    What a dirty trick by including a magazine/book into the set making size/weight of shipping cost go up like crazy :/
    I just want the tiny little toy in each of the Chronicle. If anybody is trying to army build those Chronicle set 2 or set 3... I can't imagine the shipping fee!! Ouch! I have One Chronicle set 2 and Two Chronicle set 3 and the shipping comes to almost $54 usd! Come on...

    They're 16 pages, they're more pamphlets then magazines. :s
    That is a stupid shipping cost though. :( 

    I don't recall seeing this mode before, very cool.

    I have them preordered too. I wish I had the means to grab two each but I’m sure repaints will come to the main line someday.

    Toy show in China on the 26th this month. I believe Hasbro will be there and Takara will be absent.

    Not worth hoping for reveals there? There is a presence in Asia because of the DA-00 exclusive, so I’m just curious what might happen.

    I still want that command center I saw last year. Or was it 2 years ago now? haha

    At most, we’d see another Hasbro Asia exclusive recolor. But I wouldn’t expect much more Diaclone wise.

    Actually I'm not so sure if we will see repaint of these pieces because this is brought to you by "Kodansha" as Media Books. Takara probably allow them to release these under a special license exclusively to & for them. Have a look at the pics.

    I'm warming to it, plus pre-Brexit splurge just in case the pound takes any more drubbings and these things end up £150+ in the near future.

    A few more Battle Buffalo mash ups. This time its Cosmo Maneuver’s pack and Big Powered’s Arms. I especially like how well everything fits together.

    Edit: I removed the sliding leg sockets on the Cosmo pack to make everything fit better.

    How many repaints will this one get? I could go for a Moonbase version.
