I'm pre-ordering tomorrow when I get my paypal set up, I'm a little hesitant knowing what the cost is probably going to be but if I pay for the model now and shipping later, I won't feel so bad. xD Car... luckily my dad didn't yell at me, he just looked really angry and I don't have to get it fixed until inspection later this coming year! yay! That sucks your car got sold Shadow -_-, parking here at my college is only 6 dollars for the year, then again I'm a commuter and have to walk a quarter to half mile to and from the buildings 'cause all the lot's are on the rim of the campus. It's not so bad, I'm just not looking forward to Jan. and Feb. when it's really cold outside. Congrats on the car Deathy! Cars= Freedom, sort-of,  then again so does college. |

You could also go to toy-wave, www.toy-wave.com/eng/detail.php?id=11020&table=337They're a little cheaper, though I'm not sure if a difference in shipping charges makes up for the price difference. I've never ordered anything from Japan before. ^^; The only catch is you have to pay for the item when you submit your pre-order unlike at HLJ, where you pay when HLJ is ready to ship it to you. Oh and he's coming out at the end of the month so hurry! or you'll miss the pre-order price, I have a feeling the price on this guy is going to explode when released. -_- Has anyone else seen the box art for this guy? It looks to be a real beauty! Except I think Schwarz's name may have become the victim of Engrish. |

For a place like HLJ, the pre-order price is the same even when it comes into stock. The only pre-order discount you get with them is the Early Bird discount which only lasts for a few weeks right when the item first comes on pre-order. HLJ only purchase direct from the supplier, so as long as the supplier still has them to send, the price should remain the same til HLJ run out of stock. For Toy Wave, I'm not so certain about any pre-order discount, but I know that they do buy from sellers other than the supplier so the price might go up in that case! Ooh, I haven't seen it yet Hmm, as for the name I think Schwarz is Karl's actual Japanese surname, whereas Shuboltz is the English version. |

@ghostie- about the name, the box art I saw was small but from what I could make out the name may have been spelled Schwalz instead of Schwarz, I hope I'm wrong.... It was in one of the hobby magazines. *works on getting a scan*  Here is a picture of the box art, small but the best I could do, from HJM courtesy of Zoidspoison. It's so hard to find zoids scans! I think ZP is the only one that has them! And according to this box it won't be a limited so you're right, prices probably won't climb. Wonder what the insignia in the upper left corner is? |

Schwalz is better than Shubaltz, but d'oh XD. That box is great otherwise, I love the scene...slightly odd perspective and all. Those look like Roadskippers or sommat in the background!

You got me worried there for a second... when you said Toy wave had them in I thought you meant actually had them in stock. If that was so then it meant that HLJ would be sending me a payment request soon and I can't actually afford to get it til I get paid next week ^^; But thanks for sharing the box art! It's awesome! I think when mine comes in I might just do what Shadow Blade did and stick the picture on the wall ;D ..... If Electric let's me! |

I've survived to 22 with no car and plan to avoid them as long as possible. No drivers' license, either, just ID n' passport.
I'm a freak, I know :p.
(edit) wtf, I swear it was showing the car thing as most recent posts when I clicked o_O. Sorry for the non-sequitur post, there.
Looks like people on ZP are getting them in too...I really wanna see the box art all up-close...r. So I can tell what those Roadskipper-looking things are.
