like people don't want to upgrade their combiners. Was there ever a point where Predaking's head lit up in any official fiction?

As for other combiners? How many survived to this day, and how many of them got reissued is the big question for future releases.

$40 at BBTS.

Seriously. Just for a head. They just need to finish Devestator and then put a bit more thought into their pricing.

so no-one here's admitting that they'd pay $30 for head?

Wasn't their first product, the Devy replacement head with led, around $12.00? This just doesn't look different enough from the original to make me want to buy it. The leds are cool and all, but I'll never use them.

Yes, it was. They've steadily increased their prices since.

If these parts were released as a set at a price similar to FP's Superion upgrade I'd be tempted. There's no way I'd pay that price for a 10 grams of plastic.
