    I did yes, But I thought it was starting to get excessive and far too exoensive. I also had a few things I needed to sort out in my life and selling off my collection helped fund certain things and I wanted to try other things that I was into way back in my early years for example RC. Model cars had been a thing of mine since forever and I honestly thought continuing with that would be cheaper and satisfy me but I guess I was wrong. Yes I acknowledge that I made a mistake selling off absolutely everything instead of keeping some stuff but now that lesson has been learnt. Even just today transforming the DX 1:48's was so much fun and its actually exciting to have a few Valkyries again considering its been a life long (since 1982) passion and I know I shouldn't have let go of it.

    that is an absolutely gorgeous Ducati!! Always loved the 999 but could never afford to have one.. I had two K6 GSXR 1000 which are the same as the K5 and yes they are the best bikes I've ever owned or ridden. My first one ended up becoming a track bike with some reasonable mods and I nearly went with the 16.5 inch wheels. Had better rad and oil coolers, better gearing, lighter and chain and sprockets, race loom, cams, port work, ohlins suspension internals front and rear, major weight reduction, better more adjustable slipper clutch, Brembo front calipers, super light weight lithium battery. It ended up not much over 150kg with oil, coolant and 5-6 litres of fuel. Major major regrets selling it. I once had a lot more cars and bikes but many of them were for the sake of collecting and I got to the point I wasn't enjoying it and sold almost all them. What I have now is stuff I actually really like. Yes I do still buy and sell but my collection pretty much follows the current theme.

    Not so much a fan of Star Wars so I don't have any of the ships.. I do like them though. Can't remember what brand the Enterprise is but it is the 1701A. Maybe the Undiscovered Country movie version..

    Can't really remember actually.. I've had her for a while now. Possible ebay? She's not actually tall.. the camera angle skewed the image a bit and that she's right up against the glass. She's about 20cm tall. Yeah they are my all time favorite plane and not just because of the name! LOL! Especially the second prototype with its cantered wings. A shame it was lost in a crash. I would absolutely love to see this thing in the flesh! Such an amazing machine!

    My one anime, sci-fi and aircraft display cabinet! Might have to pack some of the planes and girls away as it's already getting a little cramped..

    Thanks! Hehe! Too late! Kinda already has! Especially when paying so late for pre orders and excessively hiked up post release prices.. Thanks NY.. Thanks mate! Would certainly be nice to grow my Macross collection again to something reasonable but not to the extreme of what I once had..

    My DX YF-19 arrived this afternoon! I really missed having one of these! So so good to have another again! Gorgeous bird! From once having over 140 Valkyries and then to zero (pardon the pun) im now back up to three! And hopefully many more after that! There's a long long road ahead!
  20. spanner
    Thanks! Haha! Nahhh they were expensive as I got em from NY.. thanks! The shelves are starting to look much better with more Macross goodies on them again!
  21. spanner
    yeah I kept her as she was my favorite of all the Macross girly figures I had. She's photo bombing the photo too! Which wasn't even intentional! It is! And tomorrow I should have the DX YF-19! the two parcels were sent together but this one got help up in customs for a couple days for what ever reason..
  22. spanner
    My VF-1J arrived today! Its so good to have one again! Also checked the shoulder joints on Max, they are fine!
  23. spanner
    New graphic card for the gaming pc!
  24. spanner
    Yes! It was a huge amount to swallow, probably one of the most expensive single Valkyrie purchases I've ever made but it does look absolutely gorgeous! Annoys me that the original release was so far off the mark.
  25. spanner
    Looks pretty good! I had considered getting one of these but wasn't sure of the finish quality. What's it's like compared to the Minichamps cars?
