I cant believe someone really compared Hasbro Titan class Devastator's price to this.

As a 3rd party combiner collector, this is pretty much the norm, and for one this size which is just a bit bigger than Warbotron, this Voltron is actually cheaper. Most 3rd party combiner limbs go for about $100 each and the torso figure for about $110 to 125 ($150 for Diesel from Fans Project) depending on the size. I assure you if Takara ever produced a Masterpiece scale Combiner in the Masterpiece style line it would be priced similarly to this.

As someone who owns the last toynami 30yr anniversary Voltron, I felt like it was a huge letdown for the price. I actually had a die-cast version and that thing was a floppy mess and the chrome from the legs of black lion peeled when he would combine.

If this is at a quality of plastic like MMC used for Feral Rex, then this is a great price. You need to compare this to the other combiners of similar quality and articulation. Titan devastator is a hollow kid's toy, not a high quality collector's item. Don't believe me, hold a Hasbro Combiner Wars constructicon in your hand then hold a Gravity Builder figure (if you know anyone who has any) and that's how I imagine the difference between this Voltron and the 30th Anniversary to be like in terms of quality.

Definitely not easy on the wallet, but also know that retailers get about a 25% markup on the wholesale price typically. Most probably won't even break even on the sales for combiners.

Count me in though, he will go great towering over these guys!
