Markus,
There's just something about the book that I love. I've used microforever.com since about 1999. It's a fantastic site. Diaclone.net unfortunately has some really terrible pictures on a lot of things.

Well, now Mason knows where he can have a look at the book, right?

Ray, NICE! I've been longing for a Bullsonic for a while now. I've lost 2 on YJ and they don't show up often.

I'll have to take a nice shot of where my Microman stuff is at when I get home next week... nothing new in a while, but it's nicely set up now with some of it's early Transformer/Microchange brethren bridging the gap to the TF side of the shelf.

Love the update Mr.Mason. Are the individual 5 blocky guys in front the MR-05 set?
Also, Eduardo Sanfordini (as Erik has named him) did a nice, spinny, youtube clip showing the green Bullsonic. Such a cool piece. I didn't realize how much was going on with that toy.

Mason has more cooler robots than I do, but I'm working on it. Haven't picked up any new Microman stuff in a while, but I mixed in a few other 3 3/4" figs to spice things up.
And, where would we be without the glorious Barf Set?:
Takara is the best. Easily my favorite vintage company, what with Transformers, Dougram, Microman, Jeeg, VOTOMS, and Diaclone. If they'd been responsible for Patlabor, and Dorvack, I could collect them almost exclusively.
One more... we both turn into guns:

Yesterday I learned that Blockman pilots are really just non-posable Diaclone drivers.
That means that they are compatible, and that Blockman and Diaclone robots are in scale, if such things interest you.

That Big Powered was one I lost this morning after bidding 42,000Y. I should have just used the buy it now but at 65,000 I dint think it would hit that. Huge mistake on my part and one that will be lamented for a long.time.

I still don't know about that, man. After fees, a 65k toy will run DAMN close to a grand. I love me some Big Powered...but I don't know if I grand-love it.

Does the barf bag come with a figure? I've seen one up on YJA a couple times, and wouldn't having a second plot of dirt to expand my three-pack.

Thanks to resourcefulness of Alen's sister, on her Taiwan toy dig, I was lucky enough to score this C10 Micro Change Browning recently. AMAZING piece. I'm so torn though. I really, really, really want to sticker him up. This guy has been sitting wrapped in plastic in the back of a Taiwan toy store since 1983 and probably hasn't been seen since Alen incited the infamous Alt treasure trail debacle... Wish I could find that rumble.

I love that kind of thing. "Diorama Technique II," the bottom one says, with detailed instructions on how to make little trees and flock the ground with faux grass to tell a delightful story.
Meanwhile "Diorama Technique I," above it, is apparently for "the terminally lazy and/or borderline retarded."

Submitted for your approval:
Pardon the quick and dirty pic (it's after midnight) and please ignore my lame watermark. It's to prevent a certain asshole from trying to "sell" my shit.
That said, I love Diaclone!
