 Ignoring the miserable photo quality, these are my two recent grabs. I put in a few bids on those really cheap Zoids that popped up on YJ and won the Diloforce. Its box is in really nice condition, and I can't wait to build it~ The other is a card folder for the BCG. I got it for the Liger art and was really surprised to see how big it was. I don't know why I thought it'd be smaller, given the card pages, but in my head it just wasn't that big. Very nice, crisp art. |

 It took me 16 years to finally buy one. It was worth the wait. Also this is game #1 of my run for the full collection of games released in Japan. Time to do some Ebay buying. |

Good luck  None of the Japanese console games should be hugely hard to find (at least not if you use Yahoo Auctions), although MIB copies might be a different story. I'd say Densetsu is probably the rarest, and Zoids 2: Helic Republic vs Guylos Empire is the most expensive. However, once you get into non-console games, things get a lot harder. I'm assuming you aren't counting the arcade games (all discontinued), mobile games (all dead except for Field of Rebellion), Online Wars (also dead), or unofficial games (such as the Zoidon series). But that still leaves you with the standalone LCD games (Zoids Gear, Battle Blox, and Gil Vader vs Orudios) and maybe the physically-released PC games ( Battle of the Central Continent for MSX2 and that one floppy disk with a couple of minigames). GVvO and the floppy disk are extremely rare (I still haven't found the latter), so... have fun >_> (Also, let me know if you spot any of the non-Japanese games for cheap, because the only one I've got so far is the Spectrum version of The Battle Begins.) |

Gonna be breaking it down by consoles first, so my first hunt is most likely going to be the releases on Nintendo handhelds over the years. I'll work into Famicom, Gamecube, and the others as time goes on. As far as the LCDs...I'll pick up what I can! It's going to be a long, long process. |

My latest haul is here, and it's a good one...  Firstly, that's five new OJR Graphics volumes (plus a spare of 8), which brings me up to 17 out of 22 (I still need 3, 12, 13, 15 and 18). Secondly, I managed to nab the Iron Bible and the Blox Creation Chapter from a flea-market site called Mercari, completing my set of mailaway-prize DVDs. I also got the 10th Anniversary Shieldy and the DVD from the Iron Kong SS (from Ceil) to go with the one from the Anime Encyclopedia... so now I just need Rayse Tiger, Brastle Tiger and D.A. Lizards, and I think I'll have all the physically-released promo videos! Then there's a couple more magazines, some Blox that came with the Shieldy, the doujin game Zoidon 2: All Star Battle Story... and last but not least, 12 OJR kites featuring the Ironkong Mk-II Limited! Anyone who wants a super-rare Zoids kite, let me know |

Very nice haul! I was surprised when I saw the kits on YJ for just how many there were. Especially considering I'd never seen them for sale before, at least that I remember~

Is it a triangle kite? I was just thinking about those. So nostalgic.
