Hey guys,

I listed my Joustra F15 Starscream on eBay last week since I was so
dissatisfied with it and got my claim rejected by Paypal. I received
an email from a French collector asking me if I had any access to
other Joustra Diaclones. All I know is who owns what but don't really
know where to get them en masse so I said no, and directed him to my
Joustra Ligier article.

Now the guy read the article, and has emailed me again with some
CRACKING information about Joustras!!

Now I wondered, should I share or should I wait, because let's face
it, the surprise of seeing the Joustra Powered Convoy for the first
time last year was one of the absolute highlights of the year, if not
THE highlight, and those kinds of surprises are really rare these
days.

Of course I should share, and hold on to yer hats and weasels because
this is major.

Now what was the difference between Byron's Joustra Powered COnvoy and
all the other Joustras we had seen? Well, it had a new grid pattern on
the box and a window that you can see the toy through. The ONLY other
Joustra I had seen like that was Ras' Helicopter cassette. That's
because both of those releases were second wave Joustra.

Here's a quote from the guy's email, A French collector, Ras knows him
as well:

"I confirm that Joustra released a second wave of
Diaclone toys that were produced in very little
quantity. Trailbreaker was part of the 1st release, I know
someone who has a MIB one ... he's the only collector
I know who has a MIB (unapplied stickers and all) ...
Toyota is the hardest to find of all the "cars" of the
1st series ... As for the second wave (Power Convoy being part of
it), they came with "window" boxes ..."

I KNEW there was a Joustra Trailbreaker :) !! Well there had to be, he
was so heavily featured in the comic and the box pictures.

But here is the absolute kicker, the gem...

"A Friend of mine saw the boxed "Nissan Fairlady"
police car (Prowl) once, at a flee market."

JOUSTRA F*CKING PROWL?!?!?!? NAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Well, time to add that to your lists folks, a second release
window/grid boxed Joustra Nissan Fairlady Z Police.

Good luck!

All the best
Maz
