    Gats Blocker could totally work with the Trivers cockpit system, each vehicle could fit one cockpit and when they're all removed you can form Gats Blocker.

    I don't think we'll see it for a while yet though, we just saw the concept for Vers riser no.3 so we've got that and repaints of VR2/3 and the suits that come with them to get through first. That's assuming they don't do one for the Tri-Rambler.

    Also with two you can give the Brontosaurus mode a tail. ;)

    Try not to think of some of the builds people post in terms of monetary value. That way lies madness.
    I usually only get one of each mold, but man, it's a blast seeing what multiples look like together.

    Yeah, japanese people seem to love buying 6 copies of things, not opening them, then selling them a year later. Its honestly very odd.


    I will admit...I am thinking about buying a second one right now just so I'll have it in hand sooner than...Eventually from 1999. I'm gonna give it a few days and see how much of this burning desire remains.

    I'm sticking with one for now, two of the arm-bots, then a Cathode version later on if it's made.

    The jail containers on the legs are neat. Wasn't sure what they were used for until I watched the video and saw they opened differently.

    The various combinations are neat!

    Warudaros looks INSANE!!

    Right, it's just left for me to put up for sale the pretty much the very last item I have left in my Diaclone collection, and ironically it's the very first one I bought!

    DA-01 Dia-Battles V2, first release with the 4 pilots, stickers applied.

    EWhgjLWXsAEn7Qs.jpg EZCmcVcXYAEF1xH.jpg

    Gimme a shout if interested!

    On a funny note, I sold one of my extra DA-01 DBs to Nick Roche a year or so ago, and I accidentally sent it to him with the special EXPO head still attached! He's been kind enough to agree to send that back in exchange for the regular head, so that will technically be the last thing I sell, but it has a buyer lined up already. Oh, and I just remembered I still have a sealed Lunar white Battle Buffalo in London, but goodness knows when I'll see that again, might as well forget it exists for now.

    Haha, AND I still have the broken Chronicles Volume 2 kit, because it seems nobody in the known universe was interested in a broken one of those haha. Most likely will just throw it in with the Dia-Battles for whoever buys it.

    Keep on being awesome you guys, this has been a WONDERFUL thread to be part of!

    All the best
    Maz

    AMJ shipped my DA-50 yesterday out of japan but oddly enough the tracking says it has reached Hong Kong and cleared customs. Excuse me :confused:  wtf? I live in korea.

    Hong Kong doesn’t even offer to ship airmail to Korea at the moment. It’s suspended all mail to my country.

    this is rather confusing. Has anyone else ever had an item not go directly to their country before?

    I had an item leave Shanghai via going to Hong Kong then shipping to the US from there. They might be trying to get it in via Hong Kong then send it over land from there? Or to an airport in China and from there to Korea via aircraft or boat, I guess. It's weird, but we live in weird times.
