Yo!

With Dafrca and Vanvlak buying all sorts of cool toys for themselves I decided to follow suit. As it happens, I received a word I'll be getting quite large bonus in my next payday so my toy budget just got a substantial increase.  :cool:   :D  

So far I've ordered these to reinforce the ones I have left from the happy days of my childhood when I had time to play.

EDIT:
More of the same.

This:

Upgraded with this:

Unsurprisingly, Gojulas aka Zoidzilla is my favorite.  :cool:

Cool! :)

Curious, seeing as these are listed as discontinued in the link you provided, what means have you used to order them?

Ouch! Sorry to hear that.  :(  I think Zoids are some of the best toys ever. Clever construction system and really cool looks. I mean, who wouldn't like huge dinosaur war machines?  :D

Ahhh, Zoids!  I remember them fondly! :D

On my 9th Birthday I got the Salamander model you link to above (or 'Krark the Prince of Darkness' as it was sold in the UK - in red & grey plastic!)  and the one which was like a Stegadon...

Awesome, it almost tempts me to buy some, too! :laugh:

I'm sure that Zoids are still for sale in the UK...

Forbidden Planet definately had some in the store last Christmas as a mate of mine picked up about 7-8 of the larger versions which he wasn't allowed when he was a kid!

The Entertainer (ltoy shop) also use to sell them.

You can buy them in Toys r us, Woolworths, Toymaster etc. One of my kids buys them now, and I try to pinch bits for conversions...

It is such fun to endulge (a little) the inner child.  :D

Neat stuff, Mojarn. Speaking of "buying toys", I received a certain ebay package yesterday.  :)

More goodies. http://www.hlj.com/product/TOM62324

After this one It's over until next month. Bonus or not, got to have at least _some_ self discipline.  :;):  

The Salamander arrived today. I'll post pics when the rest of these babies have arrived. Including a group pic with my previous acquisitions.

A couple of Zoids links for those interested.

Wikipedia article. It's unbelievable what's in there these days.

Phenotype's Zoids. Really good site, lots of pics and a ton of links.
