    Really sorry to hear about that. I hope you can find a replacement. It might take a while, but sometimes people put items up piece by piece on Yahoo! auctions in Japan. It might not hurt to check once in a while.

    If you don’t mind a different color, here is one for the upper body (including arms) in blue:

    【新品・未使用】部品・パーツ販売 ダイアクロン... - ヤフオク!

    If you need help getting it from Japan, PM me and we can see about working something out.

    Or you can always consider a Powered Greater, since combining that leaves the original arms leftover anyways. Hope this helps!

    Touch, I remember touch
    Diaclone came with touch
    Dianauts in my mind
    Tell me what you see
    An alien in a dream
    Space invader it seems
    A half-forgotten song
    Where do I belong?
    Tell me what you eat
    I need human meat

    Do you have a picture of the problem?

    one option might be to get the powered convoy set da-85. and just use the upgraded arms as replacement.

    You'll need to use a proxy service like From Japan or Zen Market

    Not the answer you're looking for, but you could totally use it to re-enact this animation convoy.png

    Both of my DA-93s had this issue. This is a great fix and worked perfectly, no scratches or damage to either head. I tried fixing it using my own strength, but the force required to seat the visor on such a tiny area requires the use of a tool.

    Most companies here are officially on holiday from today… you never know but I would expect we will not see anything new until after the 5th or so of January.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see the tease for the completed Dia-guardian!

    Ah, that'll be why Ami Ami haven't shipped Dia Guardion yet then.

    Yeah, same with Amazon.co.jp... It's why I was hoping international orders would get out the door yesterday, but they stayed in the "preparing for shipment" status. :(

    Mine shipped from AJ, but it’s through ECMS. I didn’t realize it was set to Standard shipping until it was too late to change. Same with my MP Trailbreaker, so I won’t be able to enjoy these new toys until around Jan 12. :(

    Got my box with two just now. Had to do the head fix on both, but it was super easy. I love this little guy.

    You're welcome, and thanks for the info about the fix being easy! It looks like an easy one from that video an it's nice to have that confirmed. :) 

    Man, I'm excited to get this set! I thought it looked like a fun one from the start and the more I see of it the better it gets—especially with the upcoming add-on set!

    I love how they've fit three pilots into a small mech!

    I put in a bid on the chest set. I planned on painting the figure anyway, so that would work perfectly.
    Thanks so much to everyone for the advice!

    It’s funny to me how close these two sit while typically being totally separate.

    Also: I love backwards compatibility. (And dusty shelves apparently.)

    I was waiting for the second pic, not bad. I wonder if we'll see the Tactical Mover frame in Red or blue at some point.
    What is the issue exactly? Is the head not 'squeezed together'? Or is it 'pushing down' on the head to seat the visor (like the VERSaulters?)
