That is a nice looking HMM Jager.
It's cute that you gave it painted fingernails.

Is that a 1/100 Gundam in the last pic with HMM Zero?
I didn't know the Bandai stand could hold the Liger so well.

Everytime I see HMM Wolf's cannons, I keep thinking "Samurai sword".
A cross-over anime movie with Zoids and Gundam would be awesome.


------------
Some interesting stuff is happening on the TakaraTomy Zoids website.
Either it's an extensive promo for the Concept Art books or we may be looking at the return of TT to Zoids fan-dom.

TakaraTomy Zoids

If they're coming out with model kits based on the Concept Art, I am so looking forward to it.
Here's Gojulas in protoform, I think.

Congratulations, cryonic.
I think from those 3, TDP Battlerover was the most difficult to find.
It never got sold locally around Selangor, K.L., right?

So when do you want to expand to TDP as a sub-line? Bloody Deathsaurer is waiting.

Ooh - Lightning Saix.
I'm waiting for good news if the new armour bits will be sold individually or not.

When you say the attack claws need to be cemented, does this mean for permanent display is only for one type of the claws? I wonder if Kotobukiya Saix also having this problem.

For the MSS Zoids - anyone know which shops are selling them locally?

Hey bro Morgenthau/C-Terahertz,

You were at the 2009 LYN Zoiders meet-up, weren't you?
Good to see you back on here again.

So far nothing new about motorised Zoids but poseable ones are still around.
Kotobukiya HMMs and D-styles, the Tomytec MSS Zoids and previously was the Revoltechs and Yamato.

What's the most prized Zoids model you have in your collection now?
I am so glad I was able to get the Rebirth King Gojulas.

Hello, stone_keat

Welcome to quiet Zoids town.
What to do? No Zoids in Malaysia mah. I kid, I kid.

Which types or kinds of Zoids are you looking for?

> Motorised Zoids? Easiest way is Online - eBay, Mudah, LYN market, etc.
> Kotobukiya HMMs or D-style model kits? I've seen some in toy shops around Selangor. Not all shops have them and stocks may be limited.
> Tomytec MSS 1/144 series? I don't know. I have not gone around to Berjaya Times Square area in a long time.
> Revoltech and Yamato Zoids? Online only, I think

Hey, all Otai Big-bosses - what are your latest hauls?
I only got myself a Rebirth Gul Tiger since I can't find Zeekdober or Tiga Godos.
Have not taken pics yet but here's what it looks like out of the box:



I love the concertina/boss-chair look.

From my scouting around Selangor/KL, I think Berjaya Times Square toy shops are best place to see stocks for Kotobukiya Zoids - both HMMs and D-styles.

XL-Shop, Time Machine, Graffiti Toys and that Gundam-friendly shops are all there.
Also there's that toy shop in Lowyat Plaza, forgot the name.

Too bad Jusco don't bring in HMMs anymore. I wonder what happened to the Schubaltz Tiger and MK-II Shield Liger at 1U couple years back?

Anyone haul the MSS Saber Tiger/Godos?
How are the parts list and instruction manuals like?

If TakTom does come up with a new anime/movie/webisode/whatever vid for the 30th anniversary, maybe all us Zoiders can have some midnight screening session or something.
Who's got a projector in their house?

So - TOMYTEC MSS Zoids - where to get IN Malaysia? Any walk-in shops selling these?
I'm seriously considering getting this little Mk-II.

NEW MOTORISED ZOIDS!
Okay - it's spring-powered but Aaargh - purple eyes!







How much is this and where can I order them?
I want this Fox so, so bad.

Anyone can read Japanese, please help.
Here's the product info link:
http://takaratomymall.jp/common/special/zoids/lineup01.html

Thanks, Khai62. That's mighty kind of you.

Pre-order price is only from that TakaraTomy site, then?
There goes my wish for this Zoids.
Even if that TT site ships out from Japan, I know nothing about how to go through the order process on that website.

I don't care how "rare" or "limited" or "special" Mirage Fox is, I refuse to go through idiot eBay scalpers for this preorder. Can you believe they're asking USD130++ per piece? 600% markup? Fuhgedaboudit.

I can only hope Mirage Fox will show up on Amazon.jp or Mandarake at a more reasonable price.

Anyone can share efficient but cheap proxy service to get the Mirage Fox at preorder prices?

In case anyone is even remotely interested *sigh*, here's the URL for a Japanese review of Mirage Fox. Big thanks to Darworck from ZP for the find.

- Monochrome box?
- RCZ style instruction pamphlet?
I'm okay with those but it would have been nice to get some promotional, catalogue-style "thing" too. I mean, this Zoids Original line is supposed to celebrate 30 years of Zoids. I want an A6 postercard of the boxart, please!

But - personal tirade aside - I am super-stoked at the return of motorised Zoids!

Is this the back pack for buster fuhrer where you place the batteries?
I've got none available, sorry since I forgot to buy Fuhrer before.

You want to try to make it remote controlled?
This video is for R/C Deathstinger but it may work with Fuhrer. Just modify the battery case a bit.

If there's no battery case then - I don't know. Hopefully some lurkers here can help.

Wheee!
Water diorama for 1/144 Tomytec MSS Sinker.
.

No one besides Edmaestro been buying these MSS, is it?
Maybe I should start with this then.

Genobreaker jet?
Congrats, Ed.
Can show the special parts on the sprue?

Which service people use to get mirage fox?

Noone want to talk here anymore?
Why-ah?

Anyway, for katak keluar tempurung like me, this is bittersweet news:

New Genoritter

Recommended Retail Price of Mirage Fox (2100 Yen) and Genoritter (5040 Yen).
Not yet shipping and handling cost!

Thank you for the hyperlink, Khai.

I wrote to the Singapore shop and they estimate shipping to be about SGD30 to M'sia, using DHL/FedEx. Apparently that is the only service they provide for international delivery.

So - spend RM300 for one Geno ritter or not?
Still undecided here.

For the new RobotLabs toys from TakaraTomy (both Zoids and Transformers will be upgraded with this), I think it is fully wireless RemoteControl.

I mean, come on, WowWee's Robosapien don't need wire. Why should this be any different?

@Edmaestro:
January 2014 release? That's good news - so many other toys to get.
The house is becoming like toy stock area already.
Really need a mansion.


For Zoiders who are ordering the HMM Firefox, guess what?
Chrome parts are being released!

Not sure if everyone has seen this but here's the next incarnation of Zoids!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYMWzCuDCno



It's using the technology from their i-SOBOT, I guess.
http://www.isobotrobot.com/leng/about/index.html
I'm thinking it could be remote controlled.
Scary to think how much this one will cost.

For Transformers fans, TT is also incorporating this technology into their Transformers line.

At least it will be a while before the full production type goes up for sale. Perhaps early next year?
Get those small-change ready, people!

Anyone know which shops in Klang Valley still have D-style Zoids?

I hope they bring in this little ape too.

D-スタイル アイアンコング (プラモデル)
http://www.1999.co.jp/10234803

Wow, Ed!
Super duper grabs and acquisitions, bro.
I am so jealous!

The normal Gairyuki Shin and Hayate Liger is still not in my stock room.
Those limiteds are going to a really good home, I'm sure.

By the way - where to get MSS Zoids in KL? Are they selling them in the BTS hobby shops already?

That's a pity about the MSS not being around for sale in KL or Selangor, bro Ed.

Are we the only two persons on here now? Where are all the Zoiders?

Anyone interested in getting the Command Wolf GRC?
If not, there's also the upcoming HMM Gojulas in Zoidzilla colours.
No price or release date, I think.
