Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Where are the proper Zoids?
Their structure look more promising than the original Blox but I still hope this isn't the future of the Zoids line. They look unfinished somehow...
And it's nice to see the little convention Blox getting a release, even if it is packaged with other Blox.
...Damnit, it's Nivinco again!

Ah...so that's what LB stands for, it was driving me nuts.
Must be a really busy time for their server, the page won't even load for me. -Pheno

Good! We got official names and everything now! Hopefully these guys will have stats too.. and maybe a Battle Story.
Is it me, or does that Bee look just like a custom someone posted here?

Good, it loaded this time. Hrm, they don't seem to have any factions and it looks like they might not have stickers either. Why do I feel like Neo Blox are going to kill the Zoids line? -Pheno

On a side note, has anyone noticed the blue/white/gold VS black/red? De ja vu?

Why do I feel like Neo Blox are going to kill the Zoids line? I've felt like that at one time or another with just about every less than stellar (ie, non model kit) development. Also, maybe they're just cooling off for a bit. 2004 was pretty slim too. I'm sure TDP will pick up the slack (and find a way to empty our wallettzz)

If any, these blox could revive the zoids line here in the USA. I always felt the the regular consumer here doesn't have the patience to build a regular model kit (hence the decline). Blox type (expecially if they're already cut off the sprues) may help the average person to start buying these (just take a look at how Lego has branched out to malls).

I like how they look but still not a blox fan. Al Sweet

Reckon you lot are being a bit harsh to be honest. There's some cool stuff there, although I'll admit BloxyMurasame looks a bit of a spaz with his spindly legs. Some of them cat ones look pretty Diablo-Tigerish.
Cannot believe how cute that lil Slugthingy is.
Arent these boys supposed to combine a la Matrix/Chimera Dragon?? Where's the pics of them doing that??
Obviously this is not the OJR old school stuff a lot of us were longing for a return to, but we knew that already. I do want some bigger battery type Zoids to go with these, but I'll certainly ejoy collecting these boys in the meantime...

Pawl - Don't get me wrong, I think the Neo Blox look great, I've always been a big Blox fan and personally I can't wait to get them. What I meant when I said I think they might kill the Zoids line is that while I like them, I feel like the general population probably won't like them and thus may cause sales to slump. -Pheno

Supposedly end of April for us here in Singapore but I don't know about the rest of the world. Check HLJ, someone said the release date was delayed by a few months but it should all be out by June.

The transliterators at Tomy appear to be getting worse!
BraveJaguar should surely be written (in japanese) Jyagua, not Jyagaa
What they're called Raptojaguar should spelt Raptojäger. The fact that it is clearly not a jaguar should have been the transliterators' first hint!
As for the quality of the models, I love the Brachiorakete (rakete is german for rockets), and the Hurricane Hawk is going to be a popular source of parts for customs!
