Can confirm for canada too. That set didnt last too long.

But anyways it doesn’t matter, Takara is releasing it for their own market. How it performed elsewhere is irrelevant to them.

I had my SS69 upgraded with the DNA Design kit. It was okay in combined mode, but the thing was unstable and not fun to fiddle with. So I ended up selling it to my local geek store for 300$CAN in store credits.
The thing barely last a week inside that store before being sold, even at 600$CAN.

So, I bet that as soon as the preorders are open for the SS69 reissue, it will sell out quickly. Even at full price, plus taxes, and the high shipping costs.

Makes sense, they are gonna need the funds from these reissues for the Armada toys.

March, June, September...October in 21 ss devy on sale, then they really lowered the price after failing to clear them out by December 2022...they were still available elsewhere for £150 for well into 2023

Tue Dec 20, 2022 4:22 am

day 20 of hasbro pulse advent calendar is tranformers anda bigger selection of offerinbgs compared to most days but a lot of stuff can be found cheaper elsewhere still so honorable mentions are

Tonkatron £88 (as much as I like G1 toys I dont think the quality of the constructicons is worth this but each to their own)
SS Devy £125

In the U.S., no brick-and-mortar mass retailer ever carried the Devastator giftset at all. I only ever got to see the set in person at conventions.

Wonder how much Megatron will cost this time.

As for Devastator, I kinda hope Takara gives it the nice paint brush up. Not likely, but I can hope, it's the only reason I didn't get SS69, I had the retail releases and there was minimal reason to double dip

I see, that makes more sense now. Funny how one market can get oversaturated while in others demand well exceeds the supply. Not a new phenomenon, ofc

So the "toon" version for MP-36, that means it's NOT going to look exactly as the 1st edition release? Sorry for the stupid question! :VEHI:

MP-36 was the toon-accurate version from the get-go. The "Mp-36+" release was the toy-colored version.

Never cared for the "cartoon accurate" direction they went for the Masterpiece line. Makes the figures look way too basic especially for that price tag. Let me know when the original MP Starscream mold is going to get re-issued. I would love a second chance to get that version of Thundercracker. (With all QC issues fixed of course!)

You'll have a better chance just hunting down the original.
That's what I did and I got my Greenscream at a reasonable price some years ago.
