@fujkenasai:
WHAT THE...?

Photoshop can get that Kitty Voltron.
Real-life, I'm guessing Pet Store only? But have to combine yourself-lah and wait for visit from SPCA Selangor so totally NOT recommended.

@cryonic, ahtiven:
How come you guys don't want to help translate the Zevle Megatopros site?
From the pictures, it definitely looks like custom moulding and production.
Maybe can get bro Edmaestro to produce paintable pilots like on the website?

Kitty Voltron is not a part of Zoidooooo! Blasphemy!

You know right, my Korean colleagues are just around the corner I just couldn't bother.

Edit:Ok, basically this guy went with Yoon to buy this beast. Bought two, one for built another for keepsake. He also broke the torso part while building and is upset.
Edit2: Did you guys not notice about the grayish Neptune and Battlerover too?? They are first time to be seen too.

lol


built the dontress OJR. now i HAVE 2 SPARE RUBBER CAPS for my battlerover! pics later...

If the troller really go combine live cats like that - I don't know what to say already about humans.
Worse than the microwave dog episode.


That's why need to know whether these were custom made or some special Academy Korea version.
Kacaulah your neighbour, bro Ahtiven. I'm sure can get full story about those Zoids in 20 minutes.
My thinking is those are custom-produced 1/24 Zoids. Otherwise how to get the greyish clear parts on Megatopros?
If not - wow, Lionel and WIKD probably going to go hunting in South Korea already.

@cryonic:
You're on ZP too, correct? I think if you search through OLD sales post, maybe can find some Zevle.
Not cheap though. SGD600/- for Zargam, I think it was. Don't QUOTE me!

hmm yeah i notice the color difference so i am with tekran here wanting more info~

@riderTEKRAN - i hve ZP ...but i need help to reset my acc... coz i lost my pass. and their notifications cant reach my emails..

Zelve on sale in ZP? damn i didnt know that!

Some other info you might find interesing about Zevle lines - it looks like they come with 2 unpainted, unassembled pilots each! Somebody go buy one and confirm, please.

So the unpainted pilots in that Korean site are probably from other Zevle's but I want to know more about their Megatopros! Funny though - if they can make their own clear pieces for the kit, how come there are no pictures of custom-made Zevle Sandspeeda?

i can confirm zelve has 2 unpainted pilots. i had someone send me pics of golgola MIB before it was sold.


i didnt manage to confirm if there was a zelve megatropos and sandspeeda until u showed me the megatropos zelve.

If you noticed, the last 2 posts in the website were asked by me; with the help of the Korean of course. Now it seems like a custom made with limited run of 20. And quite impossible to obtain now. Quite impressive to turn blue to clear isn't it? Hmm..

I so *Lol*.
Actually I just linked and looked at the pictures. Happy Lewis, eh? Make sure you update that info into Darwock's topic, okay? Sure Lionel and bro Ed go scout Yahoo! Korea now.

I don't fully understand the machine translation though. Does this mean that the clear pieces was made by TOMY also or some bleaching method? Wonder how they got TOMY to produce 20 pieces just for them? And with the box too! Most impressive.

@cryonic:
Based on the booklet of Zoids Graphics Volume 8 - Pteras, Sandspeeda, Megatopros or Shotwalker was NOT created for Zevle mass release. Only Bolide/Neptune and Landgallop/Battlerover for the Helic Republic.

Don't you want to try Yahoo! Japan for your missing 1/24 Zoids?

@rider -m sooooooooooooo its a mystery: 1/24 zelve mega, sand and shot...

yeah i did try yahoo auction jp and mandarake.... its bloody jacked up prices!

Thanks for sharing, cryonic.
I really don't remember why I never bought Deathpion in the 80s.
Does your OJR have the full canopy cover like the WAVE version?

From your collection, I'd say stick to completing the original 1/24 scale line before going to Zevle. Should be cheaper to do so, I feel. You can try writing to Lionel and AndiBcool at ZP, in case they have any for sale. I don't know if it will be any cheaper than Yahoo! Japan though.

====================

You guys think it would be cheaper to order TomyTec MSS Hammer Rock from Japanese site like HLJ, HobbySearch (about RM70, not yet postage) or preorder with local shop hobbynw.com (about RM108)?

XL-shop don't have it or even D-style Shield Liger for preorder yet. Wonder why?

NB: GWing hobby shop lists MSS Zoids will have Tampo printing. Meaning no stickers need to be applied?

Nice pictures.. really need to get them pilots, oh no my OCD?!

AmiAmi is cheaper otherwise I've been ordering from HLJ. That local store is pretty badass for calling RM148 on Dstyle Deathsaurer. lol

Otherwise I am surprised you are buying into these, too expensive for the simple build/mechanism.. but the diaromas they come with are pretty huge though. I am sure they will have extravagant box art/size/style too.

ah no i dont think the OJR deathpion has full cover like the WAVE ver. my deathpion is TDP btw.

the 2 neptunes, 1 is tdp 1 is ojr.
the battlerover- no hands.

yup i am trying to cover ojr first.

i found 1megatrops on YahooAJ, badly damaged, no bumpers, no pilot, no guns, and on off switch is damaged, its badly painted as well..
.. and i cant even win that bid. damn its that hard to get?

er.. how to write to lionel? i cant login ZP.

This post has been edited by cryonic: Oct 24 2012, 12:35 PM

Can write to Lionel using email at his website:

http://ultrasaurus.red.pagesperso-orange.fr/

Nothing much on his sales list at the moment though.

==============

I don't know why but MSS Hammer Rock starting to look okay with the chest beating pose.
With the small size, maybe I could turn it into an ape baby for Iron Kong Legends Blox?
Don't know if should wait for possible recolours. Tomytec follow TakaraTomy selling style, right? 1 Transformer mould must have more than 2 repaints?

I'm still holding onto the hope that the Rebirth line will continue in 2013. That would be a true Zoids 30th anniversary present for fans.

Bought a WAVE dontress here:

ebay

arrived in 2 weeks and was surprised the ems was only USD2.00, there's more for anyone interested.

Added on October 25, 2012, 2:27 pmi browsed lionel's site (coz i never fully browsed it) and found this pic:



this was exactly my first zoids way back then before i had the sandspeeda~ i had quite a lot and it only cost a mere Rm7 ea back then bundled in the bubblegum boxes, piled up with the Ding Dangs and Tora Tora boxes.

This post has been edited by cryonic: Oct 25 2012, 02:27 PM

someone will look for this

Nice 24s Cryonic. Good to know people are still passionate about classic zoids whether its reissue or not.

btw i am very happy that the Zoids TomyTec Pre Painted Action figure version will soon hit the market. Can't wait.

oh ya, you know i've packed all my zoids in those giantic plastic containers like 10 of them now. I stack the boxes up on a small wooden table and the leg broke. Fortunately no zoids was harmed. Didnt know it was so heavy until you restack them back on the floor.

@Ed > LOL your table leg broke? HAHAHAAAHAHAHAA

k i had someone translate the korean site:

MEGATROPOS LIMITED EDITION

The above link given, my friend says that is the limited edition of megatropos, there's only 20 in the world. all sold out. btw, i think i saw somewhere on that website, there is a zevle color megatropos but i cant find it and my internet is slow, loading that korean website takes me 10 minutes per page. Can anyone show me the link where there is a pic of megatropos with the zelve box? because i am still having some translation work in progress to get more info.

wow never seen it before. Need to know if it has a box of its own.
