Site Sponsor BBTS has posted a preorder listing for Takara's EZ Collection Devastator. The preorder comes in two varieties: A case of 24 figures meant for resellers and a single set of 7 figures, for collectors.
Case of 24: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
Case of 7: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
They also have individual preorders for EZ Collection Mixmaster, Scavenger (Demolishor) and Long Haul, each for 6.99.
Mixmaster: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
Scavenger: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
Long Haul: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
Keep in mind that this set is a Takara product, not a Hasbro product, so chances of it seeing a US release are slim at this time.

55 dollars is a little steep for that figure. Sure it looks awesome, but I'm pretty sure Hasbro will release it here in the States. I can't see them passing up any chance to make money.

$7 each, but $55 for a set of 7 figures? I need to go back and change my order.

Keep in mind that the single character preorders are for those characters that are "extra" characters in the case of 24
3x D1 Decepticon Overlord
4x D2 Decepticon Mixmaster
3x D3 Decepticon Rampage
4x D4 Scavenger
3x D5 Scrapper
4x D6 Long Haul
3x D7 High Tower
They're just selling the extra figures individually.

I can't use the logic that this smaller Devs won't be released because Hasbro is trying to push the 100 dollar bundle one. I mean, for the last movie, Hasbro tried to push the 80 dollar ultimate BB but that didn't stop them from selling like a million other BB products.
I'm 99% sure this set will see a stateside release. There's no reason not to release a smaller gift pack for those who aren't willing to shell out 100 bucks. If they release this set for 40 dollars, I'll be all over it. I'm sure a lot of kids and moms will feel the same. Not releasing this set stateside would be just plain stupid on Hasbro's part.

Yea, I know that. The US will probably get this figure LATER than the JPN release, but I'm sure we'll get it. To be honest, I can this also coming in green and purple repaint.

I don't understand the point of the Case of 24. Why would you want three complete sets, plus three extra figures (an incomplete set)? That makes no sense.

That doesn't answer the question. Why would resellers want 3 of some figures and 4 of the others? I highly doubt that they did research and determined that those figures are going to be more popular by a 4-to-3 ratio. It just seems completely arbitrary. And the result will probably be shelf-warmers, which means the stores won't restock as quickly.

They probably thought it was going to be 6 constructicons instead of the newly released 7. That way, it would have been 4 Devastator sets. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Though, now that I think about it, it is kind of weird that there'd be 7 cons for the Legends version...

My guess is that Mixmaster, Long Haul, and Scavenger are the only ones being sold separately right now...at least on BBTS' shop.

Perhaps there are 3 sets of the 7, and the 7 are all packaged together, while the other 3 are packaged individually?
