    Well, that is all of my Diaclone Powered System multiples sold! That's kind of a lie, I kept my Solid Scan suit C multiples, Dia-Battles multiples and I had already opened 2 of my Dartloaders and 2 of the Cosmo Armaments, so couldn't really sell those.

    The amount of space and cash I have recouped varies from little to satisfying, but as a whole it's been entirely essential and worthwhile, considering how much of the extra stuff was still sealed and unfulfilled.

    Man, I have a lot of boxes to ship out on Monday.

    Amazingly, though, I've been engaging with my Diaclone stuff even more since the sales, somehow knowing that I have opened and am enjoying every Diaclone piece I own is bringing me a welcomed sense of control and satisfaction. I no longer live in guilt or anticipation of a massive photoshoot that contains and justifies all of the multiples I bought, because they're already opened and have already been photographed.

    All the best
    Maz

    I adore the posability and balance of this Beta Maneuver suit, stunning colour too. I didn't expect this set to be a main event as it was sandwiched by more exciting stuff, but damn, these are ace.

    All the best

    I'm getting antsy for my Solid Scan suit to show up. I guess the SAL slowdown is still ongoing?

    Looks like the postal log jam is clearing up, the five remaining packages I ordered from NY have hit NYC, and one is already in Jersey City, including my Warruders which processed through Osaka on Aug 26th!

    looks like TTM is reissuing DA-17 and 18 amongst a few other TTM exclusives. Not sure if that means BBTs and other places will be getting them again.

    I will be pretty excited if it's actually a reissue and not just selling leftover stock. That means that 1: people who were late to the party can get in on these cool bots without the secondary mark up, and 2: the Diaclone series is doing well enough to warrant a reissue.

    That second reason is particularly interesting because it typically means more funds devoted to the line, and more resources, like designers and development costs, can be allocated to this department in Takara Tomy.

    I don’t know. These 7 items are coming back and at 30% off which is weird. Might be some left over stock sitting in someone’s office?

    Filled a few Gaps! Can't wait to check out the Diaclone World Guide's DVD as soon as I locate a device archaic enough to play DVDs! :D

    I bought it on a whim, but it's really rather smashing. Loving the DR development material and OG Diaclone prototypes!

    'Twas more a joke alluding to our move towards purely digital media, my friend.
