Have you guys seen these?

Which go with these.

They're like $7US over there. Hopefully some US sellers will find a way to get them in stock and sell them for reasonable prices. They're kits instead of finished pieces, but they're Diaclone scale.

Mega Bloks figures are hiding in terror right now. So many will lose their limbs for the greater good.

Is it easy to switch parts between Dianauts?
I see that some sets have different colors mixed like a blue top with silver legs, but how hard would it be to make a full blue figure for instance?

I found it very easy. However, I have found the torso joint is the most likely to break when swapping parts. I think I have three that are now permanently glued at that joint.

I've been waiting on a US/Canadian/Ebay supplier to purchase them from.

If you want environments for your Dianauts, I want to suggest the Hexbugs space station sets.

A bit tight for Megabloks, but they still fit.

Got my Lost Planet version of the Cosmic Battles Mech. Man, again, awesome toy. Like it better than the red version - mostly, because of the accessories that come with it. Like the ships that I can build for the dianauts better with this set than what came with my first one. And, haven't done it yet, but think the colors will fit better with the Hex Bug base.

Indeed. That white and gray colorway would fit just fine, plus the white Dianaut is just like the Starcom Commander that came with the base.

The pilots are 32mm tall.

Bandai's answer to Diaclone is ...Gundam Micro Wars.

Okay, now I'm interested. Of course, being Gundam related, it'll make the Diaclone pricing look cheap.

So far....for what we care about at least. ..the prices look damn good and not at all like what Diaclone looked like early on. The prices are similar to MFT.

MORE IMPORTANTLY LOL...

I've seen side by side images of the pilots and dianauts. The 2 to 3mm of additional height makes the limbs slightly thicker. Barely but enough for that oh so important modification me thinks...
