How about a collection post thread? I always love to see people's display cases and shelves lined with Zoids. I uh..mine are not organized at all and are in fact incredibly messy and dusty. Until I can fix a spot to display everything nicely this is how it'll have to be; so at the moment they are all scattered about. If your Zoids are packed away right now feel free to share a list of what you have! Or just share some of your favorites in your collection.

Lol, spider-gator. And holy cow I did not know Crimson Horn was such a beast! My collection here consists of While my parents' attic and "spare room" house the rest.

Aw, little Blitz Haken. I had to look for Spider Gator but I love it~ These are my old collection photos from a few years ago. They're missing ... a lot- of Zoids. And all of my books. And I won't get into my card collections right now- *Needs to clean shelves and Zoids and get new photos* Mah babies. K Wuf collection also now includes the 2002 Zoids Book and the English Zoids Zi manga from (Singapore?) Also the Zoids BCG booster that features it. I have the BCG cards (minus holographic versions) and most of the Scramble/Colosseum first stuff. Missing everything from Colosseum 2nd and obvious chromes. Little display case thanks to Green Gairyuki, actually~

Haha I'm glad you noticed spider Gator Greengai; it's being held up by Crimson Horn who, yes, is A BIG HULKING MONSTER and I was surprised how big it was compared to the other horns.
Love the kits you have too; I am a big fan of Dimetraptera and anything that reminds me of Salamander.
Speaking of which...I forgot to photograph my Salamander because it was sitting on a completely different shelf than everything else WHOOPS.
I always love your K-wuffs Hanyoutai. I recently won a Heavy Arms for a decent price off of Mandarake and I'm pretty stoked; it came today. All I need now is Fuzors wuff. You have a very impressive collection I love looking through it; the table made from the Koto boxes is a great idea!

Most are still in boxes, so I don't have any pictures. But my collection consists of at least one of every Zoid that Kotobukiya has released in the HMM line with the sole exception of the Iron Kong Schubaltz version, and the three one off prize zoids (clear Iguan, clear Godos, chrome plated Liger Zero.)

Until I can fix a spot to display everything nicely this is how it'll have to be; so at the moment they are all scattered about. Watch out looks like your white k wulf is about to take a plunge! Cute how you have Liger zero sitting down, though why is he naked? lol . Great though I love seeing peoples collections too Aw, little Blitz Haken. These are my old collection photos from a few years ago. They're missing ... a lot- of Zoids. And all of my books. And I won't get into my card collections right now- *Needs to clean shelves and Zoids and get new photos* Very admirable I don't recall ever seeing your collection before, I see some interesting ones there. I notice you got red hiou with white liger armour what you do with the pink holo armour? Nice space management with those 3 berserk fury's I thuoght 1 takes up alot of space! Also adoring that gold on the Grey blade liger and the red on that saber next to the mirage fox is a beaut. Anyway Here's my collection totally un prepared as it is right now as I type this I can't remember how and why the hasbro liger zero ended up next to the computer, I swear they go roaming when I'm not at home

Those are some awesome cases. It's one thing that always bugged me about my collection -- the lack of sealed doors! Dust has run rampant, which is the primary reason for no recent photos. Also quite envious of the Night Fight! It's one I still wanna get someday. The Hiou, I expected to look better in person. I still love it, but honestly the pink loses its tones atop the red base. It looks more like it has a flesh eating disease than a pretty pink flower liger. So I swapped the parts with a standard white Liger Zero from Academy. The stark white on red base doesn't look as nice but I'm in love with the pink armor over the black frame (even if the teeth are mismatched colors.) It also brings out the blue colors a LOT nicer. The Saber was a custom I bought from Japan, because I noticed the red was way different than the standard. It is beautifully painted with a silver base and transparent red. Exactly how I would've done a Raven Saber if I ever made my own custom. The photo below shows it before I cleaned up the desk / when I first got it, but still.

I wish I could say the doors were sealed, they are just sliding and they have the tiniest uneven gaps at the side, dust will still slowly find a way in to the upper shelves anyway. Still it's WAY less than open shelves where yes as you know dust is a nightmare, As for the night fight liger that thing fell from a height above me onto the floor during a shelf collapse and somehow survived unscathed. I spot your red Hiou now up there next to the shadow fox. You're right about the blue I barely even knew they had blue on them, with your one on the standard base liger it really sticks out. I saw the eyes and I'm like oh how did he get that blue eye lens then I realized mine has one too so that says something.

I recently moved to a new house, and figured it would be a good opportunity to take inventory photos of my collection. So here's all my Zoids (and Z-Knight) stuff as of the end of 2020, including what I'm fairly confident is the largest Zoids media collection outside Japan... (The photos are clickable, but be warned that the full-size versions are huge.) Models and minis:All my built models, plus a few of my sister's and a couple of non-Zoid shelves. They're so cramped right now that there's probably at least one completely hidden in this photo, but they'll likely end up spreading into another cabinet at some point. These ones all technically belong to my sister, but I'm treating these photos as "the family collection" more than "my personal collection". Our unbuilt stuff - we kept the boxes for all the built stuff too, but they're in storage. Manuals and stickers, including several that I don't actually own the kit for. Digital media:Anime DVDs and VHSes (the Fuzors DVDs are the rental versions, but they're almost identical to the retail versions). Other videos (including every publicly-available Zoids promo video, as far as I'm aware). Music and audio, including openings/endings and the Re Mie x Kotona spinoff stuff. Video games (including the Zoidon doujin series). Print media:Manga, plus some pre-disassembled copies I bought for easier scanning. Game walkthrough books (including a couple of magazine bonus items). Other official Zoids books (plus the Zoids Bible card set, since there wasn't really anywhere better to put it). Official Zoids (and Z-Knight) booklets, pamphlets, posters and such. Unofficial and almost-official Zoids books and booklets. CoroCoro Comics issues (including Monthly, Legends, Zoukangou and Special, plus a folder of cutouts and bonus items). Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan issues. Other magazines and serials with regular Zoids content (including some printouts from the National Diet Library of Japan). Books and magazines with one-off Zoids content. Other merch:Card games, tabletop games and puzzles (including my English translation of Scramble). Clothes, kites and other random merch (including Genesis concept art). And just to round things out, here are the main items I'm still looking to buy, because there's always more to find...

There are some impressive collections of Zoids around here!
My Zoids are in the "all packed up" stage, which is kind of a bummer, but I know they are all safe and sound. Scanning through my life drive, I found some ancient snapshots. I'm still trying to do what I was trying to do back in the days of the awesome NAR/NJR release, which was a top secret project--for me, that is. I'm actually pretty close, though I did have to make a few concessions along the way. In trying to report my "list of Zoids" from the NJR/NAR release that would be quite cumbersome as well, so I will report what I don't have as that is much less work. NJR/NAR These are not yet in my Zoids Hangars: EZ-016 Saber Tiger EZ-032 Sinker (I think...) RZ-058 Megaleon EZ-059 Glaive Quama RZ-062 Saberlion (I think....) EZ-063 Gun Tiger RZ-067 Arosaurer EZ-068 Storch EZ-069 Seismosaurus RZ-070 Gairyuki RZ-071 Ligerzero Phoenix RZ-073 Whitz Wolf EZ-074 Death Raser EZ-076 Brastle Tiger And now for some "really" old photos. It's no secret that RZ-007 is still my favorite Zoid of all. I honestly don't know why, but after a while I just shrugged and said, oh well, it just is what it is. I love Shield Liger and never get tired of him. Back in the days, a fellow zoider turned me on to what was called, plastic swaps. I though it was an interesting idea and gave it a try--about....10 years ago. The Zoid pictured here is a combination of the NJR/NAR Koenig Wolf RZ-053 and Fuzors Koenig Wolf FZ-002. And with the left over parts, a modeler can create a red white and blue woof. I'm not the first to do this plastic swap, but I was the first to tell the other Zoider of what to do with the rest of the parts, which I think he might have dubbed USA Woof, or something like that. This photo hasn't been shown in over 12 years. Given my personal Zoids project, I could model EZ-056 Hammerrock with CP-24, CP-25, and CP-26. There is a little story to this photo, or a story within a story. With my personal project, I had need for some Elephanders and after I put them together I did a quick test shot. After perusing this image, I was inspired to write my fanfic "Trophies", which was featured in the Zoids Anthology, and here on Pheno's. So, if you have read "Trophies", this photograph shows where the inspiration for that story came from.^^ I posted this photo in an obscure place many years ago, and have been emailed a couple of times about it from Zoiders. I only recently found it as I was trying to clean up my reference image archive. This photo was a personal attempt at fitting CP-24 and CP-25 on Hammerrock at the same time. For some reason, this photo doesn't like to stay on the Internet...^^
I also have some of the old whiteheads, some Fuzors Zoids, one Techno Zoid (Claw), some of the blox, and a couple of the really awesome OJRs.
One Zoid I would really like to get someday would be the Fuzors Ultimate Seismo. So, for now, these pics are a "very" few of my favorite Zoids. I might have some more down the road, as I tend to float back and forth in my Zoid interests, but today, this is where my Zoiding hobby is at.

Here's a link to my list - roboshopblog.wordpress.com/zoids-list/I have most of this stuff on display, but that also means the room it's in is so cramped that it's damn near impossible to stand far enough away from the shelves to take good pictures. I keep telling myself I'm going to do a Youtube video to document it all someday, but I honestly don't know how. The light in here sucks, and all I'd end up with is a bunch of grainy, shaky footage where you can't see anything. Sigh. Anyway, I have a complete set of OER (by my standards of completeness, anyway, I know Lionel is laughing somewhere), all of the Z24 (both OR and reissue where applicable), and all of the Zevle. Those were really my only collecting goals and I've completed all of that years ago, so these days, aside from all the ZW when they come out, I just occasionally buy stuff I stumble across on eBay. Basically my problem is that the only motorized Zoids I don't have some variant of are Godkaizer and Descat, and those are now impossible to find unless I want to sell a kidney first. I remember the days when Godkaizers were like 50$ on eBay and showed up all the time, and I'll be kicking myself for not picking one up then until I'm dead.

Falcarius - That's incredible. Your organization is impressive, and your passion for Zoids is so evident just by seeing how well everything is taken care of haha. Zoidmagnite - Nice custom load-outs! Fun to see each little squadron with specialized units. @darth Escargot - Wow. Along with Lionel's OER, you must have one of the most comprehensive collections on the planet! You could open a Zoids exhibit with separate galleries for each sub-line haha. If a collection video popped up on your youtube page, I'd be floored to see it regardless of lighting or graininess, but I understand you'd want your Zoids shown in the best light possible.
