I seem to recall also having a bigger generic brand Zoid knock off that was kind of cool (but not the real thing). <br /><br />They were great but I remember them being hard to get in our area (I was living in Germany back then) so none of my friends had them and they thus only made a brief impact on my childhood memories!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-39857823544741942502011-04-20T18:27:23.075+01:002011-04-20T18:27:23.075+01:00Haha, I had nearly all the small Zoids but I alway...Haha, I had nearly all the small Zoids but I always wanted the big ones too like Rhino and Zoidzilla :( I've still got the comics somewhere but either they were cut off and couldn't finish them or I missed that last few.

In fact, I'd rather play this than the original Space Invaders.<br /><br />@Sean for me it was always Zoids. I was so jealous of my mate for having a fine collection of Zoids, but never asked my mum for any because money was always really tight.StickHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222186359760273096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-2265656182931039042011-04-19T10:10:17.262+01:002011-04-19T10:10:17.262+01:00Haha, yes you're right, it's like you were...Haha, yes you're right, it's like you were saying recently in one of your posts - I've kept meaning to get one as I've wanted one for so long, but perhaps it's the childhood memories of wanting it so much that makes it appealing! :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-6013043680284813712011-04-19T01:17:56.038+01:002011-04-19T01:17:56.038+01:00Wow, that Astro Wars game looks pretty nice!
