POP 2 – only a total of two examples - AFA 75 & AFA 85 - are found in AFA’s population report (no others found in any grade).

Takara Diaclone was the Japanese predecessor to the popular G1 Transformers line. The chronology was well documented in the beloved Transformers episode in Netflix’: The Toys That Made Us. We are proud to present the No. 18 Lancia Stratos, white in color (no yellowing), the basis for Wheeljack. Our example has been graded by the hobby’s leading grading service, AFA, utilizing their current three tier grading system that includes subgrades: it earned a very nice overall 75 blue label grade including 85 assigned to two of the three subgrades. In their 25-year history, AFA has graded a grand total of TWO Takara No. 18 Lancia Stratos. Our example is “hobby fresh”, graded in May 2024. It was consigned to us by one of the premier G1 collectors in the country. A rare opportunity to acquire piece of Transformers history.  Encapsulated by AFA (75q, 75-85-85), #14895927
