hello all. I'm new to this forum. Didnt know LYN has Zoids Discussion. I collect zoids since the 80's now above 30 and married. Will post my collections later and some vintages as well.

Ahtiven yea.... oh by the way i got my goods from lowyat and litt tak they are the only place that has a range of zoids.

lol.

how come there's no local forum only for zoids?

I ask is because there isn't much zoids varieties at stores now. Every place i go to says the same thing over and over... people prefer Gundam. If i look at it in LYN itself, zoids hits and replies are at par with Gundam, but the spending power for Zoids isn't there. Hence shops won't take in more zoids because they think they have some stock left and takes 5 months for it to be sold. If it runs out like hot cakes, they will replenish with fresher zoids, they might even take in some limiteds for tease us zoids fan.

And the shops selling zoids aren't knowledgable enough to sell it to us. They always take in repetitive & new line of zoids like BLOX/NEOBLOX. (new doesn't mean people want to buy ma). Shopping complexes is worst 1 full top rack of blox..... zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Look at Gundam man.... everywhere got and full racks of them. Why? coz people is buying them alot. somemore they are more expensive yet no mobility.

I'm generally speaking here. Spend more on zoids people!

cheers

Not forcing la. giving motivation to buy only LOL.

Gundam & Transformer is popular i must admit. One of the reason was it's anime came out very early as compared to Zoids. with 5 fingers i can count zoids series. If im not mistaken Zoids anime only came out late 1999. If there were zoids anime from 1983 to 2007. Im sure people will buy them of commercial identification. When i ask shops got Zoids ar? They point me to Gundam! and ask me those izit???

I will definitely post my collection picture here, im getting a new shelf to place them. They have been hiding in the dark for quite some time. I still have like 5 new zoids which i have yet to assemble.

Keep zoids alive.

now i desperately need any DS and Mad Thunder. Please post confirmed sightings. thanks

ok ok thanks vincent.

yea those from Academy

Based on what I see when i do my purchase.

There are not many NJRs out there now. particularly the small or windup zoids. So those pteras, sinker, godos, guysack, storch, hellcats, cannon tortieses etc which u see commonly last few years in malaysia are facing mass extinction. I gone to websites that carry stock of these are stating that manufacturer has stop production since 2004. So those u see on shelfs are probably left overs. sometimes the boxes are badly damage from taking it out and putting it back in stocks. Sometimes you have to look between those blox zoids for them.

For the battery operated NJRs, not many out there even now these zoids are heavily sort at like DS, MT, US, Salamander, Gordos etc. Once this phase is out, you will only see at most 2 boxes at each hobby stores. You can forget about departmental stores carrying them. I can bet only 1 out of 10 have it.

What i can say now is The genesis line and blox line will still be in circulation as most of the departmental store & TRU sell which are mainly distributed by lit takk. The Mugen, Murasame & Hayate are hard to come by now though.

On the other hand the best places to get a variety of zoids which are not distributed by lit tak is in Low yatt and BTS. I already check with the owner they don't take it from lit tak. I remember Fantasy toy in Low Yat fella told me if it's from lit tak got small sticker that says distributed by lit tak. BTS timemachine owner said he goes overseas to buy them and ships them back based on what is demanded in Malaysia which includes MT which he sells for only RM100.

I wanna advise people buying in Lit tak shop in Sg. wang. You can get cheaper in departmental. I realised LT price is much higher and offer discount to attract customers. Knowing lit tak they are model kits focus and they can't throw 20%, 50% or 70% discount like the big departmental people. This is because departmental would already made the discounts back on other departments of their store, their turnover is millionssss. Think why harry potter selling in hypermarkets 69.90 where by bookseller focused sells it at 109.90. Because they need the margin. Hypermarkets can even if they only make RM1 because they know they can. Just wait for Lit Tak warehouse sale.

i can confirmed that they don't take from LT. I already spoke to the owner, he said LT don't have good margin. Most of theirs are Academy and at affordable price.

bad news guys. just got back from LT. fella that jaga the store said they are clearing zoids. I quote he said this "Sales for Zoids is bad, Litt Tak not taking anymore by end of this year". big size guy wear black t-shirt today.

Iron Kong for 49.90! The box condition quite bad, pealing on every corner. Last one man.... (ahtiven thanks for the heads up)
