if they are going to do a HMM Gojulas, i will sell my soul for one!

wait, what if they come out with hmm gojulas ogre, hmm gojulas mariner, hmm gojulas mkii, hmm gojulas forest, etc etc???!!!!

but i have only one soul!!!!

hahaha, just kidding!

@Xnyhc73: nice blog, i remember i visited long time ago. but no zoids in sight.

i would recommend HLJ as well, superb customer service, superb packaging, superb fast service. with all these three 'superbs', one would not mind paying a lil extra though. or else it will end up like Morgen's wolf ac box.

Service... It's good, after you're done prodding them one or two times.

I bought the CW AC from Play Asia and it came with free shipping so I guess you get what you pay.

hi guys,

congrats for reaching v3.

i really like the EZ-016 Saber Tiger Schwartz Ver. thinking of buyin 1, but the shop selling at rm270. izit worth it?
scared got cheated by the shop owner ..

Since im more a gundam fan... saw this Saber Tiger Schwartz when shopping for gundam's xD.. how bout the quality of it? same like gundam "master grade" ?

tq.

hi there, I bought a lot more cheaper , it depends where you buy. Honestly, Rm270 is rather too high liao...If I were you, I will pay extra for the new Geno Breaker.

The one I am building is red saber tiger, Honestly, the plastic is not so good, very fragile. You need to handle carefully, especially asemble it....Take note. However, It is fun to do the assemble. You will NOT regret buying it.

Previously I do Gundam models, now I change direction. however, I still do Gundam, just that not much liao..this year planning is HMM zoids. maybe next year for Gundam, BB Gundam only, not thinking about MG or HG. Just plan only cos budget constrain.

The plastic is not as bad as everyone thinks. I've build many HMMs and i vouch no plastic has ever got broken and final result is more than satisfying. Kotobukiya has never failed us on quality assurance for high end model kits.

I'm selling my MIB Sabre Schwartz, see my sales list.

from my understanding, for HMM Zoids you need to paint and glue , just like the gundam model ?
Am I correct ? If so, how long for newbies like me will complete a zoid

HMM is glue free and paint free, unless stated.

If the box says 15 years and above, it should not be a problem for 15 years and above. Most like what u will endure on your first HMM would be finger tip sores and eye blurriness cos the parts are VERY small. There is no timeline as to how long it should be completed. It's all about passion of building a zoid and bringgin it to life.

Added on March 19, 2009, 3:43 pmSorry Brother Ed, I dont agree with you. Bandai plastic is better than KOTO. this is because I have done many of Gundam models and I do know about it, I have friends in Penang also break some small small parts in saber tiger.

Well, the story is like that, KOTO brand is in Japan, the designer is from Japan, but the moulding is in China. The quality is not so good compare to Bandai. Bandai is fully from Japan.

Hi faizzaki, the glue is not use. dont worry. However, if that parts doesn't fit well, then you have no choice but to use it. I am still my red Saber tiger.

Pro : Zoids model is good : well design and very detail. I like compare to Gundam. they even have very small parts that need to assemble.

Cons : plastic is not so good compare to Bandai. Bandai is using engineering plastic material. I have done PG/MG Gundam, and the plastic is better.

Gundam76, no doubt that Bandai plastic is better (i've heard). But if you read what i wrote I never did compare it with Bandai's plastic quality or I mentioning that is best of all plastics. I'm just saying that it's not true that it is as bad as what people say about koto plastics.

And yea plastic break is sometimes unavoidable. People like me use feather like strength to assemble, unlike some people with King G strength to assemble kits.

Btw, avaultz PM you my price!

so which 1 is better actually?

Kotobukiya or takara?

what the diff between this 2 company?

This post has been edited by avaultz: Mar 19 2009, 04:04 PM

yes, Ed...

Actually what Ed said is true....The plastic is not as bad as what people said, cos the Japanese people got quality control. You dont have to worry about breaking it, any plastic material is not handle properly will also end up breaking. NOt only Koto but also Bandai as well.

However, I do know the new Geno Breaker, the plastic material is a lot more improvement. If anyone have it, try notice the red parts, got some things like shinning and a bit looks like oilly, ahhh... that one is good plastic. I think ED has finish it, he should know better.

Dont worry about breaking it. you will not regret for HMM model you buy.Nowadays the quality has been improve compare many years ago.

if you are looking into HMM, they are the same. It's just recently Takara paid some money to Koto for branding it under Takara Tomy HMM. That is why since Shield Liger Leon the box has Takara Tomy Logo.

Ok guy just did some new stuff today, finished the leg and power caps.

hi morgenthau,

May I know what type of compressor you are using ?? how big the saiz ?? 1/8 hp ?? got tank or not ?? I want to look for 1 at home to do, instead going to workshop to do.

Looking at those old school pics brought a tear to my eye. I was into Zoids before I got into gunpla....Which kid couldn't resist mechanized dinosaurs?
