I just snagged Devastator in Alexandria, Virginia. If you're on the East coast, hit your Toys R Us today.

Looks like you are driving a Fiat 500.
I'm surprised Devastator fit in your car.

I find it pretty crazy how of all places BBTS is later than actual retail (Canadian, US and Australian retail)

In my limited experiences with BBTS, they are slow to get stock. YMMV
Undecided, going to decide soon. May be cutting back on imports entirely outside of MP soon for purely personal reasons.william-james88 wrote:Thanks for the quick review Scotty! I will be getting the Takara one since the price difference is only in terms of the shipping cost so I figured, why not.
Will you be getting the takara one as well?
Heading to TRU this weekend! Were you able to use the 20%/25% off (25% with TRU card)? I told my better half if they had him we were using itMrBlack wrote:I just snagged Devastator in Alexandria, Virginia. If you're on the East coast, hit your Toys R Us today.

It is highly likely that BBTS and Amazon (maybe others too) have stock sitting around a warehouse already that they aren't allowed to sell. Would not surprise me if TRU has some special privilege or leeway to sell it "first" for the US market in their stores. It'd also be a crummy way to treat BBTS after how great a partner they were to Hasbro during Metroplex's release - not that TRU wasn't also a good partner, just seems uneven.

According to fellow user Powered Convoy, Takara Scrapper's arms were not only re-engineered to have elbows, but also done so in a way that allows them to transform differently than the arms of Hasbro Scrapper, folding up to provide more surface area to the heel, possibly making Takara's even more stable than Hasbro's.MrBlack wrote:I do wonder how stable the Takara version will be give that the Takara' version of Scrapper will have elbows. Those arms hold the majority of the right leg's weight (Scrapper doesn't have a load bearing shovel), and if the elbows aren't super stable on Scrapper, I can see the whole thing falling over with a bit of jostling.
