OH MY GOD THAT SHADOW FOX @__@ where did you get that kit. i've been scouring Manila for Zoids kits but i only found prime colored ones T^T
I was lucky to snag Shadow Fox on Amazon.com for about $45, which is a little higher than its retail price of $38.50. Liger Zero retails for about $49.60, but the one I found is being sold for $70. Luckily Liger Zero is one of the more popular Zoids so I'm hoping its price will drop a bit. I caved and recently bought a Blade Liger for $120 (it retailed for about $58) since I've never seen the price drop below $115 as it's a discontinued kit. :< I'm currently on the hunt for the default Geno Saurer, which retailed for $67. But because it's discontinued, a lot of vendors I found are selling it for $150+. >< Jerks.
If you want to know the retail price for the Zoids kits, check out the manufacturer's site:
http://www.kotobukiy...ct-title/zoids/ They're always working on engineering kits for new Zoids, but they'll discontinue old ones if they're not selling enough. It won't say on each kit's page if they're discontinued or not, but you could find out by clicking the shopping cart button and seeing if it gets added to your cart. Zoids model kits are ridiculously hard to come by for the mere fact that the Zoids franchise as a whole is nowhere near as popular as Gundam so they're not widely sold outside of Japan. They're of similar difficulty to Master Grade Gundams, so be aware of that if you want to attempt them. They have a lot of TINY pieces, but are really detailed because of that. :U
have you seen the Barbatos Gundam kits lately? *o* i bought one (i forgot what its called) because it reminds me of Pacific Rim LOL (also that bishie pilot-- i'm starting to hate but-- hnggg)
Yeah, it does have more of a Pacific Rim feel to it than Gundam.
