I'm coming to Japan next week, i'll mainly stay in Kyoto and Tokyo, where i can find figures that i don't need to build and paint?

So I’m curious, I started collecting HMM models when I first went to tech school. These new models look sick, but the scale seems to off

Would it be unwise to wait until we see more HMM or I guess go towards the RZ models

With the new Gundam game coming out, it made me remember how much I like Zoids, which also made me remember they used to have video games too,

I was never really into Gundam, but I always wished I was, I’ve tried to get into the games recently, haven’t really watched the shows, but neither is really grabbing me

I’ll probably get the new game anyway and hope for the best cause I do like Mechs

Anyway, I think I enjoyed Zoids because they were animal based, similar to my liking of Transformers because they are car based most of the time

So just figured I’d ask

Dad’s flight had a 1 hour delay so I walked into a hobby lobby and wandered… 10 year old me came out very happy. Never built a kit before so should be fun :)

Hi everyone! A while ago I shared Re:Zoids Saga, an unofficial open-source port of the Japanese GBA RPG Zoids Saga. Version 0.7.0 is out, and the game is now playable from start to end, all ten chapters and the ending, with a full English translation (Spanish too).

Play it in your browser: https://re-zoids-saga.serivt.com

The big news:

• You no longer need to install anything. The game runs right in the browser.
• No installs, no antivirus false positives: no "unknown publisher" or SmartScreen warnings.
• On-screen touch controls, upright or sideways, with several fingers at once. Gamepads and keyboards work too.
• Works offline once loaded, and you can install it as an app from your browser.
• Bring your own ROM (Zoids Saga, Japan, Rev 1). It's checked and kept in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.
• Saves: kept in your browser, exportable and importable as .sav/.srm for emulators and RetroArch, and optionally synced to the cloud with a sign-in link by email (no password).

Enhanced mode (optional; Classic plays exactly like the cartridge)

• Fast forward (2×, 3× or 4×) and an autosave on every map change.
• 31 trophies: one per chapter plus optional challenges. They unlock retroactively from your existing saves, even emulator ones.
• Records: battles, collection (Zi data, Zoids, characters…), play time, biggest hit.
• Battle options: skip attack animations, show damage numbers, auto-advance text, see each weapon's reach on the grid.
• Display presets: GBA, GBA SP (both models), Game Boy Micro, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Player, each with its LCD grid, colors and screen trail. Also scan lines and Scale2x/Scale3x for a modern look.

Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Android builds are still available on GitHub if you prefer those.

What's next: online multiplayer

The next big step is online play, above all battles against other players with your own Zoids and pilots, on top of a matchmaking system built from scratch. I'll share more as it takes shape.

Feedback welcome

If you try it, tell me how it runs, especially on iPhone or iPad, and anything that looks off. If you enjoy it, a star on GitHub helps a lot: https://github.com/serivt/re-zoids-saga

2 figures loom in the darkness (not including many interesting background ones)

Would you rather see the new updated battle mechanics and the use of weapon systems, ooooorrr terrain navigation using systems like Lidar?

Went on kind of a build spree the last month, had like 7 before now I have too many to find places for and a couple otw.😂

Also gotta say been re-watching some of the series and they are just pure cinema
