I don't own the vintage but always coveted it...this will be very nice to own...though, I think singularly, as a unit, this would top the scales as the most expensive toy I own...and no gokin. Both LOL and sigh.

Worth it though. There is nothing that comes close in terms of playability in my entire collection. It is one of its kind.

You're referring to the original?

Yeah, admiration from afar...like the Metal Structure releases. And many of the original Godaikins that I do not own (i.e. Tetsujin). I mean, it just is not realistic to put that amount of coin on a vintage toy -- not at this juncture in my life. And even then, I just may prefer a timepiece or save for a new car, haha.

Sorry, I was referring to the Reboot. Though I am sure the vintage one is a gem of its own right. I am just not much of a vintage collector, though bought a couple Diaclone books that showed most of the vintage stuff. So I kind of know them.

For those that are still on the fence due to the high price on getting both DA-95 and DA-100, keep in mind that this is like some of those 'once in a life time' releases (T-28 Godaikin, DX SOCs, HasLab Unicron, Metal Structure...etc.). While the combined Robot Base GX doesn't have any diecast, it packed a ton of play value and gimmick that no robot figures can compare. It will be remembered as a very iconic piece of our time, and most likely will rise in value significantly down the road, based on how sought after many Diaclone releases are now going for twice or three times their value. Don't miss the current chance of getting both DA-95 and DA-100 at below MSRP with the really good yen exchange rate right now. This is a beast of a figure in everyway. Don't miss it!

New Diaclone art with the updated Robot Base GX (no longer a placeholder from years ago).

Just came across this on Twitter. A pretty straight on look of the colored sample with very little camera distortion or posing, seeing the proportion of the real thing as what we should expect when we get ours.
