Mai aquired another grail of hers! :D And for some reason he even cleared customs with no tax, it's a miracle omg. I only just wish he had come with box, I still need that ;v;
I wanted the Grade Up Houndsoldier for a long time now, and I finally got an affordable off Yahoo Japan! He’s complete and with the chrome even intact omg! I love the color scheme so much, it’s by far the most gorgeous version. The purple even has SILVER SPARKLES. SILVER SPARKLES
I got the Hyper Beam Cannon with a Gultiger a long time ago, so I was able to complete him c: However, I’m going to leave it off because it honestly just looks... weird, and I love the chrome cannon a lot more~

Another OJR is coming, next week. I made a decision. The Zoids Wild are beautiful, but I won't buy them. It is not that I don't like them, there are really good models (the Stego is great !), but severals years ago, I began to recenter myself on the vintage, when I started to buy MIB models (Zoids, Gobots, Tranformers...). I stopped buying the HMM Zoids, even if they were beautiful too. And since, I am reselling the new stuff (Binary Tech, new TF...) and only the old stuff is intersting me. OJR OER MIB, old european Gobots on cards... I'm keeping the new lines of Zoids (NJR and so), but the rest will go away. So, when I see an OER or OJR that I don't have at a good price (which means under 3 figures), I take it.

PS : and I'm going to se my tattooiste in three weeks, I'm saving money.

I am very sorry for the crappy photo quality but omg today was like Christmas cuz these guys arrived!!
I cannot express how excited I am about the OER Shield Tiger. He was one of my holy grails for the longest time and now I finally have a complete one with no sun damage or anything :D The other three are destined to be painted and made posey, which I am highly looking forward to - once I finally get the time for it oh no :'D

Actually got these on Monday, but haven’t got around to posting yet. Massive thanks to cloudymecha for putting these together! Of course, I more partially to the Zenebas Empire, so definitely going to need a pin for them soon too.
As for my Grachio+Kuwaga+Manga ordeal, UPS has been next to useless in assuming no responsibility. Luckily, I’ve been able to return the damaged items (at my own shipping cost) to Japan. Once received, AmazonJapan will send me replacements (their customer service made notes to double box them and use extra padding to ensure they arrive in good condition) and I won’t have to pay shipping from Japan->USA again. They’ve also noted not to use UPS on my account, so I’ll probably have to deal with DHL instead. Overall I’ll be out the $65 to return ship the items, but it’s better than nothing I guess.

After what feels like 3 months, my seamail package finally arrived and I am soooooo excited!!!!
I have to say.... the Deadborder is SUCH a nice kit omg. The matte black is just......... so sexy omgomgomg. If I wanted a MIB OJR one before, I definitely NEED one now D:
Including glorious glowiness. I'm so excited to customize him aaaaaa!
I also got this heavily customized OJR Shield Liger... mainly cuz I need the white parts for my Ghost Shieldy~ Also now I have some spare parts in case I ever get an incomplete OJR Shield Liger, haha. The LED is delightfully eerie too, I so need to repurpose that one day. Reminds me of the kind of lights you'd see in a mine, love it~ (Just a shame that the previous owner chopped up the entire thing to install it.)
He even came with navy double beam cannons.... and I honestly have no idea where they are from. I don't recall the old CUSTMIZE sets coming with them (and especially not in not-white), and the modern CPs/releases are all silver afaik. Very interesting indeed. Perhaps Han, Falc or Lionel have an idea..? Nevermind they're from a Madthunder, thanks Falc! Didn't know that any other Zoid comes with them.
I also got the Saber keychain on a whim for the sole reason that I have never seen it before (yes I have poor impulse control). I'm surprised that he even still lights up a bit! I took a video of that HERE~
(I'd still rather have the Shieldy one though ;3; )

That's impressive! I've bought like 4 of the Shieldy keychains in my lifetime and they never lit up. Neither have my Deathy and Gojulas ones. In fact, only seen 1 other (Shieldy) that did, so that's a very lucky catch!
Gorhecks and Gabrigator arrived a while back, but the Ultra, that I just got today and I'm marveling at its size. Only my HMM Gojulas the Ogre doesn't feel dwarfed by this thing (and that's including my Gildragon)
