Takara Tomy has announced the 40th Anniversary Zoids Core Box project. There is no information on the expected price or release window. However, for reference, the 20th anniversary Zoids Core Box contained items like a re-run kit and the complete set of Battle Story. The name is also currently a tentative one. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
More information on what you can expect from this Zoids Core Box will come out in the near future. You can follow the official Zoids account via Twitter for the latest news. The 20th Anniversary Core Box came out in October 2003 and cost 15000 JPY at the time. Converting 15000 JPY now is around $100.30. But considering inflation and a different currency exchange rate, there’s a chance that the 40th Anniversary Zoids Core Box will have a different price.

Tomy first created the Zoids franchise in 1983. Zoids are giant mechanical animals and mythological creatures that can contain a pilot. They started out as model kits. However, there are several video games, manga, and anime series that spawned from the toy line. The most recent show is Zoids Wild, which originally ran from 2018 to 2019.
