    Awesome. I’ll preorder only one. I’d rather have 8 figures instead of 4 and a motorcycle. I have enough motorcycles lol. They just don’t look good on my shelf it seems.

    Tri-Dasher pre listing info too!

    The prices are in Hong Kong Dollars, both of these will be out at the end of October so preorders should be very soon. :D

    Not sure what's going on with the different prices given there but the highest translates to about 8000¥ and that seems about right for a single mech with few accessories that is smaller than Diabattles.
    So that's about £65 or $83 for the rest of us.

    There’s 3 Powerdashers right? 3 different molds.

    I’m curious if I need 3 of each. Modular toys bother me a lot because I like to see different options of the same toy at the same time.

    What about the rest of you? 1 of each? 2? 3?

    9 of each would certainly display some variations :p

    Robotkingdom has preorders for both up. I guess DA-41 is the Marine type colors.

    Takara have teased four mechs so far for this series as silhouettes and shown two of them in prototype form.

    I hope they've got the contents of the figure pack wrong or that's a substantial price increase, it was five figures and two bikes before.

    Rather than having a conundrum about which type of the dashers to buy, why not wait for the inevitable Taktom mall release? A special, Moonbase/IMS colored dasher with all the necessary parts to be able to get all the possible combinations? I'm down for that as my first TTM purchase

    Hero colours on DA40 will be good enough for me. I'm in.

    Yeah, I don't know. In the BBTS listing, it is 4 and 1 too. Pricey. Although, if I hadn't already found an alternate means, 4 dianauts would have been just the right amount to finish crewing my BPGV destroyer.

    You telling me what I already know? Lol. Of course there’s going to be multiple colors. I’ll buy multiples of each if the colors are good enough :)

    Don't know if you are interested, but the price robotkingdom quoted me to ship to MD was $46.33 after shipping ($31.90+$14.43). So it may save you a couple of dollars since BBTS will charge shipping and tax on top of the $45 price. RK will charge you upfront though, but you will probably get it sooner.

    I certainly hope Takara announces a Big Powered Destroyer/Battle Buffalo compatible deco for the Trydasher. I appreciate the "hero" bright blue and red deco but have never really been a fan myself. Personally, I think the "Destroyer" deco(black, red and gold) looks SO much better across the board. Even the Astro deco (white and orange) looks better. Also, a bit selfish here, but I don't own anything in the blue and red hero colors. I would LOVE a Dia Battles in "destroyer"colors :)  but really just want new releases to go with the stuff I have. So, I really hope they do some other decos and don't wait too long to do it. I'll probably get this anyway :p 

    True, but Robotkingdom over charges for shipping. In the end, they are the same as everyone else cost wise.

    Tridasher looks so cool! At first I was a little bummed out at how they're actually smaller than Diabattles V2 but I'm now getting excited at the idea of a getting a little squad of Tridashers.

    I've been eyeballing this line for a long time, these figures look like so much damn fun. The Tridasher seems like a good kicking off point, I just kind of wish the color scheme was different. I dig the overall design though, so I may scoop one up so I don't miss out.

    It's pretty much guaranteed that there will be a repaint before long so I wouldn't worry about waiting a bit longer.

    Yeah, actually, it might be a great balance between the powered suits and the big robots.

    Still need a big Waruder...

    I keep thinking I'm out of the Diaclone game and then they show something new that looks really cool. I'm missing Battle Buffalo, Sky Jacket, Big Powered destroyer, and the past few Waruder releases. I'm not so far behind that I couldn't still catch up. At the same time, my shelf is full and I don't know where I would put anything larger that a mech suit.
