So I was going to cancel my Devy pre-order on Amazon because the ship date said July 29th (my Bday). Unfortunately, the shipping description said that the ship date was when it left the warehouse, not when it got to my house, and it said to add two business days to the ship date, so it would still get here August 1st no matter which of the two sites I chose.

Except for the fact that my dad likes to stick with more well-known sites like Amazon because he's afraid of credit card fraud. In fact, I was going to get Devy and the the Optimus Maximus crew on Tfsource (and also Motormaster because he came in the same set as Battle Core Prime), but I found one incident where credit card numbers were stolen, and he said "Well, we're not using that site".

EDIT: Never mind. My dad approves of BBTS, so I'll get Devy, the Maximus crew, and the King of the Road from there.

I didn't see a link to tfsource's Takara Devastator preorder anywhere else, so I will post a link here.

They have their's up for $219.99.

http://tfsource.com/transformers-unite/devastator/

With free shipping this may be one of the better deals. I'm not sure if that is a US only offer or not.

On the other hand, BBTS doesn't do free shipping. (Which is why I moved my protectobots preorder to Hasbrotoyshop when the option popped up)

Free shipping is US only, just like Toy DOJO

Devy is back up at TRU.ca

In case people haven't seen it elsewhere, G1 styled Megatron is in stock at HTS. Should try and get him while the July 4 code is active for free shipping on any purchase.

Not sure if it's news-worthy, but the protectobots are now in-stock at HTS, so they should be shipping out tonight, or Monday

Any estimates on shipping this beast stateside?

Firstly BOOOYAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Turns out Anime Export was the cheapest afterall. The reason (as Emerje once said) is that Amiami includes the Japanese tax. So the MSRP given is the MSRP (25000) plus tax. Hence why he costs more. The advantage is you dont pay until its out while I had to pay 146$US up front and wont get him till december.

Shipping estimates are anywhere between 40-60$, which I think is not that bad for international customers who dont have local retailers selling in their currency. In the end, everyone will be able to get this beast for 200$ US.

For americans, I still think BBTS is your best bet simply because the shipping isn't that much (right?) and you can still take advantage of their pile of loot. At most, Americans would save maybe 30$ by going the import route. You be the judge if that is worthwhile.

Lol since when is $30 bucks not worth saving? Plus with EMS you get it sooner then BBTS. The tricky thing here is that the YEN is making a huge come back against the dollar today and if that momentum continues it could get dicey.
