For a while there, it seemed like everyone but Walmart was getting Combiner Wars Devastator, but that's about to change! Walmart's website has Devastator listed...but there's a catch, one that is a bit confusing, seeing as it's only on their mobile website via the smartphone app and not the actual .com, currently. (If anyone reading this knows of a method to make it work with the actual website, please contact the news staff asap so we can correct this and link people to it. Thank you in advance.)
With the news that even Target had posted a solicitation for the upcoming green and purple behemoth, I'm guessing that if you're anything like me, you were wondering when Walmart might post it, so on a whim I decided to scan the UPC with the Android app and sure enough it popped up on my screen. (The images are mirrored below.) Problem is, no matter how you search for it, either by name or the Walmart number, it just will not show up on the .com website. I'm sure that will change as we come closer to the release date, which is anywhere between July 29th (according to TRU) and August 1st according to Entertainment Earth and Amazon.
Until then, check out the mobile app's listing for the Constructicon set, as well as a price confirmation of $149.96

Well, it was more like I wasn't going to get any at all, and deal with not getting one. But I think I am gonna have to pick up TT's

I'm caving under the pressure of resisting TT's Devastator. It's almost painful now, knowing all of these changes exist;
On an somewhat unrelated note, does anybody know what the point conversion is for sites like tfsource? is it 1 point = $1? Figure if I can't go through the likes of amiami, I might as well get a ton of points from this behemoth.

I don't think I could ever order from Walmart again. I ordered a PS3 from them and they shipped it to me in a box twice its size without bothering to pad it out at all. The thing was just rattling around in there.

TT does seem like such a leap in quality, but without knowing the price - and whether or not I'd be able to get my hands on one - I'm still going to go with the Hasbro version for now.
(Maybe I'll just keep it mint in box and, should I be able to get hold of a TT Devy, just sell the Hasbrostator on?)

No, just NO!
Why is Takara making such great adjustments to the mold?
No I have to wait for that, and I was eager to get Devastator asap.
This is major reltooling, but they went crazy with the extra combiner figures, especially Groove.
Why aren't Hasbro & Takara on the same page?
Is anyone still getting the SDCC version at all?
Elbow joints, other weapons, it's a big deal.

I have to say, this is an incredibly well engineered figure/figures.
When I first broke them out of the box my first thought was "damn these seem like upscaled KO's". Simply because of their size.
But then I got to transforming them. A couple are simplistic, others require a bit more work. But all that is because of how things come together.
Scrapper and Mixmaster connections to Long Haul is rather simplistic, basically just plug them in.
Connecting Hook to Long Haul requires lining up and plugging in five different points. Suffice to say, they hold well together.
Bonecrusher and Scavenger are just one point connections, solid connections though.
The hardest part I found though was the chest shield as this plugs into Bonecrusher and Scavengers treads, two points on Hook and two clips onto Long Haul.
Whichever version you go with, be it as soon as you can ... paint apps, or knees and elbows, you really won't be disappointed. They've done a fantastic job with the Constructicons.
Now my problem is ... for the first time in years I actually have a reason to contribute to the End of Year Round-Up, and it's going to be hard to decide between Ultra Magnus and Devastator.

Now here is the big question, it is worth the newly revealed 224.99 price tag?
Because to me, it isn't, at all. It's the superior version sure, but 75$ for a bit of paint, a new head, some guns and a better joints is a bit much. And you all know the shipping will be a pain in the ass. If it is anywhere close to that when amiami or hlj comes around to posting their preorders, I will just wait for a discount on the hasbro version and call it a day.

Stop it already Sabr! I'm already in love with this, the pre order wait makes it even more difficult

Sweet merciful crap I don't know if I can do the $224.99 + shipping from BBTS. I figured shipping was gonna be $15 (dilusional!!). So $150-ish shipped for Hasbro, $180-ish shipped for SDCC, $240-ish shipped for Takara?! The "-ish" is accounting for tax/shipping. Wow. I guess I was figuring $10 more a figure vs. Hasbro. Not that it's a bad price, I'm just not sure I can swing that. I think I'm gonna go the Burn route and just buy this guy when I see him. He's amazing as is, the only time they'll be apart is in alt mode or in bot mode for a recreation of the shuttle massacre from TF:TM

Glad to hear he did not disappoint. Good to hear positive stuff like that!
PS: Did you notice the treads lock into Long Haul in combined mode? So he has both a shoulder connection and a lower tread connection in addition to the chest piece as another connection for the arms?

Never rains but it pours...
Kapow Toys have opened their pre-orders for UW Devastator!
http://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformers ... posit.html
Full price is estimated to be around the £159.99-£179.99 mark, compared to £149.99 for CW (discounted to £129.99 for those who pre-ordered and pay the balance before July 15th).
I still have my pre-order for CW Devy, but I think I've been swayed by elbows and guns. The difference in price, I'd probably end up paying for 3rd party elbows and guns.

BBTS costs more yes?
But the killer deal hurt would be the shipping and the taxes. Hate this hobby of ours

- Re-engineered legs for Bonecrusher to give him better knees
Stop it already Sabr! I'm already in love with this
Now here is the big question, it is worth the newly revealed 224.99 price tag?
Because to me, it isn't, at all. It's the superior version sure, but 75$ for a bit of paint, a new head, some guns and a better joints is a bit much. And you all know the shipping will be a pain in the ass. If it is anywhere close to that when amiami or hlj comes around to posting their preorders, I will just wait for a discount on the hasbro version and call it a day.

That is great, I am definitely planning on getting the Takara edition. That is quite a spread in prices though. I wonder if BBTS will lower their prices to compete. There is one thing though, on the RobotKingdom page it says the price is 25000 Yen, which at today's exchange rate is $203 (or that is what Google is telling me the conversion is) I certainly hope for the lower price though.

I don't understand why people get excited about RK pricing when their shipping costs can only be described as bloated and borderline extortion.
Even if you save a few dollars overall compared to BBTS or TFsource, what are you going to do if you have a defective figure? Do you think RK is going to promptly and easily resolve it?
But whatever.

That PE set is very tempting... The add-on's for the individual figures' arms, Dev Mixmaster foot, and Scavenger and Hook vehicle improvements are good enough for me...
The extra head add-on's are just icing.
Yeah, it will most likely be pricey...
Thankfully I've been really selective with my purchases from this line.

If I get any of the add ons, they'll be the replacement arms from Dr. Wu, and whatever comes with them. I think the replacement head, hands, and gap fillers are cool, but I don't need them. I am trying to save as much money as possible.

It will be expensive. Think I paid £20+ for their Bludgeon upgrade. But it was worth it. So yeah, over £40 for either set. But it will be my definitive Devastator, so I want to get it right!

So Burn, you enjoying your devastator properly? Have you tried out the 'high kick' pose? I wonder about the solidness of the joints and center of gravity.
