After hours and days and months of hunting.
My wishes and dreams come true!

DEVY IS MINE!

Mmwwaaaahhaaaaaaa!

Now I have an entirely different problem....
I have never purchased an thing this big. Not all at once, anyway.

I'm 2 nervous 2 open the danger thing.

What if it's a disappointment? What if it sucks? Should I resell it?

I don't know.

I've been staring at it for 3 days.

:BOOM:

How would you not know if it sucks? Do you buy random items without any research?

1. Yes, I do.

B) I did a bit. Here, Shartimus video review, etc...

Lastly - 8-)

Fourth.... I don't know!

Primus knows it's gonna happen...

Step 1 - Shut up.
Step 2 - Open it.
Step 3 - Enjoy it.

In the event you find yourself unable to complete Step 3, go back to Step 1. :-P

But seriously, just relax, it's a great set of figures. Ignore all those who nitpick about little things like articulated elbows and individual weapons or colour schemes. Enjoy him for yourself, not because of what others have said.

Aww man here you are with your recently acquired Devastator and here I sit like a sucker powerless as I continue to wait for Takara! :-P

Hey good luck to your Z3ROhour, hope it's all epic. :VEHI:

Seriously, open that guy up. He is awesome. You will not be disappointed. the individual bots are fun, sturdy, and look great. The combined mode it just awesome.

Still thinking.

Japanese version is so much better!
y fix the elbow issues only after we have already gone with Hasbro?

That's not fair. They should have to send out replacement parts or partial refunds.

Ethics r hard.

AND

I DON'T WANNA PAY $200 +s\h for THE SAME BOTS
BUT FIXED!
.
once again the Hasbro consumer is firmly n forcefully FRAKKED.

:-x

!@#$%&+!

I also just got Devy, tonight actually. And then I also just learned that Takara's Scrapper will have elbows and Long Haul improved ones(I knew about the individual weapons but not those changes). The Takara version does look a little better, but not $50+ better.

So all in all, oh well! I'm not disappointed because I decided back when they first showed the pics that the combined mode would be worth it, and it is. Having a Devastator that doesn't fall apart when I pick it up and is considerably larger than most Transformers is truly awesome.

I know I'm posting right after myself, but I have a Scrapper question:

According to Baltmatrix's review the tab on the shovel that connects to the body and forms the foot is fragile. I looked at mine and it seems solid enough, but is it a known breaking point?

And speaking of which, the lack of elbows and individual gun is a bit of a disappointment, but hey it helps creativity:

Duke Of Luns, I recently picked up CW Devy and I also recently viewed the same review. I took extra care w Scrapper but as far as I can tell he is solid and doesn't seem to be prone to being fragile.

I have the TT Dev and the tab snapped after a week. Now I'm investing in heavy duty glue to fix it. :-x
