We know this preorder has been highly anticipated, combine that with the recent news of Hasbro’s Generations Devastator being released at retail, TFW2005’s own gallery of SDCC Devastator, you now have Takara’s Unite Warriors Devastator open for preorder to make your decision even harder!
Preorders for Takara’s version, which has been talked about non-stop since being revealed, have opened up at some of our sponsors, check back throughout the day as more sponsors put their listings up!
Unite Warriors Devastator will be released this December. So the big question is: which one are you going for?

I was upset about waiting (and cancelling my CW order), but since I just started collecting and have like 10 figures coming in the next couple weeks, probably good to have something to look forward to and not blow my load too early.
Bountyan
yeah, waiting hurts but this is usually my mentality
a few months of having a figure earlier vs years upon years of having something I'm more satisfied with in hand
monish
agreed

I don't mind waiting. I'd prefer a superior figure later on, and it's only a few bucks more, well worth the wait.
monish
Only bad part is the waiting till NYE

Just cancelled my TRU preorder and ordered the Takara Devy with NY instead. Thanks for the heads up guys !
monish
So you recommend buying from NY?

HLJ shipping might be a little cheaper, but nowhere near the 2820y difference in item price between the 2 stores.

You can choose to pay any time between ordering and the day before release. They will send a payment reminder email 2 weeks before the item's release date. If no payment is received by the day of release, your order will be cancelled and your account may be suspended.

So does NY charge upfront or when instock?
monish
I wonder what HLJ will charge shipping. Probably cheaper than NY

It's lower than the calculation done using the 4000g estimated shipping weight on AE's site, that's for sure.
Robogeek28
I hope so, cause I ordered two.

I got the hasbros version to tie me over until the TT is available. It helps that I got it for about $70 after coupons and gift cards.
Going to mix and match with the PE-06 add-ons to improve both versions.
IMHO, the mode is good enough to get two copies to display in multiple modes.
(Funny, I did the same kind of thing with the Hasbro / TT Metroplex).

hmmm do they ship to Japan ? when I go to shipping calculator it doesnt have that option, I was thinking they were located in Japan

In for two, EMS shipping seemed to be the best "bang for the buck". There were slightly cheaper options, but for an extra $5-10 I'd rather have it in a few days than a few weeks.
TFDAD
Wow. So about $185 after EMS shipping through NY. This is making me rethink going with Hasbro and a 3P add-on set.
DoubleClouder
Wow, that seems a lot lower, is that right?

Preorder up at NY at 17180 with shipping estimate of 5400 yen EMS.

I confirmed with A3U, they're still offering their $10 flat rate shipping on Devestator… it's still a good deal
