Well, I ended up snagging myself a Devastator toy. Hasbro was running a sale for 20% off and free shipping. Couldn't resist. Devastator will go under my Christmas tree (assembled of course) right along side Voltron as the 2 toys I desired most when I was a child. I wasn't able to have both toys, so could only get one. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make as a kid, but ultimately I chose Voltron. Shortly after receiving it for Christmas, I changed my mind and my parents returned Voltron and exchanged him for Devastator. Sadly, the constructicons were very cheap toys, and they broke within weeks of me getting it. I was so sad as now I had neither Voltron nor Devastator. I'm sure it's lame, but now that I'm 38 I'm excited to finally have both toys. Life is good

A bit too $$ but how cool would this be in a LEGO diorama?

Yeah, it's neat, but just doesn't seem like something you would ever use...just show people and then put it back. I'd rather spend money building a real arcade cabinet that can emulate all the classics and I can actually play it

Cool! I loved Go Bots, but like everyone else, quickly moved to Transformers.

We purchased this remote controlled helicopter for my son for Christmas: www.amazon.com/Syma-S107-S107G-Helicopter-Gyro-/dp/B00F4WMAAW/And like all good parents, we tried it out before, you know, to make sure it works properly. I couldn't believe how fun this was to play with, and controlled really well. I kind of want to get one for myself.

Ha, we've got so many copters... However, that metal based one is one of the better models as it's more durable. They're fun but can be really hard to fly well.
IIRC, the parts are easily replaceable on that one too.

That toy amazes me. It wasn't even possible when we were kids. And now here it is for 20 bucks. Amazing!

I have SO been wanting a helicopter or drone but have no idea what's even good as there are so many. Good to hear this one is solid and crazy affordable. Like reaper said, something like this when we were kids was crazy expensive and only for serious enthusiasts. Now it's something anyone can enjoy.

We have 3 of those $20 helicopters. The kids love them.

My wife is horrible at flying the thing, keeps hitting the ceiling fan and other things. But yeah, the son loves it and his mom and dad have been having a lot of fun with it too.

Yeah, I got it today too. Will be flipping on eBay if I can get a reasonable return.

I got the code. The funny thing is the 2 games I pre ordered were Mario Maker and Star Fox Zero, which ended up getting delayed. So, I've actually only bought one Nintendo game and can cancel my pre order of Star Fox if I like. However, I'll likely keep it in tact unless reviews come in that are pretty low. Doubt this will be worth much, maybe $20 tops is my guess.

*Drool* I would SO love this. It would be perfect with my giant devastator. But $400 is just too much.

The articulation IS pretty cool though.

It's fantastic. I'm a BIG voltron fan and already have the old die cast model of the original toy. The new one is WAY better, but just a lot of coin. If the price was about $200, I would bite. Just hard to justify $400...especially when I will likely be needing that money for an NX
