    I would like to know as well. Has it been CONFIRMED that Costco will be getting this?

    Considering Hasbro hasn't said anything yet nor we're seeing anything in the system.

    chances are it's not happening.

    Jet.com is gaining a lot of fans here with good deals, maybe a Jet.com thread would be helpful so everything can be compiled in one place?

    Any Costco "insiders" here on tfw2005 that could give us a Devy update? :)

    Thanks for the heads-up! I went for it... I was holding out to see if the Costco thing was happening, but this is a good price. This'll be my first time using Jet.

    I would agree. CostCo does their items early. Their Christmas rush starts in early October, as most of their holiday things are in months early. It is the nature of a warehouse style retailer. There is still a possibility it might happen, but since it didn't come in with the rest of the Christmas toy aisle my suspicion is that they did not get a hold of stock this time. On the other hand, I think that is a good sign of how well Devastator has sold that by this time there really wasn't enough stock for CostCo to pull it in.

    I visited my local Costco here in Richmond, VA this Saturday (Halloween) and they had two full aisles of toys... and no Devastators in sight. I have to admit, it's looking pretty bleak at this point.

    Target, Wal-Mart, and kmart were all offering Devy. It was online only and not brick and mortar but they were or are still offering it. Target and Kmart were also offering it at least at one point with free shipping too don't know if Wal-Mart did.

    Heartbeats of Devy news from Canada, post #313 here ->

    Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion - View Single Post - Combiner Wars Devastator Costco news

    Costco.ca shows:
    Item Number: 944196
    Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Devastator Figure Set
    $154.99
    The item is out of stock.

    And post #301

    Combiner Wars Devastator Costco news - Page 31 - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

    Hopefully this means they will be in stateside Costcos soon at a good price.

    I'm not sure how the American Costcos are distributing Devy, but the ones in Canada are, IMO anyway, extremely limited. The entire province of British Columbia isn't getting any. They're sticking to stores that they've decided will sell most. It'll be interesting to see how it compares.
