It looks like CrazyDevy has an answer to Junkion Blacksmith's JB-07 Devastator upgrade set. They've just updated their website with the following:

CDMW-01, 02, 05, 08, 09, 24 & 25

That's all the individual Devastator sets plus the Omega Supreme upgrade. No word on pricing or release date as of yet.

After buying all the sets... this combo pack makes me really sad/cranky/miffed. If it's significantly cheaper, I might be sulking for weeks.

Holy crap do I feel you gothsaurus!! I'm still waiting on my Mixmaster Barrel part that is still on pre-order from TFSource. And if this turns out to be cheaper then gundam-it.... :BOOM:

guess im gonna be the first to say "It's about time". anyway i have all but the upcoming devy set so i dont need to get this pack

Boxset, hell yeah!

I'm not going to discuss any possibility of a price difference, but it would be nice to get a decent discount for getting all parts at once besides the tied-in discount of shipping one vs 7 different sets individually.

Gothsaurus, I would be miffed too (I'm working through the Predaking upgrades currently). However, liken it to the "early adopter" syndrome for technology - 2008 I paid $750 for a 32" HD tv that's only 720p, today I can get that for half the price. But it's hard to not think that someone is living the Tony Montana lifestyle just because some toy enthusiasts wanted to make the figures better.

I also think it's worthwhile to produce the set AFTER the release of the reissue Devastator - make sure colors match and that pieces fit CORRECTLY (reissue Predaking seems to suffer from the upgrades when original might not).

Thu Sep 22, 2011 3:28 pm

oooh. I wonder if these are retooled to fit the reissue Devastator (????)

I guess the real thing that makes me frustrated is the lack of communication. The fans don't know if a complete set is coming... or how many pieces make the complete Devy... a finished price... or what he even looks like assembled.

With individual piece shipping at $9, I'm guessing that alone would save a good $50+. #-o

But yeah. That aside, the parts still have been TOP notch quality, great design, flawless color match (the competition set doesn't match in its green color), and the order process, packing, and business correspondence have all been very professional. :APPLAUSE:

Supposing I have to shrug off the price/being left a bit in the dark... and take solace in the fact that I do have a great looking Devastator. ??? >:oP

I'll bet it will be as pricey as buying them individually. If not, then i'm glad I waited....

Not sure if I was clear about this before, but here goes:

I would like the contents of the boxed set to be consistent. CD has released different color versions of their pieces throughout this time (new versions have silver), so depending on when someone started purchasing these or found them, they may not all be uniform.

My other concern which I was clear about was compatibility, especially with the reissue coming out. I'd rather they wait until this is released, then test fit each piece and make sure that colors match.

A drop in price would be great, but I don't think I would count on it.

Since I bought all of the Devy items throughout I'll be really annoyed if a box set turns out to be cheaper.

On the bright side it looks like they're FINALLY done with these two guys. I don't think I'll buy another CD product. You just never know how many YEARS it'll be until they're done.

For all who wonder if the parts will fit the reissue...it's the same mold and it will fit.

So the 2010 reissue of Predaking was not the same mold as the previous release? Because it seems the foot plate upgrades for Predaking do not damage the original version, but the 2010 version will strip part of Headstrong.

If you've just spend money to get one of these figures in addition to upgrade pieces, I think it's worth knowing this type of information before purchasing. Hell, I'd rather CD hold off selling until this could be confirmed, to avoid a costly mistake (for us consumers, not necessarily them).

My suspicion is they will price themselves out of their own market.

But I'd be pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

>:oP

News to me man.

What if you have a Devastator but not an Omega Supreme ??? Theres always a stupid catch. This is a last ditch effort by crazydevy to stay afloat with TFCC Devastator coming out.

Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:05 am

i preordered the devastator reissue and have no intention of adding anything to him. as hes just fine as he is to me. but if they offer it at a decent price they will make alot of people who are interested really happy (if the price is right)

They should have just done this to begin with...

There is no TFCC Devastator coming out. TFC Toys and the collectors club are different things completely.

Maybe we'll have a miracle and be wrong about the price. I would like to see what my Devastator will look like with all the upgrades.

Plus, while I'm thinking about this, is the leg extension going to be the only upgrade they are doing for Omega?
