@tayranno Wow that's an absolutely amazing grab assuming that it is indeed legit. Are you planning on building it or keeping it MIB?

I gotta build it. It needs to shine. Plus my house is way too small to keep my Zoids boxed!

My quest for the OER is going on ! It is not often that i find one, and this one made me wait a lot in front of my computer during the night, when I was waiting for him to appear :



As far as I can remember, the last time I saw one MIB, it was in... 1988, in shops.
Now, 6 left...

Congrats on the grab Lionel, that's gotta be an awesome feeling to get something you haven't seen in person in nearly 30 years.

Nice Grab everyone.

Lionel, that is a very nice Spinefin even the box look nice compare to it's age.

Thank you. It is so rare now to find a MIB Zoid that I don't have. Even a MIB Zoids at all, it is rare.
Now, there is still another hard model to find : Shield Tiger. The ORJ is easyer to find than the OER.

Here's a real small thing I picked up off of Ebay. I tend to pick up bootlegs that have a decently large difference to them or have something unique to them; like the camo Shield Liger and this little Bladey here with it's clear blue parts.



I know people have a wide arrange of feelings on bootlegs but I find some of them to be real neat. I'll post some photos and talk about quality when I get this cute thing together. If you like it; I paid about $11 for it free shipping and it got to me quickly. I'll link you to it if you send me a message!

Edit: Lionel FANTASTIC get; that's really something to see.

Woah 11 bucks! I don't own a single bootleg. Son of Mirage Liger with blue teeth and claws for lunch money doesn't sound too bad though. I'll be curious to see what it's like when you put it together.

My D-Style Blade Liger is a bootleg (I screwed up on Ebay, not regretting it though!) also made by STK, and the kit was surprisingly decent. Since I repainted mine I had to do a lot of work to make it better, but out of the box the bootlegs aren't half bad. I got mine for $5 with free shipping before the seller upped the price comparable to the real D-Style Koto kits.

spiralofvertigo : I have that liger too.. I bought it because I love those clear blue claws set

[rhasputin]

I have a small stash of those ligers, just for the clear parts. x)

[spiralofvertigo]

Yet another bootleg get; I have another get to show that is definitely not a bootleg that will hopefully be here soon to break this cycle ha ha..



This is the kit I got from aliexpress. I still don't really advise shopping there because of the credit card issues but..I got what I paid for at least ha ha..

[Maethius]

I've wondered about Ali, but I don't want to risk them without a good number of great reviews.

[spiralofvertigo]

I really had no trouble with the particular seller I bought from. They had a lot of positive ratings which is the only reason I went for it. The only thing I had an issue with is that the site wouldn't take my first credit card and I had to use a back up and it doesn't take paypal. They have a lot of buyer protection policies in place though which is nice.

[Maethius]

Thanks for the info, Spiral. One day I may take the plunge, but I'm still a little twitchy!
