    At $500, that devastator better transform and combine by itself.

    No, the people who genuinely believe it'll be $500 are just in withdrawal because it'd been a few hours and they hadn't overreacted to anything yet.

    Hasn't this happened before when someone did a straight X to US Dollars conversion and landed on something more than the actual final USD MSRP?

    Yup. If, through some bizarre decision making this is $500, it'll be half off most places by Xmas.

    If this doesn’t sell out, might ask my family for it for Christmas. They all asked me if I wanted them to come together to give me money towards Unicron last year(have no idea how they knew about that).

    Dumbasses will pay $500 for this $260 set just like dumbasses paid $450 for MP-44. Complete ripoff

    Where are they getting $499 from ? All 8 constructions cost $260 plus tax in retail.

    Why the actual fuck is this $500!!!!!!!!!! I can buy all 8 for under $300!!!!!! 
    whoever buys this box set is such a sucker lol 
    there\'s no way this will sell
    hopefully there\'s no new paint apps for no one has to waste this much money on that 

    that price is such a joke $200 over priced for what reason??

    I wonder if the \'array of extras\' will include bits and pieces like a pyramid display, small skids and mudflap, Simmonds etc and of course the testicals

    Just... Why? I'm glad they didn't include some changes that would have infuriated buyers of the original, I guess, but that's just silly all around. I don't think there's winning with this set no matter what they do.

    This figure is such a damn mess.  Shortly after they started selling the individual SS Constructicons, I knew Devastator would look just terrible.  It\'s worse than I thought.

    $500 bucks for the entire set it's a hit in balls for many or most people, for others the price fair but sincerely it should be $ 350-400 bucks, somehow many people are willing to buy so good things ain't go for cheap but $500 are hard to come by these days, but I guess it worth

    Okay, but like...it isn't.

    And even if...so what? Given how ludicrously overpriced that'd be it'd be on Clearance most places before the year ended.

    It's more like "dumbassses" who are convinced this is going to cost $500.

    And they just listed Gigawatt for $60 and, naturally, people are freaking out about that price too.

    TFW has collectively abandoned all common sense in the past 12 months. Some of y'all been way too online lately.

    Then I won’t buy it. And a lot of other people won’t but it either, and then it will probably end up at bargain bin stores.

    It’s not hard. It’s not difficult.

    I don’t get why people rage about prices. If it’s too expensive, don’t buy it. Coming here and rage posting won’t make a bit of difference. I mean, does it really make people feel better to come here and rant and rave over an overpriced toy? If it does, then perhaps It’s time for some self-reflection.
