Nah, I just built the Souga before I got around to taking the picture. I am a little worried about the scar sticker, but it seems to be holding its shape well for now. The Generations booklet is just a summary of the story/characters/Zoids up to chapter 4 (plus ads for all the other Zoids models/merchandise coming out at that time), so it doesn't really have much content that isn't in Dengeki Hobby or the Generations book. The descriptions are written from Raetelme's point of view, though, which is an interesting touch. Oh, and as for the colouring book art, it looks like this. I got it and the CD more for "content I don't have" rather than "content that's important to the franchise"  |

Finally, got some new stuff arrive from Japan. These are "complete".  However, beside Death Stinger ZS, Brastle Tiger and Green Horn, the rest are having problem about "sunburn". (Seismosaurus also has problem about it's body/motor block, right now, it's head and tail won't turn) These are missing something or broken parts....  Something make me feel very sad is the Liger Red Hiou, it's only missing 2 pieces, one is tail gun that I did replace it with the Liger Zero X one. Another one is a small clear armor from it's back leg ....  |

Forgot to post that I snagged a ZS as well. It is such a pretty kit.
How are the Delcato Dragon and Genesis kits (Soul Tiger, Rainbow Jerk, Lanstag, etc)? I am still very on the fence about investing in those.
Even though it is incomplete, very jelous of your Hiou. I just found out I lost one of the fins to my Buster Eagle Holotech, so I feel your pain.

Liger Zeros are such infamous parts-shedders around the legs.. it's so hard to tell if anything's missing, which is both good and bad.
As for your seismo, IIRC that mechanism is literally a string on a pulley, so the string has probably snapped or rotted and needs replacing

(Seismosaurus also has problem about it's body/motor block, right now, it's head and tail won't turn) I had the same issue with a Seismosaurus I bought along time back. I just had to fix the way the pulley system was set up, the original builder had it just slightly off. |

I am still very on the fence about investing in those. Even though it is incomplete, very jelous of your Hiou. I just found out I lost one of the fins to my Buster Eagle Holotech, so I feel your pain. For the Delcato Dragon, it's missing the 1 of the blade/horn like thing on the head and 2 arms when it is in Death Raser mode(that will place on the wing tips when it is in Dragon mode). For the Genesis Kit, they all has series sunburn problem. Like the Lancetag Break, most of the plastic are very easy to crack now...and Soul Tiger, Rainbow Jerk and Bio Raptor Gui, has missing parts too. I feel sorry to hear that your Buster Eagle Holotech has missing part too. Is that the one sitting on both side of the neck? If that so, I'm sure someday someone will help you to complete it. Liger Zeros are such infamous parts-shedders around the legs.. it's so hard to tell if anything's missing, which is both good and bad.

I just had to fix the way the pulley system was set up, the original builder had it just slightly off. That's why I'm taking that small armor from the other side from the Liger Red Hiou at this moment. Hope someday I can find another junk one or that armor part. I kind of know the string is the one causing the problem too(I did open another Seismo motor block before), hope I still remember how to fix it and get it back to work later. |

Congratz for those great haul  truly a sad moment when you get incomplete zoids with just one or two small part lost (and you can't replace it  ) |

 A small but significant haul this month. On the bottom is an issue of Hobby Japan spinoff magazine Uchusen (plus a bonus booklet that came with it), which contains an article about a 6-minute live-action Zoids film by Kouichi Kawakita that sadly never saw the light of day. On the top is Zoids Alternative (getting close to completing my game collection!) - and more importantly, four more issues of the OJR Graphics (back when they were called "Zoids Data - Hobby News"). I'm particularly happy to have volume 1, since it's one of the very first sources of Battle Story information, including a Zoid evolutionary chart and an account of the Globally III crash. |

When I saw the OJR Graphics on Yahoo Japan I knew you'd be the one to get these! Glad to see where they ended up~ Nice obscurities overall~

Imgur is the go-to image hosting site nowadays. The rest kind of faded away into obscurity.

Update My hunting result after 3 month silent  Just 3 zoids this time.. I'm very lucky to get this MIB-tattered Iguana for cheap, since I only have one incomplete OJR.. I've been trying to completing her part, but never get ANY part for her in the past 5 years, so can you feel how happy I'am, when I got this MIB now, those incomplete one can rest as parts for sale  Next One is BT Gold Saber.. I need her CP-02 to complete my HMM Saber Tiger  Last One is a MISB Crimson Horn (Her box is comparable with Gold Saber).. I've been looking for her since her release at (2008?) and wondering how those new arms works.. and.. Woow, After read the manual, those new parts quite complex to build.. and I love her more.. well, despite her red color option of course :: Now I'm using imgur as my photo pool.. my photobucket kinda.. well.. troubled |
