    Mine is now listed as paid, so they should be shipping soon. Any word on the upgrade kits being re-released?

    Got my Devastator from Amazon, looks like it’s an exact reissue. Box and all, no QC issues to speak of (other than the previouslu reported ones). They’ll look great as my robot mode version of the Constructcons.

    My pulse order is listed as shipped. Hopefully some 3rd party does another run of any upgrade that includes poseable hands.

    How long from order to ship was it from hasbropulse? Looks like he is listed as in stock now on hasbropulse. Amazon is showing up to several weeks before available to ship. Wondering if it will arrive faster from hasbro or amazon?

    Praying for a restock or a member who's kind enough to let one go for that price

    I got one last week. I was very lucky. It sold out a day or two before and I kept refreshing the page until one popped. Might have been a cancelled order, I don’t know...It was sold out again after.

    According to keepa.com, Amazon.com stopped selling it May 24th. Came back randomly May 25th, 27th, and 28th.

    Curious if you guys are just finding out about Amazon selling it now? I had to look back in my history to see that I placed my order in Dec '20 and received it about a month later in Jan '21. I recall seeing it periodically in Amazon recommendations and view history pages for MSRP quite a while afterwards as well. Don't get me wrong, I've also fallen prey to "I'll just get it later" and the item ends up getting discontinued before I was able to get it, but I'm just curious on why the sudden resurgence in interest on this.

    While I would ask why people are now trying to get this when they’ve had half of a year, I have no room to talk, as I missed out on the Dominus Pursuit pack (technically twice if you count the pulse orders being put up) due to all the Kingdom and Studio Series and Gen Selects coming out at the time.

    Sucks for those that didn't pick this up. This guy was available for quite a bit on Amazon and Hasbro Pulse, I'd thought he would have sold out quicker. Makes me feel they made a lot of copies to go around for everyone. As cool as he looks, I've had my issues with it. I almost sold it a week after getting it [Impulse buy]. I quickly took it off Ebay like ya know what, despite what I don't like about it, this still might be a keeper, even if I don't have the space at the moment and it's sitting in a box...lol. Hopefully we get some upgrade kits for this guy soon. My only issue is notn having the money at the time to pick up a 2nd copy to keep in box.

    Actually, I'm impressed this guy is sold out. Since he was available for quite a bit, plus it is a reissue and we got several options at that time, I was expecting a sale.

    Hopefully now that it's all sold out, a new, better version will be announced. :D
