I chose EZ, but I'd consider getting Supreme Devvie if it hit around the $90 mark.
Your minimum price seems to be on the way up Goktimus ;)Quote:

I'm afraid you didn't put my personal choice on the list, GRiff.
Shame on you for forgetting the Burger King Devastator toy.
I had to vote for that crappy Combiner Class (not Supreme class) Devastator.

Option 2 for me, but the gift set! :)
the new hasbro gift set legends!
and supreme when on sale
and when all is bought maybe track set
One more to the add to the set, and one left to go (RHs version).

It looks like a Devastator themed water slide ride! Damnit, they need to make this ride!!
Even after getting Combiner Class Devastator on discount at $97, I'm still quite disappointed and feel that I paid too much for this toy.
Here are some of my thoughts:
+ The individual Constructicons are _far_ too simple, especially the limbs whose transformations are on par with Red Rooster and McDonald Happy Meal Transformers.
+ I don't like the colours. Overall they make the toys look too Fisher Price, especially on Scavenger.
+ The leg vehicles are much smaller than the other Constructicons. I think this was done to make Devastator's legs shorter to make him look more simian, but the result is that Rampage and Long Haul are midgets compared to the others. I was never expecting perfect scale, but I find them to be too significantly undersized.
+ Most annoying sound gimmick ever! omfg... I could put up with Energon Scorponok and I even tolerate ROTF Leader Optimus Prime... but Mixmaster's sound gimmick goes off if you even look at it funny! For the first time ever I removed the batteries because the gimmick was driving me nucking futs.
+ Devastator is big, beefy and heavy! I haven't weighed it, but it stands at around 32cm (depending on how you pose those two "bunny ears" on the top). One thing that appeals to me about this toy is the size and how it can better interact with say the Deluxe Twins. :)
+ The Nom Nom(TM) gimmick is hell fun. :D See my conribution to Jhiaxus' "Can Devvie Eat It?" thread. ;)
Overall it's a nice toy that, even at $97, is still overpriced; but I don't think we'll see it for much cheaper any time soon considering the RRP is around $170. My advice is:
* If you don't really want this toy, don't get it.
* If you do want this toy and you have better patience than me, then wait a year or so for a better discount (then come back and laugh at suckas like me :p)
Now my question is to others who own this toy; how much would you pay for these Constructicons if (hypothetically speaking) Hasbro sold them individually? I'd pay $5 each for Rampage and Long Haul, $9 each for Hightower and Scrapper, $20 for Scavenger and $25-30 for Mixmaster (cos we all know that electronic gimmicks jack up the price). So at most I think the toy should be worth $78.
