It took FedEx four days from when the package arrived in the country to ultimately send this in the mail (I'm not frickin' kiddin' - FedEx used the post office to get this to me because they couldn't get it done themselves), but it's finally here.   What am I lookin at here exactly? Also nice Molga, superdroid. Robo Strux had some nice colors. |

Just re-watched the review of this recently. It's a Duel Masters White Dragon. Now planning on getting one even though it is expensive.

Yep, that's the Duel Masters White Dragon, and here's my review if you'll excuse the shameless plug - youtu.be/G3LEzXnZSCEI still think it's kind of a mixed bag, but I'm glad I got one. |

I have a Xenorex Storm XA on the way. I plan to swap parts with my XR Buster XA to get an actual unified colour scheme. I also think I'll make this one a tandem cockpit. In retrospect the single one just seems lazy. An dammit, I want to get those wings to move.
Sigh. This is what gets me into trouble.

Kabaya gilly and orudus arrived today. As I was stating in another thread 7 days since win. Went right to work repairing the few minor damages and put them together. I have 1 left over piece with no clue to where on earth it goes. I've examined the full size ones for hints yet nothing sticks out as missing. The last 2 pics will be of that piece. If any sharper eyes can clue me in. The rest will be pics of them and a pic with 2 of my built gillies with the mini. Anyway glad my kabaya gunny has some new friends.   This piece look familiar... is that a piece under Gil's neck?(the one that near the head) |

I thought it might be on the back side of the neck but couldn't get it to attach in any way. There is a piece sort of similar in that place on the regular size model. Maybe I'll try again. The way the back side of that piece is designed it almost apeared that it would swivel open. None of the regular model pieces swivel. So that threw me as well. But yes the neck was where I was thinking it belonged. Thank you for your skills of observation.

I was trying to fit it on the back of the neck just under the vertical saw blades but it wasn't fitting onto the plastic nub there. I don't know why I never saw the blank space on the front. Thanks! It is all together now. |

Yup- that's the throat piece.

Call me crazy, but I have a weakness for shipping boxes that the zoids came in. That being said. I stuck a deal for this really beat up Robostrux era shipping box complete with all contents.    whats the story? How did you get a shipping container full of those nameless limited edition Robostrux Glidoler? |

whats the story? How did you get a shipping container full of those nameless limited edition Robostrux Glidoler? Well it was in ebay, in fact still is because he has more than 1. I messaged him a few times. He reponded. I threw a few lowball bids which were rejected. He wanted over 400 plus shipping. I offered 200. I relisted 3 times still no buyers. Finally he posted it with a buy it now of my offer. I snagged it within a half hour of posting. Messaged him thanking them for working with me. Then I noticed it was in my watch list still and under a different seller name. So I messaged asking how can it be for sale when it is in my collection already. He replied that he has more than 1 but the box is worse shape than mine. I asked for pics but he has yet to oblige. Anyway yeah a whole box full of em. Btw interesting story is that Tomy put it out to obtain the RoboStrux name. Notice the date on them 1981. Robostrux was 1985 and 1986. So I feel lucky to have any Robostrux line boxes. I have 1 Technozoids shipping box and 2 zoids reboot era shipping boxes. Quirky I know but stuff like that normally gets tossed out thus making it the rarest of items to obtain! |

He contacted me. The next one is up and listed. Actually it is in better condition than mine from the looks of it. Sadly my budget is ruined for a bit and I have to behave myself. I am however watching intently. Ebay item number 266209321906 or just search Robostrux for the latest listing. Again he is up over that 400 mark. 5 weeks or so it will likely be another buy it now and forcing me to have 2 boxes full of em.

That's a pretty cool grab. I was watching one myself on eBay (might've even been the same one), but ultimately wound up skipping it since the HMM Ogre was due to be shipped out soon, and I've got a couple of those guys already.
