and I was! But I'm back. Sorta. Just figured I'd post this since yeah. I came home from school today, to find out that my mom had accidentally knocked over one of the levels of my shelf. Which shelf, you may ask? THE HMM SHELF D: Which had the good zoids. Why couldn't she accidentally knock over one with model kits on it, noo... the one with a HMM Black impact, HMM Blue Souga, HMM Command Wolf, and then my custom Midnight. Here is the shot of what I came home to.  D: After much gluing of broken things and piecing together and hacking, this is what its back to.  Now I just need to fix the numerous scratched areas, and make pegs for things that used to have pegs but do not have any now.. D: Oh well. An update~ How is everyone else doing..? lol. |

Egads, I hate it when people hit zoids. I'd take the motorized zoids being knocked over an HMM though... x.x The motorz are surprisingly sturdy.... My HMM Mirage needs a gluing eventually, but he stands well enough so I have been putting him off. XD;
Glad to see you have HMMs! No zoid collection is complete without at least one HMM!

Ouch yea. Knight Lupus, my Hasbro Command Wolf (first zoid, too) was knocked from a four foot high perch and pulled a Zabimaru, falling all to pieces... He didn't actually break anything save for a split in his shoulder piece. I can't even imagine the havoc that would bring to the fragile, much more finicky HMM. DX And it's gotta be worse repairing them because there's sooo many pieces.  They look well repaired though, at least from the pictures. How long did it take? Hours? XD; |

Ack, HMM Zoids are the worst to knock off by accident... D: (and also the worst to try and clean of dust... need to find sheltered display spaces for mine :S )

Yeah, I hate dusting them.. I'm afraid to use compressed air because it'll like get under the armor and peel it off.. XD;

Should try and get a pane of clear plastic glass or something and screw it over the shelf space XD Though my shelves are "open" (no backs, no sides, just the bottom).

Good display shelves that won't obscure the Zoids are damn hard to find around here. The "store style" as I call them, are well over 1000 bucks. Don't think I'll be getting proper display cases for some time til I can afford asking a plastic fabricator to build a perspex case like those Diecast car cases you see on ebay. Already had the measurments and stuff planned out.

Yeouch. Reminds me of the time Electric knocked HMM Geno Saurer off the shelf. Jammy git put it back together again without instructions. I wouldn't have even known it happened at all if he hadn't told me.
