I'm still impressed that you manage to find so much more! I'm guessing the OJR graphics are both absurdly rare, and expensive. What in particular do they contain?
The chrome Zoids and the warshark are also really cool to see. The warshark is not showing up very often!

The OJR Graphics pamphlets were the main source for Tomy's side of the Battle Story in the 80s (besides the brief overviews on the boxes). They had info on new/upcoming Zoids, several unique characters, and varying amounts of actual story. Momonga and Tilly have translated some of the more significant bits, including the only mentions of Elena (one of maybe three named female characters in the OJR) before the NJR/Rebirth Century. Sadly, they do indeed tend to be horribly rare and expensive - someone spent over $1000 on just four volumes a few months ago, and I think volume 6 alone went for over $500 back in April. I'm picking up cheap ones where I can, but I've only got three volumes in the last two years (and one of those was an unexpected bonus). If anyone here has any copies, please let me know  |

Nice grab, Falcarius! Were those rarer volumes in good shape? Those prices are nuts! A few more exciting arrivals over here!   Sorry for the glare but I was running out of patience... -_- Does anyone have any info on the blue Saber Tiger? The seller stated he assumed it was a knockoff from China. Judging by how it's built and packaged completely different, and the fact the blister card says "Side of the Republic," has me thinking he's probably right. |

The Saber Tiger's part of a set of three bootlegs seen here:  I remember someone from ZP had the liger and I've been after the Dibison (as well as a different, chrome bootleg bison) for a while with no luck. What's up with that Red Horn? Is the chrome fading or is the blue just bouncing the light funny? |

You happen to have a pic of the chrome bootleg Dibison you're talking about? The Red Horn is actually a teal repaint, no chrome. And it's much more green in person. |

And it's much more green in person. No I don't have a picture, but I sure wish I did! You know the Robotic Beasts? Well those four (Shield Liger, Dibison, Gungylado-arms-Gojulas and Dimetrodon-Redhorn-hybrid) use the same molds as four gloriously chromed Dyno-Rassic critters. "T-Rex" and "Dimetrodon" can be seen at Gojulas' Lair while "SaberToothed Tiger"(red-chrome LIGER) was listed on eBay years ago. But "Triceratops" the Dibison I have never seen a listing or picture of. If I ever had a "Holy Grail" of bootlegs, it'd be this guy. |

 I just won a Pterorayse off of Yahoo Japan through Jauce for 1700 yen. I wasn't really looking for it but I had always wanted one to complete my Rayse Tiger as it's one of my favorite Zoids. I'm pretty happy; I'll post pictures when it gets here! |

Here I am double posting. FINALLY won a Brastle for a decent price; 2000 yen. I plan on getting one more kit to make the shipping from Jauce to me worth the horrendous price ha ha. Since I sadly had to cancel the trip I was looking forward all year to I have a little money to spend anyway so...  |

My Mandarake grabs arrived today!  Checked the motors and box contents; motors work and everything seems to be there so I am pretty happy. The Heavy Arms Konig Wolf didn't come with it's DVD but that was stated in the description so I didn't really mind at all. I have my two Jauce orders that should be here soon as well. I'm excited to take some nice photos. |

O.o Does anyone have any info on the blue Saber Tiger? The seller stated he assumed it was a knockoff from China. Judging by how it's built and packaged completely different, and the fact the blister card says "Side of the Republic," has me thinking he's probably right. This blue Sabre Tiger is a bootleg, there was several other one sold at the same time, but it is the first time I'm seeing something else than a small Zoid. For the chromies, they seem to be all from Leo Shop (I have the IK and the Saicurtis, and I can assume there are very few of them existing), but... What is this glossy Blue Horn ? I don't know this one. Lionel |

Got a package today containing my Jauce wins; Brastle Tiger and Pterorayse.  Brastle's motor is in working order thankfully and came with the DVD; both are complete. I never knew that Brastle's red was so metallic looking I love it. |

Brastle (both colors) is one of my favorite kits. I love that deep red... like the red Energy Liger and Shield Liger Commander.

Another nice Grab, congratulation.
If you love the Brastle's red, I think you will love the Legend Blox Iron Kong MK-II too.

And it's much more green in person.
