    Gotta admit, I wish the new bot head could fit on the broader chest format. With the tiny neck post, it doesn't look good from all angles. Plus, it leaves a massive hole in the chest.

    But, it can still look fearsome.

    push the head forward more so it sits flatter on the body, makes the neck look better. Also mine had the neck backwards out of the package (the "lip" off of the posts goes foreward and fits better this way)

    Oh wow I want mine so bad!!! I love the kinda gaudy gold look on the Waruder stuff they've been doing lately.

    ^ A small amount of gaudy gold highlights can really make certain toys pop. I just mentioned this in the last few hours so this comment exudes synchronicity.

    To all of you who posts pics, Thank you very much. I only have Big Powered and Battle Convoy V-Max. It's so nice to be able to vicariously live through your pictures.

    Finally got my Scorponok stickered-up and cleaned off my table enough to do a small battle scene with all of my Diaclone figures vs. my Insecticons, as I don't have any Waruders yet (got Ripper on preorder). I need a bigger space with better light. Lol. Anyways, enjoy!

    Skorponok vs the entire Diaclone Defense Force is something i'd pay to see.

    Anyone need a VerseRiser 1 Shadow version? I have a spare still in sealed box. It'll be $75 to anyone in the US. I'd prefer to ship domestic but international can be doable if we can figure out customs and such.

    ^ heh heh admittedly that crossed my mind when i saw the Dianaut but the power suit warranted some love. It makes you wonder if the same customizer worked on both figures..

    I found a set for dioramas that actually works nicely with Diaclone stuff as far as detailing goes:
    MCB-01 Armageddon Upgrade Kit
    It's an add-on for the old YotS Omega Supreme, but works quite well in pieces:

    Just got a ton of notifications for arrivals at both TF Source and BBTS. Only saw DA-74 so far at TF Source. No Diaclone from BBTS for me yet, but I'm giving it at least until end of day to drop. Another update: TF Source has also added Gridman sets 2 and 3 to my stack.

    Amazon has them... I just got mine yesterday ...
    Fiskars SureCut Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer 12 Inch, 1.44x10.31x18.06 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038F1A0...abc_XA8FQXEGY2YS8JBBK7W3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    Planning to maybe start on those other Pods this weekend. Note that it does have a blue floral pattern if that type of thing bothers anyone. Fiskers is the gold standard in craft cutting scissors and blades.

    That is really tempting to get and modify for my Waruder base! Update: Ordered. Clearance at $19.99 USD, and I already have a pile I'll be shipping soon, so no shipping!

    Would someone who owns the:

    * DA-03 Type B
    * 03 Gridsuit
    * DA -77 set

    Powered Suits take and post a picture of them side by side here please?

    I'd like to see how they look together and if the latter 2 are worth adding to my collection. I'm leaning towards "no" but i'm still on the fence.
