Sorry, I should have been more specific- my post was specifically about EMS service from Japan. (Robot Kingdom is Hong Kong.) Either way, glad for the signs that things are looking up overall!
Thanks! It actually took a lot of work to get to this point Red Lightning was my entry point into the line, so it only seems natural to have it as the centerpiece. It’s definitely one of my favorites and I’ve absolutely no issues, but I don’t feel quite as comfortable messing with it as I do the Trivers entries for example. The Sunburst Dasher is terrific - so if you’re on the fence consider this your push That said I told myself the same lie as you and just realized there’s no room for the D-Caliber versions in the display I just built...
Love it!! Adding the red to the Mechanical Chain scaffolds, etc. looks wonderful. I've been toying with adding paint to mine to make it stand out from all the ones online. It looks a lot like what I am hoping to do with mine. Update: Actually, looking again, that's a different set of scaffolds... Bandai? Just a note on the Cosmo Red Lightning sets. My reds don't match with the Red Lightning Dia-Battles. I don't know if it was just mine, but the red on my Cosmo is more "rust red", where Dia-Battles has a bold mettalic crimson red. I only noticed it in better lightning, which was disappointing. I still really love them though as they are striking. Anyone else notice the color mismatch on theirs?
That's how they all are. It doesn't bother me personally, since the reds on Red Lightning are inconsistent as it is.
Love the hangar setup man. Nice and clean display. The red frames - did you colour them yourself ? Either way nice contrast. The energon cubes look familiar... fanstoys insecticons?
Thanks! The scaffolding came in that color (here is a link). And, what energon cubes? Those are blocks of Freezon energy mined by that Versalizer-3 parked next to it ... just happens to have been extracted from a certain reissue’s box. (Seriously, good eye!)
Got them open today, and man D-Caliber Trijetter is just so good. Easily one of my favorite Dianaut mecha that’s been released. Only complaint is that I wish they didn’t use such a bluish grey color on so many of the parts as the color doesn’t match. The normal grey or dark grey would’ve been better. I’d have also really liked to have some black around the abdomen on both D-Caliber figures to make it match the first Tridasher better. D Tridigger, is awesome too, but man his waist joint is way too loose. Trying to figure out a decent way to fix it, but it’s not working exactly how I hoped as I’m missing a spring. Now that I have a whole set like this other than Trirambler (who’s preordered), I think I’m ok with V-max having only a number 1 as the hero color trivers team are gonna get the following numbers
Had to disassemble the HHangar to reorganize the panels. These things are a pain in the ass to take apart. If you ever decide to go H Hanagr, go big from the start. Cause it sucks trying to rebuild. Lol. I needed to move some of the flat panels to the bottom horizontal row so I could get the door magnets up. I then discovered I could use the panels I had on the bottom row as floor panels for some of command console stickers exhobby included for their own consoles they sell. i had to plan ahead for another exhobby set I have coming in July. A nice big space view that I’m going to put in the center. Sadly I only have the 1 vehicle and dianaut at my house right now. But I can’t wait to populate this space soon. I have a second half of this H Hangar display I didn’t touch. I’m hoping to leave it as is for the moment. But we’ll see. It’ll look plain compared to this when I join them together.
Hey, that poster has some familiar faces... Take it y'all have already seen this? From Ep 8 of SSSS Dynazenon. Thought I'd share, and that you guys may like the... advertising? I mean, those just are dianauts and Dia-Battle, I'm pretty sure
Yea. It got posted after the episode aired a few weeks back. I have since watched all of Gridman and caught up on Dynazenon. Lol
Got my D Caliber Trijetter and Tridigger from TCP yesterday, sadly my Trijetter didn't come with the instructions booklet or sticker sheet and the main cannon accessory is deformed. I've seen several other people with this same crooked cannon on Twitter, has anyone managed to fix it properly? I've reached out to TCP to see what their suggestion is and will wait to see if I can get a non-deformed replacement before attempting any sort of home fix.
Bloody hell, that's some serious issue. And even not having any booklet?? Strange, the crooked nose may be QC but not having booklet and stickers sounds pretty much like a 2nd hand/used diaclone item that you usually find on listings Actually, I'm convinced this is likely a used/return item! I'm curious how TCP gets this particular unit; Diaclone in general are head-and-shoulders better over the usual TakTom QC issue. Hopefully TCP comes through on this one for you!
This month we had twice the releases Diaclone normally receives, I believe production was ramped up after BC.
such worrying outcome, but I breathe a sigh of relief when he showed the tamiya cement. Such a familiar thing to see in fixing things hahah! On the outlook of this, it makes you feel a bit nervous for the impending battlesgridman release. That thing's connected by thin joints as we all know from the renders. Hopefully errors like this are noticed by the devs...
Yeah, the picture doesn't even do the deformity justice, it looks way worse in person. I highly doubt this was a return, I got it from TCP immediately after they got their stock and the box was sealed and did not appear to have been retaped. I just hope their whole shipment doesn't have this issue and that I can get a replacement. Worst case scenario I will try steam treating it to see if I can get it to straighten out but I really don't want to have to do that with a toyline this expensive. Hopefully they take care of me, in the last couple months alone I've dropped about $1000 with them on Diaclone figures/preorders, I've always heard great things about their store too.
I got a set from AMJ and they were doubletaped, wonder if yours just got missed. Just looked at my gun and it's warped too
