I have been holding out to buy the green version make toy "giant" devastator.
I understood that the whole set would cost about 300 to 350.
So today I saw the green version box set on ebay for 500!!! Even one there with a buy now of 800.
When did these guys get released? Can I still order them from make toy to get them for 350?
If they are sold out will I get another chance to buy them? I cant pay five hundred dollars for this..... Im so very sadened by this. I wish There would have been more talk of their release date.
Any help is much aprieciated. Thanx people.

Last time I checked BBTS, TFSource, and Toy Arena had preorders for 355.00. :MAXIMAL:

EDIT: Yup , just checked all three and preorders are still available at all three

CapturedPrey.com has it for $340. They're only selling for stupid amounts on eBay because those guys apparently have it in hand and some people are willing to waste a lot of money to get it a couple weeks sooner.

Oh thats graet! When I saw these guys selling them for almost tripple that I thought maybe I had missed out on all of them. That maybe they had stopped the press on them due to not enough orders.
Thanx for the info. So what web sight will I need to go to to order these beauties?
Does anyone have a pic of these guys yet?

Initially I thought it was said there was a small shipment of these in late July and the rest in late August.

I thought the TF Source/Big Bad Toy Store was going to get some of the first shipment, but I'm guessing not?

It seems the first small shipment only went to a few local Asian retailers and also a small batch for TFCon.

I'm guessing we won't see these until late August, early September. I could be wrong though?

Lesson learned long ago kibble. :-(

Some people out there prey on us collectors and if we arent careful well get the shaft.
I have waited a long while to get a worthy devs and I can most certainly wait another month to save 150 dollars.
I wish more people would learn patients. If these ebayers knew they couldnt get our hard earned moneys they wouldnt be so eager to grab all the good figures off the shelfs causing an artificial demand.
Result? Easier figs to find at a cheaper price. But thats a matter for another thread.
