This is just a rumour I heard, so I don't know if it belongs here, (please move/delete as applicable), but, my Mum was taking to a guy who works for Toy Master and at a UK toy fair earlier this year, there were apparently plans to release four Zoids to the UK.
I don't know which Zoids, I don't know when and, as yet, I've been unable to find any info or pictures, but I felt I should bring it up, in the hopes that somebody might be able to comfirm or refute this.

Interesting. It seems a bit odd that Tomy would start a new lineup with only 4 Zoids but it's possible nonetheless, hopefully we'll get some more news soon!

I thought so myself... I even checked with Mum to make sure the guy was definitely talking about Zoids and not Zords, but she was adament he knew it was Zoids she meant.
If it is true, then maybe it's a promotional thing, or even a Toymaster exclusive... wish I'd been there when she'd spoken to him so I could poke for more info!

Forbidden Planet has just listed Gordos, Deathsaurer, Genosaurer and Genobreaker on their website. I don't know if they're just Japanese imports but it would be nice if we were to get our own version of the 25th Anniversary Zoids over here.  |

Oooh! I've just checked there too! It's interesting to note that Death Saurer's picture is actually a Bloody Deathy, and Geno Breaker's is actually a Gun Sniper with Wild Weasel!  Also, the "Geno Breaker" is not listed as a pre-order, like the other three are... I'm heading down to London in November. I think I'm gonna be too early for the release, but if no more info has shown up by then, I shall ask around in FB while I'm there! |

Hmm, maybe l shud poke around my local FB store, would'nt mind a Bloody Deathsaurer lol, though l'm less than optimistic, does seem like a really odd choice of zoids.

Could be they just used the first pictures they found for the Zoids (on Google)? I think I see a watermark edited out on the Geno Saurer, and the Breaker's is obviously wrong as mentioned.

Ya, but you never know what might be round the corner  After all, the NER line was the third line of Zoids Tomy released in the UK. I could be wrong, but to be honest, I find it wierd that FB would have a pre-order date for an import item. Guess we'll find out on the 30th November... |
