Well yeah, Hercules was $600 and Green Giant was $450. Even with mass production, simplified design and preferred labour rates building it for $200 some compromises are going to have to be made. Besides Hasbro and the retailers both want to make money on it.

Re: Titan Devastator: how are you going to get one?
Is he even worth it? Great size but not great in robot mode.. those arms bug me.
Is the 3rd party ones not better? Or is it just because its a lot less then those are?

Re: Titan Devastator: how are you going to get one?
Probably TRU.CA. Never saw MMPR Titanus in stores and that is 200, but got it ages ago from my TRU.CA preorder...so may do the same with Devestator. Also, depending on how much Takara's is and IF it's worth the extra, I may consider that instead...maybe. Big IF.

Re: Titan Devastator: how are you going to get one?
I'm just going to sit back and watch as the store shelves reach a superheated plasma state.
There's no way I'm letting something as poorly made as this appears to be while still being huge enough to take up an unreasonable amount of shelf space into my collection. The War in Pocket version looks decent, though.

Yeah that one looks great, might be my favorite modern Constructicons/Devastator design (3rd party and official). I really like how they made it so the chestplate doesn't even have to partsform by making it from Hook's crane. Creative and effective.

Passing as much as I hate too, but just don't really like the look of him.

Re: Titan Devastator: how are you going to get one?
The reason I'm getting this set is simple: even without the articulation, the size...all that, these guys just reek of G1! Sure, I would have liked a different style Mixmaster (older) and a few other tweaks, but this is the real deal.
My only problem is do I preorder now or wait for the Takara version. Hoping Anime Export has them for preorder.

Re: Titan Devastator: how are you going to get one?
Taking a look at some of these Hasbro Devy pics, I'm not really sure how much more 'cartoon accurate' a Takara version would be after all.
The head sculpt has the red eyes, and the colours seem to match up with the alternate Encore Devy.
What do you guys think the differences may be, if any? I don't see them making any big mold changes, but have they in the past?
