Or wait a few years after that when a mum gives it away to salvos or something and they sell it for like $5

Or miss out and find it no less than $300 everywhere.

Personally I am not sure if bigw can get it right second time but if you missed the affordable uw version then this is your good opportunity to get it.

Not sure what you mean by that. The initial release was strictly limited at the time cos of Hasbro's supply issue with its new warehouse IIRC. Do you have inside info you are able to share?

I'd like to see in store. Just to know it's actually real. It's been a long wait

At least if it is in a catalogue and you have a nearby ToysRUs who has Devastator (at $300), take the catalogue to them and they should price-match.
You could even ask at Toyworld if a store near you has them, to see if the manager will price-match.

I don't mean anything bad however the last time we have a catalogue and the toy never made it here in wa with the whole calling around and database not being correct with instances -5 in their system because they record in a book and not in the system.

I was finally offered one but ages later as PC offered the UW version this month. And it was like $15 more.

PC aside, I am more talking about how bigw manages the item. They were calling it sold out when they never touch the shelves.
Needless to say online web was no better.

It be interesting if tru actually bring in the uw version and someone confuses them with bigw one

Hopefully they'll be available in suitable quantities so everyone can get one. Still have nightmares over that mid-year sale.

Not true, it did make it on to shelves in some bigws in Wa, just didn't last long. But yes, it was frustrating and understocked.
