    I'd buy this for my nephew if I were an awesome uncle. I mean, I'm a good uncle, but I'm not a $150 awesome uncle.

    Either way, I'm still buying the Takara version for myself.

    I like not having kids.

    I wonder what kind of crazy markup it's going to have in Britain...

    will wait for in hand reviews and then possibly go for takara anyway, barring insane discounts xmas or next year.

    doesn't scale (uh oh that word) with any of my collection!

    Doesn't this fall under one of the forum rules?

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...ore-posting-new-thread-updated-7-03-12-a.html

    Many online retailers already have listings for Devastator up, and Amazon even had a listing up before but took it down again later.

    Amazon's "August 5" delivery date might be accurate, but it's also possible that Devastator becomes available elsewhere earlier. Keep in mind, Transformers toys usually don't have "street dates".

    Hey, want to know my honest opinion?

    Devastator is one of these big ticket toys that will be plentiful in the months to come. There's no need for the "pre-order NOW or you'll never find him again" panic. This is no "tail-ender" or "shortpacked wave" or whatever other craziness leads to certain toys being rare. Just wait, he'll pop up at retail soon enough.

    If you are really that impatient to spend you money as soon as possible... well, there's no need to worry when Amazon is going to charge you then.

    I'd rather have it paid for now and be done with it. In my area no one is going to stock a $150 transformer let alone put it on discount.

    What he said. Unlike the rest of Combiner Wars, Devastator comes in a nice big box set including all 6 members, so you don't have to hunt for the 6th elusive member (i'm looking at you, Powerglide and Motormaster!) I'm excited for Devy, but i know he'll be on sale for the holidays. I'm also pretty sure that since he's the biggest TF this year, he will make the (in)famous Toys R Us list of "top 10 toys to buy this holiday season", which means widespread distribution and black-friday to xmas discounts.

    Can't decide if I'm going to double dip on this and get both versions, Hasbro for gestalt and TT for the individual bots.

    There are a few "in-hand" reviews up on Youtube right now. For the most part looks pretty nice. I think I'll end up double-dipping - Hasbro for combined, Takara for individual. Yes, I'm just insane like that :)

    Amazon doesn't charge until the item is instock, so you can preorder now and cancel later.

    Also this is news worthy, because this is the first listing by a big name online retailer (no offense BBTS or Robot Kingdom, but it's just not the same).
