Oh man o_o
Its all making sense as to why the command wolf I ordered but then couldn't afford cost so much. The postage estimate was £15 or something, actual cost was closer to £30. If it hadn't been for that my first zoid would've been a HMM command wolf.
I'm looking forward to seeing him built :D

I contacted HLJ about this when HMM Geno Saurer came to me in the same way. They said that they can't stock a box size for every item they sell, and that they wouldn't cut the boxes down because it would make them less strong. It pissed me off because that box size meant that I had a £20 customs charge attached. Anyway ::WEBSITE UPDATES:: The reviews for all my OJRs are now officially up: RBOZ-006 DibisonRMZ-29 StorchRMZ-30 Double SworderAlso, I've rearranged the furniture a bit. I now have a links page so lemme know if you have a Zoids related Website you want me to link. A button isn't essential. And I have a new page linked in the Customs page for photos of WIPs |

I'm trying to avoid she/her as pronouns, can has a "their"?
And yaaaaay, Storch. That thingy's an airbrake as far as I know, it always seemed pretty random to me too.
I envy the Double Sworder. I've seen one in person, that blue is tasty.

If you want to be super duper annoyingly grammatically correct, they did create a gender-neutral pronoun = HU. That's right. For all stations. Instead of "He is cool, his stuff is cool, get to know him" or "She is cool, her stuff is cool, get to know her" you can say "Hu is cool, hu stuff is cool, get to know hu." XDD What "their" being a plural pronoun.
Me, I don't give a darn. Their all the way, but apparently the trigger happy lunatics want a singular, gender neutral pronoun.
</useless geekery>

Some of us want neuter pronouns because we don't identify with he or she. That's not trigger-happy, it's genderqueer and/or neutrois :p. www.aetherlumina.com/gnp/If you really wanna go geeky! I prefer the Spivak set out of the main three, since it's like a modded singular they. Alas, singular they, you USED to be correct and should be again if "you" can get away with being both plural and singular. On the other hand, I am slightly derailed by sie/hir, since my brain reads it as the German sie... |

What's wrong with your gender?  I only hid mine for so long because I didn't want sex-happy men stalking me. So what if I'm not a pink, frilly, dress-donning, made up doll? That doesn't change my gender any. Don't identify with he or she? ... well here's a clue. Look in your pants. Do you have balls? Yes? You're a he. No? You're a she. That wasn't so hard, was it? XD |

t-vox.org/index.php?title=GenderqueerDon't tell other people how their gender identity works. It's really not on. (Also, sex and gender are completely different things. Despite what craptastic high school biology classes claim, neither are binary.)

oh snap. You're right about the gender/sex thing, sorry. XD
Though in all reality, I started that on myself when I was in kindergarten... because I thought "I shouldn't SAY that three letter word! ... uh... Mom, what is another word for she or he thingy?"
I still don't get what's so horrible about just going with he or she. You're the one so against stereotypes, so why should you care what the stereotype for female or male, and the pronoun labels that come with it? I sure as heck don't ACT like a girl or FEEL like a girl (except for these (not really) large rather cumbersome things on my chest), but I'm not going around saying "Don't call me a she! Call me a hu/it/hie/zie/ey!" It just makes life so needlessly complicated. But you do seem to like complicating things so maybe that's why.

Well, comparisons twixt male and female genitalia do generally run in the area of risqué  Perhaps Ghostie needs to set up an 18+ sub-forum  |

 *Proceeds to slap everyone into submission* Anyway, arguments aside, I have changed it, mostly because it don't make a blind bit of difference to me whether it's he, she, they or even it. On that note: Zoids 2 Red Horn is now up! |
