A Zoids mandela effect

[bill]

I'm having an issue. Back in 2016 I died at work, a fatal heart attack. A few days later I woke in a hospital 80 miles from home with tubes in my mouth and nose and lots of monitoring devices hooked up to me. Since then I recall a few things differently than what is. One of the things I recall is megatopros being reproduced and me purchasing one. I look no where do I see this remake. Not in my collection nor any mention online. In fact it claims it was one that wasn't remade in the dream project. This is my mandela effect issue I'm having. It makes me wonder if I'm not in the universe I recall. This and a few other things are different. But I am troubled by this. It is a tremendous task to look thru my collection. However I have a list. It is in the list as having one. But when I looked thru the boxes after moving things to the new room I don't recall seeing it. Am I just crazy? Idk. Anyway it is bothering me enough to share.

Jeez, that sounds unsettling. Anyway, no, the Megatopros was never reproduced, unfortunately. I wonder if your memory is confused because you thought about wanting one a lot in the past. Just something your post reminded me of - there are some Zoids where I'm actually not sure if I owned them as a child or if I just stared at pictures of them in catalogs so much that it feels like I did. I'm coming at this more from psychology than neuroscience, but I think that being heightened by the effect of your heart attack might be a possible explanation.

This isn't the only issue I have. It is just the only one related to collecting zoids. There are 3 things different. Plus 3 times after getting back home the wife wanted to go do something that I recall already having done. One of them was visit her daughter. I argued with her about having already done that visit weeks before. It went down exactly as I recalled it happening the 1st time. Those events faded with time and incidents since then. Yet I'm still stuck with things such as this. The thing I recall about this megatopros it was a slightly different blue than the 1st one. The 1st is a slightly purplish blue whereas the new version a more solidly blue....blue and threads discussing this color shift that aren't there because it never happened. Yes unsettling is indeed the word for this. I've discussed this with a few other people. It always seems to circle back to the other madela effect issues many others have that are posted all over the web. Maybe I'm just old and my memory is slipping a bit. Anyway I had to share.

Some of my memories get really weird with zoids, I frequently legitimately cannot remember if I got the Tomy or Hasbro versions

I'm extremly clear on Robostrux and technozoids on both built and mib. The rest, well with over 500 zoids and zoids items I was forced to make a list. But my list consists of model not maker nor era. I miss being able to go to a big box store and buy em off the shelf. I remember the Robostrux on the Kmart shelves besides that little toy shop I frequented. I even bought the mamouth from radio shack on close out for only 5 bucks. Omg! The layer of dust on it now days! It is a wolly mamouth for sure now!

I think I remember some speculation on Megatopros being speculated for a re-release on ZP back when Rebirth Century was announced, but that's about all I can remember. I believe it was one of the rarer Zoids being thrown around back when we learned King Gojulas and Gilvader were getting re-released, but I don't remember anything official being mentioned. Might've been a scrapped candidate for the Zelve line, but I'm not too familiar with that one.

See, this is proof that you went to heaven.

This is one of the most unique Mandela effects I’ve heard of, and I’m surprised that this hasn’t come up sooner in one form or another!

First, let me say that I’m happy that you are alive and recovering, and I hope this year is better than the last for you!

Second, I do remember there being a LIMITED release of the Megatopros, but not a mass production.
