Officially revealed overnight by Hasbro is the SS-69 Movie 2 (Revenge of the Fallen) Devastator boxset, which is a "Fan Channel" exclusive in America, but for us in Australia, it is an Amazon exclusive... and is already listed for pre-order, for AU$340 (https://www.amazon.com.au/TRA-Studio-Series-Devastator-PK/dp/B08BTWR57V/).

The release date is somewhere from now, until December, depending on the official source.

This set is a slight redeco to the original release of the individual figures.
Considering that the eight individual figures would cost about AU$440 at retail, this boxset is a surprising, but welcome saving. And for those who have been collecting the individual figures, this would be a great way to have the giant beast of Devastator on display next to your individual Movie Constructicons in your Movie toys display.

Now, you can be one of the first to get it in Australia from Amazon Australia right now (there is limited stock), or... if this isn't the best time to afford it with all of the other expensive collector figures right now, more stock is planned to be released in Australia middle of next year for a couple of mid-year toy sales.

Kinda regret not waiting for this. Then again, it'd easier to sneak past multiple smaller purchases than a giant box.

Let's say Leader is 90, Voyager 50 and Deluxe 30. That's 180 + 200 + 60 = 440 so yea, it's quite a big saving compared to buying them all seperately.

Do they have free or flat shipping, or do bigger items have higher shipping?

It is flat rate $5.90 for Mighty Ape (at least to the capitals of each states), so just under $300 for the set, which is a great price.

Ordered one last night... that should be fun to bring home from the post office in a weeks time.

Got mine delivered yesterday from Mighty Ape. Apart from Hightower having two left treads, which thankfully isn't a game breaking issue (just means the tread on the right side doesn't tab in and is not symmetrical), this is a great valued set. The box is absolutely massive, although feel like Hasbro missed an opportunity in giving the figures more paint apps to differentiate them from the normal releases. I am surprised it comes with a gigantic cardboard stand as well.

Mine arrived at the post office today... very nice and a HUGE box.
I'm so happy to have been able to save so much on it, and to be able to get one that counts as Australian stock, as every little bit helps get more product into the country, including exclusives.

Picked up mine from work today too....

Wow.. was not the box shape i was expecting!!! Was thinking similar to the Titans, which all seem to be the same, not this flatter, wider one that arrived.

Contact Hasbro & they’ll replace it or compensate in some way. They have for me with Star Wars products.
