the Dark Assassins (Fused Killerdome and Dark SPiner) were manhandled by an invisible zoids which looked to me A LOT like a Zaber fang from what I saw of the silhouette. Could this be the fabled Energy Zaber? EDIT*- Yeah okay im now eating my words, but since id never seen it before I felt obliged to speculate.  Also, All targets in my area just recently recieved a fresh Influx of Energy Ligers. Personally I think we'll start to see some new stuff soon, *crosses fingers* |

Well Im just seeing this now.
DANG!
New Theory:
Energy Zaber was a horrible misprint, and they meant "Holotech"

No, in Hasbro Press release from last year they mentioned 2 Air Powered Zoids. I'm almost positive that Energy Zaber will be the second one.

Jet Falcon is air powered (although it needs to be plugged into an Energy Liger). Could that be the second air powered Zoid?

The second air-powered Zoid mentioned by Hasbro is most likely the Zoid listed on their webpage, Energy Saber.
Jet Falcon is a Tomy design, also being reproduced in tandem with Hasbro.
Energy Saber will most likely be reproduced in tandem with Tomy, same as Energy Liger was.
From all apearances, Hasbro is behind on there scheduled releases, probably production problems, but looks to be releasing in the near future.
Tomy's Jet Falcon is starting to appear, Hasbro's probably not far behind. Probably see a Tomy release of the Energy Saber as well in the near future.
Just because they arnt on the shelves on schedule doesnt mean they arent on the way.
Good example:
I also still collect and build Star Trek models. Last year a US company, Polar Lights, was able to obtain a license to reproduce Trek kits. One of these kits was a 1/350th scale NX-01 Enterprise, scheduled for release last December. Due to manufacturing problems, namely the Chinese company doing the injection molding and boxing of the kits trying to cut corners by comprimising the exceptional detail on the kit, thus increasing their profit margin, the kit has been rescheduled for release several times, now scheduled for March.
This happens a lot with mass produced injection plastics, and is probably the similier case for Hasbro being behind in scheduled releases.

Just a tech question, plastic injection?

Just a tech question, plastic injection? The majority of models are made by injectiing plastic in a steel mold. |

Bleh, share the Wealth, there is absolutelly nothing in Caldwell anymore. Really? That's odd since I live in Caldwell and find Zoids all over the place in Caldwell, as well as in Nampa, Boise, and Ontario, none more then 30 minutes away. |

Wal*Mart is empty, and all I see otherwise is small windups in Walgreens and Pennywise.. then there is Fred Meyer, I cant even get there reliably in the firstplace, so frankly i'm stuck to Wal*Mart and downtown Caldwell unless under superfluous circumstances, and even then Fred Meyer's doesn't even have Redler, Geno Breaker or Lightning Saix.  |

Kings in downtown Caldwell has 7-8 differant Zoids, and Toys R Us in Boise as all three of the Zoids you just mentioned. Fred Myer has quite a few Zoids. There are quite few places within a reasonable distance that carry zoids. Just because you dont have a car to get there doesnt mean there arnt any around to be had. |

I never implied that there were none within town, I meant Zoids within my reach.. and to be honestlly Fred Meyer's is much more then I expect to spend for Zoids.
