So the designs are all fan-designed, not official? I did remember when Takara and Tomy were about to merge, would they combine their IP for future toy line? Like mircoman in Zoids, or Transformer/Zoids crossover.

Like mircoman in Zoids, or Transformer/Zoids crossover. I don’t know exactly as nearly everything on this is in japanese, but the few english information looks like it is not official Tomy stuff.  As Gojulas Omega said i bought it because of the drawings these are made so cool. Cougan |

Yeah, it's just a neat fan doujin (although I'm surprised how many people were involved).  Today's haul was mostly Zoids Wild stuff - all the Wave 1 and 2 models except Wild Liger, since the Special Edition version should be coming out in a couple of months (technically I got the Gilraptor over a month ago as a birthday present, but I thought I'd toss it in), plus two of the three first-edition versions of Starting Over. Also pictured: A rare 1984 toy encyclopedia, a Transhawk, and a pair of clear blue Flyscissors wings (plus a stealthy Shoebill). |

I got it from yahoo jp and it was not as expensive as the others that are not built. So this is ok for me i would have build it anyway. Gojulas Omega Omega:Thanks! Yes these might be exactly what collectors are looking for. Personally i also like the white armor and the translucent caps. Cougan |

UPS STRIKES AGAIN!!!After my package mysteriously dropped off tracking for over a week before arriving, this is how my items were delivered in "acceptable", "undamaged" condition. Plus the damaged package was left at my door, signed for by the driver despite the fact that I was home (and would have refused the package had I seen the condition), and not even left in the spot where the notes said to leave it. UPS customer support says they aren't liable and my shipping insurance is worthless. Now to deal with the fun of international returns! The Grachio got hit the worst, but the Kuwaga box is crushed to be about half the size of my Scorpear and Kabtor's box, and everything inside the Grachio + Kuwaga box sounds broken, like a box of loose Lego. The book is ruined too, soaked in who knows what liquid with the pages stuck together and some of the ink running between pages. I actually had to set the Grachio's box in the sink for a few hours while it drained and dried as it was still wet despite being repacked and sitting for a few days.   I don't think I've ever had a package delivered by UPS that wasn't ruined in some way, and most result in me returning the items. I can't see why companies continue to use them.

Wow speak of the devil. The postal service, thought I was having problems today then I saw this. Looks like it was on the floor of a truck with poor sealing from the rain.
I'm currently having problems with Australia Post. (for the 100th time over my lifetime) A twitter friend bought me a ganontoise and sent it to me. The driver left a card in my mailbox with instructions to collect from the post office as I wasn't home. Sure enough I went to the post office the next day with my card and they said parcel had never arrived. So now had to call up to begin an investigation which will take hell knows how long. Just really bugs me this time as it's from a friend so it's more personal and not from a business so I have to somehow explain in Japanese how it didn't turn up because Australia post workers are incompenent at their job, or thieves. Probably both.
With the amount of problems i've had with delivery drivers I just wish there was an option where I could drive myself to the distribution centre to collect it before it leaves on some idiots van.
(ironically I was a courier for 5 years myself, and have seen the worst of it behind the scenes)

Wow!! Can we still call it a "parcel"?
I think it get socking wet during the storm that hit Japan last week. However, it still totally unacceptable to drop off the parcel like that and the customer support did nothing like that.

Holy crap, Orion, that's terrible. I've always said that UPS is by far the worst out of all the international courier companies, but this makes the trouble I've had with them look like peanuts. Fingers crossed you can somehow get this sorted out...
