Congratulations on moving on. This is one problem collectors face, and I see myself doing the same thing a few years from now. I do see myself just giving it away to someone who appreciates it (like my old comic book collection), so like MugenWarrior, I'll enter (maybe get a few for myself) and give the rest away to Members of the forum.
The looming question is what will happen to this forum and your web site?

The looming question is what will happen to this forum and your web site? Nothing will happen to them, the forum and site will both remain where they are and I will continue to be the admin of both.

Its always sad to see anyone give up their collection of any type. But if you think its the right move for you, you have my respect and best wishes - so long as you pop in here once in a while ! ! It wouldn't be Pheno's without Pheno. Glad to hear both the forum and site will remain up, but does this mean the site will never get updated with new pics ? Sure, there are other places with pics of every Zoid ever made, but your site was one of the few in English that gave opinions. I'm checking if I have to pay Customs Duty on prizes, then you can expect me to pick up a ticket or two. zed

Phenotype’s ENTIRE Zoids Collection Raffle:. 150 x $25 = $3750?? Surely your collection is worth more no? And you mention you include shipping.. is that to the US? or includes Europe? Ta Sam

Pieces, you have many pieces I must have and model...
*tries to imagine putting damn near every Zoid in existence into 3D Studio* ... Crap... That'd involve a lot of sitting...

u gotta to be kidding me, after all this time, someone has done voodoo on yah pal. I mean if it's not about the money then why sell them. Hold one to them, kept them where u always stored them and work on ur house buying thing and even if it takes 10 years to get that house then let it be. when u get the house then move em in as well. STOP fooling yourself, if it's not about the money then keep em, please i hope u know what u are doing. Think back on all the hard times u tried to get zoids and the time u used to build these zoids and for 6 years i mean come on. r u sure ur not sick or someone has poisoned u? please for a moment go to the room u store them in and look at them and think real good and ask ur self what is it u really wanna do. I mean come on if ur going to pay for shipping then u better know that u'll probly end up paying more than u made especially if the raffling ends and not many slots have been sold. please i hope u know what ur doing, just give it time ur probaly in a rush or worried about the future but no one puts so much of his life into something then gives up on it just like that, and six years is a lot. thats all i gotta say at least for now. PLEASE THINK IT OVER

I mean, you have all the good limiteds (PK, Ogre, Geno Jet, Heavy KW, proto Siesmo, Black Redler, red Cwolf...the list goes on). Still, like you say it's a quick solution to the selling problem.

Still, like you say it's a quick solution to the selling problem. That's my thoughts almost exactly. One question: For our member ID, do we juat say the name we registered with? Or the one we use as like a screen name? Both?

PLEASE THINK IT OVER I appreciate the concern but please try to understand, I don't want them anymore. Even if I had the biggest house in the world and could devote an entire room to Zoids I wouldn't. Zoids has been a big part of my life for many years but for the last two years at least I've been losing interest in them. Some people will probably always stay interested in Zoids and I think that's great. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from collecting but it's time for me to move on. I've given this a LOT of though and honestly I've been talking about selling my collection for over a year now, just ask the Mods. About a year ago I posted on the Moderator board that I was going to sell my collection and leave the forum. I didn't because at the time I felt it wasn't right, this is the right time except I won't be leaving the forum, just selling my collection. Wow, you were 'Guest'ed quickly. But yes, my thoughts exactly. I mean, you have all the good limiteds (PK, Ogre, Geno Jet, Heavy KW, proto Siesmo, Black Redler, red Cwolf...the list goes on). Since this contest is open to anyone and not just Members of the forum I changed this board so that anyone can read and reply, so that person didn't register an account here. I appreciate the concern, I set the price low because I wanted everyone to able to participate and I was worried you guys would think I was expecting too much money. After reading the posts here it seems like many of you are concerned I'm not making enough money from this. I guess all I can say is that hopefully the slots will fill and we can add more. You can always make a donation too if you want. For our Member ID, do we juat say the name we registered with? Or the one we use as like a screen name? Both? Your screen name, I can look you up using either but it makes more sense to send me your screen name since that's what I'll be putting on the list and we want it to be current.

I wonder how many people are using Zoid numbers to pick their slots...
And now that I think about it, where do you put all these things? I've run out of space with 50 Zoids, with 10 times that I may need to line the walls with shelves... and empty my closet... and bring in some bookshelves... and move my bed into a vertical position...

Don't do it, man. I've regretted every toy I ever sold. Box 'em and store 'em for ten years then decide. Give 'em to your kids instead.

Thank you for keeping this. Maybe you'll give one of the moderators admin powers to your site as well. I do feel your decision on this. I see myself losing some interest as well. Whenever someone asks me if my collection is worth a lot, I tell them that any collectable is only worth a lot to the people who collect them. the forum and site will both remain where they are and I will continue to be the admin of both.

.....OMFG....I can't believe you're selling your entire collection! And for 25$ That's insane! Hell, I'd love to join in on the raffle (I certainly have enough money) but if I won (and that's a big if) I'd have absolutley nowhere to put them! Besides, my dad would kill me if I did. Man, and ya worked so hard on gettin' 'em too. If it was me I don't think I'd be able to part with them. But wow! I mean...I bet it's every zoid-fan's dream to get a hold of your zoids. I nearly fainted when I saw this post. Your zoids are awesome and the customs are incredible. I wish I had a contact in Japan... Well, I congratulate the soon-to-be winner (whoever that will be) and hope they have enough room to hold their new-found treasures. Oh, congratulations on you getting married soon!
