    Maybe that price was too good to be true...

    Now I'm wondering if that price was meant to be for DA-84 now that I think about it. Maybe it could have been another DA-33 situation. They listed that for 100 dollars too low, but they honored that one.

    BBTS jumped the gun (as usual) and the others just followed along. lol. they used to do that a lot more a long time ago with MPs and would just make up a price to start taking PO's and would change the price once Takara sent out the official solicitations.

    LOL, TF Source still had DA-13 listed under the poor Google translation from the early posts as "Dirt" Loader instead of DartLoader until I got Jeremy to fix it a couple of weeks ago.

    Also, some sites still have early prototype mix color photos for DA-04 up.

    Well that's unfortunate. It's a silly thought but I was hoping TT would eventually calm down a bit with the prices once the line really took off. I know that's not how things work but a man can dream....

    Man that V-Shadow is pretty pricy, but I think I'm going to add a second one to my preorder at RK. I can't wait until I have a ton of Rebooted Convoys and Powered Convoys in all kind of different colors on the shelf. I know it has zero precedent but I would REALLY like to see some 'Shining Convoy' colors on the Powered Greater set.

    I’m sure if you email one of the major retailers they can work out a deal for you

    Huh, revised Dianauts, neat. Well I won't be buying the pack but if they start turning up in bigger sets then I won't complain.

    Man how do these guys keep hyping me up! I remember the interview in the Diaclone World Book a year ago where one of the designers said the male dianauts were due an update. I'm surprised they took so long to become a reality. Also these are going to be the OG 2.0 Hero Colors of the new suit, so I think I'm going to be a little weird, and I'm going to order 5 sets.... Hopefully they don't come with a motorcycle or anything, and they're about $19 each. That would be super.

    Judging by the promo pics of the Powered Greater (you can kinda barely see a Dia-Naut in the cockpit), it appears that it does come with at least one of these redesigned pilots.

    I am more hyped for the new nauts than I can logically justify to myself…a bit worried about the price since just adding the moving head on the female type was cited as an extra cost and these look ridiculously decked out for the size. But yeah- looks oh so good!
