Blueeyes: It's one of the benefits of having had a childhood in the '80s. ;D But I think Zoidzilla is the same as Gojulas, both colourwise and stickerwise, isn't it?
Deathy: Storage... Heh, I've got piles of stuff... Modelkits, tools, scratchbuilding supplies... Really need more room. ;D

XD I have some room but it's a matter of avoiding mum's bitching that "I have too much Zoids"

Aha, I can see that. I had similar problems when I lived with my parents... Although it was not so much about room, but more about that I shouldn't spend all my money. Of course, I now still have the same problem except it's not my parents complaining.  |

Nah, NJR Gojulas is really different color-wise, it's more these funky slightly metallic shades of tan and grey. Zoidzilla is nicer!

But... He doesn't have green parts. I think you mean the greyish blue, i.e. the main body, claws, feet and such?

I update the OP, and added:
Blade Liger (NJR Korean)
Command Wolf Irvine (NAR)
Demantis (NJR)
Geno Saurer (NJR)
Maccurtis (NJR)
And a small anectdote on the above Zoids: They should really start installing seatbelts in these things! Both Van and Fiona as well as Irvine and Raven really get rocked around in those cockpits! ;D
Also, I wonder how the spotter-guy on the Demantis manages to stand there while in the heat of battle. And his poor compatriot maning the minigun there really needs to watch his head when spotter-man pulls his standing place down. ;D
More serious: I just love the Blade Liger! He's one cool Zoid. Irvines wolf looks great in those colours and Geno is wicked. Though I'm dissapointed his tail-flaps don't all open like they do in the animé. As for Demantis and Maccurtis, well... Demantis looks cool, while Maccurtis is kinda boring (when I bought them I thought it would be the other way around. I do like the different style of figures that come with them though.

I am rather disappointed about the Saurer/Breaker's tail flaps too. Though the Kotobukiya HMM Genos DO have them....

It's a drastically different colour scheme and has the original republic sticker sheet, whereas Gojulas has the new design. |

Slow shipping isn't always SAL I've noticed today. Sometimes it means stuff litteraly gets transported over sea. Just like in the old days.  So, today came a, litteraly, HUGE box from Honkey Kong... It's contents were well-packed (henche the huge box) for the voyage over sea which took about one and a half month... With the contents of the box in mind, the journey must probably have been a lot like the one Nosferatu made when traveling to England... but with a lot of fire instead of blooddrawing. I can imagine the chaos as one of the crewman accidentally opened up the box to peak inside, not knowing what slaughter he would unleash upon the ship. After that, probably only the ocean's currents guided the ravaged barge toward Rotterdam's harbour, unleashing impending doom upon the old world. As Fluttering from the breached hold comes a lone Storch followed by the stomping of many feet... Death Stinger sets to shore, followed by the dreaded Death Saurer. There is screaming, there is chaos... There is terror as I realize I'll need more shelfspace. And I haven't build them even yet. |

Just built him as well... Man, he's big! And he has a smooth steady walk, something I didn't expect as I had kinda Zoidzilla-like motion in mind. He did have issues with molding though. Not too bad all, but the pieces of his upper-arms needed some unexpected surgery (nothing horrid) to fit and be able to move as they were supposed to.
Deathy, I got him from Toy Wave for just under 30 USD. They still have more looks like, but the price is now (just a couple of dollars) higher.
I think Death Stinger has a gear-problem, as his pinchers sometimes go all wonky doing a quick short jab-like motion instead of doing their normal thing. I might have to open him up sometime for that to see what's wrong. And he is one Zoid that could do with a cooler paintscheme, as those happy Spiderman colours keep bugging me. I might actually just take his armourpieces and give him a decent desert-camo.
Storch is amazing, such a neat little Zoid! Really like him, and both his red and silver are practically the same as Krark's. They look really cool together. I might even swap his tan caps for black ones (once I have enough) to make the match complete.
