WARDICK!!!

I've got some sealed ones. Slitherzoids from 1980s, Zoids 2 and from the latest release I think. Plus Ive got an unbuilt Zoidzilla sat next to me along with a couple of dozen from the original and zoids 2 lines. Oh and most of the comics.

Any use?

I have a completed Krark, however he is at my parents house! Hmmm

[Philip Ayres]

HLJ have *FINALLY* shipped my reissue Malder & Sea Panther !

My Base set 1 will be complete !

[Philip Ayres]

They're here.

Both - like Molga (Slitherzoid) are wheel based Zoids so have better motion than most - Malder with his head extending while Sea Panther's little front legs scrabble about. Nice toys both

Cool I didn't know that. Me and my brother got Red Horn and Kraak for Christmas but our cousin who was a big Zoids fan and didn't have them bought them of us. I've wanted them back for a long time but the cousin wants to sell the full collection and I dont have the room at the moment. THese two will fill the gap for a while, they probably are missing a fair bit too.

Forsome light reading on the original European release see:

I would love to buy an Ultrasaurus Red, if it had been made...I really like building Zoids, putting on stickers becomes a chore though....I'd eventually like to get a Salamander release, closest thing to having KRAARK really, and cheaper and new in box....

I have a boxed Z-Builders Missile Tortoise going spare.

I have a rebuilt Death Stinger and Gojulas Giga, both of which have spent the last two years in bits in a box. Unfortunately Gojulas Giga sheds parts on one side after about a foot or so :-(

No-one does toy ads like the Japanese:

That is some very fine stop-movie violence and pyro there. Always good to see Zoids delivering a good solid thumping to each other.

I'm sorry but WHAT???????????????? www.hlj.com/product/GRFFG22ZD

[legios]

Ah yes... the whole Mecha-girl thing.... No, I don't get it either but it is a thing that lurks on the fringes of quite a few mecha-franchises. Usually crops up in fanart and stuff though but sometimes makes it over into actual product.

The pole goes into an unfortunate place.

Customise Parts today..... and I've got a little treat for the Kaptain!

1 New Republic Customise Kit smg.beta.photobucket.com/user/Primeconvoy1/library/Zoids%20Republic%20Customize%20Set?start=all

2 New Empire Customise Kit smg.beta.photobucket.com/user/Primeconvoy1/library/Zoids%20Empire%20Customize%20Set

Karl: click the main links for 1 & 2. Box pics and complete instructions including pics of the missing frames for 2 solving quite how Dimetrodon and Sabre Fang carried the Iron Kong gun!

Aha! You are right - that is a treat indeed! Finally an answer to a question I've been pondering for ages. (I'm unlikely to ever own that Heavy Beam Cannon, but it was exercising my brain as to how it would mount on the Sabre Tiger nevertheless)

I love the Republic and Empire Custom Sets they are absolutely marvelous things. I don't think there is much point in me posting a CP List of my own, it is more efficient to point to your list and say "me too" for my top five. Actually, my runners-up are pretty much the same to, bar the observation that the Omin-directional Missile Unit is a handy upgrade for more than just the Hammerrock - even the big Zoids can benefit from a few missile pods to clear the chaff out of the way. (And that the Molga Cannonry Unit makes for a cracking "anti-material rifle" for a Koenig Wolf or Saber Tiger that needs to look like it can take on a heavy-weight opponent.

Karl

[Philip Ayres]

See I have a Heavy Beam Cannon - thanks to owning the US Iron Kong - and it's bugged me no end. Fab to finally get some close up pics on the missing pieces.

The Republic set is almost as instructional showing quite how the Cannons attach to the Ultrasaur and DiBison.

[legios]

I'd had forgotten that the US IK came with the beam cannon piece. My IK is a stock NJR version, with the standard cannon. Not quite as stompy compared to the US version.

Karl

[Philip Ayres]

It it my imagination or are both the Beam Cannon and the backpack mounted on the Red Horn's rotating port?

[Philip Ayres]

I am typing this one handed.

The other is holding my Wardick

Yesterday I fondled two Guysaks.

I can't remember if we knew there was a clear purple Wardick.....

[legios]

I knew there had been a Holotech Wardick. I was not, however, aware that it had been clear purple........

Triumph and tragedy on the Zoids front today.

Firstly Redhorn's motor is dead :-(. It happens

Secondly Deathsaurer's tail snapped off. One of the pegs in his tail sheared straight across. :-( :-( :-(

Fortunately I have the peg and have removed the part and I think it's fixable. There's a groove down one side of the peg, large enough to slip a paper clip into. A small bore hole in the piece the peg has snapped off on should allow one to be sunk along the side of the peg to strengthen it to be glued......

Will report back.

Now the good news.

my Sabre Fang, who jettisoned a leg while in the loft about a year back lives and walks again! Even better, and thanks to the spare adaptors in the SalamanderBomberven, he walked across the living room earlier bearing the missiles and gun from my Iron Kong! I removed the scope screen from the gun and used the peg hole to attack the gun. Wouldn't want to leave it attached like that for long but just to see my Sabre Fang using them was a thrill.

And more..... my Gun Blaster walked for the first time ever today. It's always made a horrible grinding noise whenever I've tried to get it to walk before. I stripped it's guns off and let it have a wander and then rebuilt the weapons unit piece by piece. For one brief while it even walked across the floor with all it's cannons spinning before seizing up. What's happening is the rotary motion is forcing one cog on the weapon outwards till it locks the entire toy up. I'll have to strip it again, glue the cog into the tube it's working it's way out of and reassemble. Working it's fab in a "I've got a built in CP-03" type way. Not working it's a big pile of poo.

Jonathan meanwhile has been enjoying the Gustav's visit to the living room - one advantage of laminate floor is you can run Zoids on it - and has been running the Gustav round the room with various items on it's FOUR trailers (I acquired a spare Gustav some while back and have thieved it's trailers)

[legios]

You're running a Gustav with two full sets of trailers? That is a marvelous thought. (*sings* "I'M SETTING OUT ON MY JOURNEY THROUGH THE WASTELAND").

I can understand the joy at seeing a Sabre Tiger totting the big Beam Cannon. Actually you have inspired me, I must dig out by box of remaining Zoids from under the bed in the spare room and find some proper space for them out on the shelves. I've started to miss'em.

I hope you've stored them well. I'm seeing evidence that several of mine have not enjoyed their sojourn in the loft..... the cold does not agree with them as we well know from the Spider Man vs Zoids comic.

Oh my God.  He is actually called Wardick!

Just worked my way through the Zoids thread, and I though it was just Doc' and Phil being rude.

But no.  No no.  I owe Doc' and Big Phil a cyber-apology.  He is, indeed, called WARDICK!

WAR

DICK!


The next question is:


WHY IS THERE A ZOIDS FIGURE CALLED WARDICK!!!!!



Sounds like a mid-quality porn film!

[Philip Ayres]

Wardick

Guysak

Redhorn
Greenhorn
Darkhorn
Twinhorn

I'm sure we can find more.....

[Andy Turnbull]

You are aware there is also one called Guysack.

Madness.



But I like it.
