    Like I said, my collection isn't the largest...lol!

    I finally started nesting plastic trays and flattening boxes. They were just taking over... I have a few left to breakdown. I also still have a mixed stack of unopened toys, but focusing on the Powered Suits means I can more easily store the raid chambers on those.

    But, actually, seeing your stacks makes me feel I'm less out of control.

    @PixHell - Your "Wonderful" is a thing of beauty!

    I wish TT went harder on these unified color schemes vs what they have produced so far. I would love it if the next Gigantor matched DA-82 Grappler's colors to a "T". Those are the only Waruders I have picked up so far because my personal ascetics just can't handle the some of the other color combos.

    I don't understand why they didn't make the wings sweep back like with the Sky Jackets... That would have made it easier to use and a nod to the vintage jets... That said, the Delta didn't have sweep wings... Wonder if this was originally going to be a Delta update? That's what I really wanted.

    I'm actually less impressed by this one. Probably will get less of it to start with. (Less, meaning fewer than the 7 of the first one I ordered...) I really feel these wings could have been better offered as a lower priced upgrade kit.

    I wonder now if we will get other environment sets as the rest of the subset... Like sea, space, etc.

    Ugh, that shipping is a killer anymore.
    I guess I'll wait for BBTS again.

    I'm with you, the color scheme should've been different. Also, they engineered it in a way that literally forces you to unmount several parts if you wanna get a decent color scheme.

    It was a damn nightmare to make it, but i'm damn proud of the result.

    The only thing i regret is that i couldn't get out the pins that hold the cockpit plates on the forearms, nor i was able to split the old di o head apart and swap the necks. This way, the blue Gigantor still has some visible red pieces...

    But i honestly don't care, because the red/Gold one is amazing. That's what i planned to get, and i got it. Yey me!

    Yeah, at best my savings going through AJ for DA 80 was like 9 dollars... but did get pretty fast shipping. However, if you order 2 of the Versaulters, its 3,343 yen for shipping. Came to 18483 for two of the Versaulters. Price might come down a little.

    Right now I can only see myself picking up (1) of these and that is specifically for the wings. The yellow on black just doesn't do anything for me especially when the wings are overwhelmingly red & black.
    I hope the red at least matches Shadow Max. Still haven't received mine yet but that shade of red seems almost metallic and just pops!

    Give a like to this comment if you hope Takara will ever give us Diaclone Dinobots or even a Diaclone/MMPR Megazord crossover.

    If any god exist, i'm gonna take the MMPR crossover as a proof of the fact the religion of the maker is real and i will convert to that religion, i swear.

    I have a severe phobia for stinkbugs. None of the insecticons has a stinkbug alt mode, but i still don't wanna risk it.

    So, i'll gladely pass.
