So what should I build next? The only model kits I have left now are Epyon, Wing Zero, Genosaurer, and RX-93 (Ver. Ka).
I'd love to add a Gojulas to my collection, but at $219.59 retail for the original blue kit and $284.51 for the upcoming desert kit, it's simply too far beyond my model kit budget. Right now the original blue Gojulas kit is being resold at around $500, so that's WAY out of my reach. :< I was already stretching it with $120 each for my Blade Liger and Genosaurer (both of which are out of production so I got pretty good deals on them).

Oh you.
I was being serious. You get a box of parts and assembly instructions, so the underlying concept is the same as building a model.

I don't have money or space for a model like that.

Doesn't change the fact that I would find it entertaining to watch you build it.

Rather interesting that this model kit has a clear cover for its face. Never encountered that in a mech kit before.
I'm lovin' how very Cybertronian this part looks. Working on the bust now.

It's rather amusing that Kotobukiya decided to make this pilot composed of 4 pieces. Usually the pilot is in one piece since it's not like you're going to pose the darn thing once the Zoid is complete (since the pilot will be inside). Weird design decision.

Every part of this build looks so cool.
Bust looks like a Cybertronian motorcycle.

Decepticon!
So many tail parts.
And done with the tail!
Combined the bust with the tail. It was really tricky since I had to deal with cables in this build. ><

Gun cannons were a pretty quick build.

These claws are a bit TOO sharp as I ended up scratching myself a few times while putting the arms together. Ouch. x__x

Finally done!
More pics in spoiler.
The first and last time the purple Geno Saurer was made available was back in December of 2007. Since then, the Raven Version Geno Saurer has seen one re-release, but the original purple Geno Saurer remains out of production. I'm not a fan of the Raven version of the Geno Saurer as I feel the red and dark blue coloration doesn't suit this particular Zoid. Geno Saurer looks much better with the original black and purple coloration compared to the Raven version, but I guess sales indicated to Kotobukiya that the Raven version is much more popular. I'm just very lucky someone was willing to sell one for $120 even though the kit's been out of production for years.
With that, I no longer have any more Zoids to build unless Kotobukiya decides to come out with a Raynos kit. The original blue Gojulas is WAY out of my price range, so I'm givin' up on ever getting that. The only unbuilt model kits I have left now are Epyon, Wing Gundam, and RX-93 (Ver. Ka). I might consider getting the 2011 Tallgeese redesign just to finish off the Endless Waltz Redesign collection I already have going.

Nice collection! 
How about Xenogears and Pacific Rim? Is there any?

Not a Xenogears fan, so don't know if model kits exist for them.
Pacific Rim only has action figures, no model kits at all. I would love to get Jaeger model kits if they exist.

For all Gundam kit enthusiasts out there, if you're in need of spare parts, I highly recommend this service here.
https://facebook.com...placementparts/
Bandai only sends replacement parts to Gundam hobbyists in Japan, but this tiny startup that's based in Japan is willing to send replacement parts to hobbyists all over the world. With their help, I was able to replace a part on my MG Epyon without having to buy a brand new kit.
Keep in mind that because this group is tiny, sometimes order forms get lost in the cracks. I was one of those lost forms, but I messaged them on Facebook and they were able to find my order form and process my request quickly. They're really good at helping you get replacement parts as long as you're patient with them. They're obviously getting overwhelmed by everyone, but they'll help you out if you're willing to work with them.

Came across a fellow model kit enthusiast who's really good at building customized Zoids using Gundam parts.
Tumblr
Which brings me back to this other model kit enthusiast I discovered back on deviantART who did a kick-ass centaur Unicorn Gundam.
deviantART
He has some work in progress photos in his gallery if you're curious to see how he modified the kit.
