Pretty **** copy of Devastator right there. It's missing the right shoulder piece meaning: Scavenger is useless in either mode.

Its also available in the UK in argos (same with the nest battle pack)

I don't usually, scratch that, ever buy legends, but Devastator is good in that he has all three modes so hopefully I'll get that, it's a little pricey though($35? Ouch).

Isolated incident I'm sure. Good news for me, Wal-Mart discount thanks to connections

7 x $5 = $35, a fair price for an exclusive considering the outrageous prices for Walmart Star Wars exclusives. Definitely getting it.

We'd better get this guy at the Wal-mart I work at. The Fury of Fearswoop didn't show up until Christmas, and neither did Voyager Ramjet and Skywarp. Of course, Super Tuner, Masterpiece Skywarp, and the Universe Ultra's came at around the right time, so it might only be a couple weeks.

My only worry is that we sold a LOT of Transformers around Christmas, but now the pegs are overflowing, so we haven't gotten any NEST figures yet, and I'm Bludgeonless....

'Sbeen available in Argos for a week or so, thought you guys would know. £22 too - Legends are going for £5 to £6 separately here so I'll be interested to see what it hits other stores at. Why would you still be ordering the Takara version when we all knew this was coming out eventually, couldn't you wait?

I got a little overzealous I've been wanting this guy for awhile an priced him out on a couple of web sites and $60 was kinda the base price i was finding so i splurged and got the Takara one for what i was thinking was cheaper, plus i wasn't sure when he was coming out. I figured he'd hit the $40 mark so with shipping i thought i was doing good. dang it all. Oh well too late now at least i got him lol

oh yeah sorry for the double post earlier my Blackberry was acting up

News Credits: 20 · Sun Jan 31, 2010 12:18 am

Definitely getting this. I like movie Dev and this guy can sit at my desk.
:BOT:

Awesome, and cheaper than I expected. I'm all over this one. It's better priced than the full size version that's already out, anyway. .

Sun Jan 31, 2010 2:07 am

cool! can transform into individual robots right?

There's a red blotch by the left foot. Looks like a piece fell off and landed in the cavity of the packaging.

You are correct, that is the missing piece.

I think it's great that they released it stateside, I really am, but I just don't think I can find myself buying it.

The price is reasonable, and I've heard reports of $32.00, not $35.00
But it's ugly, and without Crazydevy's attachments (the wrecking balls are silly though..) it feels incomplete. They do add to the toy, but that's probably another $20-30.00 and by that point, you're almost to the sale price of a full size Devastator.

I just can't part with that kind of money, not willingly.
