I have the same dilemma but here is the problem: we humans have a very short memory and are easily swayed by emotion. But I want you to try to remember this: remember the tie not too long ago when I you realized a united or henkei version had way better paint apps and is now sold out and quite expensive. Check out that beautiful voyager galaxy force starscream on e-bay. What about that time you gave in and swallowed your pride and paid for that overly expensive toy simply because you got notice of it or interest in it after the facts (like Platinum Omega Supreme or MP Soundwave).
Do you remember this feeling? Because a lot of people will be feeling that in two years when the Takara Devastator will have been sold out and escalate in price on the secondary market. And unlike some nice henkei seeker, that shipping price will be the nail in the coffin of your dreams. You dont want to feel that. Others will surely feel it since there are new fans everyday (which is wonderful), but you wont feel it. Because you will have waited for the Takara version and be able to pose them all individually the way you want it with their nice individual guns in hand.
Truly, what is six months compared o a lifetime or regret?

If I really want individual guns for them, there'll be a 3p release eventually, but he'll be combined for the most part, and I suppose Reprolabels will eventually release a set for extra details.

ou are talking about paying at least 50$ more for unofficial extras. You think that 3 p company will let you get away for anything less than 20-30$. Same with reprolabels? Also, from my experience, stickers can never replace paint apps.

You should give speeches for a living; seriously though, that is my exact thought process, unless I can get hasbros for a steal (unlikely) I would definitely go for TT; if you could wait for superion, you can wait for devastator (I sound like a parent)

Guess BBTS is real tired of every retailer breaking street dates and people canceling their orders with them cause they got it somewhere else first.
I bet BBTS already have it in their warehouse
The Chosen Prime's also getting theirs in next week.
Ugh, I really can't decide if I want him now or wait until Takara's comes out!

But it is my own fear I am sharing, and something I deal with all the time. People were asking, I shared my sentiments. Perceived value is as personal as one's own fears.
