Don't scare me like that. :p

Any word on ETAs? Hopefully he arrives around toy sale time and we catch a bargain like Metroplex. If I remember correctly we were able to pick him up for roughly 40% off RRP.

Wow... $300 would match what I paid for Brave Maximus, which remains the single most expensive Transformer that I've ever purchased. Hopefully Devastator won't contest this title. :eek: :o

Whoa... Let's not encourage anyone to even consider that kinda pricing.
It'll just sit on the shelves.

I'm just preparing myself for a "worse case" scenario if the toy sells at the equivalent of full AU RRP. Hopefully it will be cheaper. :o I'm seeing some of my non TF collecting and just non-anything-collecting fans get hyped over Devastator. :D

I'm confident Big W will bring this Bot in at the right price... Otherwise I'll be real upset! :p

I hardly think that our discussion is going to influence the pricing structure of an Australia-wide retail chain.

Love this guy.. just really want to see how big he's gonna be. My biggest right now is Year of the Snake Omega Supreme.. he can't be bigger than Omega.. that will put things way out of scale :(

I can't have things being outta scale..

Transformers are never in scale with each other. Been like that since G1.

He is said to be 45cm tall. pretty much near same height.

until they decide it was fun to throw in mp-10 and showed that it was going to be more scaled to the entire rest of the line for masterpieces.

Standing upright, Omega is about 34.5 cm, Devastator 45.7. not quite near the same height.

MP9, not 10. it's no coincidence that Rodimus and Optimus are of similar height.
Regardless, the MP scale only applies if we're looking at the scale guides for the cartoon in robot modes. Alt mode? Forget about it
