I thought of you *immediately* upon seeing them.

I updated the post with some images of the Wheeled Warrior line for comparison.

 

Got my Trijetter from Amazon.jp today. I haven't had a chance to open it yet, but I got mad respect for Amazon.jp's method of shrink-wrapping the box to the internal cardboard insert. Can't help but feel like I'd need to return less stuff to Amazon.com for in-transit product damage if they adopted a similar methodology. "Wait, what? You mean I can't just toss this in an oversized bubble mailer/empty box and slap a label on it?"
Exactly.

Back to Diaclone Reboot, I'm not sure when I'll get around to opening Trijetter. My enthusiasm for this line is completely gone. I never fiddled with Tridasher outside of the first day of transforming to vehicle back to robot. Barring any environment/base-type release, I've got two releases left to go (Marine Epsilon and Big Stompy).

To be fair, I don't think that this is unique to Diaclone but really more of my overall tastes and interests. I've still got MP Optimus 3.0 and MP Inferno sitting in their boxes unopened with no plans to do otherwise in the foreseeable future.

 

I'm supposed to get my Jetter, Dasher and sky-jacket from HLJ tomorrow and my Cathode bug-head from Robot kingdom as well. The problem with me is.... I've been so loaded down with course work and job work I don't have time to play. I just setup a few dudes around the house so I can gander at them between life. I hope to start photographing some combinations soon.

 

^ I can relate. That's why i don't collect as much as "customize" . If i don't interact with "it" it has to go.

 

Really digging these tri guys.

 

Very cool.

 

Damn, that helicopter mode is slick. All these combinations are making him harder and harder to resist

 

Got a Tri-dasher today, ordered one from Amazon Japan as it seems Kapow have been stiffed again.

 

should have the random big powered IMS that TCP got in on my doorstep friday, will be my first BpGV (and I know I will then have to try and get at least destroyer...) as well should have trijetter tomorrow (which will make me go back for dasher I know it)

 

That helicopter works better than the official mode.

 

Can you help me ID the tail parts? Putting together the sky jacket right now. My shoulder angel and devil say "never imaged i'd see sprue grid on a..." and "you sound like whiner get me the toy."
Jetter and Dasher are sitting on the sidelines in their boxes promising me a sweet reward. I put together an "Action Base 5 (flight stand) a few minutes ago, now I am ready for "Take Off!" -like the little booklet says.

 

The tail is the trijetters big gun mounted somehow

 

Hi all, I know I don't belong here   but I saw something on Twitter about a DA-51 and didn't see it mentioned anywhere on here...it's up on TTMall right now:

国内:タカラトミーモール限定 ダイアクロン DA-51 トライヴァース　トライディガー<宇宙海兵隊Ver>

Domestic: Takara Tomy Mall Limited Diacron DA-51 Trivers Tridiger <Space Marine Corps Ver>

 

Roughly $121.27 USD. I wonder what that would translate to after mark up was added for retailers in the States?

 

FINALLY!!! A space marine bot!!! Thanks for the update. Honorary News credit +1

 

Pretty cool, I was digibashing a Moon version, but I "dig." I was day dreaming about Zaku earlier today.

 

That..that moves me . Those colors make me feel differently about it.

 

Aw shit. Nice.

 

Question for those who already got the Trijetter. In my copy, the cockpit module seems to fit a little too loose into the robot's chest. In jet mode, the cockpit clearly wobbles. It is definetly not as a tight fit as in the case of Tridasher. Does that happen with your copy?

 

Another pass for me.
