    You’re making me sad Sixo! I was hoping you guys were still excited about the reboot and would eventually do a podcast on it.

    If you weren't fully aware, Chronicles 2 and 3 are able to be put on in a lot of ways by separating into individual parts. Also, like the first Scepter and Loader, they are kits to be built, but do not come with storage containers or Naut figures.
    I just did one combination and just used the Delta I already had out which matches the colors better anyway.

    Have any of you seen this battle convoy video? 08:50 is where it gets crazy!

    Oh my!.. I totally forgot about Delta's wings. I considered making a regular Combat set attachement, but with Delta suit instead of №1.

    £400 is too rich for my blood but if you'll take a lower a Buy It Now price I'm in the UK and can pay today. (I don't think this site has DMs to discuss in private, does it?)

    You’re pics of Moon Diabattles are why I had 30 releases to catch up on, and now I have at least 2 of every release. I understand not having room though. I had to sell some triple-dips of a few molds.

    luckily this line appreciates like it’s already vintage

    will you be keeping any of your Reboot items or are you out completely?

    Sadly, I'm out! BP is actually the last to go (although I am hopefully going to be reviewing Battle Convoy soon). I love the toys, absolutely LOVE them... but it was proving to be a commitment too far with TFs as well, and priorities needed to be made. Even now I'm sad to see BP go, but needs must!

    It’s understandable. They’re uncommonly expensive and demand a lot of real estate in a collector’s house. I don’t have any vintage toys in my collection, so I’m able to support these newer pricy lines that TT are designing.

    That said; it seems TT is going back to a more sincere 80s inspired design. It’s possible you’ll find a new jumping in point in the next few years ;) 

    * oh by the way I actually really like your reviews. They’re late to the party but your presence, knowledge, presentation, and general demeanor as a passionate collector are 100% brilliant.

    Keep on keeping on.

    Yeah. Delta is already probably the most versatile of the Powered Suits.

    Throw in any of the add ons and you have a ton of new options. Time was short due to some other pre-commitments, so I did just the one...

    All he has to do is do an episode on Diaclone reboot of his podcast and we’ll get him and Maz back in the fold. I’m ready.

    I’m with you Puma! I’ve never watched a live podcast or really been into podcasts. So I don’t really know how to heckle or how to support. But I know when I don’t know something to follow the ones that seem like they do. I’ll do what’s necessary to twist both their ankles lol

    I don’t listen to podcasts. But I have found Sixo and Maz’s podcast really enjoyable. If you have time, I would check it out. Really enjoyable. Triple Takeover Toycast

    Subscribed. Too bad Spotify premium doesn’t have podcasts in Korea. Also too bad I couldn’t find other people to do this with a few years back. I like to talk and I like TFs. I feel I could have made a nice halfassed attempt at a podcast or something. :p

    Thank you, that's very kind and much appreciated! Yeah, I'm rarely the first to review stuff but I often do it as soon as it's available to me anyway, haha! Glad you're enjoying them. :) 

    Haha, thanks again. We've had great fun doing the podcast so glad it's coming across well!

    We're not, I'm afraid, but we are on all major podcast hosts. For the full list you can find us at www.tripletakeover.com
