Hello Again, Everyone!

[zoisceit]

I was registered here about a decade ago as Argyle (wow, it feels weird to type that). However, I don’t remember my password, and I lost access to my college e-mail account.

I’ve recently put together the wall of Detolfs that my wife has allowed to grace our family room. Admittedly, it’s mostly Gunpla, but I’ve a soft spot for the three HMMs currently displayed (Liger Zero Jäger, Berserk Führer, and König Wolf). Currently, Liger Zero X remains unbuilt and Kotous has no delivery date for my Heavy Arms König Wolf preorder (if it ever comes).

After much debate on what I want for Christmas, I decided on the one Zoid I somehow never procured… the Death Saurer. I watched a few episodes of Chaotic Century and a few Youtube videos. These reminded me of how amazing the motorized kits were/are. I appreciate the detail of the HMM kits; I remember wanting them so much over a decade ago. Yet the older I get, the more I long for the nostalgic, motorized builds from my childhood.

So this leads us to today, hoping that I scored the Death Saurer on Mandarake and wound up reminiscing about this forum!

Hope you didn’t mind reading the above. Cheers to being back.

Welcome back! Glad to see I'm not the only retread on the forum. I too ended that email existence and didn't recall if I added any upper a lower case to password. I tried a few then opted for a fresh start. A new contact has reinvigorated my zoider dreams and now making them reality. I'm a very old school zoider, now pushing 60, and have been collecting 38 years now. Still not completed.

Hello, Zoiseit! I believe I remember Argyle from back in the day (when dinosaurs roamed the earth and were not yet hydraulic!) Its always great to see old faces pop back up, and its always welcome to remember the old times. Glad you're here!

[Zoidstar]

Welcome back! It's always good to see members return to the forums! We're not as active as we were in the halcyon days of Zoiding on the internet, but we're also not completely dead! LOL!

[zoisceit]

Thanks all for the warm welcome back!

[Maethius]

Perhaps, one day, we'll even see the return of the annual Pheno Custom Contest? ^_^

^ Dreams!

Welcome back Argyle. I sold off a good amount of my collection before grad school & have maybe 10 unbuilt kits left that I plan on keeping. Pulled out Hasbro's Energy Liger just to feel something. I'm not sure I even remember what hand paints I used to use, it feels like it's been THAT long.

Well, the Zoids Poison does stay in your system for life! I'll probably be 94 years old and pass on due to a heart attack when I lose a tiny piece under my desk. I haven't bought a kit in years, but the new AZ-07 Death Saurer is on my list!

HAHA I feel that, it's definitely on mine too. I have BDS I bought here years ago that I need to put back together. Love love love DS.

[Maethius]

Waited so long for an actual improved, new mold DS... I was really close to beginning my own custom on one I have!

Hello again! I also rejoined forum, never left zoids.

AZ are a quite interesting approach. Does these stand for Anniversary ZOIDS?
As I can see they are like motorized HMMs

Welcome back!

[Maethius]

Hi, Ernestotaku! Welcome back!

I think AZ does... but certainly they are akin to a masterpiece version of the bat-op product line.

Welcome back! It's good to see you're still around~
AZ stands for Anniversary Zoid, yeah. Have been really enjoying them.
