Among all the store-released Diaclone cars from around the world, Japanese, Italian, European, North American or whatever, the Finnish Diaclones are considered by many to be the toughest of all with most releases numbering less than 3 boxed specimens found. I personally believe some Ceji Joustra Diaclone wave 2 figures to be rarer as they have not even been seen before, but there are still doubts as to whether some of them saw a proper release at all. For the time being, with confirmed releases we know about, I believe the above (and below) to be a collection of the rarest production Diaclone car robots in existence, and the nearest thing we have to a picture of the complete set. Dear Truck Crane, your brothers await you.
Paul Hitchens was kind enough to bring his Finnish R-Kioski 'store' exclusive Fire Truck around for a group shot alongside the black Corvette Stingray, Ligier and red Onebox Cherry Vanette. One day, a Truck Crane will be added to these images and we will have a complete lineup of Finnish Diaclone cars - the ones we know came in this type of English language Diaclone-style packaging. And that firmly cements Finnish Diaclone as the SECOND rarest type of Diaclone car robot collection you could have!
For now, we can enjoy these never before seen group shots, however incomplete they may be.
All the best
