I'm just curious to see if any of you guys have made mistakes you regret while collecting zoids. Such as not buying a kit and later having it come back to bite you. And have you ever gotten a killer or unheard of deal on a zoid? Let's hear about it!
I have two regrets, both regarding Liger Zero CAS's
1. When the zoids line was discontinued in America and zoids were on sale, I was at Toys R Us and spied the zoids on the clearance rack. I went over and behold there was a Liger Zero Schinieder kit, that TRU exclusive one that had tan armor instead of white, for 6 dollars. I was really excited, knowing the CAS's had never been released in America. Well then I got to register and it rung up at 16 dollars, my mother argued with the cashier that it was marked at 6 dollars not 16, in the end we left it. Now I wish I would have argued with my mother to get it, seeing how rare they are now.
2. My family and I went to Washington DC for vacation, and a mall near our hotel had an anime store in it. They had a Panzer CAS for 20 dollars, I didn't buy it because Panzer was my least favorite of the armors. Later that year, amazon had it again for 20 dollars, should have bought it...
My one and only steal, I think, was the mint Shadow Fox I just bought for 20 dollars.

I regret not getting this killer lot deal on eBay. >_< It had TONS of zoids, for so little, I still want to cry. I'm serious. >_>;
Mehehe, I did go crazy when Zoids came to my Dollar Tree. I got three Diloforces, two demantises, two glavis quamas (one of DM and one of GQ are with Ghostie now. X3), one megaleon (or chameleor), one grounchar, and one maccurtis. Each a dollar. I regret not getting more. XD

Heh I don't have any regrets on not getting zoids when there was a good deal, but I do regret not getting a Soundwave shirt when it wasn't on sale  I think my best zoid deal was my Saber Tiger. 5$ off eBay with free shipping XD Was missing some caps and the clear eye pieces, but that was no problem. |

*steals a quama from celticzoid* Wish I could get a hold of one of those. For some odd reason I really like them.
Wish my Dollar store had zoids, they had pokemon cards once a long time ago.
Nice Shadow, even free shipping! I do that all the time with clothes, I'll see something I like then figure I'll buy it later, and then it's gone.
Oh another one, when zoids was going out again, I neglected to pick up a 12 dollar Hasbro Energy Liger, but by that time I was out of zoids so I didn't really bother me.

Yea, see now, if I knew the Quama was going to be such a hit, I would've bought DT out when they had them! And to think, I'm a believer of fair trades, I'd give a Quama for a bunch of big-zoid-caps.  (Seriously, I feel guilty having unbalanced trades. Eve only knows how many times I was the victim of a heavily unbalanced trade. XD; ) But now I only have one left (THAT YOU STOLE! lolXD), :/ I really should've gone zoidhappy at my store. |

Eve only knows how many times I was the victim of a heavily unbalanced trade. XD; ) That's why I felt better giving you Red and those Fuhrer Blades too! Let's see... one of my biggest Zoids regrets? Not hopping onto the ZP MO when they were doing the Shield Liger Commander SPs... That's gonna bug me for the rest of my life! My best steal? A fully complete (and in perfect condition) Zoids2 Iron Kong from a boot sale for 50p! |

Okay, I'm fairly sure I know what it is, but I don't want to be wrong... What's a boot sale? Is that where people get a bunch of stuff out of their attics and sell it? (Yard or garage sale here, which I find silly, they're hardly ever in garages, and I've seen yardsales in parking lots and on the street. I much prefer boot sale.) I'm going to prowl thrift stores tomorrow in desperate insane hopes of finding cheap zoids... or ANY zoids, really.  ; *coldsweat withdraw* |

I still slam my head into the table for not getting Gun Tiger and Saberlion when they were on two-for-one deal at Kmart! *thunk thunk thunk* dammit, I wanted them so bad... Once had regrets for missing out on a cheap KW but heh, that's gone now *dances* Also once had regrets for not accepting LZX when Giggles was sold out at Target. Regrets on those two are now gone as well :3 ahhh, it feels so good. Mah steals?? OH! Lemme see. 1. DCS-J for 55 buxs when most DCS-J's on ebay runs off for nearly 80 AUD total (inc p&h). 2. Zenebas Energy Liger for 25 AUD 3. Battlesaurus for nothing 4. Dark Spiner and RBL in a two-in-one deal 5. Berserk Fuhrer when it was on clearance for 25 buxs (mebbe less, I can't remember) 6. KW, LZX, Gunbluster, Cannoneer Gordos, etc in a HUGE LOT off ebay for 46 buxs massive steal. 7. CP-10 for 15 buxs from Melburnian Zoider 8. Liger Zero, Wardick and Spino (of whom is with Ghostie nao)... FREE!  Mebbe moar steals. Will update soon! ;D |

*boundBoundBOUND TRIP!* THRIFT STORE NOW MY FRIEND. i94.photobucket.com/albums/l87/Sagorambo/Zoids/0801200002.jpgBionicle dude for zoid flexing. I had part of the gundam in the heldigunner's bag, so I bought it to make it whole (or as whole as I can) so that a gundamer wouldn't get an incomplete model when I had parts of it. BTW, anyone here a gundamer? and what do you call a gundam fan? What gundam is it and what would you give me for it? XD Anyway... LOOK! Mostly there Fury! He's only missing the chin armour. Heldigunner's got it worse, but I've been wanting a heldigunner since I saw them in Classic zoids. XD I put off getting them to get the bigger zoids, but then couldn't get them but now I do! And guess how much for all that? SIX DOLLARS AND SOME CENTS. ~<3 *very happy* |

*Hands back Quama* Sorry, but he's just so cool!
Nice, I have to stop by one of my thrift stores, then. I can't wait until spring because then the flea markets start up and I have a feeling I may be able to find some zoids there. My brother loved Bionicles when he was younger so we have a bazillion of them lieing around the house, now all I need are zoids to joint. I did a Gun Sniper, but I just used caps and Fuzor ball joints for her. She's almost done, I'm just trying to figure out how to mount the boosters I stole from a Gundam on her back.
I really need a paypal so I can get onto ebay and pre-order Sabre Tiger from Toywave. Though I think I'll be getting one in a few days.

I wish we had fleamarkets here. Eve this place SUCKS. >_> *deletes way longer than needs to be rant* Aye he is! I kick myself for not getting more. *does so* Because so many zoiders are getting ripped off for Glavises when I got them for a dollar! *feels angry at injustice towards zoids fans* >_< End rant. |

I do believe it's called a Boot Sale cuz everyone usually parks their cars in a big field and sets up their stalls next to it, so it's like selling from your car boot. |

Ah, you saying about free Zoids suddenly reminded me... I got an entire set of Zoids Genesis Keychains for free when there was some cock up of one of my orders at Toy-Wave.
