    Been looking around for 1:60 cars, its pretty tough, found the Takara Tomica cars some of which are 1:60, 1:58, 1:57 which should/could work but they are mostly only available in Japan and other countries and they tend to be expensive and its unsure if some have interiors that are properly scaled, very few reviews online. I recalled that I bought my kids some toy cars for their birthday so I tried some of those and they appear to work although I have no idea of the scale or brand however each one can fit 2 Dianauts and they appear to be close to scale.

    Dianauts are 1.2 inch, if we 1:60 that, they should be 6ft each, a 6ft person should stand over the roof of most cars so while i don't think that it is exact, it is close, if the cars were any smaller, Dianauts figures would not be able to fit inside so im at a loss as to if they are precise scale or not.

    I'll definitely keep looking for precise 1:60 scaled cars, I ordered a Volkswagen and a Fairlady Z, aiming to build a group of some of the original Diaclone Car robots that went on to become Transformers. 20201007_172010.jpg 20201007_172214.jpg 20201007_172331.jpg 20201007_172504.jpg 20201007_172804.jpg 20201007_173102.jpg 20201007_173515.jpg 20201007_175549.jpg 20201007_175800.jpg 20201007_175900.jpg

    What’s deal with the canon deployment for Battle Convoy? Is there an expansion set?

    DA-64 comes with some extra pieces. Is that what you were asking about?

    Hey thanks. Nice I guess I need two of these... it looks like 2 of the Domed Twin-Cannon in a set?

    So what exactly am I looking at? I get the turret. What is the other stuff? Is it all BC add-ons?

    Sorry, I can’t type a lot right now but these are the pieces minus the seats. Edit: the seats appear to be the same as the ones from the land battle cruiser.

    Fack.
    Sex on wheels.

    That hits all of my collecting buttons.

    Sleek, sci fi, vehicle + well articulated figure combo and reflective coloring.

    The only thing missing is the RC component for me.

    Ha. Well, it’s not worth opening if you don’t have time to enjoy it. I get it. ;)

    Dachande, I'm jealous of your DA-17 :p 

    Also gosh darn the DA-19 is super hard to find for a remotely reasonable price :O
    Those guns are cool but not worth like $400 lol

    Oh wow DA-64 looks like it comes with lots of useful extra parts for Big Powered!

    I'm pretty sure DA-65 comes with 2 domes cannons, also.

    You can't put the domed cannons onto a DA-14's shoulders like a Destroyer, can you? (14 doesn't have connectors for cannons on the shoulders like Destroyer does?)

    PrimalFury, that looks cool. DA-52 on a DA-47 - and those bullets stack vertically?

    B81183B7-1821-45F4-A2D9-7DF6A168C567.jpeg Old family photo I took a while back. The collection has grown a little since then.

    now that I have your attention, is it true that they’re not planning any recolors of Convoy V-Max? I read a translated interview of the designers, but can’t be too sure of its accuracy.

    sorry man, hard to find an exclusive toy released over two years ago. I know that colors of the IMS are sexy, but get the Destroyer. You won’t have ANY regrets on that (except it not being the IMS)

    Ok, so I own a DA-01EX (moon base).
    I'm ordering a DA-33 (destroyer).
    I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a DA-06 (cosmo).

    How do I decide between the DA-29 (black) and DA-37 (white) buffalo strikers? :) 

    Also, does anyone know if the DA-65 (v-max convoy) will release in any other colour variants at some point? I think the red/blue actually looks pretty good on it, but it's not a colour any of the other ones I have (or am getting) are. Maybe it doesn't matter lol

    Pretty sure they'll release it at least in 2 more variants.
