Also a most excellent point!Bainreese wrote:More probable, having been in international shipping & logistics, TRU's container shipments went out a few days/a week ahead of smaller orders which meant they got on the water quicker, went through the port in LA and into TRU's own distribution network. BBTS's order is noticably smaller and thus would be toward the end of production, possibly being combined with other shipments onto one container as I doubt BBTS bought a solid 40' of Dev's and thus the logistics of that just take a bit longer.
Real talk: is it actually "bore"? (searches Google. It is indeed. Well then.)Sabrblade wrote:ScottyP wrote:"Nobody would follow an un-charismatic boar like you!"
The reason for the differences between Hasbro and Takara’s Devastators was basically cost.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Except more evidence indicates that it was vice versa, with Hasbro's coming first, then Takara adding to it for theirs.ZeroWolf wrote:Imagine if takara's version was made first then the designer had to remove things in order to fit it into hasbro budget

The biggest joke is the major etailers trying to charge $300 for the SDCC version with its goofy purple-chrome paint apps that don't match the rest of the purple and lacks the upgrades of the Takara version that will cost significantly less than the SDCC version.
$299.99 pre-order pricing makes my Green Giant seem like a bargain.

The answer is always Scrapper. No question. This is why his death in the IDW books was a big freaking deal.Burn wrote:I got to thinking today (yeah I know, I shouldn't put so much pressure on my braincell) ... who do you consider to be the "leader" of the Constructicons.
I'm guessing a lot of people would consider it to be Hook as he forms the head and shoulders (look at Voltron, head and shoulders were always the leaders).
But to me, it'll always be Scrapper.

Anyway, I'll be waited my to get this figure down the road on clearance or eBay. If I can't find it for less than $100, then I'll just take a pass. I was very super excited when Devy was first announced, but as time has gone by, it just doesn't justify its price tag for me.
Saw some TRU discount stacking wizardry on one of the other boards where folks got this at TRU for $80-ish, though I'm pretty sure it involves having a TRU credit card. I'd link to it (even though it's offsite, whatevs man we're all pals), but can't find it again :/william-james88 wrote:Ironhidensh wrote:Wasn't Scrapper always shown as the leader back in the G1 'toon?

I doubt that will happen, especially on e-bay. I foresee the opposite happening actually, especially with the Takara version. That 200$ we are paying now will look like peanuts later.
Does that make anyone else think of the part in Heavy Metal War where they steal the components for the power chip rectifier absorbtion machine?!ScottyP wrote:Unrelated, I wanted to share a pic of the proper configuration of where all the Combiner pieces go in Long Haul's vehicle mode. This is such a great touch!
Alternately, the wings can attach to the back of Scrapper for a more G1-esque look. Bonecrusher and Scavenger can kind of/sort of carry the missile pods too if you want it too evoke their drills. Hook and Mixmaster though, best I can do on those with alt mode combiner piece storage is to fake it and walk away whistling.
You can use a 25% off with TRU card (15% off and 20% off without card) and that would knock it down to $112.49, but wizardy to make it $80 would be AMAZING! Most coupons we get for BRU/TRU are "In-store Only". As it stands, I may see if they can order him if he's not in-stock so I can get him at that price. It probably won't happen but it's worth a shot.ScottyP wrote:Saw some TRU discount stacking wizardry on one of the other boards where folks got this at TRU for $80-ish, though I'm pretty sure it involves having a TRU credit card.
