- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
In my quest to get all the UW/CW characters I can, I have actually come a long way in a short amount of time. however the next one I am eyeing the BIG GUY UW-04 Devastator. Surprisingly, unlike most UW, he is still readily in stock on several online retailers. I wonder at what point they may actually drop the price to liquidate stock? It has been out *basically* since end of last year, so a good 8 months +. I would imagine most folks that wanted him already have him, unless like me, they are actually waiting to see a price drop (unlike UW 5-7 so far which are actually skyrocketing in price).
I know it has the additional posablity on some figures, and weapons for each constructicon...(which is why I prefer it to Hasbro's) but that to me does not justify about a $50 dollar price difference between Takara & Hasbro's version. If this was becoming scarce like the others, I may have taken the bait....Oddly enough..
If Takara's had actually been smaller (scaled down to 6 deluxe size), had it come with the window box packaging, and their own artwork (vs using Hasbro's) I probably would have paid around $200 for it. Oh well...I'll just keep checking daily
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics
Wish List of Modern Combiners: Road Caesar, Monstructor & Dinoking (proper size to fiction), Landcross, Guard City, Battle Gaia, & G2 Defensor. Wish List of Titans:Metrotitan,Majin Zarak
