Course, the only question big enough to match a box of that size is:
Any sign of six extra guns in with him?

I think this is in the wrong section, I believe it was meant for the fisher price display.. Right?
I look at the picture you responded to and I honestly do not see anything meriting that kind of a comment. Yes, CW Devy has flaws, but he's impressively articulated for a figure his size and what problems there are do not subtract from his impressiveness. They especially do not deserve to be hated upon at every turn.
Tim is an attention seeker. It's best to ignore him.
Yeah, but unfortunately the INTERNET is in no shortage of hate. Now if only we could harness the power of hate... channel it into energon cubes we vanquish the Autob - whoop... sorry... lost my head for a second thereOptimizzy wrote:you know, I thought this was a forum for fans of transformers.

I mean, yeah there are flaws, and yeah you can point them out...but POINT THEM OUT. Don't just waste space trashing things. Jeez guys. You aren't cool just by being contrary.

That, handguns for the team and purple fists for Devastator would have made the SDCC version perfect.

I dont understand. Why wouldnt the takara version be even more expensive than this? And have you thought of the import costs when getting it from japan? the shipping will be ridiculous. You can always buy BBTS, but you live in canada right? So let's assume the Takara best case scenario is 200$ US.
Shipping to canada from the states will be 30$ at least. You will be charged 10$ duty and an extra 15% guaranteed tax fee for such a huge purchase/box.
So you would end up paying about 331$ cdn for Takara's instead of about 180$ cdn for the hasbro version at TRU (I am basically cancelling out the taxes with the employee discount). How is this not more worthwhile?

Your logic may well be right. I haven't imported much recently.
