Any UK Zoids fans out there?

[Kris]

Just wondering, because all the NR Zoid action seems to be going on in the US, with only a basic line-up of NR Zoids here(we had loads of Zoids here in the '80s) and the NR Zoids don't seem to have made much of an impression here unfortunately.
Also if there's anyone out there with any advice on how and where to get NAR and NJR Zoids in England(apart from eBay UK which is really sporadic)it would be massively appreciated.

hi i`am in the uk. ;D
huge fan of zoids. ;D
love um .
got most of the range. ;D

look on gizmo guru for NJR.
it might be pricey but it is easier than paying import tax.

I'm a UK fan. A big fan. ;D
If you look around in some shops a bit, some of the Sci Fi or Anime stores have a couple of import Zoids, I picked up a red blade liger and a Lightning Saix (before it was released).
Zoids have been selling really well over here in Norwich, if you check my post in the modelkits section under 'UK Zoids Wave 3 is out' you can see Tomy already has several further waves planned. I think they'll be around a bit longer yet!

the line of zoids in the uk is crap, not the zoid just the lack of them, i seems like with most things relatet to anime the uk is in the dark ages

[Andy F²]

Give it time. America only has such a huge range because they have been out for so long over there.

[ROss]

zoids has been on sky one for over 3 years, and the have only now started to sell zoids here, it'll take about 7 years before we get the same range as anywhere else

[ROss]

gizmo guru is extrtionate £37 ($65) for a liger zero excluding postage and packing, it is cheaper to buy it from the states or japan and ship it over

[Andy F²]

Probably cheaper to import if you can get it off eBay. If you want to wait it's coming out over here in a few months and retails at £14.99.

the one i really want is konig wolf (mainly coz it looks like my dog-its a wolf too) i was gonna get it from zoidscore.com, coz i heard that it was still doing the heavy arms version, but i can't read japanese, plus my maw kept yabering on about how much it was to get sumthing from japan to scotland .

[Andy F²]

Zoidscore doesn't ship to the UK anyway. It's a shame because they have some nice stuff.

the most recent zoid out in the uk is the geno saurer which shows how far behind we are.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've looked at Gizmo-Guru, which seems OK but as stated earlier, is expensive.(also doesnt have any of the NAR/NJR Zoids on it I had in mind)
Is it me though or are wave 2 Zoids incredibly hard to find, I'm not actually talking about online, but in the shops.
Also has anyone seen any of those Hasbro large wind ups in clearance shops for £4 each? (unfortunately the only choices are Command wolf Irvine and Black Rhimos).

Spinosapper? Storm Sworder?

WAH? Where?

[Kris]

Ok, you can get them in quite a few places where I live near: Blackpool and Preston, the shops are those sort of clearance type shops that aren't quite total cheap shops but have lines of previous years stock, for example(and this in no way reflects my interest in it)Digimon and unpopular lego lines really cheap, the shop in Blackpool is called Half price or less.com and the shop in Preston is called home bargains.
