    The new pilots piqued my interest enough to dip my toes back in and I paid shipping for my Amiami pre-order today. Gotta say I’m a little bummed by this actual release. Still have time to cancel my bike and versalter orders though - if Amiami allows that.

    I don't see why so many people are complaining about the reduced movement span of shoulder and hip joints. Ok, it's a little annoying, but you can fix it easily by cutting off/shaving part of the joint or something like that... Not a big deal to me.

    Yet, i honestly don't understand why Takara made that choice. It would've cost them nothing to keep using the old joint socket design.

    Sounds very weird to me, are we 100% sure it's a real thing and not some random issue found only on a few dianauts? Maybe most of them don't have that problem

    I know personally I do not like modifying the toys in a permanent way. And, the increased range of movement was why I got so many.

    I should have my initial six sets from AmiAmi by Friday night. (I cancelled my additional sets at TF Source.) They will probably all be from the same case, but if I see variations, I will share.

    I should get mine in 3/4 months, so i'll wait for your updates...

    But if you have enough spare dianauts, you should be able to just swap legs and arms. The sculpt might not be the same but if the movement range is so important and you have parts with matching colors...

    I mean, i've got 4 cases of the first set and 2 of the second only to swap parts and have armors with a specific series of color sets, plus i want to customize the heads without helmets, so... :lol

    I'll take it as a yes.

    Counted 110, but i might've missed some and at the same time counted someone else twice... Btw, i have to count mine. I'm sure i'm over 50 but not sure if i reach 70. Probably i do.

    I don't really want to swap the parts. As far as how many Nauts I own, I would not even want to try to count.

    I have a lot of stuff in mail right now and pilots in stuff all over my room. I do have a count of sets I track in an app, but it would include Waruder sets too. I really should see if it has a way to add tracking of figures and separate Diaclone from Waruders... Otherwise, I'd have to move it to Excel.

    I have 299 sets in hand. All but Chronicles 2 and 3 came with at least 1 figure. The Warudaroid Expo set had 9 figures... I have 31 sets in the various mail services right now. None of this includes vintage...

    No matter what number it comes up to someone else on here could easily eclipse it. LOL. I'll get back with a total in a day or two, if I can...

    This is over a hundred? Good grief hahahaha. This isn’t even half. I just grabbed what I hadn’t put in cockpits or displayed around dioramas

    Depends how you define "Spare" also... they are all quite precious little guys (and gals).

    Sir, please contact your local hospital and ask about their programs to treat addictions:lol 

    ...i tried to remember ALL of mine, included the ones in cockpits and stuff, and i'm 100% positive i don't even get close to 100.

    HOW.

    I agree. The only ones i consider as "spare" dianauts are the ones i had to "frankensteinize" in order to give a better color scheme to other dianauts. And i consider them as "spare" dianauts only because often i had to switch parts between more than 2 in order to get one with proper colors, so some "spare" dianauts have such a casual mix of colors they look like if they just came back from a Pride parade

    Has anyone successfully straightened out the soft antennas on the Dia Battle V2? What method did you use?

    Use hot water…less chances of deforming the plastic…

    I used hope and a lot of blasphemous swearings.

    So, good luck.

    I just realized a thing...

    I have several dianauts, some waruder soldiers AND a pet hamster.

    Do you think there's any chance for me to see something like this if i throw the dianauts and waruder soldiers in my hamster cage?
