Today I was throwing away garbage at work when i cam across the toy departments papers.... and I happened to find this

basically it's the paper that tell what goes on the endcaps and such or what are "featured items" I looked down to see the Devastator 5 pack and it looks like it's going for $30 ... not bad ... it's a "featured item for week 10" and wal*marts are at week 8 so he should be poping up in store relatively soon so keep your eyes open :grin:

*crosses fingers that this gets news-ified*

EDIT: now that i think of this it might be an order sheet..... but still it says he is $30 and a "feature item" for the first week in april so keep your eyes open

That's great news. Did you happen to stumble across any news when the Ravage and Rumble Alts were going to show up?

Posted: **Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:34 am**

about time and at a $30 price point not shabby at all for even just a repaint.

Ah soon the Classics collection will be complete.

well now have the stock number so I can hit the scanners to see if they are in stock, my walmart is netorious for never restocking the shelves. Have to keep us posted when you see the shipment arrive.

$30?

Oh this will be a shelfwarmer

Front paged and credited!

Front paged and credited Cujo! Good work you super sleuth!

This would be good news for me, but I'm in Canada and Canadian Wal-marts get the short end of the hockey stick for exclusives.

To the victor goes the spoils I suppose. As Leo would say, I doff my hat to you.

Thankfully I am getting this as we speak from my friend in HK. Only way to get these dang US exclusives at a reasonable price alongside the shipping of other items like Alt Rumble and Ravage. Thank God for HK!

I can't wait! Devastator's going to be awesome!

:Sniff: Truley the final nail in the coffin for classics. I hope they announce some new ones soon.

*sighs*

I was sold at $20.00, but $30.00? I don't know. I'll have to seriously rethink this one for sure.

This is good investigative reporting. Still I don't know if I'll be buying him.

Posted: **Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:00 pm**

Awesome. Can't wait. These were my favorite combiner molds for Energon. The price is about what I expected too.

Posted: **Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:10 pm**

30 bucks... as opposed to the near 60 that the online sites are charging. CANT WAIT

Posted: **Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:16 pm**

Will.buy.all.actual.Classics...

I hope this one hits the Uk like the UM SW two pack.

Good to hear it. We all look forward to the release of that monster.

Finally. I've been wondering when these guys were going to come out.

I don't mind paying $30 either. I've just got done paying that for the TRU Exclusive Soundwave on the 10th. Payed $32.40 actually, but that's just 29.99 + 2.41 in local sales tax. Besides that you're buying 5 figures (Even if each limb mold is used twice).

Only reason I didn't get Mirage and Jetfire (the only non-repaint/retool/mini-con figures I don't have yet) that day is that I noticed TRU over-charges for those figures the way Kay-Bee does. I would have been paying the same for Jetfire that I did for Soundwave, so I passed. I don't mind 32.40 for exclusives because with few exceptions you can't get them anywhere else (hence the exclusiveness), but for figures I know for a fact I can save $10 on when I buy it with my Devastator set? I would have had to have been really fraking desperate to get Jetfire to pay an extra $10 for it. Or maybe willing to buy it from hasbrotoyshop.com (I can't remember what they charge for shipping & handling).

$30? I was thinking like $20

It's just G1-colored repaints of the Energon Constructicons,
it's hardly anything to get worked up about.
