Just to add a further option to complicate matters, Perfect Effect have two add-on kits for Devastator, "fixing" Mixmaster, adding elbow joints and much more:





The only think lacking is guns!

Someone is a very happy forum administrator

Glad to hear he did not disappoint. Good to hear positive stuff like that!
PS: Did you notice the treads lock into Long Haul in combined mode? So he has both a shoulder connection and a lower tread connection in addition to the chest piece as another connection for the arms?

Well Sh!%. Now I might need to look into that. I loved that Prowlastator head. I have yet to buy 3rd party, but that may change my mind....

Never rains but it pours...

Kapow Toys have opened their pre-orders for UW Devastator!

http://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformers ... posit.html

Full price is estimated to be around the £159.99-£179.99 mark, compared to £149.99 for CW (discounted to £129.99 for those who pre-ordered and pay the balance before July 15th).

I still have my pre-order for CW Devy, but I think I've been swayed by elbows and guns. The difference in price, I'd probably end up paying for 3rd party elbows and guns.

So hasbro version is more screen accurate Takara have more detail with elbows I chose Takara for detail paint elbows I can live without on each single bot

Takara's is more screen accurate.

For instance, Hasbro's Bonecrusher has a silver robot chest while Takara's Bonecrusher has a green one. His chest was green in the show.

Perfect Effect are pretty decent quality too, so I think I'll be dropping cash for this upgrade set!

With Devastator, I don't even know what "G1 accurate" is. Sabrblade has put up like 400 screen grabs, and he's different in each one!

Well, I s'pose we could go to the source:

So hasbro version is more screen accurate Takara have more detail with elbows I chose Takara for detail paint elbows I can live without on each single bot

Even at the 225$ US + shipping price?


Also, that third party kit is gonna be so damn expensive.

[Sabrblade]

Those upset over BBTS's price, just wait for Ami Ami or HLJ.

They really are, that's why I have yet to get anything 3rd party. The My First Blaster is $15! This kit may be nearly the price of Devy himelf.....

O hai, RobotKingdom and your $179.90 preorder price - http://www.robotkingdom.com/tuwuw04.html

[fenrir72]

All the known changes made to Takara Devastator compared to Hasbro's retail version:

• More show-accurate deco
• Brand new headsculpt that contains a retractable visor to switch between both head designs
• Brand new gun weapons for each individual figure, all of which can store on Devastator's back
• Re-engineered arms for Scrapper to give him elbows
• Re-engineered arms for Long Haul to give him proper elbows
• Re-engineered arms for Hook to give him better (and double-jointed) elbows
• Re-engineered arms for Mixmaster to give him better (and double-jointed) elbows
• Re-engineered legs for Scavenger to give him better knees
• Re-engineered legs for Bonecrusher to give him better knees

Stop it already Sabr! I'm already in love with this , the pre order wait makes it even more difficult !

Now here is the big question, it is worth the newly revealed 224.99 price tag?

Because to me, it isn't, at all. It's the superior version sure, but 75$ for a bit of paint, a new head, some guns and a better joints is a bit much. And you all know the shipping will be a pain in the ass. If it is anywhere close to that when amiami or hlj comes around to posting their preorders, I will just wait for a discount on the hasbro version and call it a day.

BBTS costs more yes?

But the killer deal hurt would be the shipping and the taxes. Hate this hobby of ours

That is great, I am definitely planning on getting the Takara edition. That is quite a spread in prices though. I wonder if BBTS will lower their prices to compete. There is one thing though, on the RobotKingdom page it says the price is 25000 Yen, which at today's exchange rate is $203 (or that is what Google is telling me the conversion is) I certainly hope for the lower price though.

WITH exclusive coins!! I've never ordered from there, do they do well shipping to the U.S. of A.? They may be the way to go!

EDIT: Nope. I'm just gonna go Hasbro and PE for that price and shipping

So all the US onliners have TT UW-04 up for presies. It's 1:40 AM in Japan. Anybody think we'll see the Japanese onliners list them by tonight (US time)?

I don't understand why people get excited about RK pricing when their shipping costs can only be described as bloated and borderline extortion.

Even if you save a few dollars overall compared to BBTS or TFsource, what are you going to do if you have a defective figure? Do you think RK is going to promptly and easily resolve it?

But whatever.

CRAMY! I just noticed you posted Robotkingdom. Are they in Japan or China?
I'm starting to lean in your direction, i.e. retail + add-ons.

I'm with you D-Max, and that's good to read brokenchopstick!! I can save money now (Hasbro Devastator) to pay more later (PE accessories) I think I'll be OK without the elbow upgrade set for the regular figures but we will see where the price comes in for it.
