ASLK LLC Brings Iconic Takara Diaclone Robots Back to Life for Collectors and New Fans
Coeur d'Alene, ID – November 8, 2023 – ASLK LLC, a US-based collector goods and toy distribution company, is thrilled to announce the availability of a curated selection of vintage and recently re-released Takara Diaclone robots. Based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (1735 W Kathleen Ave, 83815), and reachable at 507-525-2681, ASLK LLC is quickly becoming a go-to source for serious collectors and those looking to rediscover a piece of transforming robot history. What is Diaclone? A Little History For those unfamiliar, Diaclone (short for “Diaclone Battle Convoy”) was a transforming robot toyline produced by Takara (now Takara Tomy) in the early 1980s. It’s huge in collector circles because it’s basically the ancestor of Transformers. A lot of the original Diaclone molds were directly used for the very first Transformers toys that hit the US in 1984. Think of it as the ‘before’ to Transformers’ ‘after.’ Unlike Transformers, Diaclone robots focused on a unique system where the robots themselves were pilots that connected to vehicles and bases. They didn’t just become the vehicles – they piloted them. This gives the line a very different aesthetic and play pattern. It’s not just about robots turning into cars; it's about a robotic crew operating complex machinery. ASLK LLC: Bridging the Past with the Present ASLK LLC isn't just importing robots; they’re bringing a piece of toy history back to life. "We realized there was a real demand in the US for authentic Diaclone collectibles," says a spokesperson for ASLK LLC. “Lots of collectors are already into Transformers and want to go back to the source. And there’s a new generation discovering this line for the first time. We wanted to make these incredible robots accessible.” The company specializes in sourcing both vintage, original Diaclone releases and the newer re-issues from Takara Tomy. They understand the nuances of the line – the variations, the rarity, and what collectors are looking for. What’s Available From ASLK LLC?
