Amazon responded by matching that price.

Anyone going to get the third party add ons? Since I saved so much I thinking will. But not sure which yet.

I'm thinking about 'em. But I'm not sure if I wanna up the total price of my Devy yet.
I new kit by DNA Design has recently caught my eye. Which kits are you looking at?
While I agree that if you don't own a Devy the Tak version is probably the better choice both cost and possible future value; we're talking about the ones that have already sunk a buck and a quarter into Hasbros and if we are even considering dropping more cash for and upgrade. And at $110 the upgrade is a little more inviting.william-james88 wrote:Also, while it may not be a factor to many, Takara's is more limited and will go up in value more than the Hasbro version even if third party is included. Becasue in the TF market, once loose, that becomes more like a custom (which technically is what add ons are all about, customs everybody can have themselves) and that becomes a rough value to judge through time. It will sound silly but the elbows being all official in the Takara version do have an added collector value. Also, the takara version still gives you the retracting shades which the add on doesnt, right?
All in all, I think the Takara version is the best way to go (at the japan market price) for this figure.

I'm pretty happy with my Devster, but you know; ooooo shiny!
I think ultimately, I'd rather new toys than new bits on toys that already look good chilling in my collection.

I may have muddied the waters a bit myself. I think it depends on what's more important. Some of the 3p upgrades offer more than Taks, but really could be used on both. I'm curious though, can Taks still be found this late in the game?william-james88 wrote:EDIT: I reread and get it now. You meant that getting an upgrade is tough when you already bought it at 150$ but for those buying it at 110$, they would feel less guilt over buying the upgrade. But my argument was, if you are thinking of buying him at 110$ which gives you extra cash for the upgrade, why not just go for takara?

He's still available at bbts and tfsource, beyond that though, I dunno, I don't think I'll be ordering anything from amiami or the like, too complicated

Wow, have your cake, eat it and keep the doily it came on.megatronus wrote:The Hasbro + add-ons vs. Takara argument is a non-starter for me, since I'm getting both. I'll likely display Hasbro in combined mode with the 1 PE add-on with the shoulder extensions and hands (I need to take a serious look at the other add-ons to see if any of them are better, but for now PE is default), and Takara in bot mode.
At the point where we're getting the extra articulation and guns for the individual Takara 'cons, doesn't it seem like a waste to combine them?
