As of right now they are up for Pre-order at BBTS for $40. A little steep considering the size, but whatcha gonna do?Microraptor wrote:Freaking love the aesthetic of these things.

Sheesh!!! $40 for just one?! It says set and I was hoping for 2 or 3! They're like two inches tall. Granted you get some accessories but $40?!
Guess my scout human alliances will do as human forces still.

Ya. I'm gonna wait to see what AmiAmi and the like have to offer before I pull any triggers.Randomhero wrote:Cobotron wrote:As of right now they are up for Pre-order at BBTS for $40.

And I'd guess these guys are about the size of a Gen Legends toy.

I already have the blue one on pre-order lock down, but this yellow one now has my eye as well. A two pack you say brother Jak? To the AmiAmi cave!
Edit: thanks for the link you sly dog!

It's not my thing, but it's nice to see.

So, it was a little confusing trying to post this. The red and blue are up for pre-order everywhere, separately. And BBTS has the yellow and (seriously is that grey?) up for pre-order as a 2-pack, and that's the first official anything I've seen on those two. And the military greens are shown together on the TT site, while the red/blue are separate, leading me to believe that the commandos are also a 2-pack. But the TT site doesn't show the yellow/whatever in any official capacity besides "background".Cobotron wrote:COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! With a capital K!

The original Powered Suits came in three variations, and either came in red or blue. Sculpt-wise, the arms (but not the fists!) and legs were the same.

I've been thinking. At first I was all in for this Diaclone line, but now, seeing that the line could be endless with slight modifications, I just don't know. This might end up costing me more than I'd like to spend....

I'm having the exact same mental/emotional/financial dilemma. That white knight looks amazing, but for the money I shelled out on the first one I'd rather get an entirely new but compatible robot, or at least one with more retooling and/or new parts.shajaki wrote:I've been thinking.

I may hold out to see what comes from some of the other models we saw a while ago.

Waiting for Big Powered. I'm not also into these "limited" repaint versions too.

Agreed, agreed and agreed.
I enjoyed my V2 but for the price points its hitting, I would prefer Diaclone reissues of pre G1 color schemes; i.e. Blue Swoop or Red Skids.
I am glad the first V2 is in my collection but the TF related items would entice my spending a lot more.

So which is really cheap?
Posted by Cobotron on February 28th, 2017 @ 4:02pm CST
Just to give a sense of size and scale.

I just purchased the colored red version (L2016) only 'cause I thought the gray one was a lazy re-color. It was actually a different mold?

Not entirely, only the chest compartment is different.
And I just noticed DA-07 Cosmobattles 2. It's a retooled center component, based on the DA-06 "Cosmic Maneuver" release.

The helmet part is a bit different Now it's all sold out.

It isn't, unfortunatley. Even the newer larger bots are retools of DiaBattles. Heavy retools, but at he core, retools. It's kinda bringing me down.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:It looks like Diaclone isn't safe from retoolitis. Let's hope it stays limited to the Powered Suits.
Thanks for the links Fen!
I'm confused though. Ages 3 and Up has them listed in two packs. At a pretty decent price considering.
But AmiAmi is selling them individually.

I knew you'd show up. Maybe Ages 3 and Up wants to make sure their entire case would be sold.
This time I ordered the both of 'em.

Ages 3 and Up aren't selling them in a two-pack, according to the product description:
"*Set C and D shown in picture. Set C sold separately."

I'm not missing any details on DiaBattles himself, am I?
I like the red and blue pilots. They look good like that.

Diabattles seem to have a darker hue.

There's also a "Subscribe topic" link in the lower left of a thread page, in the grey bar.
I, too, like tracking the discussion on this topic, looking at the great images coming out. But, I'm not sure I can go all in on Diaclone as my TF collection is already close to out of control....
