    Considering that's how it started, i guess it ended VERY bad.

    Wow, what a display... there's so much to the line now you could practically fill another cabinet the size of your G1 display.

    I can't see any stands hanging from above on the pic in your Twitter post. Do you mind explaining this trick, or alternatively which episode of TT it was in? Like you I'm also finally getting to display my collection and this would be very handy info.

    Diaclone Reboot will get its own shelf, but it will be mixed in the same cabinet as TF, Diaclone (vintage), SOC and a few others, so I'm not sure if the whole base diorama would work or if I keep it museum style.

    While doodling an upgrade, I did this. Suspension Arm of Tridasher and Mega Crusher of Destroyer. This is why we need replicas (fancy small batch KOs) of these items and/or new upgrades with matching function and aesthetics.

    Oh, that's a great shot! And one perfect angle of view.

    I've seen on twitter that the peg is the exact same size. So probably :/

    As expected, I got my Chariots from HLJ before getting the regular Tread Versaulter from BBTS. Wow though.

    I wouldn't say that either the Gamma or the Tread have a "fragile neck peg". I have a dozen so far across the current releases and not one has a problem with the neck peg. This all probably started with one person getting a figure with the head not fully pegged in and then they forced it. The head IS removable. The very first thing when you take either Gamma or Tread out of the box, make sure the head is seated correctly. Gently press the head in all the way and you will never have a problem. If you ever remove the head, Just make certain the center peg in in correctly and press gently down on the head till it is fully seated. The peg is NOT fragile. Any issues are either due to improper installation at the factory which is super easy to check and correct, or ham-fisting afterward. And I do mean that with all due respect. You have to be pretty brutal to snap the center peg.

    Has anyone had any problems with their Tread Versaulter knee pins? I'm seeing a lot of reports on Japanese twitter. well like maybe 3, but an issue is an issue I guess.

    I didn't have any with my 3 Tread. Amazon.co.jp won't be mailing my Chariots out until the end of the week or so...

    That's good to hear. the Chariots are the first time I've ordered from AmiAmi and I was surprised that they actually shipped faster than Amazon.jp. It was just a smidge cheaper too, but only by $2 per Chariot. You can't beat Amazon.jp's customer service though, my Gantry came in and was broken and I was able to return it for a replacement without any difficulty. AmiAmi is still unknown in that category...

    So far, pretty solid. Though I've not had time to really scrutinize my Tread Chariots beyond a basic once through of all the joints.as they just showed up this morning and I am now working. I do feel like the basic Tread Versaulter joints are a little looser than the Gamma and Gamma Airborne.

    One of my base Gamma's bullet core does feel a little bit less sturdy than the others. The side pieces shift a bit when opening and closing the cockpit.

    Im in a similar position. Got shipping notice from amazon.jp on Chariot, still nothing from BBTS for any of the Tactical Movers.

    Im kind of done ordering Diaclone from BBTS at this point. Im going to order from amazon.jp, HLJ, or the Chosen Prime. BBTS is just so, so far behind.

    Raidbullets also came from BBTS today (finally) in what feels like the tiniest pile of loot. I wish I would have ordered more. I’m sure they’ll rerelease them in a different color, or something.
