How so?
Dude, it's about a hundred dollars!
I'f I planned on buying him, I'd at least wait until a sale or a price drop or something.
Sure, he looks cool, but I don't think he's worth that much.

All that matters to me is that I'm happy with the figure. Do I think the price is a little high? Yes. Do I think it should be $50? No. The figure is massive while being squat at the same time. I'd say $80 is more reasonable. I'm still happy with my purchase.
I'm going to laugh when this thing never gets the crazy discounts people talk about. I really don't think it's going to go 50%. You all would be lucky to see it clearanced for $80. I'm pretty sure stores are only going to keep 2-4 of them at any time so it's safe to say they'll sell.

umm look at ultimate bumblebee he was on shelves for what 3 weeks before he went on clerance? U honestly think parents are going to shell out $100 on a devi set when they would'nt shell out $80 for the most likely child favorite character? Who besides collecters are going to spend $100 for this? Most kids don't have that kind of cash and I doubt the parents will want them to buy something that expensive. I'm sorry but for $100 I want at the very least a tall robot that even squatting is larger than a leader ,and at least more than 2 paint apps on each limb.

I would actually get that sucker if I could hide the bank statement fom the little lady! Good for you finding that figure, and it is awesome that you are happy with it. Isn't funny that so many people think they know how to spend you money better than you!!!!!!!

I think it's hilarious that people think they can spend my money better than me.
I've been fiddling with the figure and I've noticed that it looks like the figure can be altered into a different position if you were to add another Constructicon to the torso. I suspect that Hasbro is going to release the 7th one as a stand alone TF, but will also be capable of merging with Devastator.
What better way to sell a $100 toy than to make a toy that kids will actually buy and then harass their parents until they drop the $100 to make one even bigger figure.

I'm more than happy with him. The excavator is freakin' huge, it's Leader size by itself. Realistically this probably shouldn't have been $100.00, more like $60.00 but I don't care I'm happy with mine.

Sounds a lot like Unicron! He took forever to get out of package! I can't wait to get Devastator from Costco!

I remember when the first movie came out and Ultimate BB hit the shelves. I wanted him, but thought nobody would pay 79.00 for him and I would pick him up cheap on clearance. Around where I live that never happened, in fact he got downright hard to find. The only time I have ever seen him on sale was a couple of weeks ago at Target, they had him on clearance for 63.00, and I should have bought him then because now they are gone and everyone else still has him at full price. I think same may be the case with Supreme Devy. I'm afraid a lot of people who think they are gonna pick this guy up dirt cheap in a couple of months are going to be disappointed. Of course I may be totally wrong, he may end up on a clearance rack for 20.00 and I'll feel like a moron for paying full price. It's just hard to gauge how these things will play out.

I noticed that too, when x-mas started approaching they disappeared. I didn't see one again until they re-released it for RotF. I hope Devastator is still around for my birthday, that's when I plan on getting it.
