Yes, Volumes 0, 1, & 2 and as a fan I can highly recommend all three of them! That was a tremendous guess you made btw!
edit - after closer inspection the bike that daBlah posted is slightly different (way more pointier) than the way it is actually shown in Vol. 0

That is correct, the concept/design was featured in Festival Times and referred to as: Lost Possibility Megazone 23 – Special Contents: Concept of New Megazone. It's from c. 2008 and planning at the time: Keisuke Hirota and the mechanical design: R-AREA.
It features:
The Crossline Garland (has wheels for feet)
Army Garland GR-II (featured in above post but in army green vs. traditional colors)
Strike Garland (blue and white version with armor parts)
Garland 1+1 (unique 2-seater garland)
Moto Flagger (an updated flagger that looks like a Madox-01 flying head that turns into a motorcycle)
Sport Garland (looks like a crotch-rocket, think Kawaskai Ninja meets MZ23)
Maneuver Slave B-Type (updated Hargun from pt. I)
Maneuver Slave A-Type (updated Hargun from pt. II)
Maneuver Slave C-Type (maybe updated Hargun pt. III ?)
Special Ghost Harland (highly stylized VF-27 lucifer-like: plane/quadruped/robot)
Mystery Garland (looks like a cross from Maximilian from Black Hole and a re-imagined cylon)

Just wanting to add this to this thread like before...another holy grail MZ23 item. This is a pre-colored GR-2 Garland from MZ23 Part II also designed by Hiroshi Imizu. Like the previous Garland from page 3 of this thread that he did, it is very small (1/48 scale), and usually sells for upwards of $400-$500 if you can find one and was only available at the 2019 Wonder Festival.

This sums up my feelings towards my ownership of the Freeing E=X Garland...

Easter egg discovery - took the cover off the Megazone 23 artbook (discussed earlier in this thread) that came with the Megazone 23 Complete Box set and lo and behold hidden on the reverse side unfolds a huge 26.5"x 11" poster of a peculiar looking Garland. Perhaps most notable is the exposed front disc brakes and calipers (huge departure from the original line art). It has the silver front axle shoulders and forearm handles with no side view mirrors like the original Garland. But then has the back-calf flaps of the Proto-Garland (but in silver instead of bronze), and front brown knee-cap/shin armor (again like the original), but then overall shares some resemblance with the proportions of the E=X Garland!
While I was at it, here's the 6 Garland's featured on the cover of the book...
As mentioned, this is the only difference from the "Manuever Book" released separately and the one included in the box set.

I was able to buy the pegged swingbars from VF5SS on Shapeways and now looking for any spare shoulder replacement parts. I just need one.
Please PM if you have any whole parts of halves.
Thanks,
Bobby

so....slightly off topic, but I was at the pet store with my kids just looking around and turned the corner and saw these two birds just chilling in their cage and thought, "Hey, that looks like..." well, you know what I thought.

Same here...it really grew on me as well and I'm very much looking forward to it!

Getting excited for more releases!!!

This is probably obvious but just a tip for searching on any of these proxy buyers. You will discover (if you haven't already) that english won't work unless it's a call sign or model number ( for ex. AV-98 ). You can use Wikipedia or anime database since they usually have the Katakana or Kanji spelling for the series at the very beginning of the entry so just copy and paste in search bar of your preferred proxy buyer and "voila!" ...hundreds if not literally thousands of results for acquiring your favorite toy/series/mech/book/etc and...

Honestly, I don't know how else you'll come across them AND it be with a seller who's willing to ship international ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are some really cool lego builds (vol.2) and unique art in them I've never seen anywhere else (like Bahamote B.D Coffee Vending Machines - vol.1). Even one of our forum's VF-2SS gurus, SAVE, had an ad in one for his website otaku2.com (now defunct) in a fun, McDonalds-esque style, promoting a MegaMac 2 sandwich
