He’s big, he’s mean, he’s green, and he’s out at retail (in Australia)! The mighty Decepticon, Devastator, is arriving in Australian chain store Big W as a part of their toy sale, which started today. Via Hayden from Transformers Collectors club Australia, we have this photo of the big guy, whose Australian retail price is AU $198.
This hopefully means a US release should not be too far off, as well.
Big thanks to TFW2005 member Discosis for the heads-up on this one!

On my kitchen scales, it came in on 2334g which google tells me is 5.14559 pounds.
I was greedy and grabbed 2, this box has never been open.

I was told today that there should be more in stock at Big W mid to late next week

For any Aussies who have or are getting Devastator, could you let us know how much he weighs in package? It would give us an idea of how much this set or the Takara version would cost for shipping.

Thats exactly what the lady at the Gungahlin Big W told me too!!

I got mine yesterday.
And I LOVE HIM!!
I think he is well worth the price, Voyager class sell for $40 to $50 AUD.
$198 puts each toy at $33, which is not bad in Australia.

Anyone spotted any in WA?

due to the size and weight getting it shipped in from O.S isn't financially sound at all unless you want the UW version.
As I'm displaying mine in combined mode, the additional features added by The UW version aren't missed at all. I actually like the lack of paint apps on the tracks, feels more simple and G1 I say.
The person I spoke to a Big W said they got 6, I assume this is the case of each store.

Okay, despite what I said previously, I visited my local Big W last night – only to have a look, I swear! – but they were sold out anyway
I see BBTS has pre-orders up for US$139.99. With shipping and currency conversion, that comes in at significantly more than AUD$198 (even allowing for POL), so if I do buy the CW version, it probably won't be online. Best to wait until the local retailers get them back in stock and/or have them on sale.

Here he is next to mp optimus

Distribution in general not just in Australian, but all over just gotten worse.
Takara version HAS Elbows.

i'm impress with its height, no wonder it cost 150 bucks, totally worth it.

overall I'm happy with the size/stability of this combiner.

indeed
everyone's in the "gimme mahhh toy naow" mode in regards to Devastator, but as we've seen, it isn't exclusive to Big W.
i'll be waiting for a Target 20-25% toy sale and purchasing one then.

really? i thought they were deluxe since combiner hunter set is a complimentary set…
good to know.

Have you seen the scale? It definitely isn't deluxe size. The smallest figure is a large voyager size.
when combined they tower over any combiner to date. Certainly well scaled with MP.
