Hello! I've joined as after years of moving my Zoid collection from house to house i'd like pass them on. I was directed here for your knowledge and enthusiasm for European Zoids. This my collection....  Any advice would be very gratefully received, it's sad but healthy to let them go. They were all bought by me in 80's and were built and played with. I looked after them and i think the vast majority are complete, with the original packaging (inc. frame and sticker sheet). I thought i'd list them on ebay, taking them apart and re-boxing them. I'll make a list in the sale section in case anyone here is interested first. Any advice would be very gratefully received, it's sad but healthy to let them go. |

Well, welcome aboard!
The very best thing to do with a collection like this is to ship it all to me.... But you can eBay them as a collection or as singles. If you are not pressed for time, I would go for single listings. My reasoning is that I would seek to fill holes in my collection, and I would routinely be disappointed that a single toy I needed was in a collection of 15 other kits I already own. I would say to research a bit before you opt on a price; price fairly and don't forget the shipping.
Either way, I hope you can part with your collection with some satisfaction... or just box it away until you can find a more permanent home!

Hi all,
Newcomer here who got introduced to Zoids during the Hasbro run and dropped off after that, though have kept up modeling through Gundam kits here and there. However my interest re-ignited after putting together a Gil Raptor... I've since gone back and dusted off all my old Zoids and am on a mission to fully restore them. Working on the first one now, an Elephander.
Location: California
Occupation: Freelance artist
Favorite Zoids: Theropods! And Iron Kong.

Heya, dchan!
Great to hear you've been rekindled! Yeah, some of the new designs really are well done, and we share some favorite models, to boot!

Thanks Maethius! This is probably common here but your works really inspired me, and it's amazing to see you've been making custom Zoids seemingly non-stop. I specifically remember through every word of your write-up for the Fusillade model-- it was (and still is) so impressive how resourcefully you incorporated common items like pens into a masterful work. Kind of surreal to be greeted here by you!

Thanks, dchan! I do hope to inspire with my work, and I hope to get more time in creating customs. Sorry my reply was so late, but our only bathroom is being remodeled and my family has been in a hotel for three days. Yes, they have wifi, but I haven't had opportunity to actually USE it!
As for my use of common items in my models, part of that came from necessity (model stuff is expensive!) and part of it was because I wanted innovative shapes in my designs that were difficult to track down, such as Storm Heron's legs being ballpoint pen parts. Rayse Tiger is a great customizer, too, and he has influenced me a lot with his great use of computer components.

Hey, everyone!!! I'm new to the forum. I've been a fan of Zoids since 2001. My favorite Zoids are Liger Zero, Raynos, Jet Falcon and Blade Liger.

Welcome, dmoobenstein!
Old and weird is cool around here! Do you remember your old name, perchance? I've been around here since dirt, so we probably bumped! In that case...
