Well the HMM model kit costs a lot less than the regular Canon version annoyingly! LOL. To be honest I never really think of my collections in that way, I just like the designs, materials and engineering involved but I don't play games as I'm useless and it's hard to build with both hands on a joystick or even throwing dice! ;-)

Eh, real world artillery needs to be towed into place and then manned by on-the-ground infantry. Buster Tortoise accomplishes the same thing as a self-mobile unit requiring only a single pilot with the benefit of heavy armor that can probably withstand a few hits. Seems like a pretty decent unit to me, you can't have every Zoid be a high mobility Command wolf. You certainly wouldn't want to have one by itself all alone on a battlefield, sure, but that's why it's a support unit, not a front-line unit.

I'd feel better if it had a light vulcan or 2 for anti infantry or anti missle defense, but yeah, it's a support unit, I just think it needs some stuff for close in defense

It's a cool model with a nicely done paintjob aceoftherebellion, good job! =)

Built CHimera Dragon! And with the pile of parts left over there's no way I'd ever fuse on or near the battle field, I'd pre assemble the zoid at a base.

Did you acquire these blox from Gojulas Omega? I always saw the listings on Omega's thread, but they were on hold for a VERY VERY long time. I'll admit, I was frustrated at their seeming availability but being just out of reach...

I'm sorry to cause you grief I meant to pay for them in september but my parents blew all my SSI money at the casino so I had to wait an entire month. If it helps, they are all very good zoids, I think demon's Head is kinda stale being all melee but they all seem to ahve extra little weapons or details on them. But yeah, all those zoids on hold were mine, only reason I think he held them so long is because I had given him 40 bucks to reserve them, and he seemed to be getting frustrated, and i can't blame him. If not for my parents I'd be 100+ bucks closer to a Goj Ogre HMM.

40 bucks to reserve? Wow, alright, lol! Now, I don't mean to pry, but how come your parents have so much influence in your budget? I'd think that you, being an adult, would be able to control your funds more freely than someone at my age...
I know your pain, though, because I don't have a job, and my funds come from my father and any gifts from other relatives/friends. However, my dad is always watchful over what gifts I can or cannot take, and will "politely" deny some FOR me- cutting me off from future purchases! Lots of plans have gone down the drain because of this...

Yes, Z2 Red WIng, but it's Red CHROME and awesome gold stickers, i want that one and a black and genesis redler one day. I'm going to get a regular one to convert to a Bloodler, I can actually use the part the wings go in that holds them on the back (fixed, not part of flapping mechanic and part of the back halves) to mount a modified F22 fuselage, and the legs will still be able to walk.
Oh there's also a Playstation Redler that's the same as the '86 version but the smoke is more black colored than the medium grey of the '86 version. Not really much of a limited version if you ask me, since the Z2 redwing looks so much better
