Have you ever dreamed of building and managing your own zoo? Well now you can with Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game!

Build a zoo that focuses on marquee animals like Lions, Gorillas, or Elephants to attract and thrill guests. Or develop partnerships with National Parks on conservation and re-introduce endangered species back into the wild.

Strategically place food booths and gift shops to satiate guests, while generating revenue to help keep your zoo growing and thriving. The more money you generate, the more options you have at your disposal to create the zoo of your dreams!

With 35 different species (most of them represented by 230 beautiful animal meeples), you have an abundance of options from which to select your favorite animals. But selecting animals is only the beginning! Just like in real life, each amazing animal will require unique care to meet their individual needs. Carefully balance group and enclosure sizes, social composition, and guest proximity, to try and achieve the right balance between animal and guest happiness. Happiness will play a particularly important role in animal reproduction, and new animal options for addition to your zoo.

Play your cards right, and you may find your animals having offspring! This is important for conservation projects but also a great source of popularity. However, it must not be forgotten that a place must be available once they get older.

With our “zoo in a box” – watch the zoo of your dreams come true, right in front of you!

Gameplay

In Zoo Tycoon the board game, 1-4 players compete to build the most successful zoo. In this strategic and thematic board game, each player has the freedom to develop their own zoo with 35 species, food booths, zoo shops, etc. Each animal has its own care requirements focused on 3 key areas - popularity for visitors, educational value, and nature conservation. As with zoos in real life, players must find the right balance between popularity and conservation over the course of the game. In the end, the lower value between those two measurements will count as your final score.

Each game you play will be different, delivering high replay value. Thanks to a novel game mechanism, the animal market with supply and demand changes continuously. In addition, small events will shape the gameplay in every round.

About Us

PBM Express USA has been in the business of putting smiles on people's faces for many years now. We specialize in statues and figurines based on popular videogames like Zelda, SuperMario, Sonic, Dark Souls and many others. We also have a large range of figures and toys based on the popular Manga series from the 70s  Grendizer (Goldorak) and MazingerZ. And finally we carry a large selection of popular and hard-to-find boardgames.

We guarantee 100% satisfaction, If you are not happy with your purchase we offer free returns. All our products are 100% genuine, licensed and purchased from the manufacturer directly. No fakes. Certificates of authenticity are always included if they are part of the statue. Please also read the thousands of positive feedbacks and reviews left by our customers, many of which are repeat customers.

We ship 99% of the time within 24 hours. In many cases we allow free local pickups. However, other than a boardgaming store, we do not have physical stores, but rather work with 3rd party fulfillment centers, that do allow pickups for statues. If you are in the Central Florida region we can arrange for you to pick up boardgames locally.

Payment

When you buy an item from us, payment is due immediately. Ebay does not allow for 'payment plans' or 'split payments' (yet)

That said, we can wait a few days if that helps, but more than 3-4 days is not possible.

If you are looking for credit the only option right now that I am aware of is a payment plan offered by Paypal (depending on your credit also) or your credit card itself.

Shipping

We pride ourselves on our fast shipping times, usually 24 hours (1 working day) after you place your order. Tracking is updated in your ebay purchase order automatically, so you can follow your item on its journey to you. If you do not see movement of your item within 2 days please let us know right away and we'll investigate.

Domestically we use USPS, UPS or Fedex at our discretion. USPS is a Priority Service and Fedex and UPS are normally Ground services, although you can opt to upgrade those to Priority or Express services. To see the shipping cost to your location click on 'see details' in the listing.

If you have a PO Box, you can only use USPS. UPS and Fedex do not deliver to PO Boxes.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Ebay currently uses the ebay International shipping program (eIs) but a lot of the statues are excluded from the program due to the size of the boxes. In many cases I can still ship them with UPS but the cost of shipping has to be determined on an individual basis. Each statue and each country are different. If you are trying to purchase an item and your country is not on the shipping list, send me an email and I can calculate it for you.

As an alternative to this what seems to work for a lot of international buyers is the use of a freight forwarder, such as Planet Express, Parcel Monkey, Aramex or MyUS. There are many such companies in the USA. We would ship to the local drop point (domestic) of your freight forwarder and they would handle the international part of it. Depending on the item you can choose a drop point close to our warehouse in Long Beach, CA (zip 90805), Houton, TX (zip 77054) or Clermont, FL (zip 34711). In those cases, the domestic cost of the shipment would be very low.

Also, you can clear the item through customs yourself.

If you are interested in this, please contact the freight forwarder of your choice and open an account with them. They will provide you with a US shipping address for all your purchases as well as shipping rates.

Please send us an email if you need to know the weight and dimensions of an item.

What is the status of my shipment?

You can track each individual item on ebay.com. Go to 'My eBay' and then click on 'Purchase History' and each item will list a tracking number which if you click it will show the latest known status. 

Can I change my address after I placed the order?

Because of ebay regulalations I can only ship it to the address you used during check out. If that is not a good address I will have to cancel the transaction and refund the money and you will have to repurchase the item again and use the correct address this time. 

I am not home when Fedex/UPS normally delivers the items. Can you change the address or redirect it to a Fedex store?

The Fedex/UPS account I use belongs to Ebay so I cannot change anything relating to the shipments. After 3 failed delivery attempts Fedex/UPS will hold the item in its local hub for up to 10 days before returning it. You can call the local hub and make arrangements to pick up the item during that period. 

Do you offer combined shipping on multiple items?

Yes we do combine shipping. Just add all items to your cart and click 'Request Total from Seller' and "Comnmit to Buy". This does not always work on the ebay mobile app. In case it does not work there, please try it on a pc. After I receive the request I will send an invoice with the total combined shipping charges. Then you can pay. If you do not like the deal I will cancel it without a problem. This is the most efficient way to do it. 

As for statues due to their size I cannot combine those in 1 package. The box would also be too big and heavy and it would actually increase the risk of damage as these large boxes are difficult to handle. Thanks for your understanding.

My item is lost in transit, can you help?

Rarely items get lost, but if it takes too long shoot us a message. Also check with your neighbors or front office to see if the item was accidentally delivered there. We can put in an inquiry with the shipper to see if they can locate the item. All items are covered 100% against loss and damage in transit.

I would like to pick up my item, what do I do?

Other than the gaming store in Clermont, we do not have physical stores. We work with 3rd party warehouses in Long Beach, CA and Sturtevant, WI and they do allow pickups. Depending on the item I can arrage for pickups there. And all boardgames (only!) can be picked up in Clermont, FL. If you are interested in a Local Pickup and the item does not have this option available in the shipping section of the listing, let me know and I will fix it.

After the purchase you will be directed to the warehouse where you will have to identify yourself with your driver license and you will be handed the statue. You CANNOT inspect it. These are a 3rd party independent warehouses so all they do is they store my inventory and ship it out. They are not part of my company. If there are any issues you will have to communicate with me. 

After the purchase please provide the 6-digit code ebay provides you and I will give you instructions on how to collect the item from the warehouse.

General FAQ

What is the edition number of the statue?
The statues are stored in a 3rd party warehouse in Long Beach, CA or Sturtevant, WI. I am located in Florida. So unfortunately I cannot give you the edition # until after the statue ships.

Are the statues genuine?
We are an official dealer of First4Figures and all other companies we deal with. You can check their website. All our statues come directly from F4F by seacontainer. They are factory sealed and have the Certificate of Authenticity. So no worries the statues are genuine. Please also read my feedback.

Can I have a picture of the actual statue or the shipping box?
The statues are stored in a 3rd party warehouse in Long Beach, CA or Sturtevant, WI. I am located in Florida. So unfortunately I cannot make pictures of it. Also 99% of the statues I sell are factory sealed straight from F4F China and I would not open the box to take pictures. I can provide the edition number after it ships. Please check our feedback also if you are on the fence. We have a lot of happy customers.

Can you inspect the statue?
No the statues are factory sealed and we do not open the box to inspect them or take pictures.

Is your item new?
Yes unless clearly stated otherwise, all items are brand new and in factory sealed packaging.
