They all likely ended already. Fortunately I have one coming (once they finally come out).

This looks so good. And the box is a great homage to the vintage Diaclone boxes. Can't wait!
I'm just surprised that we are not seeing any info regarding any other planned Diaclone reboots.

Anyone see any news on this line? I am getting kind of nervous that I have heard nothing.

Anyone see any news on this line? I am getting kind of nervous that I have heard nothing. No updates, schedule release is end of May beginning of June. Will probably see more attention to it once it gets release. All site still have it for pre order so it doesn't seem like there are a great deal of interest on this. Just notice we cant post links or something. Just search Diaclone on the usual import sites like amiami, hlj, Nippon Yasan, I think anime export is sold out. For domestic, both bbts and tfsource has it but a little more expensive. Toyarena should also have it too.

I was hoping this was going to pick up traction as well. I think they really picked a poor choice for the first figure. There are a lot of other "wanted" figures from the line that would have generated a lot more interest. Instead they pick the figure that practically everyone had the KO of.

I disagree. The fact that there are so many KOs floating around and it made it into the Diakron and Kronoform lines only shows the popularity of the figure, and more people are probably familiar with the toy than something like Big Powered, which will only help generate interest and boost sales. If they pick a more obscure toy to redo, it won't draw as much interest from the general masses, only from the diehard fans. And its certainly a much better decision than the Gats Blocker! I can see the DiaAttacker as the next release, if they continue on.

I agree it should not have been the multi-force. Lol
I think dia-attacker, warudaros, or battle buffalo would have been a better choice for a first figure. Just my opinion. Definitely not big powered or any of the bases, too soon for those.

Its supposed to be out later this month. All the stores still list May as the release date. Kind of getting scared with no news at all. If it was delayed, I'm sure there would have been news of that too. That's what I get for finally pre-ordering an item.

I will be bullsh*t if this gets cancelled (and I didn't even order one), just for the sake of the rest of the line.

Amazon.jp says release date is likely to be May 28 - so one week! I'm excited and hope it's true. link

Ooh i hadn't noticed that box shot before, it looks great! It's nice to see Takara Tomy applying their knowledge to something other from Transformers. I'm really looking forward to going through all the modes... especially with the lack of new Soul of Chogokin announcements recently, not much has been scratching that kind of itch for me.
Just hope the quality holds up ... i should have mine this Sunday, so will post some pics and impressions then!

Looks really good, but very plasticy. The original photos suggested more of a polished finish. Here, it all seems sort of cheap. Not that the toy is crappy, but the materials. I guess I am just more of a diecast / shiny finish kind of guy.

I didn't buy, but I agree. That was my initial thought from all the promo pics. Very masterpiece TF like.
Love the head transformation gimmick though - that is pure 1980's though, so many toys I had as a kid utilized that spring type of mechanism.

Mine is due in tomorrow. I sort of figured that, it being from Takara Tomy who uses diecast very minimally in Transformers. Too bad, I really like my red, yellow and blue robots to have diecast in them.
