Hi all,

To the Staff: My sincerest apologies if I should not have started a new thread for another article while the other one is still on the first page. If this goes against the accepted forum etiquette here, would you be able to merge the threads and give them a general title so I can post all my articles in one thread? Many thanks in advance and sorry again for the obvious inconvenience:)

I'm really excited to put this article out there, as it's a Joustra Diaclone that's taken me years to add to my collection. For years there wasn't enough proof for most of us to know it existed. I found some pictures a few years ago, and this year finally a kind French collector has made it possible for TF-1 to feature it alongside the other Joustra Diaclones I've been lucky enough to find. There's a special message for him and a few kind others at the end of the piece.

Joustra Diaclone TOYOTA 4x4

Some nice pics of Diaclone Yellow Trailbreaker, Milton Bradley Trailbreaker in there too amongst other things. Not to mention bloody awesome artwork from Paul Vromen to accompany the article, and killer colours from Eman Zubia

Even if nobody reads this one, it was one of the most enjoyable I've ever written.

All the best
Maz

Sweet stuff - first one I've seen of these myself as well. I love the Hilux 4x4 mold, and have been trying to refurbish an old Diakron blue one, which I might finish this side of armageddon... Either way: Brilliant find, and thanks for sharing!

Cheers Martini ,

Is it ok for me to post the articles in separate threads or would you prefer a single thread for all of them?

All the best

You're welcome, er... Mazini?

No problem with the singe threads as long as they are as sporadic like this, IMO. If you crank up your output again to what it was x years ago (like, 2 a days each day for a fortnight), I might prefer the single one. Thinking about it, a single thread might be easier to manage - having links for all your latest articles in one handy place.

BTW, did you ever see this? Methinks it makes for some compelling arguments for the origin of some of IGA's color choices...

Hey guys,

Here's my article on TF-1 for the last of the wave 1 cars released by Ceji Joustra in Europe under the "Diaclone" banner.

Lots of pics in there of Japanese and Italian Diaclone Ratchet, Milton Bradley 'MB' Ratchet, US Ratchet, Japanese mailaway Ratchet, bunch of stuff on the Red Cross box variant and of course the Joustra artwork and comic (which you HAVE to see!!! Evil minibots!)

Enjoy

All the best
