Definitely could use comparative pics, if possible. Thanks for sharing the info!

I'll start one... but it'll cost you one 1/48 per session... 407845[/snapback] By George EXO is onto something here! Ahem, at the 1/48 clinic we can cure you of your Valkaholicism! When we are done you won't even have one left! Introductory sign up special, we also can help all you JMaholics find a cure too!

P, didn't notice it was a wallscroll. I thought it might be an actual poster which I've never seen before. Oh and I didn't search for posters at AX; hate carrying that damn poster tube unless there is a guest I really wanted an autograph for. Might look around in new Chinatown sometime. Thanks.

They did seem to dumb down the Dinobots pretty bad starting with the movie. I found Wheelie far more annoying though. 279981[/snapback] " Me Grimlock no kisser! Me Grimlock king!" I prefer that arrogant SOB Grimlock from the comics & 1st season of Transformers that used to challenge Optimus for leadership. Eventhough the dumbed down Grimlock was pretty funny. I heard in the movie when Grimlock yelled, " Me Grimlock love to kick butt!" It was originally kick ass! 407450[/snapback] Classic! Great quotes!

Anyone have news on Bandai releasing anything new? Hope springs eternal.

Oooh, that sounds promising, but I'd like to see a blue either sky or camo sea version.

The Thunder hummer would require retooling, while a repaint.....just needs paint 383768[/snapback] True, but Yamato has to realize there is strong demand for this. If the GBP and this came out at the same time with or without the valk, I'd still get the ThunderHummer.

So now that the floodgates are fully opened: the LV v2, the Stealth, the SuperStealth, and the Zero are all released... how are you guys coping? Does anyone expect a gaggle of new items or reissues soon? Thoughts?

Great poster! Mind sharing where you obtained it from and how much? Thanks!

Damn! Those are sweet! I wished they'd reissue them already! AlphaHenshin_RBtech, your collect looks great! If you ever need to raise cash, lmk!

What value? I thought the Low VizI was at sale due to stock clearance 407569[/snapback] If so, I need to buy a ton to make a squadron!

Then I hope you chain that LV to your desk somehow!

Love it, we need a squadron of those! Loving the chunkies. Btw, has anyone ever repainted a chunkey to LV colors? Got one? Post please! Thanks!

And oils too they spread... damn. You got guts to leave the collection in the kitchen!

Yum, JM goodness!

Damn! How much did you pay for that? Please tell me you have it insured!

Ok, since some of you are gutsy enough to bring 1/48s to work anyone here ever bring a LV to work?

Man those pics keep looking better and better! I hope mine arrives this month soon!

Damn I wish mine would just show up already! Sigh, patience.

You know, it's the damnedest thing about the moisture in my house, I sometimes think it's because I keep the windows in those rooms closed all the time that they get the moisture. Maybe they get moisture because the temperature outside is cold and the house is pretty toasty inside and it causes a condensation effect? Clearly I'm just pretty clueless about it. The windows are double-paned and seem to make a great seal when closed but the closet is in pretty close proximity to one. As a result of my discovery I placed all my most valuable boxes in a plastic tote with a desicant package. As an experiment I put a ton of MPCs in a big garbage bag and taped it sealed shut and left that in the closet where the old cardboard box was. Side note, my biggest fear about earthquakes won't be the stuff I have stored (unless there's a fire) but rather all my display cases! Man, if those took a tumble it'd suck but I think the more realistic problem would be that the toys would fall over, bump the door open, and then fall to the floor. 407192[/snapback] I keep my windows closed 100% of the time and I don't even have the doublepaned windows like you do. However, I think one reason why I might not have your situation is due to the fact my closet is cold. Not refrigerator cold, but it's one of the cooler rooms b/c I don't let the outside sun come in and I keep the bathroom door shut if I use the shower to avoid steam buildup. Window blinds help but I don't recommend drapes b/c in my experience, it just cooks the room. If you can relocate the items to a part of the building that has zero direct sun, it should help avoid moisture build up. As such, if your main storage is near say the bathroom, kitchen or a mixture of natural light sources that affects the temperature ... I'd consider finding a way to regulate the temperature inside that specific storage room. Have you run temperature and humidity tests yet? Try visiting a wine store and getting one of those readers for moisture and temperature build up. As for earthquakes well you know that display cases need to be firmly secured with brackets. So when the earthquake does occurs the entire case will not land on you or your loved ones. Once secured, the items inside at most will get rattled and I imagine only crushed if something else falls on it and/or the roof or floor collapses. Both are possibly scenarios during a large fire, but at the point in time, I hope you'd be safely away and not concerned about the cases or toys within.

Looks interesting, but still not a fan of the camo.

Interesting, are your windows the older metal ones and not the doublepane glass ones? Also the proximity of the window to your closet will definitely affect the temperature in the closet. From my experience putting the items you want protected as far away from the windows or any open light source helps. Yes, at times I've even experimented with covering all the windows and seeing how it helps, to be honest it does help preserve the toys better. However, given how we are in the bay area, I'd be more concerned with protecting items in secure boxes as much as possible for the next large quake.

Definitely a nice Ostrich! Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing!

Great work Mowe! Keep it up, looking forward to seeing more!

Wow impressive! Any updates?
