Are restaurants actually that expensive in France? ... or is it food in general that's more expensive, and nobody notices because they make more money or something? Currency exchange is weird, but spending more than 50 bucks for dinner for two in the states is pretty ridiculous unless you both got lobster Not true at all if he's talking about fine dining (as in a restaurant with a rated professional chef; not a chain restaurant like Sizzler or Red Lobster, and even they can run about $60 for 2 for a full dinner w/ wine). It could be considered ridiculous by some, but it isn't uncommon by any means. |

Hey, I have an idea! Since nnobody else here wants one, I'll buy it as a guiney pig *can't spell* and wright a review about it! That way, you can know what a fellow PhenoZoider thinks of it (then again, I like blox and neo-blox, so whatever) What do you all think? Because I find myself really wanting this thing...

Yup, that's me. Product testor. Is it cool? Yes. Is it worth $50? No. Will I pay $50 for it? Yes.  |

Oh, if only we all could get jobs as "product testers" and "disposers of leftover stock." 'Oh, is that a Sturm Tyrann? It IS! Oh, and nobody bought it.... MINE!'
'Oh, nobody wants this Death Stinger... *yoink*'
'Hello, Mr. Leftover Evil Pegasus! And here's your buddy, OJR Gilvader! And across the shelf, the Undeveloped Berserk Fuhrer CAS family! Let's get you all home!'
If only.
But there' s a wide range of fancy restuarants. There's foreign-fancy, pseudo-fancy, imitate-fancy, real-fancy, lacey-fancy, caviar-fancy, Micheal Mina-fancy, Emril-fancy, Elvis-fancy, etc, etc. Et cetera ad infinitum!
Bt still, fifty dollars? If it was a bit bigger, sure, but if they're gonna make it tiny, then it'd best be posable, IMO (certified Blox/NeoBlox fan.)

I don't see wires to make it RC, either, as it's been said this is. THAT might justify the price tag. >>

yeh...I've always wanted an RC berserk fuhrer, but with...like, rotary motors in the buster weapon and pistons to make them open. Granted, it would have to be 1/50 scale to make that possible, but still...Tell me, since I can't understand the engrish, does the bat. op. have motorized pivoting weapons??
[EDIT] but...if it's so small, I'd think it harder to make motorized rather than poseable! and the RC feature makes it awesome (as long as you can control where it is going)
AND STOP WITH THE EXPENSIVE RESTARAUNTS!!!!!

In all case I will take at least one of those Gojulas, the BO of course. I will see after if I go on or not. Maybe we will be very well surprised when we will have it in hands.

Okay, breaking news; I woke up, and said to myself, "I want one of these things."
I dunno, it looks really cool. But I still don't know if it's prebuilt or standard assembly (huzzah?), but even if it's prebuilt.... I want one. I'm thinking about stealing Mariner's guns and putting them on Gojulas Standard (I think Mariner looks silly.) Tiny gunbunny glowing Gojulas go!

OH MY GOD!!! THREE OF US HAVE FALLEN UNDER THE SPELL!!!!!
hm. I like mariner, not really for the color scheme (which is more like cotton candy than marine to me) but for the battery operation and the cannons. Okay, so are these the features?:
A. RC
B. 2 settings (1- walks, 2-roars)
C. MKII Cannons
D. Charger that doubles as a stand
I think I already said this, but...so, like, this is like the Ipod Nano of the zoid world? Think about it, though. Those little motors have to be very expensive to make!

Yes, $50 is alot of money. I could buy two CP-03s for that much...BUT...um...er...eee...ugh....neeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww zzzzzzzzzzzzoooooooooooooooiiiiiiidssssssssssssssssssssss....hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....*groans like zombie*
Again, none of you have to buy it. I'll get it and review it for you.
[EDIT] and Snowflake, to spraypaint a gecko silver, I need
$3.50 for a can of Testor's Silver spray enamel
$15.00 for a gecko (we don't have any wild here, so I'd have to get a house gecko from Pet's & Company)
alot more than $1.25. Even more to paint a gecko blue and cocoa and put a couple of cumbersome busters on his back.

zilla is an iguana. Godzilla is a Godzillasaurus. You are correct in that godzilla (usa-dubbed 'zilla' in japan) is a mutated iguana, but Gojulas is modeled after Godzilla from Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
