Tough call.

Haha, I didn't even think of the daily breakdown like that. I just bought a near complete Combiner Wars line so I'm kinda sorta maybe somewhat on the fence about dropping another 3 bills on two Devys (because why not buy two?).

Mark my words, he'll be in stores before the end of August for sure.

Thanks again for the inside info; August, October, it's all good. The South location is on my way home from work and I'd rather know that it is there and go in and grab it, than have to pop in every day like some kind of obsessed manchild.

I will let you guys know as soon as I see the computer say the warehouses have them.

Thanks for all the info.

You guys with your Metroplex deals from last year and I never saw one out in the wild or even at a TRU here. LOL

Let me elaborate a bit more on pricing. For those of you who have memberships, you know Metroplex was cleared out at a much lower price than he started at. When items are marked down like that it is because the company who makes it (in this case Hasbro) has agreed to give Costco a rebate on the item so we can sell it out instead of return it for a refund. Our mark up doesn't change from how I understand it. So with Devastator being 139.99 our mark up is between 10 and 20 dollars give or take. If it gets marked down to say 69.97 then our margin is only say 5-9 dollars, give or take. Does that help?

I have never seen anything like this where I am, but I do have a Costco card. Does anyone know if these will be available online? I just looked on their website and couldn't find it.

I'm assuming you work with Costco? Is there a way a guy can walk into a local Costco and get one through customer service?

You need a membership and you will have to hit the warehouse floor and get one. They don't really sell anything through Customer Service.

Helps a lot! Thanks!

That comment on the date was more like my disappointment on Bday Devi. Or in this case no Bday Devi...
