At least you cam buy wave 2 Zoids where you are. But I'm going to keep my eye on these Zoids and see if its a growing trend, I've noticed a load of Hasbro large wind ups on eBay Mostly Black Rhimos and Command Wolf Irvine on eBay for about £6.99.

I guess people buy them up at £4 and stick them on eBay for a profit.

I guess thats because they dont exactly share the community spirit that a message board about Zoids does.

Wait, do you mean to say that you don't get any wave 2's? They're scarce here after Christmas, but none at all? Ouch.

I'm actually going shopping to Blackpool this afternoon. If you want I'll pick you up a black Rhimos if I can, and send me a cheque for £4 + postage, I'll send you a Rhimos(PM me with your email address)

No thanks, I have several Black Rhimos's, but if there's a Warshark i'd be very interested. Perhaps we could do a trade?

Firstly I'm rubbish at posting on forums so I didn't know how to paste quotes like everybody else, so I'm afraid thats the best I could do.
Secondly, in answer to your question all I've ever seen generally is Storm Sworder, although yesterday was a bit of a coup because I found Gustav(which I'd been looking for, for months) and Zabat(which I'd never seen anywhere before). But its a difficult question to answer because up until 3 months ago I was a purist with my Zoids and only really considered European release 1 as true Zoids, and never really noticed them in shops. This has slowly but surely changed.

Ah, I get ya. Seems different parts of the UK get different things. I have Gustavs warming the shelves everywhere I go, there are even special three packs of Gustav, S.Liger and C. Wolf -or- Gustav, Z. Fang and Hel Digunner for £30.

I can't believe it! If I told you how hard it was to find Hel Digunner, Zaber Fang and Shield Liger, basically all you can get on shelves now its, Molga, command Wolf Irvine and Gordosaur, not counting the Hasbro Black Rhimos. Anyway Im always up for a bit of Zoid trade, and Euro release 1 parts exchange, I have a lot of half built release 1 Zoids.

That's odd, there aren't many Molgas around here, but loads of the other basics. Heh! Anyway, a tip. Do you have a new Blade Liger? If you do, and it has the plastic claws, send an e-mail to Tomy saying that your Liger came with no metal paws/teeth. They send a set of metal parts off for free!

As you can imagime, I don't have a blade Liger, ha! I've never even seen a Blade Liger, but I think Gizmo Guru.com might be able to deal with that. Iwill bear that tip in mind though, do they just send the feet or extra metal parts?

They send the four feet and the teeth. I think you can do the same for DiBison's metal hooves and horns.

Tomy UK's Zoids website can be described as sparse at best really,with not a great deal of info, in fact it doesn't seem to have been updated for quite a while. Gizmo Guru.com does Japanese Imports, but do you(or anybody) know any sites that import from America?
