Transformers ROTF Devastator And Human Alliance Sideswipe Found At Retail

He does look cool, but not cool enough for the price, IMO. I don't mind that the individual 'bots don't transform into robots (how often does anyone transform them into robots, anyway? I know I don't), however, the lack of paint apps is a real let down. For Hasbro to justify the price at that scale is questionable, at best. I can only imagine it's "movie" fever and people will pay the price. Of course, some may think it's worth it, though. To each their own.

Drop the price to $60 and paint it Constructicon green, then I'll buy. Otherwise, pass for me.


Good find though!

want.

Guess I can be counted among the "crazies" on here to, because this will be buy on sight for me.

I just wish Hasbro would stop the BS of getting the new figures to the western US first. Everything shows up in California, the Pacific coast, Arizona, Texas lately; last time I checked there are TF fans all over the country. Hasbro is in Rhode Island, how about starting at the east coast and going west for once?

Jaws, It's not BS it's logistics. Would you rather Hasbro raise their prices just so you can get them on the east coast first? That's what they would have to do. They are imported from China and are going to hit the west coast first unless you've figured out some way to teleport the product. If you have you shouldn't have a problem popping to the west coast to pick them up.

If the individual vehicles Transformed as well as combined into Devastator id get it, since they don't not really that interested in him. The price is something i'm not really into either, considering.

Was at TRU Vienna, WV, yesterday. Nothing new.

I don't really care that some of you think I'm crazy for dropping $100 on Devastator. I dropped $100 on a MIB Braver a week ago. Keep in mind that my name is robofreak for a very specific reason.

All that matters to me is that I'm happy with the figure. Do I think the price is a little high? Yes. Do I think it should be $50? No. The figure is massive while being squat at the same time. I'd say $80 is more reasonable. I'm still happy with my purchase.

I'm going to laugh when this thing never gets the crazy discounts people talk about. I really don't think it's going to go 50%. You all would be lucky to see it clearanced for $80. I'm pretty sure stores are only going to keep 2-4 of them at any time so it's safe to say they'll sell.

The thing that really annoys me about Devastator is that even though Hasbro saved oodles of cash with not having to engineer robot forms into the individual component pieces they couldnt spring for decent paint apps. OH NO, we get mainly vehicles made up of one or two. These figures should look worn and dirty ( I know that one has something on the shovel or something ) instead of looking like they were made from Lego or something.

Having said that, I will be buying one when they go on sale in TRU or Argos as they will no doubt do in a few months.

umm look at ultimate bumblebee he was on shelves for what 3 weeks before he went on clerance? U honestly think parents are going to shell out $100 on a devi set when they would'nt shell out $80 for the most likely child favorite character? Who besides collecters are going to spend $100 for this? Most kids don't have that kind of cash and I doubt the parents will want them to buy something that expensive. I'm sorry but for $100 I want at the very least a tall robot that even squatting is larger than a leader ,and at least more than 2 paint apps on each limb.

Dude we weren't in a bad recession as we are now.. so I can't see them buying a Devastator at even $60.00... but then again $60.00 is the magic number for Xmas.. so we may not see a price reduction till then..in the off chance someone does want it and will buy it at $100.00 USD.. I am going to wait till I see it on clearance, or atleast in the $55.00 range.. that is the most I can justify to myself at buying a slightly larger then leader sized figure that transforms from Robot into tonka trucks..

Dude, I went to Toys R Us today. Wave 4 and 5 still not out
