After stalking this thread for some time, I caved and ordered the lunar Diabattles v2, and preordered the red and blue power suits. Cannot wait to get these in hand, somehow I'm sure despite all the pictures I've seen, I will still be surprised by the tiny size. And what are the chances of the gray modeled items from toy fair displays, like the power suit carrier, being made? Likely, at some point in time?
I have the smaller suits preordered, and wanted to order Cosmo Dia Battles, but didn't want to invest all that money if I wasn't into the line. So got my hands on Moonbase version about a week ago... It's all over now, I'm in. Cosmo on order, got my hands on the Diaclone figure magazine and stickers (Thanks for the Amazon Japan tip Thundershot!), can't wait for the smaller suits!
That is so cool. I love finding out about older toys that get repurposed in other toylines. Might even have to look into getting one if these if it's not too difficult.
If it sells well all is possible. They seem tiny if you are a third party or MP collector. I suspect if chug was still all the rage then no one would comment on size. If TT could give me a red Sunstreaker that could hold the Diaclone drivers I could lay down this heavy yoke of life happy.
I'd stay away from ebay. Those late late wave sets go for asinine prices. Case in point: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mini Mutants CYBER-ROVER PLAYSET - FACTORY SEALED ! | eBay
I was afraid they might be pricey now but I was not prepared for people to be asking that much for them. Oh well, I'm not in desperate need to have that set right away. I can wait for an actual reasonable price to come along.
Well it is sealed, some people just assume they can rake in the money. Seriously the late late waves, the only reason they are so pricey is because they weren't distributed as widely as some of the earlier waves. Just out of curiosity I did google the set and apparently there was one that sold loose for around $106 shipped.
Yeah don't ever go by the asking prices on eBay. Only go by the sold prices and the unsold prices to see what people will pay and at what amount they will just say no and walk away. Recently, I've seen a lot of movie transformers just sitting there on eBay not selling because folks all put up buy-it-nows with no offers and are asking waaaay too much.
Finally ordered a copy of issue 225 of figure oh for the diaclone stickers and piece inside, looking forward to getting it, hopefully it will arrive this side of Xmas!
Still waiting for mine to arrive by SAL from CDJapan. Been a couple weeks so no panic yet. I got 3 Dia-Battles into my display so far, imagining how to squeeze the other 3 in already... All the best Maz
Did anyone bother ordering the horrendously price dianaut pack? Was supposed to be out this month I believe.
Nice display Maz. Just the one dia battles v2 for me but I am considering getting the cosmo battles due March. My copy of figure oh is coming SAL via HLJ. I have these on pre order with kapow but i opted to have the figure set delivered with the powered suits which specified a Jan release most places - kapow however have them all down for November release but seeing as November is now all but over and I haven't had an invoice, I think I'll be looking at a bill for them in the new year.
Only two of the powered suits have ever went up on HLJ, DA-02 & DA-03. Are the other ones exclusives?
The two realistic greeny coloured ones are sold together as an exclusive set. the yellow and pale blue suits haven't been solicited yet. Robot Kingdom (I think) put up a listing for them months ago but it hasn't appeared anywhere else and there's little mention of them on the official Web page.
