Unite Warriors Devastator has been released in Japan and 2005 Board member Masabon has been swell enough to share some in hand photos of the titan. We’ve mirrored a sample of the images and attached to this news post, but you can click the title bar to view all the exciting new enhancements that Takara Tomy has incorporated into their release of this figure. For example, additional joints and weaponry!

Check mandarake periodically, they usually list it for ~18000JPY

Honestly, he's worth more than $200. We are very unlikely to ever get a better version. While lacking in some areas (the vehicles don't really have any features), the robot modes are great and the combined mode is everything I have ever wanted. If you're patient though, you will find a good deal.

Is there a site that sells UW Devy for 200 or less?

I've used the boat shipping twice and took just about 6 weeks both times. I'm in New Jersey also if that matters.

I combined him for the first time last night, he's an absolute beast. It is effectively MP Devastator, without 'Masterpiece' being on the box. Simply awesome.

You better believe it. I can't stop doing the Horatio thing with his visor.

That's a great deal, at that price he's more than worth it.
I need to learn to use slow boat shipping for things to save money, but it's always so hard to wait on your toys while everyone online got their's express.

$166 us huh. So i would have paid an extra $26 for the paint, proper purple hands, elbows, and weapons. Damn i should've gone takara enjoy! Its a great figure

Good news, my UW Devastator finally arrived from Nippon-Yasan today! I had it shipped by boat on December 15th and predicted it would arrive around Valentine's Day. That's exactly two months delivery time. Am I psychic, or what?
The great thing is that I didn't get charged a customs fee for this! So the total cost for this set was a very appealing £115. I guess the slow delivery method might have helped with that. If Takara releases Fortress Maximus with the Master Sword, I'll have to order him from NY again and select boat shipping. Hell, I can wait.

If anyone went the slow method too…I just received my shipment of a couple of TT Devy's, shipped 12/18, received today 2/8, so just under 2 months for the boat method from Nippon-Yasan.

Mine has shipped! I am so excited for this big guy!

Yeah, there's that and Takara was going for a cartoon inspired paint scheme which always has a Decepticon symbol in Scrapper's bucket.

This sticker discussion had me thinking, why the shovel and not where Hasbro placed it, on top of the hood? And I realized why, someone at Hasbro messed up. Hasbro chose to have that decepticon symbol on the roof of Scrapper, having it face forward in vehicle mode (makes sense) but then in Devastator mode, the symbol ends up being inverted upside down if you want to lock in the leg (which is the way it is supposed to be).
This looks dumb on the Hasbro version, leading people to flip it the other way but thus unlocking the leg and making it less stable. Takara was smart and didnt place the decepticon logo there so that it wouldnt look off in any mode (there is an indent on the roof of scrapper though, which looks triangular, if a sticker would have been placed there it would have to be right side up, unlike what Hasbro did).

What are the odds of this set dropping to 180.00 like Takara MetroPlex did on BBTS in a few months?

I just want to report that it's the same for me. The sticker is like a goddamn tank. Finger nail test didn't do anything, and I tried to damage it just to have it a little marked, but not much else.
I'm not worried that this sticker will be coming off. It seems to be on there for the long run.

For those who have expressed interest & pmed me regarding the UW-04 Devy souvenir coin, thank you very much for your interest. At last the item have been sold to a fellow member.
With that said happy new year all and UW-04 Devy is my toy of the year for 2015. What a great way to close off the year.
