The cost per package really, I have found it so hard to justify $45 for a small suit.


I would recommend the new epsilon suit or the exclusive red bughead waruard suit; since it comes with a core suit plus the attachments

I get that TriDasher isn't a car (and come on, that name really spells it out), but a wheeled tank does make more sense next to a jet and a drill tank. Plus they have proper transformations without requiring disassembly.

Wish I knew if they were going to do a release on the “realistic/military” colors (Black/blue/red) like Destroyer and Buffalo....

Broke down and recently picked up then”tank/transport” set (GV legs w/ cannon/trooper seating). Damn some of those prices jump.... also wish they’d do a second release of the.... gama(?) suits.... the black riot maneuver ones....those quickly sold out and doubled in price.

Well zero regrets getting the land cruiser set other than I wish I pulled the trigger when I could have gotten it sub $100. I hope they redo it in destroyer colors; though for now I actually kind of like the difference. All part of that dis-separate parts coming together. The flat bed/hauler is glorious!

Www.amazon.co.jp if you can, the prices on new releases are about as good as they get.

I placed a Triverse Pre order on tfsource. We'll see if I keep it, but that bot mode looks really good, and compared to other Diaclone, that's an ok looking price

Yeah, that $100 price point has me curious where it’ll stand compared to the flight suit and Buffalo/Dia Battles

the White or the "standard" edition? Also I wasn't aware it went on for a second running?

it's a great figure though, hope you enjoy it. I'm bracing myself for all the new releases coming down the pipe... Takara seems to be building steam for this line like Siege is for Transformers...

Arm and leg connectors are interchangeable with Diabattles and Big Powered, as long as molding around them doesn't interfere.

Buffalo is a bit taller than Battles.
strike14-withdiab.JPG

The back has sections that swivel out of the way to make room for a Battles-02 wing section.
strike16-diabwings.JPG

A tiny adapter piece lets other Powered Suits dock as heads, though all their limbs just kind of pile up around them.

Again, swappable components.
