Time to show off this season's grabs...  The most significant finds this time are probably Battle DVD (a collection of videos, music and story text from the first PlayStation game, plus the OJR Battle Video for good measure) and volume 5 of the OJR Graphics (spotted by kpstormie). There's also a bunch of magazine bonus items (pamphlets of customs, calendars, artboards, and a poster), a bunch of video games, a bunch of cards, the last Dengeki issue I needed from 1999, and a couple of obscure records. (The story behind the records: back in 1987, Chika released a single called "Suteki na Summer Boy", which was branded as a "Zoids image song" and used in the Shield Liger TV commercial. However, I recently found a page revealing that Chika's song is actually a cover of the original Suteki na Summer Boy, which was released two years earlier on Megumi Hayakawa's album Cinderella Syndrome. Something feels a little off about using an (undeclared) cover as an "image song"...) On the far right are a Blade Hawk, an overgunned custom Command Wolf (I got it for the bonus booklet that was in the same lot), a Masterpiece Saber Tiger (very nice kit, and the snarling face isn't as silly as it looks in photos), and Resident Evil Biohazard Zero (which came with one of the game lots, along with two spare HAKW DVDs - anyone want one?). I'm starting to run out of media to collect by now. I have nearly all the (Japanese) Zoids books, videos and music, and most of the games. I'm definitely not going to try for complete sets of magazines, cards or toy lines - that way lies madness  So once I pick up the NES, PS1 and 360 games, I'll have pretty much run out of media that isn't horribly rare and/or expensive... (Sadly, almost all the English media falls into the "horribly expensive" category.) This is truely a big lot with so much cool zoids materials! remembers me to complete zoids versus 2 on gamecube! |

That is such a cool collection of media stuff! I've always loved the peripheral things like that, especially things with weird backstories like that single!

Ayyye, great finds, you guys! When Falc mentioned that song, I thought of Summerboy by Lady Gaga. This is the only new thing I've gotten recently:  Actually my only Wolf since my blue one is RIP. I've heard that this one has mold issues, really hoping it goes okay because this is easily my favorite color for a Command Wolf! And yes, that hat and jacket are always in the background, except now because I'm wearing them |

Snarl face liger I found it didn't look so silly either, I like it, my one is always on display as snarl face , makes it different from the rest. What exactly are in those zoids battle calendars may I ask? Also,those HAKW dvd's , I'll happily take one if you're offering ,(Am probably the only one here it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to post to). |

I would love to see a better picture of that Command Wolf. I am painting/customizing mine right now and I need some ideas. If you need, I have a Robostrux comic and some sort of English promotional material from Hasbro. If you are looking to add to your archive, they are yours. PM me. Here you go: i67.tinypic.com/2lpc2o.jpgi63.tinypic.com/9tczmp.jpgi65.tinypic.com/s67p53.jpgIt's not exactly the best custom I've seen (plus the Irvine rifle is broken off), but some parts are pretty cool. Definitely curious about the Robostrux comic. Is it this one, or something I haven't come across? Snarl face liger I found it didn't look so silly either, I like it, my one is always on display as snarl face , makes it different from the rest. What exactly are in those zoids battle calendars may I ask? Also,those HAKW dvd's , I'll happily take one if you're offering ,(Am probably the only one here it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to post to). Sure, just PM me an address. I also have a couple of spare Battle Story books, if you're interested. As for the calendars, they're little 6-month ones with pics of the manga characters and model box art. This page has about half the pages scanned, to give you a better idea. |

Will do so now, Battle story book/s Hell yea I'd like that! Thanks! ! Hah Those calendars are so neat, Would have loved one in the year 2000! Though sure I'd be scared to draw on it...actually, not even sure I knew of zoids in that year, scary. |

Nice! I especially love the deadly kong with the arm-claw thing, that's gotta be on my list sooner or later. Pinkie-liger's pretty rad, too!

Like to see them all look great together.
And Bamburian, I'm very sorry to you, I accidentally miss a part and now you are incomplete. I will send that missing part to ericmd next time so he can put the missing part on you.

Got this from ebay for $12, plus I got a $6 refund from shipping. No dvd, no manual but the kit is complete.  |

This is a nice price for a Rayse Tiger, even it missing a manual and DVD, it is still a nice kit.

My package arrived from the amazing Gojulas Omega! I have been waiting for these for sooo long! First, my CP-03 Beam Gatling  Been wanting this for so long! My Dark Horn has looked naked without it. The second, my new Elephander!  I can finally say I own all 3 versions of the Elephander! I love this Zoid. I can't recommend it enough! Another zoid to recommend, the Spinosapper!  An amazing zoid with surprising versatility. The fact is was used as a construction zoid always fascinated me. Speaking of fascinating, the CP-07 cannonry unit  I love it on my Bonesaurer. I wanna photograph all of my variants. Which leads me to.... The last, but certainly not least, part I got. The backpack from the Genobreaker Jet!!!  This is my holy grail part! I now have a black Breaker! Sorry for the pic-heavy post. Just super excited! |
