Hi Kanata, Have you considered www.collectiondx.com? It's FREE and the folks who run it are great. :-) 340083[/snapback] I got this requirement while trying it out... "2-5 photographs of your collection, in .JPG format. The image size should be no larger than 500 pixels wide, and be no more than 40k in size. " problem is even croped low res I'm well above 40k. Maybe 400k I could do but not 40. I want a red carded boot to looking at it. Is it better than the el-cheapo all plastic with the blue boosters? The el-cheapo isn't even good for parts a grey taiwan... damn... yet another one I need. I do not believe anything is currently in production besides "possibly" the galaxy defender and the carded ones. As for overpaying for a joon's... you probably are. I started collecting bootlegs because there was no way I could afford the good originals. I simply refused to pay more than the price of a re-issue for something of inferior quality. I think the most I spent on a boot was $100 for my taiwan super AND my boot strike. I normally spent less than $40 for my boots. When I only need one or two I might be willing to spend more just to end this nightmare, but until then... but seriously...you can get a re-issue super of ebay for $80... I wouldn't spend more than that for a bootleg unless you were a completist hippie retard who had waaaaay to much money. I myself am a completist hippie retard on a very limited budget who has patience...

it will go a lot higher than $46. I've seen a unused jetfire sticker sheet clear $100! Repro labels are cool for using on your toy but unapplied original sticker sheet makes a boxed toy better. I do both when I can... use repros on the toy and keep the original sheet mint. the funny thing is this just sold a little while back... http://cgi.ebay.com/transformers-jetfire-w...1QQcmdZViewItem I would have bid more, primarily for the stickers, but decided that http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 was a better use of my limited resources at that moment in time.

"macress" they r supreme crap.

david hasslehoff... what?

store small screws and parts in them. A few for mixing paint is good but when you have lots use 'em for storage.

take lots of cosplay pics

this is really nice.....does this come with complete armor??? do you happen to have a 1:55 Super-O.....by the way great collection....!!!! 339210[/snapback] As for the seeker... I got lucky and a member here sold me an original seeker he outbid me on when he no longer needed it. He even stripped the ragu colored paint off it nicely for me. It's a real bandai seeker but without a real box for it it's safer in the spare joon's box I had. The beer's set of f/p I have for it didn't quite fit in a re-issue box . Here's a pic of the armor dry fitted on a cf. as for a super o... I managed to score a loose one on ebay real cheap because it was missing it's tail assembly. It wasn't broken in any way... just missing the tail assembly. Beer's super o' resin does fit in a reissue super box though My original point in starting this thread was figuring out what I don't have rather than show off what I do have. I'll happily show case my collection in detail but I REALLY need to find a better picture hosting place than tripod and I don't want to waste MW's server space if I don't have to.

Hey Kanata, in case you didn't know, most if not all of the Joon's Patriot VF-1J's had the head/neck mount assembled incorrectly from the factory. That's why the Patriot has the whole Giraffe thing going on. I used to own a few that I eventually customized but while they were still Joon's I detached the head/neck mount and reassembled it correctly. Basically, the spring is put between the neck mount and the head as opposed to inside the neck mount like it was designed to be. Just thought that I'd point it out to ya. Valkfan 339159[/snapback] thanks for the heads up. Fixed that little problem. Surprised I never noticed that myself. Guess I should play with my boxed toys occasionally 11 minutes from valkfans post to a completed task... not bad for my hippe ass 339160[/snapback] Hey Kanata, do you exchange the tailwings since their all put in backwards or do you leave it as is? 339168[/snapback] now i have to go look at the stupid toy again?!?! All joon's or just the patriot? mine has blue inner and red outer... is that how it should be?

maybe found a host... I forgot all about my tripod site most of the 1/55s misc bots another view of the 1/55 case... rooms to small for a real pic more stuff close up on my undead... bodies stacked on bodies... edit in... Oh yeah... now I remember why I haven't used tripod in years try direct http://kanata67.tripod.com/macross_stuff/index.album?i=2 just won this on ebay... wonder what it is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

anybody have pics of them side by side?

Whhooooaah!! THAT's impressive. Is the quality of that boot on par with the other Joons's? VERY nice find, dude. 339016[/snapback] actually it's a bandai that somebody customed and sold on ebay. I threw it in as a joke... kinda like the joon's ve

finally got a loose hcm I can make into a ve-1 custom, including most of the ve parts I will need, from a friendly monkey. The monkey forgot to include the decals but I'm not gonna complain. Anyways... the 1/72 was completely dis-assembled when I recieved it and I spent a few hours last night putting it back together. Thankfully the design was damn near identical to a 1/55 so I didn't have much trouble... till I found myself missing a screw and having parts left over. Anybody got a spare screw for the backplate? I'm not to hopeful there and will probably find one locally [eventually] but maybe somebody knows what the parts are for and where they go. I thought they might be some kind of tail hook by how they look but damn if I can figure out where they would go. The srew I need and the parts I can't understand are both in the pic.

which existing thread? I didn't want to post to many pics even though I cropped them I still hate using up server space. Oh well a few more pics won't hurt. jetfire with unfolded flap crease mint. Actually I need a friggin g1 catalog well... I would have posted the pic but I didn't crop it enough it seems. Where a good free place that hosts pics? maybe this pic will work... nope thank god for backpage maybe this one... nope... not that one either... looks like no collection pics till I find a host. HEre's a pic of the saddest 1/55 to ever make it's way into my hands.

and baaaad pic of painted. You can see the main difference though... the panel lines extend through the symbol rather than skipping over it in the sticker type.

I need to learn how to make my camera focus AND zoom close up of the sticker

painted matsu

not going to bother posting pics of stuff they already have in the toy archives. they don't have a pic of the stickered matsu though

bandai 1/55 1d strike

1 1/100 from every manufacturer I believe... unless there are more bootlegs I don't know about. Hopefully I only need the taka's. was taka the company everybody bootleged the worst?

taiwan super I believe

the "space fighter" no manufactures name/mark... very joon's like

the "robotec" 1/55

ko strike [italian or chinese?]

joon's ve
