Those look very nice and quite cute for the kids.
Living in Toronto where price per square foot now is $1,000 in a lot of buildings, every Transformer brought home almost requires a separate cost calculation due to the real estate it required to house it.

Metro is a huge case of people passing him up new and regretting it two years later.
I would suggest being patient. eBay will probably cost you the most, but keep an eye out on Cybertron.ca, maybe even TFW2005, and local classifieds depending on your area. You never know. If you can get him for $200 or less you'll be winning. I mean, I recently sold one for about that including shipping. So the better prices come around.

The lowest I saw Devastator for was when Wal*Mart lowered his price down to $80 or $90, than I think Toys R Us matched.
I also recall seeing Metroplex brand new in the box selling for $300 from a few dealers during the big FanExpo during August in downtown Toronto 2015. Back than I wasn't buying Transformers nor did I know this site existed.
