Asking advice around selling DVDs

Hey all, I'm considering selling my 20 year old complete collection (region 4), and I'm a little unsure of some things, so I thought I'd ask some advice here.

I've seen a few of the chaotic century (1.1-1.9) for sale online anywhere between about $45-85 NZD each, but I haven't seen a single DVD from the guardian force era (1.10-1.16) anywhere. No idea what they would even be worth, they seem non-existent.

Just wondering if anyone had any insight into these ones in particular, cheers.

Zoids would have far more pop culture relevance if they had made a Saturday Morning Cartoon in the 1980's.

Given that Zoids is one of the toylines that came out in the 1980's and survives to this day, I am convinced a cartoon when the toys first came out would have given the franchise far more relevance in pop culture than it has now.

For example, Transformers owes much of its continued existance to the G1 cartoon which to this day is having toys made and iterations of the characters who debuted in it. Optimus Prime is a household name and everyone who has even the slightest of awareness of Transformers knows who Optimus Prime is. Every iteration of Transformers we have know would not exist if not for the G1 cartoon.

But Zoids sadly never had that, there was a UK Marvel comic and adverts on TV to promote the toys, but no cartoon to help promote the toyline and raise awareness and grow interest in the world and characters.

I think this is why the early 2000s anime have such a strong precense in the toyline even now, in the 1980's the Shield Liger was just another Zoid kit, but thanks to Chaotic Century it's by far one of the most iconic Zoids to exist.

Even with newer kits like the Blade Liger, Liger Zero, and the later Liger iterations, Shield Liger remains iconic.

Harsh Self Critic, Good or No?

These are the shoulder and thigh missile launchers for the Gun Sniper Lena, and I'm not sure if I should just repaint them black, or continue

Ultrasaurus manual

Does anyone happen to have a Ultrasaurus manual laying around or a digital copy ? I bought a complete assembled kit off EBay and the seller shipped it disassembled (more than expected) Assuming it’s a Hasbro US kit.
