    Thanks! Diakron toys are interesting to me, and I'm a bit surprised they aren't more sought after than they seem to be, given the relative scarcity. The box art doesn't really scream "Japanese Robot" like the Car Robot boxes do...and maybe that was Takara's goal since they intended these specifically for the U.S. market. But they are an interesting footnote in pre-TF history nonetheless.

    Just nab myself a boxed Diaclone C-2 Blockman. Everything pretty much intact, even the stickers came unapplied.
    So happy with this even item even though this is the first time I know about the blockman series.

    I miss these so much. One of the few toy lines I would absolutely pay for if it was reissued. I didn't have the Diaclone version, though - I had the 'Robotech Robolinks'.

    Does anyone know what this dinosaur/dragon-robot toy is? (the one on the left, in alt mode)

    Taken from this thread:

    diaclone dinosaur robo 1 / g1 grimlock

    I haven't seen it in Diaclone catalogues, or other Diaclone threads before.

    Wow! Didnt know this thread existed!

    I got a few months ago, this Police Countach for real cheap. The figure is tight, had chrome wear in some spots (smaller pics from the auction), some yellowing and dirty stickers

    Had to clean with a brush and soapy water, trying to not damage the stickers (although i would like to clean the paper if possible), retouch the chrome with a Molotow pen (worked wonders!), and waiting for Red Alert Stickers for robot mode

    Retrobight could be an option, but dont want to damage stickers

    Just bough a set of Red Alert accesories from ebay, hope to get em eventually

    I don't think discussing Microman toys will be posted here. They should create a "The Microman Appreciation Thread"...

    Anyway, my only way to get Clampdown is to buy another Red Alert, remove all the stickers, paint all the red areas of the front end white, and get the stickers from TFKingdom...
