Thanks for the compliments on the review. As for a mass retail release, it has not been spotted yet. I got mine from BBTS. The only retail location I know it is at is Puzzle Zoo, but they are only in California, and Texas. Also they sell it for $150. From what I understand Devastator should start to show up retail wise in August with the fall reset. Also I think the formal class name for Devastator is "Combiner Class" not the misconception of supreme class

I mean, $150 for 7 teeny underpainted, not-exactly-pretty bots that combine to a gestalt just barely taller than Deluxe-class Skids?

I paid $125.54 for a MASSIVE figure with 20 times more mass than that EZ thingy and I don't regret it at all.

Where are you getting your figures? BBTS has the full set of 7 EZ Constructicons for $54.99.

A case of 24 is $164.99, which would be three sets of 7 and a few extras.

Looks cool in robot mode.
The individual vehicles look really cruddy.

I would not pay current prices for this toy. I live in the UK, and the price is £99.99 at most retailer (more at some), that's a little over $160.00 US, which is a lot for what seems like an unfinished toy.

Just for the record, Ultimate Bumblebee is almost the same price over here, but I would consider that if I saw him.

He isn't worth the 100 bucks. If he was more detailed, had a better paint job, his components had robot modes,and the vehicles were more detailed, he might be worth 80. It would be fine if an Overload was in there, but otherwise he is seriously overpriced.

After looking at the photo gallery i might actually save up to buy this. It has a cool robot mode but one thing that looks cool about it is it's Vortex Grinder.

Now that I look at Devy again, I wonder how he would size up with the Masterpiece Voltron figure, cuz he'd make one sweet RoBeast (so long as he remains in robot mode).

Would only buy at half the price for the pleasure of repainting.

It's galleries like these that make these figures so appealing. Thanks Ryan.

Hi.I'm Hary Izmir,and I'm new new member of Seibertron.com.I'm from Indonesia.Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is really big hit in Indonesia's cinemas.people have to line up for hours for the last show in all cinemas,until TODAY!So,the toys selling is rising,but with one litle problems:the PRICE!due to the currency between dollars and rupiahs,the prices are out off control now.I just bought Leader Class Optimus Prime and Megatron for the price of Rp.1,300,000 (about US $ 113).Can you imagine?Now,we won't dream to buy Devastator for the price US$ 100 (exluding shipping cost,tax and store's margin).
To be honest I'd relally want this toy,but probably wait until clearance sell,which I predict will take so loooong (for your information:the Transformers 1st Movie Toy Lines are still at normal price here,or perhaps I should ask my friends in USA or Canada to buy there and deliver it to Indonesia.

Thank you all,it's really nice to know you all here in Seibertron.com...

Hope I can update any news 'bout Transformers news in Indonesia.

Hey, welcome to the site Hary! Those are pretty crazy prices, however it's like most of the world, other than the US. Up here in Canada we pay about $108 for both Leader Prime and Leader Megatron, so it's not half bad there in Indonesia! Once again, welcome to the boards!

I got the prices from some local store sellers I've been dealing with frequently. I got floored when I first heard the prices, and when I went on to eBay they were just about the same. Maybe they were all being Scalpers with this opportunity? Or maybe they got their prices set wrong. I never look at BBTS, I'm not comfortable with all this worldwide delivery/online payment hulabaloo.

But seriously, I'm not joking. 7 little things for the price of the case of 24 (or a supreme-class).

Do you mean you saw the prototype of Voyager-class Mixmaster? If not...

Really? Then there's been quite a bit of prototype pics of him going around, most of them recycled images. For the ones that aren't, personally, I doubt they're prototype pics. Look at the in-package images of him, announced here: http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=56174; same ugly mug in the bubble.

Congrats on the review.
Got mine today. :grin:

Cool robot mode but definitely needs more and more details, a better paint job, a longer hanging neck and slightly larger legs.

I particularly dislike Mixmaster, it seems parked above the torso,and it is too large: in my opinion Hasbro could have put part of the Devastator's Vortex Grinder and most of the electronics into the huge Scavenger's body, instead of excavating it to create a parking area for a giant mixmaster. And instead of an ultra-class Mixmaster they should have done a deluxe Mixmaster and a voyager Overload :-x

.

In conclusion, I like this Devastator but, as it is, it seems to me a FAB Devastator and should cost no more than a leader class.

I really hope to see Reprolabels team-up with one third party, the former producing a lot of stickers and the latter producing replacing parts (neck and Overload? :-?
