We got him in stock at Argos Worthing, but the catalogue number hasn't been released yet so you can expect to see him available in Argos's all over England when the new catalogue comes out later this month. With any luck.

He looks effing good too. The size and the detail look great, and certainly make up for the lack of separate robot modes. His light & sound gimmick is also very amusing (and pokeable through the packaging, much to my delight), especially his announcement of "I. Am. DEV. VEY. STATOOOOR".

I'm undecided about this guy- not whether or not to get him, but when. I'm sure he won't sell well, so he'll likely be around a long time and eventually clearanced, or perhaps one of the big toy retailers will put him on sale very shortly to jumpstart sales (pleasepleaseplease), as we've seen with other figs in the line. I've got a bunch of debit card reward points to cash in, I could get as much as a $50 TRU card towards him. Gotta think.

People complaining the price tag of this toy, USD$100 for the US market.

Look at what overseas fans are paying, Singapore price is SGD$219.90. About USD$147.
Taiwan price tag is NTD$4999, which is around USD$151 #-o

Canada is not expected to get them until October at TRU. Wallyworld will more than likely get them in sooner. Will get him just for the sheer size!

Wow, pls snap some photos and review it if possible. Thanks

I hope it doesn't come that soon. Cuz I've gotta keep saving up for other figures that are already out. The waves of figures for this toyline are coming out too quickly.

Yeah, dude you definately should put up a review and stuff on here cuz the only reason I haven't pre-ordered it is because (1.) my wife and I are slightly worried it'll be not as big as expected and (2.) it won't be very well detailed...I mean, I'm looking to expect a Devastator bigger than my baby! :mrgreen:

But we don't have him in the in-store laminated catalogues yet, so make sure you take the number off the internet before you go searching you're local stores!

The catalogue number is 087/4980 and the stock for your local store can be checked on both the UK and IRL websites.

by **Superior Prime09** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 3:54 pm

Yeah us US peeps has to wait till August to get him. I'll defs be getting him. also HA Bumblebee (very dissapointed with Cannon BB and the first RoTF BB).

by **Mechas8n** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:56 pm

Im a little more tempted by this having seen the movie and discovered that It really IS movie accurate just having the vehicle modes.

And Ive got some round fishing weights and some wire I want to make it more...ahem..Movie accurate

I don't plan on getting him.
My brother, he's already planned on having him battle Stratosphere.

What!!! No wrecking balls? Or a little Simmons figure to place under them? Booooo

Seriously though, I thought this figure would be larger honestly. It seemed to be larger from the photos this board obtained from this years Toy Fair. For $100 this seems very overpriced. Yet another marketer at work no doubt. God I hate marketing people. The only thing I found entertaining about this figure was the fact it had a scooper for his bum. But compared to the Prime Leader Class it's alot smaller then I would expect. Hell I've seen Power Ranger Zords bigger then this in terms of toys and for alot cheeper too.

For me you have:
1.Overpriced goods
2.Hyped size
3.It's doesn't combine from the constructicons themselves
4.Very limited articulation

Nah....I'm good. I'm sure I'll find this thing in a garage sale someday in which I can re-work it as a prop for a film or maybe just rework it all together to make it actually look like Devastator. Till then I'll spend my $100 on the original vehicle Voltron instead of his distant cousin.

Sigh........At least Leader Class Prime is awesome!!!! Two swords! You just can't beat that :lol:

Laters,
Josh

Wrecking balls or gtfo

Everybody keeps complaining about Supreme Devastator's price and that they don't transform. If memory serves me correctly they didn't transform just combined. The Constructicons that did transform got there a&%es kicked by the Autobots.

Here's a spending figure on the Constructicons that do transform:
Currently 3 Voyagers (Mixmaster, Demolisher, Long Haul) @ $22 each = $66; and Deluxe Rampage $12 ($88 I've already spent).
Now if they make a transforming Scrapper, High Tower, Overload they would add another $36 (deluxes) to $66 (Voyagers).
Add that all up, price ranges from $114 to $144 depending on what "class" Hasbro makes them; more if you want to buy the G1 color Constructicon variants too.

So either way we're all going to spend about the same getting whatever version of these robots are accurate.

I'm considering the transforming EZ Collection/Legend Devastator if it gets released in the US.

BTW, I'll add balls to whatever version I buy, just need 2 round fishing sinkers.

I was wondering, according to argos website there is not a leader class assortment - have you been getting jetfire in yet?

In every series we sell each leader separately, we have Optimus and supposedly Megatron somewhere in the stockroom, though I haven't seen him and they're both under different catalogue numbers.
As I said before we're getting a new catalogue in around the 23rd so Jetfire should be in there, but don't quote me on that.

There's definitely one in Lyons Farm, probably in the others too, but I'd be very sad if you took the one in LF away from me

Kidding :p

What are the odds of this thing being on clearance???

i mean 90% of people in here are getting it plus add the rich spoiled kids and true collectors.

at the end we might pay more than $100.00 if we wait coz it will sold out in storesand double in price on EBAY if we decide to get it later hoping to get it on sale.

I'm not

Unless it goes down to £50 clearance within the next year...
Even then I'll STILL try and get it on Argos discount XD
