Devastator coming back to Big W 17/12

[Bumbleb33]

Checked out my local Big W tonight and supplied the key code, the girl advised there were 16 units enroute, whether that is 16 cases of Devastators or individual Devastators she did not know. Either way I am pretty sure that is more than we got per store previously.

That'd be units.
Looks like they're getting 8 cases. Not bad.

Yeah Big W's number is units not cases. Too bad it took Hasbro 6 months to get their supply of Devastator to the point they can supply this many. I know moving to a new warehouse is non-trivial, but it really sucks when you're looking for product in store.

They should have had this many during the mid year sale Considering you can now buy him in a number of other shops, not to mention the UW version has been released, I can't imagine there's going to be a lot of demand for him. Expect to see him on sale mid next year the same as Metroplex was.

I disagree, I know of a lot of people who aren't Transformers collectors wanted Devastator because they had him as a kid and missed out during the 1st Big W release.

I think these will fly off the shelves, not as quickly as the 1st release but I think we won't see any after Christmas

You can now get him from bigw if you can convince their staff =)

NICE!

Honestly with the scalping debacle when the first batch were released I'm glad I don't have to resort to giving BigW my money.
They really handled it poorly allowing scumbags to buy them by the caseload and I for one cannot tolerate scalpers and those that enable them.
I hope everyone that's looking for one from BigW can get one this time around, but honestly I'd rather pay the extra $50 and get it from Toymate if I still needed one.

I too hope people wanting one for themselves are able to get one before the scalpers buy them up and force real fans to pay more, who weren't able to get to BigW on the first day they arrived...

As a proud Big W employee I would like to object to your insult.
