    With the increased price point for Powered Greater, surely it has to have more to it than 2 vehicle modes on its own... Still no official listing on TT site. That's where we normally have additional pictures show up.

    Yes, that price almost puts it near the same level as DA-65 (I paid US$264.90) - which came with a freaking trailer lol

    I'm beginning to wonder if a "cab-bot" Convoy doesn't come with the upgrades in that release...

    From the hi-res pictures we have so far, I can see DA-85 alt-mode are bigger than
    DA-65, so I guess it is fine. Remain to be seen if it's worth the 5000 difference

    How much are you willing to spend on Reboot GRB?

    @HolyCulture I have been muted him since forever :D  he has a good fb page, but
    not so much over here, for some reason.

    DA-04 Dia-Nauts pack was 3000 on 2017, 3800 in 2019 Dianaut woman.
    5000 for a new version is fine I guess, wish it has some accessories, since I can
    see some nubs on the elbows

    Pictures clearly state da65 battle convoy v-max sold separately.

    See attached

    ...so, I doubt it comes with a convoy cab

    If GRB ends up being the same size as Big Powered DA-80, then maybe it’ll be under Unicron pricing. But if it’s bigger…

    I'm really hoping it's bigger. Bigger the better for me :D  :D 

    Also I'm gonna go nuts when they release a massive flying thing, like big powered size...

    yeah, for 90 i wouldve gone for it, but that much for some accessories is a bit much, even with this hobby.

    I'm now pretty much hovering over HLJ and Amiami, waiting for DA-82 to go up for pre-order! lol

    I was watching A_J for nearly everything, but for a lot of stuff they just aren't the cheapest option anymore. Heck, the Ghoul and Drago pieces cost more shipped from them now than what BBTS was asking.

    Those two were TTM exclusives, Amazon doesn't sell those, if you see anything TTM on there it's from private sellers.

    Then, I can't for the life of me figure out why the price is as high as it is compared to V-Max...

    it's extra 5000 yen compared to V-Shadow, and the alt-modes does seems bigger too

    bro it's going to be at the very least 1.5x the size of DA-80. So I'm just banking on the price to be at the very least 1.5x as well. Who knows though. It's coming, that's for sure. And we're all going to lose our collective shit hahahah. I just hope it's under $800 shipped. That would be just Prime.

    The two vehicles that it's made up from are pretty much the same size and mass as Battle Convoy's own.

    Two bullet cores, probably two dianauts, plus the sword and shield, any conenctor bits etc and those new dianauts are probably pushing the price up a little also.

    If and when GRB is made, I feel it will be released in five sections that are in the $300-400 range each. The sections will have base compatability, but probably not bot modes, so a lot will need added for structural integrity and play value.
    Releasing it as one big set would probably be a massive sticker-shock moment and would definitely drive potential customers away. Spacing the sections out over a year or two would make the expense less painful.

    Totally nailed those legs for the robot jox mode lol, was wrong about the face though.
    No new dianauts after all but the weapons are cool.

    Wished they could have slimed down those waist joints a bit. Getting them to fit in vintage Diaclone toys would be fantastic.
