    Gosh all the Vajra photos are making me jealous :p  I hope nin-nin-game gets their stock in soon and sends me mine :D 
    (along with my DA-93)

    Anyone else got a pre-order with nin-nin-game ?

    I ordered once from Nin-nin, and their slowness stressed me enough that I was forced to buy 40 Diaclone releases in 40 days

    I'm surprised it's holding well. My Waruder Commander legs are a bit loose and struggle to hold poses with longer bodies.

    Snapped a photo of Shadow Jetter. I did not expect this as much as I do. I thought Red Lightning would be my favorite of the flying units.

    Vajra is looking absolutely stunning in all of y'all photos. Might have to order a second one now. A pair of them would be menacing to even Powered Convoy.

    I gave it to temptation and bought a tactical carrier with an expansion pod for my two Gammas. And the added bullet bike with the expansion looks nice with the red pilot. Is there a limit to the amount of trailers you can have hooked up to the carrier?

    Honestly happy that GRB got delayed, my original order was set to go to the wrong address and I was worried DHL wouldn't change the address after it shipped out, so now that got all taken care of.

    Nope. The trailers connect to each other, so the only limits are your funding and available space. :D

    Amazon.co.jp is driving me nuts... LOL. Maybe they will ship my Vajra tonight...

    I do wish the trailer hitch stuck out a little further, though. You can't turn it much...

    I'm still waiting on mine to ship, so you're not alone. Amazon Jp tends to not like my main card I use to pay for stuff, so I always have to swap to a different card for some reason, which kinda sucks.

    I prepay, but they have to calculate refunds, etc. due to the low price guarantee and combining shipping. I'm just impatient. LOL.

    My last Diaclone order did not ship till 3:35 on a Wednesday Japanese time. Granted that was after a holiday weekend, but not surprised if it isn't till Monday or Tuesday.

    You're not as bad as my friend Sam. If he has to order anything rather than buy it outright, he is angry if its not at his door the day he ordered it, and he complains progressively more every day till he finally gets what he ordered. And he fully knows he is being ridiculous, but he doesn't care. He wants INSTANT satisfaction. It gets really annoying.

    I was wondering is there a "in Universe" explanation as to why the Rippers swords are two different colours ?
    They kinda look like hot and cold.

    I was wondering for those who have more than one ripper is there an advantage to that ?

    Per the site: "The blade part is a kind of dimensional transferor, a sword-type cutting weapon that locally transfers the part that the blade comes into contact with to another dimension and disappears. By connecting swords of the same type up and down, it becomes a powerful gun weapon that shoots wave flux superparticles from the tip."

    I am being as much silly as impatient. Yeah, I'm eager, but that always happens when they start showing up in the wild... It was that domestic US delay that I just couldn't really bear anymore, especially when I realized I could usually get non-TTM ones as cheap from Japan, quite quickly.

    I actually had several other non-Diaclone preorders start showing up this weekend and a Diaclone related project that I'm in planning stages of, which is going to take some time... So, I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. I mean it. (What do you mean that I'm sounding disingenuous? I'm fine, I tell you...)

    I hope you two get your shipping notices soon! I'm honestly surprised that mine shipped out when they did, my orders with AJP typically don't ship that soon. I typically have my pre-orders all paid up via gift card prior to shipping but they still usually take a while to process. When my Vajra order shipped at the beginning of the weekend I was very happily surprised! Anyway, I really do hope you get the good news soon!


    Yeah, that would indeed be a great improvement!


    In addition to the translated description that @Matrix Quest posted above, I'd guess that the different blade colors are similar to the anode/cathode variations of Waruda mech and that combining the weapon with one of each color blade provides an amplification to the weapon's power.

    An advantage to having more than one Ripper? It strengthens the swarm. :D
