smg.photobucket.com/user/Celebmacil/media/Zoids/ECZ-05EmpireCustmizeSetNewInstructions22.jpg.html link to pics, scroll to left.

As an be seen, while there are sets to pics, inlcuding a backpack, the backpack is NOT for the deathsaurer. The DSaurer used the CP-02 to mount the CP11. And there's a backpack oin the set to mount the Pulse laser from the IK PK on the Saber Tiger and the horns as well as the beam launcher. THe Beam Launcher and Missile pod set for the PK/MK2 Limited Iron Kong can also be mounted with thsoe big missiles on the Horns and Tigers. But it appaears except for one gun, a CP11 and CP02 will ahe most of the parts to create a strengthened/mega Deathie. Only aprts missing is the weapons normally mounted on the Iron Kong. ell,a nd a part to mount the wing pack fins on the tail of the Deathie and to mount the big missiles from the PK.

I've never seen these pics anywhere before. It seems the conenctor fram is the Z fram and other than Z8 and Z5 (a head gun) all the connectors for the Mega Deathie are in the deathie kit. Z8 is to mount those parts used as missile son the PK/Mk2 Limited Kongs onto the Deathie. SO somebdoy could builld a nearly compelte deathy with jsut the CP02 and CP11. COuldn't build a strengthened horn or tiger though. Though that huge booster pack would look kickass on the Tiger.

No it's the NEW one, because it includes the CP02. the old oen was everything but the CP02. ANd yeah, sad the empire and republic sets were never rereleased.. At least the republic one kinda was with Cannoneer Gordos. But the Empire one never was.

[Maethius]

Interesting stuff. There were a few pieces of the Republic set released with the Salamander Bombvyrne, too. Personally, I always thought they should release more customization kits even after the line died... there are lots of models and toys still floating around out there that customers would gladly buy a set of bits and guns for!

[CeilYurei]

Well, Maethius, considering I'd buy a bombvern or Cannoneer Gordos for the Cannons and connectors alone, let alone those missile pods says something. Heck, I'm tempted to buy like 2 of the Sea Panthers and Pteras from the Monthly Graphics line because that's where the weapons and euipment frames of the Remodel Set are. At LEAST to of each. But they never released a Strengthened Saber or one with that epic booster backpack from the Empire kit. ANd the Weapaosn are only found in the PK, Hasbro, or MK2 limited Kongs. CP02 from the New set is available also onyl by itself, in the new custom set, or in limiteds. I really wish i coulda gotten thsoe 2 pair of Zaber Fangs with CP02s when they were on ebay...

Hehe, if you decide to get Sea Panthers and have an extra, keep me posted

I am strongly considering taking up resin casting to reproduce rarer parts rather than seeking out and cannibalizing kits all the time for this very reason.

[CeilYurei]

Will do CISsuperdroid! ANd I really am tempted to do so. I'd even send it to you cheap with the box, jsut minus the extra weapons frame.

ANd if you do that Maethius you could probably sell some on here for good money. I know I'd buy them

[CISsuperdroid]

I would really appreciate that; Sea Panther's been one of my wants for a long time!

I'd take any parts I needed or about 2/3 or 1/5 price I paid in exchange. Price negotiable. Oh and the Amazon price. I'd include shipping as aprt of the negotiations. IE if 20 bucks then 20 bucks, not 20+ shipping. Unless you live outside the US, then might have to raise the price a little.

[CISsuperdroid]

Alright, sounds fair! I do live in the US; Florida, specifically. For the Zoid, I just want the parts to make it function, with whatever base weapons are pictured on the box. Anything else is unnecessary. Even if you need some of the "base" weapons, I wouldn't mind as long as the price reflects what is missing.

Nah,, i';d never short change ya, I'd probably just remove the extra weapons frame from the box and then ship it to ya. I already kinda did that with an Electronic L-Zero action figure, took the action figure out of the Zero X box and passed it on complete to a buyer on ebay. I could ahve kept the Bit Cloud figure but figured I should sell it as I got it.

Also, apparently the Pterasu or Pteras from the Monthly graphics line is in black and a silvery white. It COULD be a very dark blue but looks black to me, like the silver pteras.

[CISsuperdroid]

Okay, well, I look forward to it! Just keep in mind that my budget right now is a bit tight after some purchases from various sellers here, so it might be a while before I could make any transactions.

Just did some research on that Pteras you mentioned, and yes, it is much darker than a standard Pteras, but seems more like very dark grey with a SLIGHT hint of blue. Almost black, but different lighting changes it a bit to seem navy-grey. The white plastic seems pearly almost, but is more likely just a cream tone.

Still amtches the Silver Pteras really closely, which is cool

Also, turns out the Great Saber is actually a C type Strengthened Saber with the Pulse Beam Gun from the Empire Kit missing. ANd those 4 little things on that gun are probably meant to be missile pods. If I get the parts of the customize set for the empire, or get a complete one, I'll probably use the Pulse gun on the Saber, the fact it has boosters makes it look weird for an arm gun.
